Greg Maddux steps away from serial murder to prank Kris Bryant
I hope I'm doing this right. It's been a long time.

2016 has been a banner year for losing very entertaining and gifted performers in all areas. It can stop now.

All those guys talking about Randy Johnson being "intimidating?" They obviously don't remember Maddux wearing another guy's face at the 1995 World Series celebration.

Or, make a little scratch off that jersey. After all, nothing increases profitability like a murder or three.

So, if the season becomes a wash, do the Celtics blow up the team and ship out Pierce and KG?

As a Dolphins fan, this actually gives me something to cheer about heading into the season. And, as a Dolphins fan, at this point, I'll take just about any reason to cheer I can get...

I'm upset at the number of people on the internet who haven't apologized to me yet as well, particularly professional sports franchise owners and senior management. These fuckers need to get on the ball, metaphorically speaking.

If Petrino weren't such an absolute douchebag, maybe the penalties wouldn't be so harsh. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't seem to inspire a lot of respect from people lately.

They shouldn't be punished for doing the dance as much as they should be punished for actually watching Weekend at Bernie's II. Come to think of it, sitting through that movie was probably punishment enough.

"Though it occurred thousands of miles away from our home arenas, this tragedy represents a catastrophic loss to the hockey world -- including the NHL family, which lost so many fathers, sons, teammates and friends who at one time excelled in our League," said NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. "Our deepest condolences go to the families and loved ones of all who perished."
Jesus...awful, horrible news.

Yeah, I'm sure he wanted his college education interrupted by the Vietnam War. Didn't everybody? That war was so popular, I can't understand why they had a draft.

As a UF grad, I absolutely hate UT. Hate 'em with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns. That being said, I cannot adequately voice my heartfelt support and immense respect for Pat Summitt. I've always admired her for her professionalism and the success she's achieved, while not really paying much attention to the kind of human being she is. I am more impressed with Coach Summit than ever, and wish her and her family the best as they deal with this heartbreaking situation.

I would've been tempted to hit him on the fourth pitch, if I were Ceda. Screw it, he's taking his base either way.

Yeah, I wouldn't read too much into it either, especially given that it was a rookie QB's first start.
Especially considering he almost got his head forcibly removed...

Don't bother looking it up. I won that year. Yeah, I'm pretty sure of it. It was a runaway, as I recall. In fact, most of you were begging me not to even pick the last ten weeks of the season. Yep. True story.

Was it just me, or did it seem a little uncomfortable when LeBron left the court, as he stopped to speak to Wade and Bosh, and neither of them seemed too eager to interact with him? Perhaps they were both just a little stunned at the loss, but it seemed that they both kind of snubbed him a little bit. Then, he makes the walk down the tunnel to the locker room by himself, while teammates walked with Wade and Bosh. Just sayin'.

Also, when we were at fourth grade Vacation Bible School, he promised to be my best friend, but he was only saying that so I'd give him my tater tots. Is that really the kind of man you want on your team, in your locker room?

In competitions I've been involved with (again, East Coast, where the break generally isn't that far offshore), lots of professional lifeguards on the beach, and on kayaks, surfboards or boats well beyond the break, where they can still respond quickly, but don't interfere with the competitors. The boats themselves don't respond; they merely serve as a platform for the lifeguards.

Colliding with a fellow surfer or his board is dangerous enough; colliding with a personal watercraft weighing several hundred pounds and capable of tremendous acceleration and speed could easily prove fatal. While I've never surfed in big wave competitions, many of the organizations I've surfed with on the East Coast refused to use jet skis for that reason.

Unfortunately, what you believe was apparently never taken under consideration during the NCAA investigation of Cam Newton. Even if he did know what his father was up to, do you really expect him to testify to it? Would you roll over on your dad, if you were stuck in a similar situation?
Also, just curious, how is an Ohio State football jersey a student's "personal property?" I don't know you at all, but at first glance, it looks like you might be a Buckeye fan sipping an ice-cold pitcher of sour grape-tinis.

Honestly, I've never given a crap about watching the glad-handing with the commish, the pathetic interviews with kids who have a college degree but no basic grasp of the English language, and closeup camera shots of guys with frozen smiles on their faces as they slide down the draft order. All I care about is who goes where, period.
