Here’s a sketch from the new season of Funny or Die Presents, which is returning to HBO on Friday the 14th. In it, we get Rob Heubel and former NFL star Warren Sapp looking around a warehouse for a dead body. And yes, it is as ridiculous as you’d expect:

Oh the grass is green ad the bases white and the players pitch and hit. But more than that, alas, alack, they only prefer to spit, to spit. They only prefer to spit. -Gilbert & Sullivan
Public Service Announcement: Ok, here we go! This story has taken off. By now, you’ve all heard it. You’ve all heard during the American League Championship Series, Yankees fans spit on the families of the Texas players incuding Cliff Lee’s wife. But like any red blooded mercenary, Cliff Lee said, a guy spitting on his family would not deter him from signing with the Yankees.That’s the spirit! And in that spirit, let’s have a look-see at other incidents in sports spitting, shall we? Sure we shall. Read More »

You’ve done it now. You’ve gone and made a big mistake and I can’t allow, you to think you can just walk away. So turn around and face the piper, you’re gonna pay. -The Undertaker
Public Service Announcement: What has Jay Mariotti gotten himself into now? The man we all love to hate has got some ‘splainin’ to do, Lucy. According to the LA Times, ESPN personality and sports columnist Jay Mariotti was arrested overnight by Los Angeles police officers. Word on the street says it is a case of domestic disturbance charge involving his girlfriend. Word on the street says some type of physical altercation allegedly occurred. Word on the street says Mariotti pushed and shoved the woman. Word on the street says Mariotti grabbed the girl’s arm and left marks. Yup, like Jay-Z always says, “The, streets is talkin, niggaz is gossipin. Bitches all in your shit, what’s the cause of it?” Apparently, the cause is that Jay believed his girlfriend had been flirting with another man. Can you blame her? I know some guys who don’t blame her. In fact, I know some guys who are probably taking relish to this. Roger Ebert is taking relish to this. Chad Ochocinco is taking relish to this. Ozzie Guillen is taking relish to this. Hawk Harrelson is taking relish to this. The chickens have come home to roost. Get your popcorn ready!

Chipper Jones And Other Career Ending Injuries
Of our elaborate plans, the end. Of everything that stands, the end. No safety or surprise, the end. I’ll never look into your eyes…again. -The Doors
Public Service Announcement: On Tuesday night, as he turned to throw across his body after fielding a ground ball up the third base line by the Astros’ Hunter Pence, Chipper Jones injured his knee. He tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee and is facing season-ending surgery. Perhaps even career ending surgery. Behind Hank Aaron, Chipper is the best player the Atlanta Braves have ever had. Behind Mike Schmidt, Chipper is the best hitting third baseman baseball has ever seen. His loss is a loss to us all. Chipper Jones wanted to go out on his terms. He’s not the only one. In light of this revoltin’ development, lets have a look at some other career ending injuries. Shall we? Sure we shall: Read More »
