I’ll be the first to say it: I don’t care for Michael Vick and what he did. However, before you send the hate or I agree with you e-mails, please finish reading the blog. It may not be manly to say this, but I’m a passionate dog lover because they give unconditional love and humans don’t. You come home and who’s there to greet you at the door every single time without question? Not your friends, not even your spouse, it’s your dog!  Non-dog lovers don’t understand this, but I don’t fault them. No one loves animals like animal lovers. It’s ...

In the past few weeks since the controversial video of Erin Andrews that was obtained through illegal means, there has been plenty of rancor from both sides of the issue. On one side, the pervs that have been conditioned into thinking that it is okay to invade someone's privacy if enough people would agree. It is a reminder to me that privacy cannot be subjected to a vote.  Similar to that old abstract question on the dangers of mob-rule, "If a group of people voted to rape someone, would that make it okay?" On the other side, we have the colleagues and journalists of ...

I'm James Williamson. I've been a writer on B/R for almost a year, and B/R has changed my life dramatically. I no longer want to waste my days in boring law school, I want to be the new Dr. Z of Sports Illustrated. This site has been a great catapult for my self-confidence, my writing abilities, and my growth into a mature and respectable writer. Now, lets cut to the chase. I DON'T LIKE CHANGE!!!!! Now that I've vented, I just think that the way the articles were set up with pictures, with the POTD buttons, with the idea that you don't know ...

Erin Andrews once again finds herself in the news after reportedly calling 911 complaining about paparazzi. Andrews told Police that she believed two men had been camped outside her home for an extended period of time. Andrews, who has been everywhere in the news lately, is the beautiful female ESPN reported who was filmed nude, through a peep hole. While on the phone with the police, Andrews apparently said, "I did nothing wrong and I'm being treated like f------ Britney Spears and it sucks." This is another sad and embarrassing story for Andrews. I have to say, I continue to ...

I am often asked why I don't communicate with the dead. There are two reasons. First, I don't believe that the living-impaired are in a realistic position to conduct any form of interaction. Secondly, and if I am wrong about the first, I am frightened of what they might tell me. I just don't need to hear that being dead is really horrid, and that I'll find out first-hand next Tuesday when I have a heart attack at the wheel and my car hits a tree. There are some things it's better not to know, dammit, I have an appointment next Wednesday. So, instead of ...

The New York Mets were added to the National League as an expansion franchise in 1962. Their addition was a response to two different baseball issues, the exodus of the Giants and Dodgers from New York and the formation of a third baseball league, the Continental League. The National League—which in those days operated more independent from the MLB as a whole—decided to expand by two teams and offered ownership of a New York franchise to the Continental League’s ownership group. This group included Joan Payson and her husband Charles Shipman and also included William Shea George Herbert Walker Jr. (Uncle ...
