It’s times like this, when the priorities of the American public are revealed, that I kind of get why the terrorists hate us so much.
A full 14 years after entering the league and a decade after taking the Ravens to the franchise’s only Super Bowl win (including its time in Cleveland — that should be good for 75 more comments), linebacker Ray Lewis is getting an honor usually reserved for folks who are retired and/or deceased.
On Tuesday, a street in Baltimore will be named “Ray Lewis Way.” The Ravens announced the coming honor on Sunday evening.
Specifically, a section of North Avenue in Baltimore will receive a new label in honor of Lewis, a perennial All Pro and future Hall of Famer.
I honestly thought this was on Sportspickle or the Onion or something. I mean, yeah, innocent until proven guilty and he had a fair trial and blah blah blah, but doesn’t simply being tried for murder automatically disqualify you from getting a street named after you? Like, people in Baltimore know that he probably, at the very least, had something to do with the murder. But hey, he makes awesome tackles, so let’s name a street after him.
I really, really hope, that someone gets stabbed to death on Ray Lewis Way. Heads will explode.
I know this isn’t relevant to sports, but if you’re having a crappy Monday this will brighten it up for a couple seconds! Enjoy.
EMBED-BobsBlitz.com ~ Mike Francesa Caught Lying About Sources On-Air – Watch more free videos
Everyone knows that Mike Francesca is a blowhard and thinks he’s way more important than he actually is, but the good folks over at NJFrogman posted the above video with proof that he is, in fact, a fucking liar. Apparently, Mike has claimed that he’s been talking to sources in New Jersey with regards to detail about the Lawrence Taylor case. Because, you know, Mike is a big swinging dick and knows people. Only thing is, Jersey isn’t involved in the Taylor investigation. New York is.
So watch as Mike squirms and tap dances instead of simply admitting that he’s full of shit. It’s awesome.
Chelsea left no doubt in the final stretch to claim the English Premier League Title on Sunday. Didier Drogba netted 3 times, and Chelsea edged rival Manchester United by a single point in the final standings. The win prevented Man U from setting a record of 4 straight EPL titles.
Drogba finished as the leading scorer in the EPL as Chelsea won it’s final three games tallyinh 17 goals and conceding none. Manchester United won it’s final game vs. Stoke in an attempt to leapfrog Chelsea, but clearly Chelsea wasn’t going to even give them a glimmer of hope.
Chelsea has a shot to take down the FA Cup next weekend for the double. The Blues had a great season beating Man U twice and posting a 71 goal advantage over competition.
Take a moment to really think about how much things have changed since the 1960s. Hell the 90s were only twenty years ago and we look back at that time as if it were the dark ages. But the 60s? Good Lord. From technology to style to the way we act and rationalize it’s as if we’re on a completely different planet now.
And talk about style. Jesus. Could hair for women have been worse back then? Could people being in “good shape” have been in any worse shape back then? And the outfits? Oh God the outfits. Why so much clothing? Come on ladies!
The bodies are there. They’re waiting to come out but they just don’t. Thanks to a fun piece by Sports Illustrated I present you with some 60s cheerleaders
I love how since Dallas Braden pitched a perfect game yesterday, everyone – and by everyone, I mean me and a couple of my buddies – can only talk about how this somehow ups the ante in Braden’s feud with Alex Rodriguez. Like now, because Braden pitched the game of his life, A-Rod somehow has to take him seriously. I’m really looking forward to the time when these two face each other, and I’m absolutely praying for some sort of confrontation. Either A-Rod needs to run over the pitcher’s mound after making an out or, even better, Braden throws at him and A-Rod charges the mound. Braden has pretty much said he’s looking for a fight, so if he doesn’t throw at A-Rod, nobody’s gonna remember his perfect game – just that he’s a pussy who can’t back up his tough talk. I hope A-Rod manhandles him.
See, this is a play worthy of being called one of the plays of the year. Going all out and extended into foul territory to make a helluva catch is legit; catching a ball in foul territory then running another ten feet and driving headfirst into the stands isn’t. I still say that Jeter catch is the most overrated of all time, just ahead of David Wright’s “diving” barehanded catch – he caught the ball over his shoulder then fell down, he didn’t dive.
This catch is better than both.
Wow, dude….obsess much? From a recent interview with Mychael Urban (who spells his name like an asshole):
Mychael Urban: What people do want to see is what’s in your head regarding Alex Rodriguez. I was on the air the day it happened, and I said, “I just fell in love with Dallas all over again.” I pitched in college; if somebody did that to me I would have done the exact same thing. After the game, when you said, “If he does it again, there’s going to be repercussions…” I don’t want to put words in your mouth, but I said, “Where Dallas comes from, the 209, they don’t settle things with message pitches, they settle them with knuckles.” Is that what you were talking about?
Dallas Braden: Well, I mean that’s pretty much the long and the short of it. You know, on a serious note, obviously there’s things that are going to have to happen — just out of respect for my teammates, out of respect for the game. I think he’s probably garnered a new respect for the unwritten rules, and people who hold them close to their game. But yeah I think you’re right — we don’t do much talking in the 209.
Ugh. I’m getting retard tingles. Anyone using his area code as a sign of toughness either isn’t tough or is a fucking moron. Unless Dallas Braden is going to throw at A-Rod the next time he faces him, he should really keep his mouth shut. Besides, A-Rod is a monster and would kick the shit out of him.
Really, though, this is like Koko B. Ware calling out Hulk Hogan. Why would Hogan even give a shit what Koko and his stupid bird have to say? It’s the same thing here…Braden is some yoker calling out one of baseball’s best players for some dumb shit about running across the mound. Like it’s news that A-Rod is an asshole? Either throw at him or just shut up and go back to the 209, tough guy.
