For those of you that don’t… Read More The Kansas City Chiefs Are A Bit Better: Now 100% Chan Gailey Free!

Man, where do I begin with this one? Is it their psychopathic asshole legendary coach who got fired for slugging an opposing player?

Monday night, before the Vikings game against the Houston Texans, King Brett I said he might have a cracked rib, but that there has been no official diagnosis.

I have hated the Dodgers since childhood, and I will hate them until my dying breath. Even after that, I will still hate them. The Dodgers franchise is the embodiment of “warning track power.”… Read More Teams That Grind My Gears: The Los Angeles Dodgers
