A juicing Big Mac: Mark McGwire’s steroid use leaves more questions than answers
January 13th, 2010 by Chris HumpherysI don’t like movies that are predictable. Like the typical romantic comedy where the couple who despises each other falls in love in the end or the true-crime thriller where we know the killer’s identity from scene one.

To err is human, to evolve divine: The argument for efficient replay in sports
October 26th, 2009 by Chris HumpherysSomeone once said the best officials are the ones we don’t know by name. That’s because one mistake, one glaring error, one moment of indecision can alter a game, a series or perhaps even a season. Officiating is a thankless profession. Read the rest of this entry »
