Bud Selig cares not about baseball fans and I have proof
September 30th, 2011 by Chris Humpherys
I have a beef with the Commissioner.

An apology letter to Raheem Morris
November 4th, 2010 by Chris HumpherysI feel an apology is necessary.
I was pretty rough on the Rah last week. For those of you who don’t know, Raheem Morris is the second-year head coach of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Last season, his team went 3-13. This season, they’re 5-2. Surprising isn’t a strong enough word. Read the rest of this entry »
