I apologize in advance for the litany of "Pickett's charge" memes we may be exposed to going forward. This isn't to say PICKETT'S GAHNTA SUPERBOWL all UrinatingTree style. I honestly have no clue what to make of Kenneth Shane Pickett. He looked fine at times in 2022, after Tomlin wasn't feeling like Kissing

This is a placeholder till a real post can be created, maybe, or it may be the actual post. The mock draft yesterday was fantastic, led me down a lot of rabbit holes. But one of the things was a short discussion about Susana Hoffs, and low and behold I found

It is the Sunday morning before the start of NFL training camps. (Ed. note: Woooo!) Roger Goodell goes to the underground pool of NFL headquarters to work out some stuff. He carries a canvas tote bag with the NFL logo, takes a tablet out and places it on a stand,

Well, for anyone who watched, that was a bit of an eh game at least in the middle innings. The 8th and 9th were interesting though. For anyone who didn't, the NL beat the AL 3-2 in the All-Star Game in Seattle last night on the strength of an 8th

As you may have noticed, I have been lax in publishing new episodes of Balls Magazine. That's not to say that I haven't been playing golf. I have. I've just been really damn busy with a lot of work and real life stuff. To wit, here is the latest: I played

It's so nice when you are working with true professionals that are good at their job. The Franco bullet perfectly grazed the shoulder pad on his suit and landed square in the middle of the decorative pillow on the bed. The Sally bullet went through her hair in the gap between
