Sue me? Sue you. Sue everybody! -Jerky Boys
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Holy schnikes this is good. First of all I suggest you read the whole artice as posted on Deadspin today. But, if you don’t feel like doing so, feel free to follow me after the jump as I capture some of the highlights. It appears Mr. Salisbury is none to happy with our friends over at Deadspin. It appears he feels like Shylock. He feels,”The pound of flesh which I demand of him is deerely bought, ’tis mine, and I will have it.” Read More »

Love is a burning thing, and it makes a fiery ring. Bound by wild desire, I fell into a ring of fire. -Johnny Cash
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Maybe it’s because we share the same first name. Maybe it’s because my beloved Red Sox never really have to face him. Maybe, baby, I’ll have you. Maybe, baby, you’ll be true. Maybe, baby, I’ll have you for me. Or maybe, just maybe, it’s because he is the best doggonnest pitcher nobody’s talking about. Last night, Josh Johnson struck out 10 batters in only five innings pitched for the Marlins. Yikes! Yes he gave up four runs to the Phillies, but those 10 strikeouts make him only the second pitcher in Marlins history to strike out 10-or-more batters in no more than five innings pitched. Only the imitable John Burkett did before. Josh Johnson is better than John Burkett. Right now, he’s better than just about everybody.

United we stand, all in all, we’re gonna win. Check it out, yeah y’all, here we go again. Turn it up, bring the noise! I said turn it up! Bring the noise! -Public Enemy
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! It it me, or are things not so peachy keen over there in Yankeesland? Not so crisp and clean over there in Yankeesland. Things aren’t as they seem over there in Yankeesland. First Joba, now this. Last night, the Angels defeated the Yankees, hanging a loss on little Andy Pettitte. Know this sports fans, Pettitte is now 0-4 with a 7.91 ERA in six starts against the Angels over the last two seasons, and the Angels have averaged nearly two baserunners per inning against him. Doesn’t that get you all warm and fuzzy for the playoffs? Read More »

Pass me the gat, and just like that, I squeeze like a man possessed from the old West. -Brand Nubian
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! No sports fans, the picture above has absolutely nothing to do with the story below. I just liked it. Hey, it’s my damn blog. Now to our breaking story. I mean yesterday’s breaking story that I just saw today. From WHEC News: Read More »

Do that to me one more time. Once is never enough with a man like you. Do that to me one more time. I can never get enough of a man like you. -Captain &Tennille
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! I gotta tell ya, I always like Theo Fleury. I liked him on the old Sega Genesis where he was like a 99. I liked him as a rookie when he filled it up for 11 points in the playoffs, helping the Calgary Flames to their first Stanley Cup championship in franchise history. I liked him when he set set a league record by scoring three shorthanded goals in one game against the St. Louis Blues. I even liked him when was fined $1,000 for making an obcene gesture at toward fans of the New York Islanders who had been taunting him over his off-the-ice problems. I still like him. Read More »

Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son. -Dean Wormer
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! They say admitting you have a problem is half the battle. Elliot Ness says, “The surprise is half the battle. Many things are half the battle, losing is half the battle.” Take it easy G-Man, that’s what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about losing. Losing weight. Some folks wouldn’t go so far as to call the brother fat, I mean he got a weight problem. What’s the nigger gonna do? He’s Samoan. Pablo Sandoval ain’t Samoan. He’s Venezuelan. And he is fat. TheSan Francisco Giants are concerned the Kung-Fu Panda will break down unless he learns to eat properly and stay trimmer. Sandoval will report to the Giants’ minor-league complex in Arizona for three weeks of fitness and nutritional training designed to teach him how to keep his weight down. Maybe Prince Fielder’svegan diet might work. Nah.

Everybody was kung-fu fighting. Those cats were fast as lightning. In fact it was a little bit frightning, but they fought with expert timing. -Carl Douglas
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! Remember Herschel Walker? Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker? The only NFL player to have amassed 10,000+ yards from scrimmage and 5,000+ return yards Herschel Walker? Ya. That Herschel Walker. Well sports fans, like Marcus Jones, Matt Mitrione, Brendan Schaub and Wes Shivers before him, he’s back. Back in the back of a Cadillac. Number one with a bullet, he’s a power pack. Power packing in MMA. Power packing in Strikeforce. That’s right, Walker has signed a multifight contract with Strikeforce, an MMA organization that is trying to challenge the Ultimate Fighting Championship. I always loved me some Herschel. Especially when he was rumblin’, bumblin’ and stumblin’ at Georgia. Let’s just hope he doesn’t go and get himself killed.
