Drove the Eagles to the goal line but the goal was denied...

I would love to sit here today and bitch and moan about Andy Reid's idiocy. The goal line futility. The lack of a fullback. The decision to jettison T.O. The refusal to use Buck or Baskett or Avant or Celek. The fact that Schobel and Considine and G-Lew still have jobs. But Doc Terry and the Greystone Ramblers do a better job than I would, and they do it in song! I give you "Andy Reid Bye:"

McNabb gets Bledsoed as Eagles lose in Baltimore

Andy Reid channeled Bill Parcells in benching Donovan McNabb today in Baltimore, much like the end of Drew Bledsoe's tenure as Dallas QB.

You called down the thunder, well now you've got it!

Dear Mascot Formerly Known as Raymond,

You got what you fucking deserved. First of all, as the mascot for a team which has absolutely no fans and has to resort to giving out cowbells to get the few poor schmucks stuck with free Rays tickets to make a minimal amount of bullshit noise, you obviously didn't do a very good job. But much more importantly, for you, as a self-respecting member of the mascot community, to even repeat such a sentiment as that you "out-enthused" the Phillie Phanatic is grounds to be barred from ever donning an oversized feathered suit again. You're a disgrace to your former profession and you will not, by any stretch of the imagination be missed. Until, of course, the Rays start to blow again early next season and the stands are empty. But until then, good fucking riddance. Perhaps now you'll have time to watch footage of the green giant from the Galapagos Islands in action, and realize you were never in the same league.

Love,

Does the NFL need shootouts?

The other day, I was on the fence regarding NHL overtime. Today I'm not on the fence: NFL overtime sucks footballs. Here's how to fix it.

John Lynch is a moron

Dear John,

While I concede you had a very accomplished NFL career, full of accolades and the adoration of millions of fans nationwide, I've never liked you one fucking bit. Even before you were the worst "good" player on a great Bucs defense which shattered my optimism for all eternity, I thought were an overrated cockstain whose reputation was built on a handful of bonecrunching hits and ignored the fairly high frequency with which you attempted to knock a dude's head off and just bounced right off of him. That said, I was perfectly happy to acknowledge that you deserved to be in the hall of fame the other day. However, if you want to retire as both a Buc and a Bronco I have no choice but to view the two John Lynches as separate, distinct individuals, neither of whom warrants consideration for a bust in Canton. Enjoy your life of solitude without the Hall, sucka!

Love,
Mgmt. Click me for the rest!

Is it time to blow away the NHL shootout?

Whining after Thursday's Flyers shootout loss (making them 8 for 28 all time in shootouts) is rampant among Flyers fans. I pose the question as to whether or not shootouts should meet the firing squad. You might be surprised at my answer.

Dear World: learn to fucking read

To everyone who has flamed my Examiner article about Baseball Prospectus, including the one whose comment I deleted today: read the fucking article before you miss the point. I never said stats aren't an accurate representation of what happened IN THE PAST or that they're useless, or even that they don't aid in making an educated guess at the future. I just pointed out that while predicting what will happen over the course of a baseball season always ends up boiling down to a crap shoot, fivethirtyeight.com made political predictions an actual science. Stop acting like I dissed your beloved Nate Silver. All I said is that if they need to be prognosticating, they should perhaps find a field they have a better chance of predicting accurately.

Advice for Baseball Prospectus: Stick to Politics

Baseball Prospectus would have you believe they're better at predicting the future than others are. They aren't, but their own Nate Silver might be on to something.

We passed the collective retard test!

For the first time in my adult life, tonight I am proud of my country. And no longer concerned I might need to make plans to move the fuck out of it. May the next four years do nothing to diminish the sense of awe you instill in all of us, Mr. President-elect. Click me for the rest!
