The Angels offseason free agent signings make about the same amount of money as the entire Oakland team and this hack has the nerve to claim the A’s had an unfair advantage? This guys isn’t big on...

I’d like to say something like “The OC Register is still around?”, but I know it is because I see a copy at work every day. But when you’ve got a paper whose words per page is dwarfed by the likes of...

If we’re actually attempting to rationally discuss some sort of WAR-PED-based sanctions, why not simply fine the Southern California teams the full amount of their monetary advantages? Or, we could...

How the hell is the NCAA the example he uses for punishment? The same NCAA that didn’t punish cam Newton when his father pimped him out for $200k to the highest bidder? The same NCAA that sat on...
