On the heels of ESPN’s Curt Schilling opining that Hillary Clinton “should be buried under a jail somewhere,” the other conservative at ESPN (there are about two, maybe one more), famed Bears coach and Hall of Famer Mike Ditka has decided to weigh-in as well.

If ESPN is interested in awarding the Arthur Ashe Courage Award to someone who has displayed actual…you know…courage, they might want to consider looking in their own backyard.

Curt Schilling will not be muzzled. While speaking on the The Drive, with Danny Parkins and Carrington Harrison on Sports Radio 610 in Kansas City, the MLB analyst and outspoken conservative answered a few questions on politics after talking some baseball.

Erin Andrews, formerly of ESPN and currently of Fox Sports, took the stand on Monday as part of the civil trial she’s pursuing against the Nashville hotel where a man videotaped her undressing through her hotel room peephole.

To the poor, naïve football fans among you who thought the Denver Broncos replaced Tim Tebow with Peyton Manning simply because Manning is a better quarterback...you are wrong. At least according to FS1’s Colin Cowherd.

“It takes one to know one…” as they say. Which made it especially humorous on Tuesday’s edition of The Herd with Colin Cowherd when Cowherd, who is an avowed lefty, sounded off on the torrent of criticism Cam Newton encountered for his behavior after the Super Bowl.

So, if you bet good money on the Flintstones being used this weekend in an incredibly lame political analogy involving gays and the NFL…I salute you. For that exact thing happened on the Saturday edition of the “Melissa Harris-Perry Show,” when The Nation’s Dave Zirin discussed the suspension handed down to New York Giants wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who received unsportsmanlike conduct…

So when you’re arguably the greatest football player who ever lived, you get to pretty much say what you want and people will at least listen. Which is awesome because the great former player in question, Jim Brown, happened to say some really great things on the radio.

Just like the old saying goes: “If you can’t beat em,’ then take lame, snarky shots at them on Twitter.”

The left’s war against inanimate objects continues unabated. Except this time it appears as though they’ve enlisted a major sports league in the cause.

So what exactly is Deadspin? Here’s how they describe themselves on Twitter: “Sports News without Access, Favor, or Discretion.” Okay, cool. This jives nicely with how I always viewed them. But then I saw this story that Deadspin ran on Monday.

Apparently the Doug Gottlieb Constitutional Law/Anti-2nd Amendment forum has now closed. As we wrote last night, CBS Sports’ Doug Gottlieb launched into one of the more bizarre and insanely dumb twitter rants you’re ever going to see.

Something weird happens when lefty sports talk show hosts have more than enough sports to talk about. For some reason they decide to shun their veritable cornucopia of meaty sports topics, and instead dive into constitutional law.

Bob Costas thinks that football has a bigger problem than any supposed “war on football,” or any behavior/disciplinary issues off the field. He thinks the problem is the game itself.
