Hatin' On 'Em: To Be a Yankee Fan?
October 26th, 2009 · 4 Comments · Ground Possum
Recently, I have encountered a groundswell of vitriolic opinions concerning the NY Yankees. Now, as they sit on the door-step of their 27th championship, they are the primary target of many pundits who discount their accomplishments and call them any number of wicked, wicked names.
I seek to understand why. Oh, sure, I get [...]

Do yourself a favor and stay away from this page . Actually, maybe you should go so that you get what I’m about to write. The page is Rick Reilly’s “Go Fish,” a collection of supposedly “random mind dumps” from ESPN’s now-ubiquitous sports “reporter.” I’d say that “they got the ‘dumps’ part [...]

A careful parsing of the above definition must be necessary to bear this out–several TDGPers and I went to the Bengals/Washington game last year, and all the tickets may have been sold, but at [...]

Story time with George Brett
October 12th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Rawley
For those of you who have ever wondered what it is that managers/coaches say to players as they weave through the myriad athletes engaged in pre-game warm ups, George Brett has been kind enough to share with TDGP a sample. Thanks to Bryan for finding this. Take it away, George:

Going to Carolina in my Mind…
October 9th, 2009 · No Comments · Ground Possum
As a native of SC, this story makes me strangely very happy: http://sports.espn.go.com/golf/news/story?id=4545614. It seems like a very SC-type event. BTW, the town is pronounced (Byu-fert).
The clincher to the story: the ball the man retieved, on further inspection, was not his own. The positive, though: his partners offered him a free drop because of his misfortune. [...]
