Stephen Strasburg on the Washington Nationals is supposedly going to be "shut down" for the season after reaching an innings limit. Why wouldn't managers just pitch him every 6th or 7th game so he's still in peak mental and physical shape for the playoffs?

There are no undefeated Major League teams after 5 games. Best I could tell from 30 seconds of research was that 3 teams went 4-0 before losing: the NY Mets, Detroit, and Arizona.

The "Golf Boys" video jinx is over now that Bubba Watson has won the Master's Golf Tournament.

If you’re interested in fantasy sports, or at least the opportunity to win money with very little work, then here are three opportunities for you.

What do commentators mean when they say a football player has class? That he respects his football opponents? Or that he keeps his extra-marital affair private?

Should there be a distinction between class in the public and private realms? I don't think so. Some sports stars get described with class while others (with possibly more class) don't. And we still haven't even defined "class."

People have made this public-private distinction for selfish gains since times eternal, justifying hypocritical or evil behavior. But now they seem to have a good way to explain it away. Even if you're a total jerk at home, as long as you behave in public, you can be a "real class guy."

Who is going to win the Broncos-Patriots football game on Sunday, December 18th? Tebow and Denver has worked a lot of magic recently, but have required plenty of mistakes from the opposition to do so. I suspect even with New England's horrible track record against Denver that NE and Brady will win by 10+ points.

Rules for how NFL referees decide which way an instant replay call will go: 1) interview 10 people of reasonable intelligence to get their reasonable opinion. 2) Go with the minority opinion. NFL replays are the biggest joke. College, too. They regularly get the call wrong. And this rule about maintaining possession while going to the ground is the stupidest interpretation ever of a catch. A catch is possession then two feet down. Hines Ward had possession, two feet, a third foot, then went to the ground, hit the ground, then the ball came out as the tackle continued. Incomplete pass? Officials, please read the rule book. I haven't, but I'm not getting paid to.

Never underestimate the officials' ability to ignore reality. Even after video replay the officials got this extra point wrong. Syracuse ended up winning their football game against Toledo as a result.

Here's what I'm wondering at the end of this baseball season:
1) Can the Dodgers' Matt Kemp actually win the batting triple crown?
2) Can Albert Pujols get to 100 RBI?
3) Can any of the wild card contenders in the AL pass the Red Sox?

The author who successfully predicted the Green Bay Packers would win the Super Bowl last year returns with this year's (successful?) predictions!
