Do us all a favor, baseball, and go back on strike [MLB]
Congrats Yankees fans! I’m really happy you won your 27th championship. You’ve got a great franchise there that has dominated like no other franchise in the world of sport. But then if you hadn’t, you could be called the greatest bust in the history of sport. Because nobody else can field the players you can, right? So [...]

EA Sports NCAA Football
This is a great series of games, of which I have owned almost (if not) every version that’s been released. But there always seems to be something getting in the way of my full enjoyment of the games, so I thought I might write a bit about what’s wrong with them in the hopes that [...]
The 2-Loss National Champion [LSU]
LSU won the college football national championship, which comes as no surprise to me. I predicted a 2-loss national champion way back on October 7th, which might make me a better college football analyst than Lee Corso. For more sports commentary from me, refer to my sports blog: Real Men Wear Houndstooth.
