When Sports Remembered How to Laugh...
Old Guy Sports Funnies: When Sports Remembered How to Laugh There was a time when sports didn’t always wear a suit and tie. Before every debate became a courtroom argument, before every player had a brand, and before every moment was immediately ranked, clipped, and monetized, sports were allowed to be funny. Not “commercial funny.” Not “viral funny.” Just plain, accidental, belly-laugh funny. And some of the best reminders of that didn’t even come from real games. They came
