Local Columnist Explains Baseball To 'Female Persons' Who Know 'Nothing' About Baseball

data-mm-id=”_o12vo0bt9″>The Albany Herald is a newspaper in Albany, Georgia with a distribution of nearly 22,000. The Herald's editor is Carlton Fletcher, which is the only explanation as to how Carlton Fletcher's column, "Answers to ladies' questions about baseball" was published in the year 2019. It has everything and nothing. Dated references, false premises, a straw woman. The actual content of this article is bad. Even if this is an attempt at satire, it is funny only in its unintentional hilarity. The author's headshot even looks like something that would accompany something much more well-written on ClickHole. Every paragraph contains something that will make you cringe. It's a hodgepodge of old store-brand Tim Allen bits written through the …

Skip Bayless: 49ers Should Cut Jimmy Garoppolo, Sign Tom Brady

data-mm-id=”_lcz78i97c”>As one would expect after the biggest football day of the year, the takes have come hot and heavy on Monday morning in regards to the two teams featured in last night's Super Bowl. Max Kellerman has already come out and said Patrick Mahomes is the greatest player to ever live, and it's not even noon. Now, it's Skip's turn. Bayless went on Undisputed to explain what the 49ers should do following a devastating loss that saw them blow a 10-point lead in the fourth quarter as supposed franchise QB Jimmy Garoppolo fell apart when it mattered most. Bayless said they should simply cut Garoppolo now and sign Tom Brady to a two-year deal. "This is what I would do: I would cut Jimmy G and sign Tom Brady for 2 more years. Brady would live and love …

Rob Manfred: Stripping Astros of 2017 Title 'Seems Like a Futile Act'

data-mm-id=”_tq1tkq71y”>The spotlight continues to shine on the Houston Astros as they attempt to cope with the fallout of their cheating scandal while spring training begins. The calls for the franchise to be stripped of their 2017 World Series title have continued to grow louder. On Sunday, commissoner Rob Manfred sat down with ESPN's Karl Ravech to discuss the situation and the punishments meted out by the league. When discussing the possibility of taking away the Astros' title, Manfred said it was discussed, but ultimately he felt that it seemed like a futile act. From the article: “”In the context of my original decision, something that we talked about and analyzed extensively,” said Manfred on potentially stripping the Astros of 2017 title. “A big topic of conversation …

Signing Andy Dalton Over Cam Newton Isn't Ludicrous Despite What Talking Heads Say

data-mm-id=”_2govog2k7″>In the pantheon of nicknames and talent level, the Red Rocket can't hold a candle to Superman. But just because Andy Dalton wasn't blessed to the same degree as Cam Newton doesn't mean he's not a better free agent quarterback. No matter what all the analysts tell you. Since he was released by the Bengals, the Jaguars and Patriots have been mentioned as potential landing spots for Dalton. That led to several pundits, including Nick Wright, to question the idea of a team signing Dalton over Newton. "If the Patriots want to go with Jarrett Stidham, more power to them. … But if they choose to go the free agent QB route and they choose Andy Dalton, who hasn't been good since 2015, over Cam Newton it's utterly, and totally indefen…

NFL Says Dave Portnoy Failed Background Check, Won't Watch Game With Roger Goodell

data-mm-id=”_8itd72edw”>Dave Portnoy won't be watching a Monday Night Football game with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell after all. The founder of Barstool Sports, won a charity auction a few weeks ago that would have allowed him the opportunity to watch a Monday Night Football game in Goodell's man cave. The league is now claiming Portnoy failed a background check and his auction win has been nullified. Portnoy announced he won the auction in a tweet on May 10:You are fucking right I won it. @nflcommish better not fuck me.

Is Joining Twitter Dan Snyder's Worst Decision Yet?

data-mm-id=”_ob2ssr13v”>Dan Snyder, the owner of the Washington Football Team (Est. 1932), has joined Twitter, @Real_DanSnyder. This is surprising, but also makes a ton of sense because it is so obviously not well thought-out. If Snyder wanted to join Twitter, he would have done it years ago. He has clearly been told by someone in the Football Team's marketing department, or maybe a personal publicist, that he should join Twitter and he has done it against his will. What use could Dan Snyder possibly have for Twitter at this point in his life, years after the medium took off? Daniel Snyder’s protected Twitter account. / Will he be live-tweeting games? Starting an Office re-watch podcast with Jennifer Garner? Tweeting #spon content about how great FedEx is? Or is he just looking to…

'Schitt's Creek' Is a Great Show and No One Cares If You Don't Like It

data-mm-id=”_40h4lcqnf”>Ever since Schitt's Creek won all of the Emmys last week, a new wave of people have discovered the show. And with that came a second, smaller, more annoying wave of people proclaiming that it isn't funny. The latest being case to cross my timeline came from this New York Times reporter. Tried to watch the first two episodes of Schitt’s Creek and I have an idea: What if shows were good right away instead of making people insist you have to power through two seasons before it’s worth your time? I dunno just an idea— Daniel Victor (@bydanielvictor) September 28, 2020Ew, Daniel. To make this relevant to a sports site, that's the equivalent of saying, "Tried to watch the first two drives of the Kansas City Chiefs' postseason and I have …

Giants Ownership Lied About Dave Gettleman

data-mm-id=”_ykgs6eymw”>When asked in September what it would take for woebegone general manager Dave Gettleman to keep his job after the 2020 season, Giants co-owner John Mara cast a wide net. Despite two straight embarrassing seasons with Gettleman at the helm, Mara didn't pinpoint a specific number of wins. Instead, he offered the following outline for what he expected. “We need to feel like we’re building something that is going to compete for a championship. If we are able to play meaningful games in December, that would be a sign that we are doing that.”On the one hand, the Giants accomplished that goal. Their last game of the season was meaningful. They needed a win to have a chance to make the playoffs and they got it. We'll get to the sad nature of why in a minute,…
