By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
The Mariners, owners of the worst record in baseball, have fired hitting coach Jeff Pentland. Rotoworld.com comments on it way better than we could. Rotoworld.com says of the move:
“The Mariners have the game’s worst record despite a top-10 payroll, and it’s obviously Pentland’s fault. He’ll know better next time not to overpay for […]

Multiple sources have told ESPN’s Stephen A. Smith that Terry Porter will be named head coach of the Phoenix Suns. This means that Smith is better informed than Shaq, who was interviewed at the Belmont Stakes earlier today and said he had no idea what the plan was.

By Micah Warren | 1 Comment
Tampa Bay Lightning head coach John Tortorella, who won a championship for the ungrateful team in 2004, won’t be asked back for next season.

Perry’s Mailbag: Coming Soon To A Friday Near You
By Perry | 1 Comment
I want to apologize for not getting Perry’s Mailbag up last Friday, especially to one of OTR’s dearest fans Lindsey. As most of you know, I was following the Asante Samuel story in Boston on Thursday night and continued my hot pursuit all day Friday until the early evening press conference around 5:00pm EST that […]
Flush That Turd Down The Toilet
By Perry | Leave a Comment
Sean Salisbury will not be calling John Clayton the ‘crypt keeper’ as an ESPN employee anymore. In what has been long overdue, ESPN has dumped Salisbury like the turd he is. In my opinion, he has never said anything relevant or intelligent. All he liked to do was pick fights with little John Clayton and […]

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
The Cleveland Indians have agreed to a one-year deal with third baseman Casey Blake. Blake hit .270 in 2007 with 18 bombs and 78 RBI. Not exactly incredible numbers, but he wasn’t a turd either. He made $3.75 million last year and will eligible for free agency after the 2008 season.
Al Davis Wants Lane Kiffin to Resign
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
This is hilarious. ESPN’s Chris Mortensen is reporting that Raiders owner Al Davis wants head coach Lane Kiffin to resign after just one year. Supposedly, Kiffin has essentially (or not so essentially) dared Davis to fire him. I love the fact that Davis has gone so far as to draft a letter […]
