An Open Letter From Billy Wagner

Seeing as how Super Bowl MVP Tom Brady just posted his thoughts about his season-ending injury, I thought it’d only be fair to let folks know how I’m coping with my own season-ending injury. But before I do, let me just say that I agree 1000% with what my boy Randy Moss said about that […]

FireJoeMaddon.com Is BACK, Baby!

Okay, we’ll admit it — things have not been easy around here at FJM. I mean, we were cruising along just fine for years, goofing on the Tampa DEVIL Rays and their idiot manager, Joe Maddon. We had links galore, we had a regular group of hilarious commenters, we even did up some sweet t-shirts […]

An Open Letter From Tom Brady

I would just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for their thoughts and prayers as I start down the long road towards surgery and recovery.  The outpouring of support from Patriots fans in New England and all over the world has been tremendous, and has seriously touched my heart in a lot of […]

Being Too Good is Never Good Enough

It should come as no surprised to those familiar with my public service record that I am in no way a fan of partisan politics.  I said as much during my speech at the 2008 Republican National Convention — it doesn’t matter that the letter “R” or the letter “D” follows your name.  What matters […]

Fillin’ the Ol’ Onion Bag

Oi out there! It’s me, Olly Wollstonecraft, innit? But I’m better known on our side of the pond as The Sports Geezer. You might have read my shite in the Runagate Rampant, or seen my beauty-filled visage on Sky TV 6’s “Best Fookin’ Sports Show of the Century.” Either way, doesn’t matter to me — […]

With Eckstein, It’s A Dunn Deal

While I’m proud to be a member of the Cincinnati Reds broadcast team, and even prouder to get the chance to broadcast games with my father, Hall of Fame broadcaster Marty Brennemann, I can’t help but think about the nine wonderful seasons I spent with my previous MLB employer.  I’m speaking, of course, about the […]

Kevin Garnett (Or: An NBA Championship Realized)

The following fragment is here published at the request of a poet of great and deserved celebrity [William Wesley], and, as far as the Author’s own opinions are concerned, rather as a psychological curiosity, than on the ground of any supposed poetic merits. In the fall of 2007, the Author, then in ill spirits due […]

Good Guys, First Place, Can Of Corn

Hawk here.  Don’t wanna say I told you so. But I said it.  Now, I might be a lotta things to a whole lotta people.  Some good.  Some great.  But one thing that Hawk Harrelson ain’t is a told-you-soer.  Hawk’s got class.  Like a university.  One of those Ivy League schools.  Brick buildings.  Hippie chicks.  […]
