  • How we’ll remember Yordano Ventura

    How we’ll remember Yordano Ventura

    I didn’t even like baseball before Yordano Ventura. The Royals had been terrible my whole life, even with Zack Greinke. And basketball comes first in my hometown of Lawrence, Kansas, anyway. In college, my friends drove out to Kauffman Stadium with $8 nosebleed tickets and moved their way up to the good seats, which were […]

  • Championship Weekend Preview

    Championship Weekend Preview

    I feel like every time I sit down to write my preview I start it out with the news that another team is moving. Guess what? The Raiders filed paperwork to move to Las Vegas. Does anyone else think this is a bad idea? First of all, yeah their stadium is old and the locker […]

    The Australian Open is the perfect event for night owls

    There’s a few dead times when it comes to the sports world: the MLB All-Star break – no sports for three days, the transition of dealing with two sporting days a week after baseball ends and football begins, when football winds down and we have to whine about basketball, and on a much smaller scale, the late night […]

  • NFL Divisional Weekend Preview

    NFL Divisional Weekend Preview

    The news of the week is that the Chargers are leaving San Diego for Los Angeles. And their new logo is a pile of garbage made in Paint. However, now they’re saying that it isn’t their logo after everyone made fun of it on Thursday. The @Chargers told me this is NOT their new logo- […]

  • The Minnesota Vikings Offseason Primer

    The Minnesota Vikings Offseason Primer

    On October 19th, during the Minnesota Vikings bye week, I wrote this article about how the Sam Bradford trade was an enormous win-win for both the Eagles and Vikings. Remarkably, both the Eagles and Vikings were undefeated through 5 weeks and the week 6 matchup looked to be a possible NFC playoff preview. Well, including […]

    Spanos is Spanish for spineless – a rant from a Chargers fan in Iowa

    (Editor’s note: There is a bunch of foul language to come, so be warned!) WHAT THE FUCKING FUCK IS THIS HORSE FUCKING SHIT? Are serious Clark? Don’t push me, Eddie. I have been the anti-outrage guy recently but then the Chargers gotta…Charger. After 56 fucking years in a beautiful fucking city that could be considered […]

    What the Fox happening?

    What a difference a year makes. Just seven months after completing one of the greatest underdog stories in modern sport history, Leicester City is stuck near the bottom of the Premier League table in 15th place. At this time last season, Leicester was sitting in 1st place having lost just 2 matches. This season has […]

    POLLitically Incorrect – 1/10/17

    Baylor is now the number one team in the country, and one of just two undefeateds (Gonzaga). I’m totally fine with this and have argued in favor of the Bears for weeks, however, they were less than impressive last week in their climb to the top. Elsewhere in the country, the ACC is starting to […]

    LOSE TIDE LOSE

    Bama, I hate you. I hate the stupid commitment to your uniform scheme, the arrogance and stupidity that can be found in the fan base, and basically everything about the state and program. I hate them because they’re great. Because they’ve found a process that works, and a genius coach, the rest of us have […]

    Friday Degenerate Board – 1/6/17

    I never tire of winning a couple hundred dollars a week. Plus I’m leaving for my honeymoon next week, and I could use the extra cash. Hopefully, we can continue this trend into the new year because 2017 is already awesome. It’s time to really start switching to basketball and say goodbye to football which […]
