Bye Bye, A. I.

No, not that strange Hayley Joel Osment flick. We think we’re the only ones who remember that. In fact, does anyone even remember Hayley Joel Osment?
Nope, it’s the big guy, Allen Iverson. Apparently he “still has love for the game and the desire to play.” But he’s retiring at the ripe old age of 34. [...]

Fantasy Football Update: Week 10

This is a sad, depressing story–but it has a happy ending.  Here are the sad parts:

Confessions of a Terrible Red Sox Fan

We hate to admit this, but we sort of wanted the Yankees to win the World Series.
Ugh, ’scuse us.  We have to go beat ourselves up a little.  But that won’t make it less true.
We’re fans of the game, and the way the game’s played, the New York Yankees were far and away the best [...]
