Texas Rangers Draft Russell Wilson (Yes, That One)
In today's Rule 5 draft, which allows teams to snatch up other teams' minor leaguers not on a 40-man roster but with a certain amount of service time, the Rangers took Russell Wilson, second baseman.

The Mariners' Front Office Sounds Like A Total Shitshow

This GIF Of Pete Carroll As A Wealthy Robber Baron Will Make You Smile

A Three-Man Front Is A Late-Game Defensive Formation For Suckers
The weekend, as I watched the absurd denouement of the Northwestern-Michigan game, something struck me as familiar — beyond the now-routine bumblefuckery that inspires the Wildcats to turn fourth-quarter leads into triple-overtime losses.
