...Johnathan Richard Buck.There was actually a sort of x-factor in Octavio Dotel, who was sent to Oakland from Houston, but then became a Yankee before becoming a Royal, then a Brave, and finally a White Stocking. Mike Wood's been out of baseball for two years. Beltran of course...

Just a quickie today, whilst I attempt to find something profound--or at least grammatically correct--to say for our next installment of the HoG 25. What's it about, you breathlessly ask? Shut the **** on up and skip ahead to the next sentence, slappy, you'll get it when it...

Coming into this World Series (that's the World Series of Baseball, not to be confused with the ongoing poker reruns), I felt that the Yankees had the better club and would win their 27th championship. Not much that happened last night changes my gut feeling, although a few things...

Surprised? You bet your sweet ass you are. These here are good durn times, boy. It's late October. It's raining in New York. Yankees fans can chug pureed sewage topped with rotten eggs, and the House of Georges says, "Let's talk World Series!"Things we know: Joe...

Every NFL team gets a week off during the season. If you're the 1-6 Chiefs this is a welcome respite. If you're their 6-0 division rivals from Denver, you'd rather keep playing while you're hot. As these two clubs take turns depriving their home fans of Sunday football...

Haven't really gathered my thoughts yet regarding the ass pounding the Chiefs took at home against the Chargers. Meantime, here's an interesting read regarding Head Coach Todd Haley's thoughts on the game, the distraction, an approach to the bye week. Also, Joe Posnanski...

Back in the good ol' days, when the AFC West was about Chiefs, Broncos, and little more, I kind of felt sorry for the San Diego Chargers. They managed to put together a couple of good teams and make a couple of runs at a title, but they never really seemed to have an intense fan...

Yo. How it be? I can't remember the last time we pulled out one of these features. I'm not even sure our archives are set up to go that far back. Like most of our series at one time or another, though, we're way overdue, and so we hope you enjoy this attempt to meld sports...

Well, we're one Yankee win away from a New York-Philly World Series. Thank God there's hockey on TV. Tiny bits of history, post-leap.* Today in 1950, the Los Angeles Rams and the Baltimore Colts gathered for a friendly game of professional football. The Colts just barely came...

There's been a theme with this feature we've dubbed The HoG25: arguing. We may hit on it a touch in each introductory paragraph, but it's necessitated. We've bickered over categories, how we'll select them, the selections we've made, how we'll rank the selections...

The Iron Triangle of the House of Georges likes to argue. A lot. We bicker over whether that last call was home cookin' or a feat of unbiased umpiring. We quarrel about whose turn it is to buy the next round of drinks. But most of all, we match wits on the topic of greatness: Tony...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: I'm no NFL Draft whiz; I don't know my college players all that well. I do recognize, however, the difference between taking a kicker in the fifth round, (especially when there's a better one already on the roster, and...

Baseball, hockey, and kinda-sorta boxing are all after the jump. Well, what're you waitin' for? An invitation?* Today in 1957, Maurice "Rocket" Richard became the first hockey player in National Hockey League history to score 500 goals. He retired three years later...

It has been a long, long time since I've written about my football team. I can make excuses--the job, the kid, the baseball season, the swine flu--and while any one of them is legitimate (except swine flu, it was actually genital warts), the fact is I thought that this team was...
