Are You Ready for Some Futbol—Serie A Returns

Rose Rankin June 11, 2020 0

Let’s be honest—it feels a little ridiculous to be writing about sports right now. We’re in the midst of a long-overdue reckoning with this country’s toxic legacy of racism and police brutality; the economy is a mess and we all know someone, maybe ourselves, affected by un- or

Andy Jonathan April 10, 2020 0

We all pretty much figured that MLB was going to do whatever it could to try and salvage as much of this season as humanly possible, and understandably so. Major League Baseball is a billion dollar business, and those folks don’t like to sit idly by and let that money go up in smoke if […]

Let’s Just Call It “Smell Ya Later”

Sam Fels March 10, 2020 0

Funny, when you’ve been doing this 12 years, you think about the end a lot. And then it gets here, and you still don’t know what to say. So I guess it’s best just say it. Today is my last day captaining the good ship FFUD. The time has come for me to move on. […]

Adam Hess March 10, 2020 0

Continuing our trip trough the outfield, we now come to the most exciting White Sox prospect since, well, last year in the form of Luis Robert.

Tweedle Dee, Tweedle Dumb, Tweedle Dumbest

Sam Fels February 26, 2020 0

The Legacy of Kobe: Nuance and the Black Mamba

Tony Martin January 27, 2020 0

Kobe was a world class athlete, and a rapist. Kobe was one of the greatest basketball players on and off the court, and he was a rapist. Kobe learned foreign languages so he could speak to players on the court in their own languages, and he was also a rapist. Nuance is important, but it […]
