R.A. Dickey is not your prototypical All Star. First and foremost throwing a surprisingly fast knuckleball is not the most common pitcher on earth, but neither is having a dream season as one of the breakout stars in baseball at the age of 37. Dickey doesn’t get into the glamour of professional baseball, and is best known by Mets beat writers for always having a stack of books in his locker to satiate his voracious…
These have been some very dark days for the fans of the Baltimore Orioles. Since 1998 not only has the franchise not made the playoffs, but they also haven’t finished over .500. This streak of awful baseball has taken what used to be a great baseball town and turned it into a passive fan base. The good news is there might be some light at the end of tunnel and one of the reasons for…
While things may not have worked out perfectly in his time in New England, fans like us in the Northeast were lucky to find out just how cool Chad Ochocinco is, and his wedding day cemented the fact that he is the coolest player in the NFL.

Longoria told him, “No, Mark and I are, you know, fine.

Unfortunately for Mark Jackson, things got much, much worse… Approximately 6 years, Jackson was an announcer for the New Jersey Nets. During his time there, he met Alexis Adams.
