MLB Note: No Phillies “Snitch,” After All?

I am happy to report that there was no snitch in the Philadelphia Phillies clubhouse. On Novebmer 3, Tim Wilson of Yahoo Sports reported a dust-up between Phillies pitchers Cole Hamels and Brett Myers. Wilson implied that someone informed him of the incident: Phillies pitchers Brett Myers and Cole Hamels had a short but tense confrontation in the team’s clubhouse following Game [read more...]

Whitlock’s Apology; Football Motivation, 21st Century-Style; Paying for Content Is Here

And so Jason Whitlock caved. Though he’ll never admit it – he certainly attempted to put on a brave face in his latest Fox Sports offering – he folded like pretty Christmas wrapping paper around a gift.

If I was one of those English Euro cats who was one of the old guard, powers that be, overseers, master of all he surveys, I would say something like this… “Tsk tsk, Jason Whitlock.
