Five Reasons To Hate Tom Hicks

Everybody hates Alex Rodriguez. When you read about A-Rod's huge contract with so little results, you ask "What idiot would write that check?" Well, that idiot was Tom Hicks, who's even admitted that was a dumb move. But if you think you can give a mulligan, you'd have to look into the full history of a man hated in at least four cities and on three continents. More after the jump...

The Don Cherry Tweet-Tale Of The Day

Don Cherry is a legend. A legendary NHL coach and longtime analyst on Hockey Night In Canada, "Grapes" has always set the standard. So why are we surprised that when Don took on Twitter last year, he wasn't going to do it the same way everyone else did? First off, he's admitted he rarely does it himself: he sends his take into a staffer at the CBC who tweets it for him (which is awesome to think he's got a tweeter on call). Second, he doesn't give a shit about your 140 character limit: when Grapes speaks, he takes as long as he needs to. And third, he doesn't limit himself to hockey (which he sometimes doesn't do on "Coach's Corner"). He's touched on subjects from baseball and foreign aid to today's subject: the sad fate of his goldfish, reminding us that on the inside he's just a big softy.

Don't ever change, Don. Don't ever change.
