You may have seen a stirring on Twitter yesterday from the biannual Television Critics Association press tour. A stirring that showed, yet again, that the internet’s love of The Simpsons is deep, endearing and unending. Mmmmmmmm… unending deer [slobbers].

Although that headline could come from 2009, it appears once again thanks to something that happened in the booth Monday night. Evan Gattis returned to the Atlanta Braves’ lineup on Monday night after missing 17 games with a bulging disc in his back. Well, Chip Caray would have you believe differently. Bulging dick, bulging disc…what’s […]

Charles Barkley’s golf swing is the kind of legend that will only grow in time. It will be to future generations what the Loch Ness Monster was to past ones.

Television and movie funnyman Steve Carell showed up at a Red Sox game and was interviewed by NESN sideline reporter Gary Striewski. Sideline reporter-celebrity interviews are usually always awkward and this one is no exception. My favorite part of this interview though, and what slightly sets it apart, is just how starstruck Striewski seems. In particular, […]

One of the most challenging things about being an international soccer fan is explaining the different competitions that take place throughout the season. If I had a nickel for every time I tried to explain to my dad the difference between the Premier League, FA Cup, and Champions League, and how these competitions all take […]

When the baseball season hits late July, it takes some creativity to power through the summer doldrums. For the Arizona Diamondbacks, that meant a Star Wars night where everyone got to bring their best Comic-Con game to the ballpark. Even the announcers. Here’s Steve Berthiaume and Bob Brenly dressed as a storm trooper and Chewy […]
