“My injury had nothing to do with a hernia and everything to do with, as team physicians classified it, ‘eating f#$kloads of ham.’” “I coveted my neighbor’s wife.

Jon Lester is the latest in the line of those speaking up about the Red Sox collapse. And like everyone else, he ends up looking like a total jerk-off. Things we learned about Mr. Lester… He prefers Popeye’s Chicken over KFC: “We probably ordered chicken from Popeye’s like once a month.” Excellent update. And, he [...]
