Oh, full disclosure on this: I'm wearing Puma sneakers right now, as I do almost every day. Read more
Oh, also, Marmol has the most hit batters among pitchers with fewer than 610 innings. But you probably could have guessed that. Read more
“We’ve sent his blood off for further analysis to see if there was anything else, if the mushrooms could have been laced with something,” Fox said, adding that toxicology results are pending. Read more

Please note: According to the guys who made the video, when Drake is bleeped, he's not the one cursing. He actually says, "I am media." Which is just a beautiful way to put it. Read more
Friends, we are at No Idea on E. 20th St. in Manhattan to watch. We're in the back. Pasty guys, mostly. Come say hello. Read more
No. This is not one of the unwritten rules of Jeopardy. But here's one that should be—the blustery doofus who has been this week's unquestioned champion keeps rifling through the middle-dollar-value answers in each category in search of the Daily Double. He'll jump from category to category. It totally disrupts the… Read more
We average out to late-20s, I think. We like meat. Craggs likes egg roll cheesesteaks. The Aaron Hernandez page is now being updated. Read more
We polled the staff. I root for the Jets and Mets, as does Koblin, which sticks us unquestionably in last place. Best off? Dom's from Pittsburgh, so he had all that hockey and football success despite the baseball misery. Craggs is a Bulls fan, so he had a nice little run in the 90s. And Barry roots for the Yankees.

This is a good question. Probably best to let Dom take it.
Oh, absolutely, yes. Just make sure the copy in question is old enough to seem vaguely "vintage" or "antique." If it's a used copy of, like, Killing Lincoln, you're in tougher shape. Read more
Yep—linked it above (bc of the Rauch story) when talking about Harvey. So many great details, and it's nice for those details, for the first time in ages, to focus on skills that Mets players have, rather than clubhouse loutishness. (I consider the Rauch story a good kind of loutishness!) Read more
I gotta stick up for poor Doc here, who has apparently built himself a (yes, small) group of antagonists by—well, what, exactly? Daring to announce a game with verve and flair and good humor? Applying a writer's touch (as Drunken Midgets notes) to a too-often-artless medium? Knowing and loving the game more than most… Read more
A couple thoughts: a) Whose jersey is he wearing? Is that a BELTRAN 15 or a RODRIGUEZ 75? Or something else? b) Note how the Cardinals fans come to aid him when his own friends don't. What an awful team, but what an unflinchingly civil fanbase. Hate them for it. Read more
No kidding. I talked to him about it a little bit. He said he started working on anti-missile projects during his summers at college; a professor had recommended him. I asked him if this was a model he thought current NFL players could follow. He said no. Read more

The second half of the season was a nightmare, which had a lot to do with whatever happened to Tebow's ribs. But he was doing sort of the ideal post-Denver Tebow role in the first half (including some time at TE/WR, when this happened), and still didn't set the game afire. I think he can still be useful—he was… Read more
Maybe now we'll get the dream Tebow we all envisioned: a little wildcat, a little receiver, a little tight end, a little special teams. Read more
