Even Disney Jr. Can't Escape The College Football Playoff Cross-Branding
We noted last night that ESPN corporate parent Disney shoved a bunch of hilariously bad references to the college football playoff games on New Year’s Eve into yesterday’s episode of General Hospital.

Disney Inundates <i>General Hospital</i> Episode With References To New Year's Eve College Football Playoff Games

What Horrible Things Did We Do To Our Penises Last Year?
Ah, the penis. That most comical and vulnerable of body parts. It was a bad year for all of us, but for the approximately 1.2 billionth year in a row since the emergence of sexual differentiation, it was a particularly rough year for groins.

Bill Belichick Had A Plan, It Just Backfired Completely
By now we know that the Patriots’ decision to kick off to start overtime wasn’t a mistake—or at least, not the one it appeared to be at the time.

It's Time For The Mets' Garbage Owners To Go
The New York Mets went to the World Series last season and currently boast a young pitching staff that is not only one of the most talented in the game, but also one of the cheapest. And yet for the Mets, perhaps the game’s preeminent struggle-franchise, this is a big problem....
