Oh, Jared Sullinger. I wish I had a time machine so I could go back to 2011 and give you this message and tell you all the mean things the draftniks are saying about you. Despite being a projected top 10 pick last year, maybe top five, you were stung by a brutal loss to Kentucky in the Sweet 16, and...
Dustin Pedroia Did Not React Well To Rumors Of Kevin Youkilis Being Traded
The Red Sox sent Kevin Youkilis packing yesterday, shipping the popular third baseman (and more than $5 million) to the White Sox for Brent Lillibridge and pitcher Zach Stewart.

A little moment of levity to break up all the dark vibes floating around would be nice, yes?

Remember: Umpires Are Only Human, Especially When They Trip And Fall On Their Faces
When is a routine chopper that bounces harmlessly down the third-base line before rolling foul worth watching again and again?

Editor's Note: Suggesting Dan Snyder Is A Bullshitter Is Not As Libelous As Writing, "Dan Snyder Blows Dogs"

Dan Snyder's Official Team Bio Is A Tour De Force Of Bullshit
When you think of Redskins owner Dan Snyder, you think of a miserable, gutless sack of shit who ruined a franchise and made an entire fanbase hate his guts.

Derek Lowe And Dusty Baker Are Having The Greatest Feud Ever
The exact origins are still unclear, but Indians pitcher Derek Lowe and Reds manager Dusty Baker have hated one another for quite some time. Who knew?

Kenyan Schoolchildren Reenact Game 6 Of The 1986 World Series
This has been going around for a week (we saw it when Keith Law tweeted it this morning) and it is picture perfect.

Here's The Rest Of Trent "Silverback" Williams's Gorilla-Themed Basement
Yesterday we brought you the news that Washington Redskins OT Trent Williams has fully bought in to his "Silverback" nickname, decorating his basement with all sorts of gorilla art.

Trent Williams Owns A Painting Of Himself As A Gorilla, Because Of Course He Does
Redskins tackle Trent Williams has a nickname: Silverback. It's a self-bestowed nickname, but he's really committed to the idea.

We were wr...
