Jonathan Martin

What is surprising for me in the Miami Dolphins bullying case is how much support Jonathan Martin has been getting from the team and the NFL.

No doubt a decade earlier and Martin would have been quietly released by the club and his reputation as a player tarnished with the phrase "locker room cancer".

Kudos for him for standing up to the bullshit, and kudos for his many supporters.

75-76 Reds reunite

I think I got something in my eye.


This team is my first memory of baseball.
I will remember them all by name until I die.

TP anybody?

Hunter Pence bats like he hasn't wiped his ass for two days.

USAUSA ON FOX!!!

Dear Fox,

I know how you like to pump up the rah, rah US nationalism during NFL games. Please, please tone to down for the US vs Cuba Gold Cup game tomorrow

Yeah, no chance of that.

USA?

You'd think the World Baseball Classic was tailor-made for the US.

However, the US has never made the final.

Shuddup Ian

Ian, please stop talking to Gus Johnson like he's 10.

"You see what he's doing there, Gus?" Every fucking minute...

We all know he's new to the game, but you making it sound like he's an idiot, and he's not. It makes you sound like a Eurosnob.

The Empire Strikes Slightly

I was amused in watching the Manchester United game today, to see the Happy Chinese New Years ads on the signboards.

It shows both what the British Empire has learned, and has not.

By marketing to their Chinese fans, they realize they are much broader market, But but by only wishing happy new year to the Chinese, they make the assumption that all Asians are Chinese.

Lose one for the Gipper

Dear 49ers,

Please lose.

Love,
Me.
