Only tabloid rags like the Post and, to a lesser extent, the Daily News would do something like this. It’s like children are running the New York Post – I’m pretty sure the day after the Haiti earthquake the front page featured one of Tiger’s many mistresses and a story about Lindsay Lohan spotted at a club. It’s pretty disgusting, but hey, that’s what people want to read.
Anyway, nice photoshop job by both of the papers, but this is the clearest case of journalistic premature ejaculation that I’ve ever seen.

Melo had the last laugh last night against Lebron’s Cavaliers. You might want to check out LBJ’s statline though. Great googilymoogily. Start the countdown until he’s a Knick!

I’m not sure how many of you have actually been following the Olympics. They haven’t been all that spectacular but I will see the women’s downhill was pretty awesome earlier this week.
There were a serious amount of wipeouts. And normally I wouldn’t be making fun of all of this but none of the women sustained serious injury so we’re allowed to make light of the situation.
You know, the “as long as they didn’t get hurt” rule. And Anja Paerson definitely takes the cake for the worst fall.
Thankfully, the announcers seem as shocked as I was. I was definitely not expecting that. Indeed, what happens next? There’s two people inside that thing now, right? The guy originally in the raptor suit could be molesting the absolute shit out of the swallowed cheerleader before thousands of people and they’d never have any idea whatsoever.
Can you remember the last time you were excited about a heavyweight boxing match? I can’t; the heavyweight division is dead and buried. The Klitschko brothers won’t fight each other, and everyone else sucks. We used to have Lewis, Bowe, Holyfield, and Tyson, but now it’s a bunch of overgrown stiffs.
What’s worse is that these guys can’t sell a fight, either. Lewis was boring as all hell to watch, but people would still be interested in his fights. But aside from Ali, nobody was better at selling a fight than my man Mike Tyson. Tyson let his craziness run rampant – whether intentional or not – and you couldn’t help but be interested in who was going to step into the ring with that maniac. Check out some classic clips of Tyson’s insanity on full display below.
CC Sabathia has told the NY Post and other media outlets that he would absolutely love to see Lebron James, his friend, come to New York. This is just the start of CC’s attempts in the media to lure James. For those of you who live in a cave, James will be a free agent this summer, and may explore other teams. It is believed that deep down Lebron, and Akron native, will remain in Cleveland. Nonetheless, Lebron is a huge Yankees fan, and was quoted as saying the following before several Yankees attended one of his games in New York,
“The fact that they would take time out of their schedule,” James said, “especially with what they just accomplished, to come see a basketball game, come see us play, come see the Knicks play, it’s humbling for me as an individual and it’s humbling for our team that you would come out and support us.”
CC Sabathia has already begun his recruiting. He’s been in Cleveland, and now he pitches for the Yankees so he knows first hand the difference.
“There’s nothing like winning here. There’s nothing like playing here. The fans and just the whole experience. There’s nothing you can compare it to. And I’m just happy that I made the right decision.”
For certain, the two communicate via text and phone calls. The question is, can the big man do it? Certainly there is the awe of playing in Madison Square Garden in New York. Please prepare yourself because this story is going to be on ESPN 24/7 in a few months. As an aside, Lebron has told CC he would seriously consider the Knicks is A-rod never wears that fuggin hat to one of his games ever again….
Considering how good a team the ladies of Oregon are in Lacrosse, I found it funny that the majority of photos I was able to find with this team contained ridiculous faces and copious amounts of alcohol.
Well, I can only assume these quantities of alcohol due to the lewd gestures and wheelchair racing. No, I didn’t include those photos because you know, that wouldn’t be right.
But posting drunken photos of a nationally ranked collegiate team is definitely fine.
Enjoy….
Out of the three major sports (no chance can hockey still be considered a “major” sport), baseball is the one where guys seem to just hang around forever. One of those guys is Eric Gagne, and he’s going to be a Dodger again.
PHOENIX — The Dodgers and free-agent reliever Eric Gagne have tentatively agreed on a Minor League contract with an invitation to Major League camp, according to baseball sources, although an announcement probably won’t be made until Friday.
Gagne also had an offer from the Colorado Rockies, but he made it clear in a meeting with Dodgers general manager Ned Colletti earlier this month that his preference was to return to the team where he enjoyed his greatest success.
I think this was a case of the Dodgers signing Gagne so that he could avoid the humiliation of finding himself without a team – you know, to make it up to the guy for saving like four zillion games in a row. They definitely don’t need much bullpen help, so this has to be a thankful gesture. Colorado, on the other hand, was likely desperate.
Or, both teams wanted a clown on the roster for the sole purpose of entertaining fans. Yes, a clown – there’s just no other way to describe Gagne after his abysmal performances recently. He’d come out of the pen in Boston with his big, curly hair surrounding his head like a ridiculous mane, and then proceed to serve up batting practice meatballs to the opposing team. All that was missing was a big red nose on his face and a clown car to bring him onto the field from the bullpen.
