My internet friend Tracy wrote a post about Deadspin that kind of blew up. Here’s the lede:The thing about sports is that it, well, tends to be an old-boys’ club. The sports world is full of sexist shit that pisses me off if I think about it too much (and, honestly, I’m not often prone [...]

Chris Cooley: Regular Dude
July 25, 2008
I really enjoyed this interview between Dan “DC Sports Bog” Steinberg and Chris “Chris Cooley’s Official Blog” Cooley. It made me feel a bit bad for Fabini. Also, when Cooley mentioned that his blog gets ten or fifteen thousand hits a day, it made me feel a bit bad for myself.If you don’t have time [...]

Sex on TV? PERISH THE THOUGHT!
February 2, 2008
From Gregg Easterbrook’s over-the-top absurd column that essentially asserts that the Patriots’ season is indelibly tainted by “Spygate”—which is, in terms of its actual effect on competition in the leage, a complete non-event1:Will the Victoria’s commercial be TV-14? Earlier this season, TMQ noted that NBC’s Sunday night football wrap show is rated TV-14—I wondered whether [...]
