Still A Lot To Play For In The A.L.
Less than a week to play for the Red Sox, Yankees, Indians, and Angels. They’re all making the playoffs. That’s the good news. Two teams will be on the road for Game 1. That’s the bad news. If you think there’s no reason to pay attention to the American League anymore, think again.

I Get It ... Sports Reporters are GENIUSES!
The more columns I read lately from sports reporters and professional sports bloggers, the more I’m noticing a really, really annoying trend: the self-serving ways these guys continuously pat themselves on the back. Now, maybe this has been going on for a long time, but in an era when there is so

Football Quarterback Busts
The quarterback position is the most coveted position in the game of football. It's also the position that has only a dozen or so people that will ever be thought of as the all time greats. This list of quarterbacks is far from the greatest of all time. These guys are the reason general managers and
