A Bunch of Bad Players Have Invaded the Muskbag

This week’s Muskbag somehow manages to revisit Rich Hill. No one revisits Rich Hill. Rich Hill isn’t even going to have visitors at his house for Thanksgiving. But the Muskbag has all the Rich Hill coverage you could possibly want.


Bachelor Diaries: Does this Chili Smell Funny?

How long has this chili been in the fridge? I don’t remember the last time I had chili. Did J-Kerm say, “Don’t forget to throw out that chili” before she left? Or was that, “Don’t forget to wear your coat when it’s chilly”? Is that a green pepper in there?
Back in [...]


Bachelor Diaries: Syracuse? Really?

I’m already annoyed with the 3-3 Notre Dame-Syracuse game, so I might as well finish watching it at the gym. Which is a less-embarrassing hat to wear right now? Cubs baseball, or Notre Dame football?


Bachelor Diaries: Am I 100 Years Old?

November 22, 1:55 p.m.: It wasn’t so long ago that “going out” meant having a couple of drinks at the dorm, getting a cab at around 10:30 or 11:00, heading out the bars with a group until 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning, and then coming back to the dorm and watching Can’t Hardly [...]


The Bachelor Diaries: Reheated Nachos

November 21, 3:51 p.m.: Why did I think reheated nachos and beer were a reasonable choice for last night’s dinner? I feel like someone inflated a balloon in my colon. Less than 24 hours in, and there’s a good chance that I have done irreparable damage to my alimentary canal. I’m [...]


The Bachelor Diaries: Night One

November 20, 2008: Well, it’s finally happened. J-Kerm has abandoned me to spend Thanksgiving with her family out of state. I am left for the next nine days to my own foibles. Abandoned with my own thoughts. Anything can happen. Perhaps Daniel Stern and Joe Pesci will try to [...]


Four More Years of Whoopee Cushions and Joy Buzzers

It looks like the Cubs and Ryan Dempster have agreed to a four-year, $52-million deal. To recap the offseason so far:
Jake Peavy–Not Yet a Cub
Kerry Wood–Not a Cub
Ryan Dempster–A Cub


“Wood Will be SORELY Missed?” What a Puntastic Muskbag!

First, I should point out that the pioneers of the internet takedown, the writers at Fire Joe Morgan, are done blogging. Sad news for fans of funny. Kerry Wood will be missed, no doubt. But that’s not going to stop the other Carrie from reminding us one more time that Wood sometimes [...]


Muskbag: The Movie

You know, this week’s Muskbag doesn’t HAVE to be boring. It can have action, fun, and intrigue, if we really want it to. Hey, let’s make a movie out of it.
