Vince Wilfork: Pay That Man His Money
At the end of Rounders, Teddy KGB gets cleaned out and his pitbull loan shark associate Grama is about to rip Mike McD’s face off. In a split second, Teddy goes from being furious at Mike for completely outwitting him to stopping Grama – “He beat me… Straight up… Pay him… Pay that man his [...]
Can We Please Stop Whining About Overtime In The NFL?
During my usual survey of Kerzblogistan this evening, I came across an impassioned plea from Geoff Decker at The Big Lead for the NFL to please do something about their overtime rule.

Or perhaps a gigantic Pick Me Up bouquet. Maybe group therapy on a civic level.
Each year, some website or other slaps together a list of “tortured sports cities” in a vague effort to fill space during a slow time of the year. And each year, it seems that either Cleveland or Buffalo comes up as [...]
