Weirdly, yes. This anxiousness, this kind of enormous self-pressure chip-on-your-shoulder bullshit is endemic throughout sports. Believing that you’re constantly on the cusp of losing is the poisonous fear that drives these guys to success, year after year. Belichick is already rich enough for several lifetimes. If he was a normal person like you or me he would retreat to a cabin somewhere, breathe in the mountain air, give money to Republicans and fuck until his heart exploded. Instead, here he is, bringing that energy and that paranoia and that perverse need to succeed to his enormously tedious job day after day, season after season, Super Bowl after Super Bowl, always feeling like he is on the edge of disaster, scrambling to do everything he can to claim football victories he probably thinks he gets to take with him to the afterlife. … [Read more...] about Tom Brady and the New England Patriots’ Trump Mentality

Letters: If money wins, fans lose in baseball talks again
A big loss I always looked forward to waking up Sunday morning and reading the recap of Saturday’s college football games by Chris Dufresne. His spot-on analysis, combined with his puns, innuendos and sarcasm, were second to none. Once I emailed him in 2010 and asked if he ever foresaw a day when college football would have a fair and honest playoff system, and he responded “Sorry, my day-to-day coverage of wacky BCS supersedes any call by me to overthrow a perfectly-great-to-write-about, messed-up system!!!” … [Read more...] about Letters: If money wins, fans lose in baseball talks again
Hurley: NFL’s Terrible Rule For Blindside Block Appears To Be A Major Problem
