The New York Yankees probably wanted a storybook opening for their new stadium on Thursday: A dominating start from C. C. Sabathia, production from their new bats, and a lively crowd cheering them on to victory. For six innings, that was happening. Then the bullpen melted down, the Indians dropped nine runs on the Yankees’ […]

Everyone remembers the dead in their own way. Some people write songs, some people get tattoos, and some people build a simple monument.

(Not coming to a fan near you.)

Last month, Michigan State suspended tailback Glenn Winston for his role in an on-campus fight back in December. Well, wait, that doesn’t accurately describe what Winston did.

My first thought when reading about donkey ball was, “what are the odds this isn’t from the Middle East?” My second thought, after realizing how obvious it was that it’s played in rural America, was, “how can we get this on TV?”

(It’s like trying to teach Vince Carter to hustle.)
