This is what Adam Dunn is, … [Read more...] about White Sox Adam Dunn is rather bad at his job

Jose Canseco crosses line from laughable to scary
Watching Jose Canseco melt down on Twitter used to be funny. Used to be. Canseco is "obvs a cray" as the kids would say in today's modern lingo.

Jason Collins to Jackie Robinson analogies sort of work, sort of don’t
I wrote about the Jackie Robinson movie "42" 17 days ago: when it comes to social pioneering in sports, you’ll soon be hearing a lot of Jackie Robinson comparisons in the media. That’s because we’ll likely see the first ever openly gay athlete in the four major sports come out within the year. Early word is the NFL will be first, but the NHL may have fostered a more conducive … [Read more...] about Jason Collins to Jackie Robinson analogies sort of work, sort of don’t
