Society made the state of Pennsylvania pay for its brutal sports crimes. But they're still playing and they're going to get revenge... on the Northwestern Wildcats

gruden missed his opportunity to be the janky full motion video guy in a late 90s CDROM game who gives you a lowdown on the level and boss, saying like ok listen up hotshot, Skeleton Arena is where you'll find Johnny Skullcrusher and if he finds you you're NOT gonna like what happens to yer skull

RIP actor & Chicago native Ron Dean.

He interrogated Dr. Richard Kimble in THE FUGITIVE, he dropped Andy off at detention in THE BREAKFAST CLUB, he was shot by Harvey Dent in THE DARK KNIGHT, he was Marty Crane's poker buddy on FRASIER, and so much more.

I am not a professional sports broadcaster, but I am not sure if the the proper way to describe 37 year old guy getting shelled in a playoff game is to act like he is being taken to a vet to get put down

waiting for the edit of Kershaw runs set to the wrestling guy screaming AS GOD AS MY WITNESS HE IS BROKEN IN HALF like that deadspin edit of the Brazil-Germany world cup game

There is a certain way that Joe Buck says the words “and taking the mound for the Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw” joebuckishly that has become one of the most eerie sounds in baseball, a chilling declaration that is like the phone call whispering “seven days” to the people in The Ring who are normally going about their day until a nightgown ghost lady crawls from their television to tear them apart.

man i don't know if anyone in baseball has ever loved anything more than Dave Roberts leaving Kershaw out there to get annihilated in a playoff game

Bill Bellichick responds to criticism by announcing that he has named a new receivers coach: his heretofore unknown and most upsetting son Beavis Bellichick

figured out what sean penn's nasty rubber-faced Mouth Movements in one battle after another remind me of and it's a baseball manager deciding whether to challenge a play

playoff baseball is the only time you can feel like Arnold Schwarzenegger screaming at the Predator to kill him for 3+ hours

You would not think that Iowa’s football team, a notoriously staid institution where Brian’s father Kirk has been churning out the same defense, tight ends, and punts operation for decades as the longest-tenured coach in the Big Ten would be something I would write about. My interests tend towards the cutting edge. For example, in Jeeves Nation, I explored the world’s most innovative search engine poised to remake the entire concept of searching the World Wide Web. In Liar’s Pogs, I examined the burgeoning pog economy emerging in schoolyards that turned into a complex international financial system of its own. My own interest in sports came out in The Trestman Cometh, a story about a coach whose battle to bring revolutionary strategies from Canadian football to the NFL was derailed by the fact that he looked like a ventriloquists’ dummy from the cover of an R.L. Stine novel.

to be fair I have used the kirk ferentz eating an onion like an apple joke when I tried to write an excerpt of a Michael Lewis-style book about Brian Ferentz as a football revolutionary that came out right before the season where he was fired for incompetence

Going Iowanfinite: The Rise of a Football Revolutionary
