Wardrobe Malfunction

Apparently Herm Edwards decided to wear a piece of graph paper as a suit on NFL Live tonight.  Who in their right mind thinks that looks good?  How does a grown man not know how to dress himself?  How do the producers let him get in front of the camera wearing something like that?  Is [...]

Then VS Now

This past Saturday, JD and I went out for a drink at our favorite bar.  Aside from all the regulars and the obnoxious loud drunks there was an old guy sitting next to me quietly nursing a shot of scotch and a beer.  After a couple hours of hanging out, he turns to JD and [...]

Yankees Fans, Knives, and my hometown bar are not a good combination

I grew up in a town in northern coastal Massachusetts called Beverly, founded in 1626. It looks a lot like a prototypical New England town that lies on the coast. John Updike made his home there, it was George Washington’s Naval Base, and Beverly Hills CA was named after my town’s rolling greenery.
Beverly is also [...]

If Zach Randolph Jumped Off A Bridge, Would You?

I hope your answer was something like: “Sh*t no!” Apparently though, there are a few GM’s in the NBA worried about the peer pressure that Randolph may impose on their highly-touted draft picks. And instead of my usual day of picking out Jeremy’s typos (Curt Schilling is spelled with a “C”) and not posting anything [...]

Adventures of Links

After yesterday’s barely existent and extremely depressing sports news cycle we were owed a day full of interesting sports stories (and ones that didn’t make you want to take a bath with a plugged-in hair dryer).  Well, the sports gods have provided.  Here’s some links to the best stories of the day.
Hilarious f#ck ups from [...]

I’m On To Your Scheme, Deadspin

Yesterday, Deadspin ran a feature on The Other Fifteen for it’s new segment “The Learning Curve.”  Their stated purpose of this segment is to give a new sports blog some traffic and let the Deadspin readers lend some constructive criticism to someone trying to make it in the industry.  Well, Deadspin gave us so much [...]

Way to mess up again, ESPN

I’m trying to tread carefully here, but this needs to be talked about. And I’m a Gentile, so just want to say that I’m not trying to piss anyone off. Only Yankees fans.
Last Sunday, I was watching the Cardinals play the Cubs on ESPN. Don’t ask me why I watched this instead of the Giants/ [...]

Baseball Bad News Roundup

Wow.  It’s a sh*tty day for headlines in baseball.  Let’s break it down.
The Giants top prospect Angel Villalona was charged with murder today.  The 19 year old farm hand is accused of shooting someone to death last Saturday night in a bar in his native Dominican Republic, though no motive has been provided.  Villalona was [...]

Bay Area Baddasses

Yesterday, both the Raiders and the 49ers won, which really hasn’t happened on the same day all too often in the last few years.  But there’s something different about these two teams that makes me think they will get back some of their mystique and be back to their winning ways in the very near [...]

This One’s for the Chi

I try not to make my posts on this website Chicago-centric.  I think if you scroll through the previous posts you’ll see that I do a good job of it.  But this posts is strictly for my hometown peeps.  Two things happened in Chicago sports today that I just have to talk about.
First, the good [...]
