| The Jester's Quart: A Brief History of BaseBrawls |
There have only been two truly memorable, brutal, violent, why-aren`t-these-guys-locked-up baseball fights.
The first was named one of the top five most unusual moments in baseball history by The Sporting News: Juan Marichal going all Captain Caveman-like on John Roseboro in 1965....

| The (sports) Gospel According to Mark: Williams retires to tin shack |
|
Everyone who played sports as a child remembers the one kid who would always quit in the middle of a game to go inside and play Magic the Gathering. The teams would be messed up and the game would be over. No amount of coercion could get the kid back on the playing field where he belonged. He would...

| The Jester’s Quart: The Special People Club |
Remember back in high school, when every senior class had to come up with their “theme” for the year? You know, like “Goodbye Yellow Brick Road” or “3-2-1, Liftoff!” or some other lame-ass slogan cooked by those popularity contest winners on the student council?
Well, allow me to...

| The (sports) Gospel According to Mark: McCool McRules |
|
In 1980 the Miracle on Ice captured America’s heart. It was a rough time for the U.S. during those Olympics, but the hockey fever that swept the nation was able to give the hopeless hope, to give the unpatriotic a reason to buy a flag, and was able to bring a nation together. African-Americans,...

| The Jester’s Quart: Gold Medal Mess |
I really don’t know another way to put this, so I’ll just say it:
Isn’t there anyone else concerned that American athletes, participating in the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad, could be coming home in body bags?
We’re less than a month away from the Summer Olympics in...

| Triple Crown Threats?: Manny and Vlad slam toward history |
|
Not since Boston`s Impossible Dream season in 1967 has a hitter corralled baseball`s elusive Triple Crown. That year, Sox left fielder Carl Yastrzemski led the AL in the major hitting categories with a .326 average, 44 HR and 121 RBI in becoming just the 12th player to win the honor. This season...

| The (sports) Gospel According to Mark: Being honest doesn't Matta to Thad |

Everybody makes mistakes. David Stern is the sole reason the WNBA exists. Jennifer Lopez thought she could maintain a relationship. Marcus Vick and Willie Williams are two football players to whom making mistakes is a hobby. Cameron Diaz made some questionable films early in her career (although...

| The Jester’s Quart: Pity of the Yankees |
Eighty-percent of New York Yankees fans have either jumped on the bandwagon within the last decade or root for the team because they want to have sex with Derek Jeter.
I saw both virtues embodied in the same “fan” last weekend at Shea Stadium, where the Yankees were visiting the...

| The (sports) Gospel According to Mark: Women Flocking to NASCAR? |
|
Some women have never been great at making decisions. While this is common knowledge for most men, I had never seen it as clearly as I did last Monday. I had been tricked into going shopping with my girlfriend and picked up a copy of USA Today to help pass the eternity. In this post 9/11 era we...

| The (sports) Gospel According to Mark: The Queen of the Ring |

Michael Jackson can put on a Spiderman mask and talk to a government official, but that doesn’t make him the infamous web-slinging superhero, it just means he is a child abusing sicko with a mask on. Shaq can put a microphone in front of his mouth and speak in tongues, but that doesn’t make him a...

| The Jester’s Quart: The Naked Truth About Women’s Hoops |
When is a woman posing topless not a woman posing topless?
When she’s doing it for art, of course.
That’s why thousands of men who can’t even draw a stick figure on a bar napkin sign up for painting classes every semester: To see women who won’t doff their tops at a...
