Curt Schilling Should Be In The Hall Of Fame
As of this morning, Ryan Thibodaux’s invaluable Hall of Fame election tracker has the results of 44 ballots up, representing about a tenth the total number of ballots expected to be cast by veteran baseball writers this year. It’s a skewed and self-selecting sample—writers who make their ballot public and do so early tend as a group to have opinions closer to those of the average Deadspin reader than those of the average Hall voter—but one thing is very clear: Curt Schilling won’t be voted into Cooperstown this year, and probably never will be.

Rogue One Is A Refreshing Dive Into The Muck Of The Star Wars Universe
A good proxy test for the tone of a Star Wars movie is the demeanor of the featured droids. R2-D2 and C-3PO carry out a cheerful buddy comedy in a movie that is about friendship and hope triumphing over evil. BB-8 is a version of R2-D2 that’s been multiplied by itself several times over until it’s nothing but a roly-poly kids toy, there to enhance the “Holy shit, I’m watching a Star Wars movie again!” high of Force Awakens. The soldier droids from the prequels were pointless and stupid, and, well, you get the idea.

Jared Goff Forced To Leave Game After Massive Hit From Richard Sherman
Rams QB Jared Goff’s lackluster night in Seattle ended early after Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman leveled him in the fourth quarter when Goff was breaking for the end zone. Goff hesitated for a moment before getting steamrolled by Sherman, and the hit was not ruled to be an illegal one. Cruelly, Goff’s run was wiped out due to a holding penalty.

Sage Northcutt Is Running Wild In Sacramento
It’s a dull, dreary day here in Northern California, as long-awaited rainstorms are replenishing the state’s meager water supplies and keeping citizens indoors sulking. That, however, is not nearly enough to dampen the spirits of the UFC’s premier Ken doll/golden retriever, Sage Northcutt, who is in Sacramento preparing for his fight with Mickey Gall on Saturday. Let’s see how our old friend is doing.

Kevin Garnett Playfully Roasting Craig Sager's Suits Will Never Not Be The Best
Craig Sager is most fondly remembered for his back-and-forth routine with Gregg Popovich, in which Sager would play the earnest sideline reporter and Popovich a sort of caricature of a surly coach who has no time for the manufactured pleasantries of a scheduled television interview. But for my money, Sager’s best foil was Kevin Garnett, who, over the years, would almost always end an interview with him by going in on whatever Willy Wonka-esque suit Sager happened to be wearing that night.
