The Score did a fun (depending on your perspective at least) little roundup of some of the stranger injuries in sports. I wasn’t sure whether or not I was going to post it, but then this happened. Bryce Mitchell (2018) Don’t stick a power drill in your pocket: That’s the lesson UFC fighter Mitchell learned …

the Following Goofy Sponsorships Are Brought To You By…
Every bit of a sports broadcast is sponsored. Penalty kills, powerplays, calls to the bullpen, the broadcast booth…I’m used to that. But hearing on a Bluebombers game the other day that “Doug Brown’s colour commentary is brought to you buy…,” that was a new one. Caught me off guard so much that I immediately forgot …

Some Things I Wrote Down
I thought I was finally starting to get a bit better at the posting thing again, but I’ve hit another wall, it seems. So maybe I’ll try jotting some stuff down and posting it when it feels right. Making myself do this in the usual ways hasn’t worked in years, so maybe this will. It’ll …
Just Call It The CFNFL And Get It Over With
The CFL announced a bunch of rule changes yesterday that will be phased in over the next few years and I’ve gotta tell ya, I don’t think I like ’em much. Ok, so maybe that’s not totally fair. I’m sure some of it will be fine, and perhaps even good. If the play clock can …

For a lot of reasons, I’ve been way more behind on even more things than usual for quite a while now. One of those things, I have just come to discover, is that Larry Mellott retired from calling Guelph Storm games at the end of last season. Congrats on a great run, Larry! It won’t …

Ba Da Ba Ba Ball
Man. Why can’t this fella ever be my delivery guy? Half the time it’s all the ones around here can do to get it all the way up to my apartment rather than just dumping it in the unsecured vestibule and hoping for the best. Officials just stopped the Loyola Chicago-Duquesne game because an Uber …
Today In Rotten Baseball Ideas: The Golden At-Bat
The Golden At-Bat rule could give MLB a new shine. But is it worth it? I don’t remember where this theory came from and I’m too lazy to try looking it up, but for years I’ve heard people say that when a headline ends with a question, the answer is almost always no. This is …

I Think You’ve Just Crossed A Line, MLB Audio
On this final day of the Major League Baseball regular season, I would like to take a second to offer the heartiest of fuck yous to the MLB app for cutting away from the legendary Bob Uecker while he was in the midst of giving his feelings on the end of the Oakland Athletics so …

We Have Breaking News About The Blue Jays Lineup. Carissa Got Her Diploma Again!
Time for your annualish Steve loses his shit at MLB Audio for dinking with the broadcasts and fucking everything up post. I swear I could almost start an entire website devoted to only this if I knew that doing so wouldn’t cause me to bust a blood vessel and die. The reason I’m flipping my …
