Drew Magary is one of my favorite writers in all of the blogosphere. He is in more desperate need of a mental health professional than anybody out there, but that’s part of his charm. Anyway, he posted some interesting questions of a “what if” nature about the current mass psychosis surrounding the Bronco celebrity quarterback. I… Read More Tebow-Mania Continued: Deadspin Poses Some Awesome Hypothetical Questions
There’s really nothing quite like the special level of hell reserved for when a current phenomenon inspires the return of one with a “retro” feel.

I think we all know this has been a tough couple of days in the world of sports. I think we’ve all had enough scandal and death lately. I think we’ve all had enough lockout talk. But out of all the sorrow we’ve seen this past week, I deliberately waited for a few days to… Read More The Day I Became One Of Joe Frazier’s “Boys”

For your perusal, here is the full roster for a… Read More The All-Time, All Fat Guy Baseball Team
When you are a kid, two things that get your juices going are music and sports. Face it, being good at either was the ticket to Chick-town, and since I was 14 with enough testosterone surging through my veins to kill a man in his 50’s, I got involved in both because I was taking… Read More The Deep Six: “Old School” Rhythm Sections and Their Sporting Equivalents
On the last episode of “Guess That Gender,” guest judge Crocodile Dundee stated clearly that South African runner Caster Semenya was a dude. Now, some other Aussies, the kind with those juicy, delicious science brains concur. Two Australian newspapers reported Friday that gender tests show the world champion athlete has no ovaries or uterus and internal… Read More Dude Looks Like Lady, Part Deux
