This is a new semi-weekly column from Leitch. It has words, and pictures. It's called Ten Humans Of The Week. It might or might not work. But here it is. The most depressing thing I've read all week? This post by Anil Dash. Basically, he was traveling for a couple of weeks, away from the Web, TV, wh...

This is a new semi-weekly column from Leitch. It has words, and pictures. It's called Ten Humans Of The Week. It might or might not work. But here it is. In Stephen King's "On Writing" — the only real book about writing I've actually found helpful, which is probably why I'm more a typist than ...

This is a new semi-weekly column from Leitch. It has words, and pictures. It's called Ten Humans Of The Week. It might or might not work. But here it is. For the first time in my life, I'm heading to spring training this year. Twice, actually. I'm pretty much destined to be disappointed. This Friday...

Alex Rodriguez had what was essentially an impossible assignment during his long-awaited pile-on press conference in Tampa this afternoon. The media, frustrated by what has been perceived as a soft, hand-holding interview with ESPN’s Peter Gammons, had a full week to parse all of A-Rod’s...

Warner plots his future resurrection. On November 14, 2004, the general consensus was that the Arizona Cardinals had ended Kurt Warner's career as a starting NFL quarterback. Warner was playing for the Giants then, and the Cardinals sacked him six times en route to a 17–14 victory at the old S...

It seems my beloved teams are making a habit out of this Ridiculous Postseason Run business. In retrospect, it was the only way it could have gone down. On the "SportsCenter" the night of the Buzzsaw That Is The Arizona Cardinals' NFC Championship victory — and that's a phrase that will never ...

So, the game is only four days away. It seems it's time to start getting a bit more serious about this. The key question this week, or with any conference championship game, or NLCS, or Elite Eight, or Conference Finals, or whatever, is: What would this win mean?
