I know the plastic tarp is to avoid getting champagne all over the clubhouse, but if I didn’t know any better, the look on A-Rod’s face would have me believe the Yankees were gearing up for a celebratory feces orgy. Actually, I have a hard time believing Hideki Matsui wouldn’t be into that. I know that the Germans are into the feces fetish stuff, but the Japanese are down to do anything.

This video is from the October 4th Raiders-Texans game. Unfortunately, the entire scenario did not transpire on camera, but you get the idea. It was the worst attempt at running on the field in the history of people trying to run on the field. Or was it?
From the Youtube description…
i was later informed that, when the cop(s) asked the fan why in the world he would do something like going out onto the field, knowing he would get caught, he told the cop that he was so pissed about the Raiders and their play-calling that he was going to run over and “Punch [Oakland Raiders] Coach [Tom] Cable in the face.”
Ok, so now it all makes sense. This guy was going to sneak down the sideline and punch Tom Cable in the face! Why didn’t he just say so? I’m pretty sure they would have let him go.
We’re still a couple weeks away from MLB’s regular season awards being handed out, but since the regular season is over, we can make cases for which players deserve which awards. There have been some pretty egregious selections in the past, so it wouldn’t surprise me if certain players are shafted this year, too. Basically, if someone – let’s call him Jerek Deter – receives a lifetime achievement award in the form of an MVP trophy while someone else – called, say, Moe Jauer – receives no recognition for having an unprecedented season for a catcher, I’m going to firebomb the BBWAA. Keep reading for Unathletic’s picks for the MVP, Cy Young, and Rookie of the Year Awards in each league.
After seeking out a long term deal, David Lee “settled” for a one year $7 Million contract to play yet another season for the Knicks in which they will be bad, yes really bad again. I’m not sure if it was the economy or what, but how in the world did Anderson Varejao get a multi year deal worth $50 Million (granted it’s not as great as it seems) and Lee not even get a sniff from another team?
Does he smell bad or something? The guy was second in double doubles last season and works harder on the court than just about anyone in the league. I’m happy to have him as a Knicks fan but I’m guessing his patience is going to wear thin this season.
Which is why he should be gallavanting around Manahattan with these little basketball heads. Hell he should just fly girls in from Florida. I’m sure the guy was pulling some serious wool down there.
I feel for ya David. Actually I don’t. You’re making seven million dollars to play basketball. Up yours.
Buckeye running back, Daniel Herron, was injured on September 26th in a game against the Illini and apparently came back too soon when he rushed twice against the Badgers this past weekend.
“We probably got set back a week or two,” Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel said Tuesday.
For most teams this would be a bit of a heart breaker and understandably so. Good running-backs don’t fall out of thin air, ya know! (But it is a mildly humorous image, though). Instead of crying, the Buckeyes are reloading with sophomore Brandon Saine, who had been starting in place of Herron, and The Sweater Vest is hoping to throw freshman, Jaamal (yes, two a’s) into the mix eventually, but for now Jordan Hall will be the backup.
The Buckeyes face the Boilermakers this week, who are an embarrassing 1-5. Looking ahead, however, the Buckeyes will have a tough end to the schedule as they face #14 Penn State, #11 Iowa, and the always difficult (no matter what the record) Michigan in Ann Arbor. These games are back-to-back-to-back. Yikes.
While we obviously don’t know how they’ll finish the year off, we DO know two things. If they win out, people from the west and south will kick and scream, whilst comparing the Big Ten to a tee-ball league. If they lose at least one game, Jim Rome will run a segment about how the Buckeyes were blown out of the water (even if it was a close game) and then go back to his LA home, claiming he’s unbiased (at least I own my bias!).

First it was the whole Rick Pitino personal matter that ended up being more public than… well… anytime a politician sleeps with someone other than their wife, and now it’s two of the soon to be starting five of the Louisville basketball team.
Two projected starters for Louisville‘s basketball team were released from jail Sunday after being arrested the night before on misdemeanor charges of resisting law enforcement in southern Indiana.
I don’t get it. It seems like everywhere I turn I’m reading about some idiot college kid getting into trouble. Someone needs to smack each and everyone of them upside their fool heads. I feel like if I were blessed with athletic ability that was relevant beyond the high school (sometimes junior high) level, I would be smart about it.
Granted details of the arrest have yet to be released, but it doesn’t sound like the Cardinals are out of the woods yet. First the Pitno thing and now this… Next we’ll be hearing about The Cardinal Bird getting found, naked on the side of the road with nothing but an empty bottle of pills and a syringe.

I’m pretty sure that all that sugar has gone straight to Lamar Odom’s brain. Perhaps eating a pound of candy before every game in the finals did some serious damage to Odom’s perception of what a beautiful woman looks like.
Look, I’m sorry that I’m dogging Khloe here but let’s face it. The girl is riding her two hot sisters to success and she just bagged a star NBA player. Someone has to put a stop to this.
Either that or she gives the best head on the planet. But that can only last so long right? I mean they’re married. It’s just a matter of time before she gets fat and lays around the house. Though I don’t know, maybe Odom likes ‘em big.
Well I guess people that make dumb faces and eat loads of sugar like Lamar just don’t know any better.
It doesn’t take a brain surgeon to figure out that you don’t talk shit about the man who signs your paycheck – at least not to the press. Evidently though, it does takes someone with more intelligence than an NFL cornerback.
“We’ve got a lot of things we need to iron out, a lot of problems,” cornerback Carlos Rogers said. “It’s from personnel to coaches to whatever it is, there’s a lot of things we need to iron out, and until we address those issues and turn it around, we’re going to be the same, going up and down. It not only starts with the players, coaches; it starts with the ownership. They bring everybody in and they’ve got last say-so of everything, so that’s where it starts, I guess.”
Thanks Carlos. Now hit the bricks. Your job is to shutdown wide receivers. Let’s leaving bashing ownership to the fans and the media.
But in all honesty, he is right. The ‘skins organizations sucks from top to bottom, and it might be time to consider partnering with Hoover.
“The only thing that sucks more than our vacuum cleaners is the Washington Redskins organization!”
As for Hog Nation, they just need to accept the fact that their team is horrible, and going .500 for the year would be a huge accomplishment. Aside from that, just kick back and enjoy a few cold ones while you think about how you’ve only got 9 years left on your season ticket contract.
