when people say "verse" instead of "versus" I have trouble measuring my level of anger

The Atherstone Ball Game, a Shrove Tuesday tradition since 1199.

The rules: stay on the street and don’t kill anyone.

The ball is thrown at 3pm; whoever is holding it at 5pm wins.

Just want to join the chorus and note that @rjandersonwrites.com (soon to be a poor choice of handles) is the best. Literally everyone out here is praising him, which shows you a) how great he is, and b) how joining a baseball club is basically the same as dying

I’m using the past tense because Friday will also mark my final day as an active writer. I’ll always love and hold the craft dear, and I’ve been lucky to have this career. But it’s time for me to take on a new challenge. That’s why I’ve accepted a position in the Washington Nationals front office.

You're a great friend and I wish you well, even if you did just increase my workload by 33%.

I will miss working with this dude immensely. Great things ahead for him.

Bittersweet, happy for him for leaving, sad for myself and my teammates that we're losing him.

But hey, 2016 until now with the same foursome of writers is pretty insane in this business nowadays. We had a hell of a run.

Time for RJ to kill it elsewhere. And he will.

Catherine O'Hara was always amazing, but her Magnum Opus was Moira Rose

we aren't standing up for Trump. There are a ton of other words available to use.

My daughter has autism. She isn't evil or hateful like him.

you aren't crazy at all. Freddie is 36, too. Ohtani is really the only non-question mark for me

"...what's my risk here? That Jimmy Rollins and Mark Buehrle make the Hall of Fame? First off, they won't. Secondly, do you really, honestly, deep down think if something like that happened that it would be such a travesty?...What would the actual harm be? The answer is there isn't any. "

Dan Lanning on Indiana: "There's not a weakness in their game. They run the ball well. They stop the run well. They throw the ball well. They defend the pass well. They're great on special teams. So, you see a really complete team, a well-coached team."

Good company for Oregon tonight. rival Purdue and C-USA champ Kennesaw State also gave up 56 to Indiana. Next on the train is then-#9 Illinois who gave up 63 and then the Indiana State Sickomores who gave up 73
