I think the word "hilarious" is being thrown around a bit cavalierly here.

The story about Dock Ellis pitching a no-hitter on LSD has to be one of the Top 3 greatest feats in sports history. That-is-insane.

Professional athletes lack intelligence, taste, and discretion. What a shock.

This "gross generalization" is rather obvious. I'm angry that I'd even have to point it out.

Packing to a disco is rather thuggish in the least. This ain't as stupid as it is criminal Burris is not "representing" well for anyone he's connected with. I think he should go to jail.

Pete Rose lied up until the day he was promised a deal to admit his fault and then he squealed like a pig. He should never be allowed into the hall of fame. It's not just about being a good athlete; it's about that other boy scout stuff that Pete never had a clue about.

Less about sports, more about injustice and murder.

It was so nice to not hear his name mentioned at the Heisman this evening.
