Welcome to the new site! We launched this a little early because we were sick of the spammers and trolls at the other site.
We also have a message board that we will be setting up at some point.
So enjoy.
Oh, and register… that way in ten years you can say you were a charter member.

Fox has hired A.J. Pierzynski to be a studio analyst for the ALCS. Expect a lot of headlines using the word “punch” and a lot of talk of the infamous strike three in last year’s ALCS. The big story, however, is that baseball’s greatest mullet will be shown sans ballcap and in crystal clear high def, just as the good lord intended.

Editor’s Note: Please don’t miss the video below. It’s one of my all time favorite Jay screw-ups.
Thanks to our reader, Brad, for pointing this out to me, and allowing me to make this little (safe for work) video.
Turns out Jay based Rex’s “swagger” off of compliments Rex had intended for the Seahawks.
Whoops!
In case you missed Jay's column today, let me sum it up for you: the Bears shouldn't assume thejavascript:nullo();
File Uploady are going to be in the Super Bowl. They still need to play hard. It's a long season.
Wow. I'm glad Jay was able to get this gem of a column out on a Thursday. If he had waited another day it might have seemed as if he was just rehashing what every member of the local media has been saying for the last five days. Now it only seems as if this has been a topic of conversation for four days.
If nothing else, this column almost certainly proves that Jay never played a competitive sport. Criticizing the team's post-win swagger, he wrote:
Take Grossman, who said this after the Seattle romp: ''Thirty-seven [to] six just shows what we're capable of, but we're a lot better than that.'' Mere days later, Rexstraint prevails.Ignoring the fact that a "Rexstraint" is surely something Mariotti would like to be tied up in, of course Rex was talking a big game on Sunday night! He had just survived three hours of having huge dudes trying to take his head off. Usually when that's over, someone is going to be talking a big game. Likewise, after a couple days, the rush will wear off and you'll have a better perspective. Christ, Jay. Think a little.
