The Jets Are Single and Hoping to Mingle

The Wall Street Journal has a great piece on how 11 players on the Jets are using Tinder and how the matchmaking app has become something to bond over in training camp. My favorite part is when cornerback Kyle Wilson said that he joined Tinder to meet women he wouldn't encounter otherwise and that football groupies don't appeal to him. "You don't want anything too easy," he said. You know, because swiping to the right and left is such hard work.

Attention Cleveland: You Have a Baseball Team

While Cleveland fans anxiously await the Johnny Manziel Era and LeBron James' second stint with the Cavs, I wanted to remind them that they still have a baseball team fighting for a wildcard spot. This message, of course, doesn't apply to the 1,000 or so fans who attended the first game of yesterday's doubleheader against the Diamondbacks.

Lovely Lady of the Day

I am a big fan of Greer Grammer, daughter of Kelsey and star of MTV's Awkward. I'm also into Spencer Grammer, but that's for another time (click here for full-size gallery).

Throwback Thursday (1986): Terry Funk Calls Out Sports Illustrated

I was watching an early 1986 Saturday Night's Main Event the other night when suddenly I heard Terry Funk rambling on about Sports Illustrated. Apparently, he was not pleased with our decision to put Hulk Hogan on the cover. It is tremendous and proved once again that the WWE Network is the greatest thing ever.
