I got on a roll with the other stuff that sucks this week. So, I’ll keep this short and to the point. Get the call right. Don’t put rules in place that prohibit you from getting the call right. The technology exists. Use it. All the time. If both of a ball carriers arms and [...]

GOML: NCAA Enforcement
I feel like I’ve complained about how shitty the NCAA is before (apparently I haven’t hit on how much I hate the punishment of scholarship reductions, so let me say it now: it’s bullshit that an organization that is supposedly there to protect student athletes is taking away their opportunity [yes, players can get offers [...]
Crystal Ball Gazing: What NCAA Conferences Will Look Like in 2016
You know what is almost as fun as being angry? Speculating wildly. The B1G is expanding east with the additions of Maryland and Rutgers (can we now name the divisions “East” and “West” and get rid of that ridiculous logo?). This won’t be the end of conference realignment, and somebody has to put the [...]
GOML: The Game Was Lost by the Penn State football team. My Trust Was Lost by the Officials
When I originally agreed to make GOML a weekly segment, I imagined it would be easy. Everything pisses me off, so finding something to write about once a week shouldn’t be a problem. After a couple weeks, I realized that might not actually be the case. Last week’s article seemed really forced, as I really [...]
GOML: Pennsylvania Politics
My goodness does Pennsylvania suck. I’ve intentionally avoided talking about the Sandusky scandal because I’ve found that everybody already has their mind made up and no matter what side they are on, they annoy me. So I’m not looking to discuss guilt (except for Sandusky’s, he can rot in hell) or conspiracy theories or anything [...]
GOML: Kyle Stark Sucks
Kyle Stark’s awesome player development strategies are in the news again. Apparently round one of public ridicule was not enough to change this Hell’s Angel’s ways. When I read his leaked email, I imagined that Stark was one of the nerds who pledged the rival frat in any college-based comedy (Animal House, Van Wilder, Accepted, [...]
Get Off My Lawn: Being a Fan of the 2012 Pirates Sucked
The Pirates second half sucked. Everything about it, the fact that they didn’t respond at all when Chapman plunked Cutch, the idea that the same team that relied on small ball to generate any offense in 2011 was suddenly unable to run the bases or lay down bunts in any capacity, the mind-bogglingly terrible management [...]
Lockouts Suck. Blame the Owners.
Well, it’s September, so it’s about the time of year for me to start getting excited about hockey season. Except it’s also the Bettman era and the CBA expired, so inevitably there is yet another lockout. I hate Gary Bettman. I don’t care if he only is a pawn of the owners. I hate them [...]
What We Really Missed: Everything Sucks
While Dan Massaro caught you up on his job status, video game prowess, and dad’s facial hair, I’d love to take this opportunity to tell you what actually happened in the sports world over the last two months: everything sucked. The Olympics NBC didn’t play events live, but still managed to go past 12 every [...]
You Drafted Mark Appel, Now What?
I know Blundo said he didn’t want this to be a homer blog the last two times he wrote about the Bucs, and here I am writing about the Bucs. However, while I will be discussing the Pirates drafting of Mark Appel (I believe they made the right decision), this article is more to point [...]
