Assuming there are no yet-to-be-released videos of Gregg Williams diagraming the best way to concuss an opponent, the Saints bounty story should fade into the background of the sports media cycle until draft day. If the media coverage of the Saints controversy tells us anything its the absolute dominance of football in the sporting landscape. […]
The Sunday night TV crew is back (Baggs, JoeDog, JimmyTV, and Alain) to discuss this week’s Game of Thrones and Mad Men episodes. Libidos run rampant this week while Arry makes water and Theon gets grabby. In Mad Men we get to see Don wrestle with his sexual desires and then hide them under the […]

There is no one event as special and nearly sacred as baseball’s opening day. It is much like Mardi Gras, a celebration of the last time one can be carefree and hopeful before eventually beginning the arduous journey of trials and sacrifice.
