My favorite Mike Fahey story is second hand. He was at Comic-Con, sometime before 2011. He and McWhertor were down there together. Mike had saved up his dough to buy a bunch of toys from the floor and I guess he went there after the panels were done on Saturday. McWhertor came back to the room and found Mike laying on… Read more

The NCAA could solve this tomorrow if it let athletes have agents, if those agents registered with the NCAA (as they do with other organizations) and if they just laid down some simple rules for what endorsements they can take (shoe company sponsorship, si, “autograph party” at a booster’s car dealership that pays… Read more

You forgot, the institutional response here, to cheating, is “cheat more.” Read more

Where the hell is the mercy rule. They have it in video games, for god’s sake. Read more

Oh fuck man, the O’Jays. I’m six years old again, Dad’s making deviled ham sandwiches, Soul Train is on after Looney Tunes and after that, the Putt-Putt Tour Show with Billy Packer. Read more

Umpires should do the best they can to separate players before a fight begins but in an all-out charge-the-mound empty-benches affair, hell if I would obligate one to get in the middle of that and risk injury.

As for leaving-the-bench penalty, never happening. It’s precisely because there’s nine of one side and one of… Read more

We did not watch the same fight because at no point did I see Judge threatening, much less fighting, anyone or doing anything other than trying to restrain people and stop the brawl. Read more

Arenado today showed why if you’re going to go at the mound, go at it full steam. He chased Predomo off the mound, swinging as he went, piss-ant glove throws be damned. Kelly here motions Austin to the mound, Austin looks half-hearted through the whole thing, giving Kelly the chance to dodge him and get in a couple… Read more

Don’t forget how he teabagged Cena, wagging his tongue out as he did so, on the pin. Read more

I have family who worked local news for Sinclair, and I despise that company. I wouldn’t piss on it if it was on fire. Read more

I don’t understand this site. Deadspin has, for years, disparaged the “human element” justification of umpires who arbitrarily call balls and strikes — with no review and with the penalty of ejection for anyone who challenges such a call. Now here we have a ruling, assisted by all the technology available to a Major… Read more

Man, that is full of shit. It reads like an investigation into the high school football career of a Colorado senator. Read more
