We just don’t have anybody on staff that is particularly interested in cricket. When Rohan was around he’d do some stuff on it or tip Burke off to video of some crazy cricket shit that happened, but that’s about it. Burke and I are vaguely into it—we’ve each written a couple of times about cricket deaths or crazy Read more

You know we can’t give you a real answer on this one. Read more

I’ve got a couple of cans of Three Stars Ghost White IPA with my name on em, and there is some sort of New Belgium in the fridge too. Read more

YOU come here for sports. Other people don’t. Trust us, we know our audience much better than you do. Read more

I’d love to hear thoughts on why people think the Braves pulled the trigger. It isn’t an atrocious or indefensible trade, but it does seem strange to me. Read more

Without a look at (non-existent) court documents, the settlement agreement, or knowing how much the settlement was for, your guess is as good as mine. Read more

Both of the JAMA Pediatrics links go directly to the studies in question. You’ll have to have a subscription to some sort of academic database to view more than the abstract. Read more

My understanding is that the reason there are no court documents—and the reason I didn’t use the word “suit” in the story—is that no lawsuit was ever filed in the case. Essentially, Baumann and her attorney presented their claims of sexual harassment to ESPN, and ESPN decided to settle before anything could be filed Read more
