Red Sox fans should be used to a guy with a last name sounding like “Buckner” blowing things for them against NL teams.

Steering a generation of kids home sick from school into careers in law enforcement.

Donald Sterling’s reputation as an owner could have taken a different turn if they did this in the late 80’s.

Oh, you know the guy visited Gatlinburg for vacation and said “I could see myself living here” and applied for a job after eating some lukewarm ribs at Bennett’s Pit Barbecue.

Well, yeah, if you’re the Democrats.

Not the news I wanted to see tonight.

Cigs wore it better.

Luke Hughes is going to be at the Olympics with peak rink rat energy asking his parents for popcorn money and running up and down the concourse with the other younger siblings while Jack and Quinn play.

We will be a proper city soon with proper Slop Bowls.

Ryan Adams is nodding in agreement.

The NBA Season is timed perfectly for Christmas. It’s early enough for teams with preseason hype to turn it around and make a run.

Week 17 in the NFL almost guarantees completely meaningless games featuring backup QBs and teams playing for draft positioning.

Leave Christmas Day to the NBA.

If restaurants did substitutions like Kroger:

“What would you like to drink?”

“Do you have Coke Zero?”
