Yet another reason Philly fans can never have nice things
What is one thing synonymous with a day spent at a baseball park? A hot dog. The Phillies had seemingly cracked the code on making that perfect partnership happen while maximizing its value for fans with their “Dollar Dog” night, where every hot dog sold was – you guessed it – a dollar....
Is trouble brewing for the USWNT?
It’s been mostly quiet on the Western front for the USWNT since last summer’s World Cup full-body dry heave. A couple of friendlies to send off legends, a couple more to close out the year with no stakes, and an easy start to the Women’s Gold Cup last week with resounding wins over the Dominican Rep...
Look what the Royals want to do to KC; Rob Manfred stepping down, Lenny Dykstra has a stroke

How much is the NHL’s increase in scoring due to goalie pads or increased skill?
The NHL is always chasing goals. Sometimes to its detriment, as the league often confuses goals with action. What the league really wants is to assign the Dead Puck Era to the land of wind and ghosts forever, which it pretty much has. It wants a fast game showing off the skills of players and not th...
This might have been the worst year ever for Super Bowl commercials
The dirty little secret about Super Bowl ads is viewers can watch them before the Big Game, with companies (presumably) wanting to stretch the impact of their most expensive spots of the year. Why anyone would seek out commercials before they’re forced to watch them, I have no idea, but, uh, yeah, i...

Carl Weathers and the professional athletes who became actors
Acting and sports have a lot in common. It takes a ton of body control to do either, both are consumed by millions, and the biggest stars usually have a ton of charisma. These are the athletes who broke out of their sports and became big stars in Hollywood. ...

Thank god for Spain holding Luis Rubiales accountable
Former Spanish Football Federation head Luis Rubiales could be facing not only criminal charges, but jail time, thanks to his planting an extremely unwanted kiss on Jenni Hermoso’s lips after Spain won the World Cup in 2023. On Thursday, the judge who presided over an inquiry into the incident recom...
Joe Mauer, Todd Helton and the 1-team baseball Hall of Famers by franchise
The 2024 Hall of Fame inductions added two names to a very exclusive list.

Blue Jays need some reality; Gooden, Strawberry numbers retired; Wainwright switches careers
In a lot of ways, feverishly watching the flight route of a plane that wasn’t everything it was cracked up to be is a pretty nice metaphor for the Toronto Blue Jays’ offseason and outlook. The Jays knew Shohei Ohtani wasn’t on that flight, but their fans certainly didn’t. That doesn’t mean that the ...
A Draper not named Don threw up in a trash can on Monday

These are the worst MLB free-agent signings ever
The media and fans (not so) patiently waited for the two biggest free agents —Shohei Ohtani and Yoshinobu Yamamoto — to sign new deals with new teams. The American League MVP and the 25-year-old ace both inked pacts with the Los Angeles Dodgers, who have spent more than $1 billion so far this offsea...
The New York Mets can, and should fall back on their billionaire owner
Welp, so much for that idea. Yoshinobu Yamamoto is a Los Angeles Dodger, and the New York Mets are still the Mets. After putting on a full-court press for the Japanese ace, giving it 115 percent, and leaving it all on the field, owner Steve Cohen’s efforts amounted to diddly squat. Now it’s back to ...
Yoshinobu Yamamoto’s free agency is a lot more interesting because there’s a lot less Dodgers
The Yoshinobu Yamamoto sweepstakes are infinitely more interesting and illuminating than Shohei Ohtani’s free agency for many reasons: People have been allowed to report on them, there seem to be more suitors than just the Dodgers and a couple are based in the last few baseball-rabid markets in Amer...
