...or at least restrict those who aren't paying them for the privilege. The Southeastern Conference announced new rules that would restrict media outlets in terms
I apologize in advance for the Major League Baseball digression, but what Albert Pujols is doing this year is outrageous and worthy of discussion. The Cardinals' slugger is batting 7-for-9 with 5 HRs and 24 RBIs with the bases loaded this season. That's good for an insane 2.67 RsBI per plate appearance at-bat. Huckleberry had seventeen Cray supercomputers crunch the numbers for a couple of months and eventually determined, via an
