CSN Mid-Atlantic Airs Anatomically Correct Deadspin Image of Chicago Cubs Mascot “Clark”
by Kent Sterling Clark’s first 48 hours of existence has been difficult. There has been almost no positive press for the new Chicago Cubs mascot, and now he has been shown nude from the waist down on Comcast Sports Net Mid-Atlantic. Check out the video roughly 13-seconds in. The image remains on screen for over […]
by Kent Sterling My Dad is irate. Somewhere in the middle of the great beyond, Clark Sterling is cursing the Chicago Cubs with the same zeal he showed for 70 years in life.

by Kent Sterling Here is what super-selfish super agent Scott Boras said to the media about the Chicago Cubs at the annual baseball general managers meeting that I found super annoying. “You’re (the Cubs) developing the infrastructure, but fans don’t come to see seats, grass, cement. They come to see players. They’ve done a great […]
by Kent Sterling Nothing lasts forever, so the Chicago Cubs likely being carried on another television station in Chicago is part of the evolution of life, business, and media.
