At least Jose Reyes has been showing some signs of life. Right, Mets fans?
The Mets didn’t call it a setback, but don’t hold your breath waiting for Carlos Beltran’s return.
The center fielder visited doctors in Vail, Colo., about his ailing right knee yesterday, and the team said last night that Beltran was “making progress,” but was not ready to resume baseball-related activities.
Until that happens, there won’t be a timetable for Beltran’s return. He will continue his rehabilitation program and Angel Pagan and Gary Matthews, Jr. will take his place.
No surprises here, right? I mean, a normal player would probably be swinging a bat at the very least right now, but not Carlos Beltran. The guy can’t even run or do anything, let alone play baseball, despite his injury being one from which someone should at least show signs of recovering. It just further affirms my theory that Carlos Beltran is the biggest pussy in all of baseball, and it’s not even close.
Here, this is fact:
MLB : Carlos Beltran :: NFL : Shaun Alexander :: NBA : Vince Carter
Set that shit in stone.
Some people get excited before a game and dress up in uniforms. Some have a fun barbecue. And then some go to the parking lot and tailgate. Some I guess tailgate different than others. This jackass decided to get hammered pre-game, play that dumb spin around thing and pass out. He has great friends by the way.
iI know that this video has been around for a little while, but I’ve never even heard about it, let alone seen it. So what do you think – is Chamillionaire full of shit? Or is his Michael Jordan story true? To be honest, I’m not really sure what to believe. Because on one hand, Michael Jordan is a huge cocksucker (everyone knows this) and so any story about him being an asshole I’m inclined to believe. But on the other hand, I don’t really trust Chamillionaire. I generally don’t trust people with whom I have nothing in common because I have no idea where they’re coming from, and Chamillionaire and I are way too different. And no, I don’t mean his skin color, I mean the fact that he calls himself Chamillionaire.
Every once in a while I’ll skim around to see if there are any cheerleaders out there that could give pro sports teams an idea or two. After all, cheerleading is becoming a commonplace in areas outside of sport. First it spread to lesser known sports like cricket and volleyball, but now it’s become part of advertising major brands and video games.
So if pro sports teams are looking for any gimmicks they might want to head over to events like Comic Con and check out the dancing. This year in Anaheim the theme of their cheerleaders was heroins or superheroes.
It was delightful. Pictures after the jump
You would think he’d be upset about losing a potential starting gig to some rookie, but apparently not.
Ike Davis’ cheerleaders include the player likely to be dislodged from first base by Monday’s promotion of the highly regarded prospect.
Daniel Murphy, who had been anointed the Opening Day first baseman until a right knee injury during the final week of spring training forced him to the disabled list, indicated he would readily accept a lower-profile role once his rehab is complete.
“Obviously they thought Ike was the best option. And I think he probably is the best option,” Murphy told ESPNNewYork.com by telephone from Port St. Lucie, Fla. “He swung the bat well last night, as he did here. He’s a guy who has played the position before. I think he’s going to swing the bat really well, to tell you the truth.”
The Mets have enough problems on their hands as it is, on now they’ve discovered that their injury-prone first baseman is also a fraglie egoed loser with no self esteem. I mean, you’re OK with having some kid come in and take your job? I thought professional athletes were supposed to be competitive and confident, not all “Oh, I kind of suck so if someone plays over me, it’s because he’s probably better.” That’s some weak shit right there.
This is like the politician who won’t vote for himself. If you don’t think you’re the best for the job, why should we?

Enough is enough already. Everyday there is something new in the news about an NFL player getting arrested or doing some stupid. It’s getting ridiculous. The league has become an absolute farce. The players within the league are as dumb as human beings can get. They are rich, famous, and have absolutely no IQ. You take away there athletic ability and these guys probably couldn’t even hang at McDonald’s.
I’m so tired of hearing about Ben Roethlisberger, and I’m even more tired of typing his fucking last name. The guy should be put on an island somewhere so we never hear from him again. I hope Big Ben knows that if he didn’t win a Super Bowl he’d probably be a 30 year old virgin.
You scroll to the NFL homepage and you see the following… positive for pot, accused of sexual assault, fight with a bouncer at a night club. I mean this shit never ends, and it won’t end until idiots like me stop going to games. It’s almost to a point of absurdity. I mean Joey Porter, Donte Stallworth, Michael Vick (who makes $5 million this year) the list goes on and on. It’s fucking insulting to the common man.
The only solace one can take from this is about 85% of NFL players are bankrupt, addicted to some shit, and totally screwed within a decade after they play. I mean at what point does it dawn on you that you’re playing a game, millions of people adore you, and you’re making a shitload of money for a living. Seriously, fuck these guys sometimes…..
Ok, I’m done spazzing out for the week….

Even though Roethlisberger isn’t being charged, Goodell has seen enough to consider suspending the quarterback for violating policy.
NFL commissioner Roger Goodell says Ben Roethlisberger has violated the NFL’s personal conduct policy but would not confirm reports on when he will announce discipline for the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, he said on the syndicated “Dan Patrick Show” on Monday.
Asked by Patrick whether there has been a violation of the NFL’s personal conduct policy, Goodell replied, “Yes, there has been a violation of that.”
“The issue here is with respect to a pattern of behavior and bad judgments,” Goodell said on Patrick’s radio program. “You do not have to be convicted or even charged of a crime to be able to demonstrate that you’ve violated a personal conduct policy, and reflect poorly not only on themselves, but all of their teammates, every NFL player in the league and everyone associated with the NFL. And that is what my concern is, and I have expressed that directly to Ben, obviously, and I will be making a decision as soon as I possibly can.”
So basically, if you get shithoused drunk all the time and girls are claiming sexual assault, and then you enter a bathroom with a girl – where she’s trapped inside – with your penis already hanging out of your pants, that is in violation of the NFL’s personal conduct policy.
Ya know, I think that’s fair. There are a lot of crazy, lying accusers out there, but I don’t think Ben’s alleged victim is one of them. Didn’t Ben used to write “Play for Jesus” on his cleats?
