stuart scott irl posted:Damon Bruce is a sports talk bro who went on an awful tirade about how womens' involvement in sports is ruining everything. Rob Neyer wrote a bunch of tweets defending him, because he like, had met the guy before, and now wrote a big hilariously awful column about it: http://www.baseballnation.com/hot-corner/2013/11/11/5089986/damon-bruce-knbr-san-francisco-radio-sports-host-women The best part is a female is an integral part of the KNBR morning staff, where Damon Bruce works (granted he's usually on 1050 and she's usually on 680). Also she's all kinds of kick rear end and I would be 100% up for them firing Bruce and putting Kate Scott in his slot. http://www.sfgate.com/lgbt/article/Kate-Scott-broadens-horizons-of-sports-radio-4623655.php

Has anyone heard anything about Mike Tyson's new book that came out Tuesday? I'm going to get it on my Kindle tomorrow. Although I'm wondering if it's going to be on CD. And I'm further wondering if he would be reading it. Because that would be amazing.

Tyson was a talking head for the 30 for 30 about the 2 Leonard-Duran fights and he actually said some interesting poo poo and was one of the few who defended Duran.

I went to the Grinnell basketball game tonight (they have been in the news since one of their players scored over 100 points last weekend) and at halftime a couple of guys with heavy duty cameras sat out on the floor in front of me. Next to them was a guy who sure looked a lot like Rick Reilly. I figured I had to try to talk to him, and it resulted in this conversation: : Hey, are you Rick Reilly? : Yes. Hey, did that last free throw bounce up and hit that pipe? (he seemed entertained by that event): Uh, yeah, I think so. Hey, have you ever read any #HotSportsTakes articles on Grantland?: I don't think so. What was it? Hot sports... ?: Hot Sports Takes.: Nope.: You should check them out, they're really good!He honestly seemed to have no idea what I was talking about, so I can only hope that I directly cause Rick Reilly to read a #HotSportsTakes article... Also, my girlfriend asked who he was after I talked to him and noted that he looked like a huge douchebag.

On one hand because of twitter people now know who Darren Rovell is, on the other they now all also want him to have a piano dropped on his head.

Canseco's account has been run by a marketing firm since like 2011 and the Iron Sheik is most definitely not him actually writing it (not that it really matters for either of them)

I was under the impression that Iron Sheik had his agent running the account, and the agent just tweeted whatever drunken ramblings Iron Sheik had. Given that Iron Sheik is now a sad, broken down old man possibly suffering from CTE, the Twitter account isn't as funny anymore.
