There’s so much bizarre to terrible sports journalism that I don’t give it much attention unless it’s pretty egregious, and honestly that hasn’t happened in a while. A lot of the stuff that is totally out there is by professional trolls like Greg Doyel and so I don’t pay them any mind. I’m also not [...]

New York Sports Media Quote of the Day – March 4th, 2009
Today we feature Mike Vacarro of the New York Post, from his article “Alex Not in Same Class As Captain America”.

Going To Games Makes It Hard To Write About The Games
Phew, I had a long week at Yankee Stadium as I often do when the Yankees are playing against non big-ticket teams. I saw some good, some bad, and had some death wishes.

Here is today’s Front Page: If that wasn’t stupid enough, they also published this oh-so hilarious and entertaining graphic sidebar with the article: I [...]
