By Trevor Timm | Leave a Comment

Last week, the New York Times ran a giant article on The Daily Show’s Jon Stewart under the banner headline “Is John Stewart the Most Trusted Man in America?”. While some may say that a comedian hosting a fake news show on basic cable can’t possibly be that influential, The Times backed it up with [...]

Lebron Upes the Ante

By Trevor Timm | 1 Comment

Awesome, ballsy–not to mention extremely interesting–statement from Lebron James: that he would consider playing in Europe for $50 million a year or more. With Josh Childress and Carlos Arroyo jumping across the Atlantic for more money, this statement by James could blow open the NBA, European, and World market. At the very least, he has [...]

Francona is blowing it for the Sox

By Trevor Timm | 1 Comment

Can someone tell me why Terry Francona continues to pitch Curt Schilling like he’s 25 years old? I mean this guy is forty-fucking-two and Francona just lets him pitch into the 7th and 8th innings every time he has a lead. I mean, as much as I dislike Schilling as a human being, it’s obvious [...]
