“I know a lot of people are saying, ‘His body got bigger.’ Well, if you’re eating...”
– Jeff Bagwell, refuting the idea that he took steroids. I personally find it more objectionable that he ate THIRTY POUNDS OF MEAT EVERY SINGLE DAY. That’s roughly a dozen cows a year. Steroids have bad side effects, but I can’t imagine they’re much worse than what happens when you consume over five...

My Favorite Carols - "I'll be Home for Christmas" →
“I’ll Be Home For Christmas”, Frank Sinatra. When we’d listen to this song at my grandma’s house, she would get sad about my uncle, who lived in Los Angeles, and rarely came home for Christmas. It is unclear whether he ever came home for Christmas in his dreams. Having never lived more than an hour’s drive away from my own parents, I can’t relate to...

A Lesson For Yankee Fans

It’s an unprecedented day in Philadelphia history: an athlete took less money to go to Philly, in part because some OTHER fans were gigantic...

Veteran of the Year
I want to see a remake of “Rookie of the Year,” featuring a kid who’s actually a really good fireballing 13-year-old right-hander, until he breaks his arm. As the bones heal, the tendons “fuse with the humerus,” and the result is more realistic - he loses his fastball, and thinks his baseball career is over. BUT - thanks to a kindly pitching coach (cameo by Wakefield, of course), the result is...

Inside Weird Al's Comeback →
This article claims Weird Al is suddenly cool again - but stopped being cool from 1999 to 2006. This is a common theme in Weird Al journalism, and a similar story is written every time he releases a new album. People notice one of his new parody songs, and feel like he’s having a revival, when he’s actually just releasing an album every 2-3 years, just like always. And his primary fan...
