I rarely feel bad for professional athletes because they make a ton of money to play a game. However, when Ryan Howard tore his achilles on the final out of the 2011 NLDS I genuinely felt bad for him. His timetable for surgery and recovery is going to be a long one, and as you can see he can’t even do the simplest things like walk around a grocery store.
I guess we have to applaud Howard for hoping on this motorized cart to do his grocery shopping, but it begs the question; the guy makes millions of dollars a year, you couldn’t hire someone to do your grocery shopping for you?? Hey saving money man, every little bit counts. Here’s to a speedy recovery Ryan, we hope to see you before June 2012.
As we gear up for another week of football, more and more fan pictures and candid shots from around the league are starting to crop up. It was just a matter of time before those photos wound up on this website.
And what better behind the scenes pictures are there than cheerleader shots? Clearly not too many. And I’m sure the people of the DC Metro area would be very pleased at the quality of these personal pics of some of the Redskins cheerleaders.
They are and will always be one of my favorites….
We blog mostly about the major sports. I do throw in a little soccer here and there because I follow it, but for the most part we stick to baseball, football, basketball, and hockey. I know it’s not fair.
Realizing this; I think it’s important to expand our horizons a tad. Thus, you have today’s featured post. Funny fights in non-conventional sports. It’s time we give some love to the little people, and we start by showing the fights. Let’s face the facts; sex and violence sells. We can’t do sex, so we’re going to do violence.
Enjoy some funny fights from the “other” sports….

I pretty much had the Tigers on the mat with an 8 count, not so much anymore with Verlander lurking around the corner. Game 4 is the Game (I know, it took real brains to make that conclusion)

There is really no explanation for something like this. You’re in Detroit watching the Tigers and Rangers in the American League Championship Series, and you have a New York Mets jersey on. The New York Fuggin’ Mets? The only thing I can come up with is that the guy doesn’t speak a lick of English, is visiting America for the first time, and loves “how do you say it… base–ball?”.
Let’s look at the bright side. At least he rocked a collared shirt, and buttoned his Mets jersey up to his chin. I mean he looks sharp. Mets jersey. He would have been better off wearing a Winnipeg Jets jersey.

I am in utter shock. I posted this video shown above on October 6, 2011. I called this guy the Worst Cleveland Browns Tailgater of All-Time. Amazingly, I was perusing some videos today, and I found another video of the same kid from the same tailgate only this time he’s with people, and things aren’t going well.
The bottom video was posted a day later and features our homeboy stripping down into his boxer briefs and getting the shit kicked out of him. The second video is astonishing. There is a guy on the mic talking shit to him, he’s running into a crowd in his underwear, then he gets the shit kicked out of him.
All in all, it’s a long day for our hero at the Cleveland Browns tailgate. This kid scares the living shit out of me. It wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he went home and had some guy’s dismembered arm for dinner from his refrigerator.
Oh yeah! You’re the guy that let up the gaming winning run right? Yeah that’s right. Remember a time when people were saying this guy was better than Mariano Rivera? Hahahaha. That’s pretty laughable right now.
Well, at least Papelboner is living up to the credo that a closer’s memory has to be short. Thanks to the Boston Herald and SplashNews for the photo, we’ve found out that Mr. Papelchoker is spending his days partying it up in New Orleans.
Question is, who are those two dudes behind him? Oh yeah, Jon, just for the record, I think that the Zephyrs might have an open spot on their roster. Give them a call dude.
There’s never a shortage of dumb athlete quotes to put up on Wednesday morning’s 10 am post. There really isn’t. I may have to expand this post because athletes aren’t getting any smarter. Enjoy….
Tracy McGrady tweeted about his vacation in Africa,
btw… i just vacationed there… pumped my own $ into that economy…local businesses benefited from my stay…what have you down to help?
Well, there is obviously a glaring typing mistake, but that happens. We are all now dumber from this Tweet. I will say this, he did it for a good cause.
After making the final out to lose the Division Series Alex Rodriguez said,
“I’ve got a lot of work to do,” Rodriguez conceded. “I have to get my house back in order … No question, I have a lot to prove. I’m looking forward to that challenge. I will be back with a vengeance.”
I think I understand what A-Rod is saying here, but get your house back in order? Does that mean pick up dirty laundry, make amends with Cameron Diaz? WTF does that mean?!?

The good news for the #Colts is if they keep losing they might just Luck out and win the Andrew lottery #Stanford
Wow, I almost had to change the title of this post to Smart, Funny, Witty, Intelligent Athlete quotes.
Zack Greinke on why he doesn’t like Chris Carpenter,
“They think his presence, his attitude out there sometimes is like a phony attitude,” Greinke said. “And then he yells at people. He just stares people down and stuff. And most pitchers just don’t do that. And when guys do, I guess some hitters get mad. Some hitters do it to pitchers. But when you do that some people will get mad. There’s other pitchers in the league that do it, but, I don’t know,” Greinke said, “a lot of guys on our team don’t like Carpenter.”
Was this in English? What the f%ck did he just say right here? Why don’t people like Chris Carpenter again????
