    Men of mediocrity

    The Miami Dolphins beat the Pittsburgh Steelers Sunday by a score of 30-15, and I couldn’t be more pissed about it. No, I am not a fan of the Steelers – I am a fan of the Miami Dolphins. Being a Cubs fan, I understand that in order for the Dolphins to get better they need […]

    NFL week 6 preview

    I’m back, rested, and fresh off my bye week. Thanks to Tom for holding it down for me and picking some pretty rad gifs. Remember kids, gamble responsibly. Speaking of Tom, he’s now a fully committed Vikings fan and there’s no better timing, as they’re the league’s only undefeated team going into a bye this […]

    Will I jinx the Cubs?

    Wow! That about sums up the Cubs game last night – amazing finish and intense nine innings. I could go on and on about how much fun that was to watch. Here’s the thing though….I’m not a real Cubs fan. Sure they’re one of the closest MLB teams to where I grew up and currently […]

    This Week in the Group of 5 – 10/11/16

    Another weekend of college football, another satisfying meal for the Chaos gods. Sure, the top of the rankings mostly did what they were supposed to do and win. Five more undefeated teams went down this weekend, and we’re here with 11 perfect teams left, fighting it out. The only new entrant to the top five […]

    The Astounding Fantasy Practitioner: Week 5

    Much like Week 3, I was out of town all weekend, this time in Chicago. Vegas, Chicago… who am I, Beyoncé? (This is secretly Beyoncé.) Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to catch much football in Week 5, but I did make a point to watch the return of (Angry) Tom Brady. Why? Because he’s hashtag goat […]

  • Should I abandon my fandom?

    Should I abandon my fandom?

    I grew up in a state without a single professional sports franchise. I used to think it was the best way to grow up. You got to watch games objectively and got to choose your teams based on what you saw, what players they had, and essentially could make up whatever rationale you wanted for […]

    Why sports means something to us

    Has your team ever won something spectacular in miraculous fashion? You were so happy you didn’t care who you hugged or celebrated with. Has your team ever lost a game and you were so angry or upset that you vent to whoever will listen? Then that one person comes to you and says “don’t worry… […]

    NFL week 5 preview

    I’m not going to come here today pretending to be as knowledgeable and informed on the NFL as our resident expert, Janice. The truth of the matter is she’s on a BYE this week, so I was picked up of the trash pile of the waiver wire for some spot duty this week. I’m sure some […]

    The following is a look back at the 2012 NL Wild Card Game between the St Louis Cardinals and the Atlanta Braves and its infamous infield fly rule. As you can see, the ball reached slightly further than the infield. Fans in Atlanta didn’t share in the celebration.
