Athletes react to Martin verdict

Fox really shows their hand there by calling it the Martin verdict, don't they.

Interesting, though. Some responses were measured and calm, urging people not to overreact; others were knee-jerk and irresponsible. Some were just an honest "wow," which I think sums up the reaction of the majority. Nothing really needed to be added.

Watch tonight's NL starting pitcher Matt Harvey interview New Yorkers about Matt Harvey.

The Maple Leafs were one of hockey's luckiest teams this past season.

Those are pretty...debatable...measures of luck. Shooting, save, powerplay and penalty kill are heavily coached areas of the game...as are dealing with close and overtime games.

I'm starting to wonder whether Tyrann Mathieu is doing some kind of long-form performance art project about the dichotomy of talent and attitude.

Nice fucking pitch Harvey.

Luckily Miguel Cabrera can hit, because he's a terrible 3rd baseman defensively...
