Now If They Would Just Play It Outside In The Snow
As somebody who has utterly no interest in any of the major sports’ All-Star Games, even I have to admit this is a great idea. The NHL is going to turn its All-Star weekend into a playground pickup game. Um, a frozen playground. Er, an indoor frozen playground. Under the new format, two captains per […]
Was This Really Necessary?
So, this play has gone viral, as some middle school football team pulls off an amusing trick play. Sure, it’s fun and everything, but is this really something we should be celebrating? That’s nothing against the kids. Hey, they provided the Internets with a little entertainment. But what about the adults? I mean, there’s some […]

Kevin Durant Isn’t Perfect
I probably am the biggest Kevin Durant fan this side of his mom, but I must admit this was refreshing.
