If Aroldis Chapman had thrown that 105 mph fastball at his lady friend, he likely would have been arrested again.

If Aroldis Chapman's 105 MPH fastball was instead a bowling ball, it would be a bowling ball.

I love how when DGB did his first hockey piece for the Guardian, in true Teh Grauniad fashion half the comments were people complaining that he didn't call it "ice hockey" because to them field hockey is the one true hockey.

Yup: Jeb Lund, aka @Mobute, aka Boniface.

(He's still not the worst political writer on the Graun, because they employ Jessica Valenti.)

Jay Mariotti threw a poo poo fit because a local sports site called Bay Area Sports Guy kept scooping him (one of their writers was really plugged in to the Niners). He has a weird obsession with names being "right"
