Gammons is the worst because he's the subtlest. Every Red Sox move is genious, all of their prospects are on their way to being a combination of Willy Mays and Bob Gibson, and the Yankees have no answer for that. Did you watch his coverage of Theo's resignation/resigning? The Beckett trade shows that the FO is prepared to move forward because Theo didn't want to part with Hanley Ramirez (now we see why), no wait, the Beckett trade shows that Theo was on board all along. Gammons uses more spin than the White House. I gotta disagree with this. Gammons is the worst because he’s the subtlest.

Each night for sports we get what the colleges are doing for football, we get a healthy dose of what the high school football teams are doing, then we get the Braves score. sheeeeesh...high school?? come on! Peter Gammons unbiased? since when? I’m in Charlotte, NC and you would think the only team in MLB are the Atlanta Braves.

Virginians root for the Redskins. And the Hokies. And the Nationals too now. But mostly the Redskins. As a Virginian (NJ transplant), I’ll sign up for that.

But mostly the Redskins.

The Yankees can have a 10 game lead over the Sox right now and the poll results will still be the same if the same question was asked. Everyone hates the Yankees and its shown on sites like ESPN.com (with all their biased writers), shows like Baseball Tonight (Philips & Kruk), etc. The only the people worth listening to/reading over at ESPN is Tim Kurkjian and Peter Gammons. Gammons is a Sox fan, but he's as unbiased as they come. Eh, why go to ESPN.com for anything?

I picked it up in the library one day, and it was back on the shelf within literal minutes. Or how about his serialized novel, "24 College Ave," in which he creates a scene of what he would liked to have done in college had he not been sitting at home and jackin' it all day. To call it a novel is an insult to literature. Yeah, not much love for Caple here. Ever try to read “The Devil Wears Pinstripes”?

I'm glad somebody is finally calling out RSN for the buncha pricks they are. And he didn't even have to mention the word "bandwagon." I can't count how many times I've tried to be civil to some puke with a 'B' on his head, only to have it thrown back in my face. Case in point: New Year's Eve 2005, DuPont Circle, DC. I'm fairly tanked walking home, proudly wearing my interlocking NY cap, past a group of guys who've also been sampling the goods, and I wish them a friendly Happy New Year. The verbatim response, accompanied with a smirk, a sneer, and some indiscriminate cussing and lewd gestures? "Sorry, we're Red Sox fans." Seriously guys? On New Year's??
