Clayton Kershaw: Win some, save some. (Arturo Pardavila III)
Friday - October 14, 2016 Fri - 10/14/16
rantnrave:// You can add concussed football players to DONALD TRUMP's list of combatants who aren't "tough" enough for his taste. "Concussion, oh! Oh! Got a little ding on the head, no, no, you can't play for the rest of the season," he joked during a campaign speech Wednesday. He and his supporters, he said, "don't go by these new and very much softer NFL rules." They also, no doubt, engage in more colorful locker-room talk... Did that nine-inning game Thursday night really take four-and-a-half hours? Does anyone know how to bunt anymore? Is the concept of the closer in danger of extinction? Is BOB HENLEY the new BILL BUCKNER? Also: wow. Also also: Is A-ROD the RANDY MOSS of MLB—the last player you would have expected to be a great TV commentator and yet there he is?... Do you know which of the four remaining MLB playoff teams is the best-smelling?... Move over, CONNOR MCDAVID. There's a new rookie sensation in the NHL... Potential NFL game of the week, and it doesn't have anything to do with actual football... DANNY MACASKILL, cycling magician... The DUSTY BAKER–JOHN LEE HOOKER mutual admiration society.... Baseball superstitions, ranked... RIP DYLAN RIEDER and FULTON WALKER.
