Our own Bernie Carbohydrate wrote this brilliant article and it needs to get as many eyes as possible. If you like it, and you will, please tweet it out, post it on Facebook etc.

When sports and pop culture meet on a website everybody wins. Movie reviews sharing the screen with game recaps, TV episode recaps snuggling up to MLB trade reviews, cats and dogs living together, outdated movie references illuminating athletic observations… it’s peas and carrots, Loggins and Messina, Koufax andDrysdale. 
It also lets grown men read and write about Taylor Swift.
Ever since Bob Dole became engorged at the sight of Britney Spears in 2002, it has been hard for the grizzled, old-enough-to-be-her-father-set to appropriately appreciate the parade of pop starlets that provide the soundtrack for midlife crises. Swift is ubiquitious, attractive and talented, but a creeper of a certain age can’t browse taylorswift.com at work without facing an eventual grilling from HR.

Taylor Swift is the perfect drug.  Great article.

BTW on a technical note and only if you are concerned, I thought I'd mention a formatting issue.  I'm running Mozilla and the pictures TT and when I zoom the browser (not an issue for the younguns who can read the tiny browser text; it only matters for those of us who have to enlarge websites to see them better), the captions underneath become cut off on the right side.

We had an issue with FireFox not adjusting the images to fit individual screen resolutions so we shrunk the images down manually. Unfortunately, the underlying issue of Mozilla not adjusting the page like Chrome does is still there and we are looking for solutions. Apologies for the inconvenience.

No worries.  Like I said, it's not an issue except for those of us who have old, tired eyes.
