Best Mother: Margaret Wycherley as Ma Jarrett in White Heat
Worst Mother: Margaret Wycherley as Ma Jarrett in White Heat

Well, I never cared for most of my managers. Owners were even worse. This is regarding hotels not baseball. My favorite baseball manager is Jim Leyland, he sneaked puffs of cigarettes in the dugout. That was fun to espy. Love Jim Leyland. My friends lived in the same neighborhood when he managed in...

Today the MLB Channel announced that Albert Pujols was coming out of retirement in order to pass Babe Ruth in lifetime homers. Then they revealed that was not true. It was an April Fool's joke.

These guys were pummeled like rag dolls every Sunday. I grew up as a Cowboys fan and Roger Staubach was ...

Yeah soccer is excruciating but football is getting just as bad. Games last three and a half hours now and the ball is only in play for 10 to 11 minutes in an average game.
