Why isn't the U. of Alabama football team a NFL team?

Why is it that the Red Sox rehired John Farrell?

Well, for one thing some of them would have to take a pay cut.

I don't really know if this is true, I just thought it sounded funny.

Sean, your comment got a good laugh outta me! I doubt that many, if any, of the Alabama players enrolled in that university with the intention of getting a legitimate education.

I'll take the Detroit Lions for $500 Alex....

The answer is, I haven't a fu@(\ing clue...

How does one family get away with owning a professional football franchise for 54 years despite winning exactly 1 playoff game that entire time?

Why do the White Sox refuse to hire a manager with any kind of solid experience or a track record of winning? Robin Ventura, Terry Bevington, Rick Renteria (ugh, ex-Cubs manager for 1 year), Jerry Manuel, Gene Lamont, Jeff Torborg, Ozzie Guillen (got lucky with that one). What an absolute suckfest of shi**y managers since Tony LaRussa who never won anything until he left Chicago. I just don't get it.

Now that this contentious election is final over, I can't help but wonder why neither candidate, when discussing American greatness or lack of it, mentioned
the fantastic 2016 performance of our drug free American Olympic athletes, hauling away a record number of medals, totally eclipsing all other nations. On a lesser scale, how about our Ryder Cup team, winning the cup back on American soil? I am only sorry that Arnold Palmer, who died the week before, didn't have a chance to see the gripping finish. Arnold Palmer was a great man who never doubted America's greatness.

Why does the field goal kicker get credit form the where he kicks the ball and the punter gets credit from the line of scrimmage?

Why is a RIGHT handed batter pulling a ball to LEFT field and a LEFT handed hitter pulling the ball to RIGHT field?
