What you thought you could kill us off that easily? Truth is I’ve been on vacation but I’m back now and look for me to be writing in full rotation starting next week. However let’s get on with this shocking Erin Andrews news.
This is not a drill; I repeat this is not a drill. When I break this news please do not go running into the streets with blind rage and confusion. Please brace yourselves for the next paragraph.
According to TMZ, ESPN’s sideline princess, Erin Andrews, was struck in the face by a foul ball by New York Mets player Alex Cora.
Andrews — who serves as a sideline reporter for ESPN – was struck in the chin by a foul ball hit by New York Mets player Alex Cora during the 4th inning.
This DOES NOT give anyone the right to kill any Mets fans upon sight unless they were stupid enough to lose gold teeth in a toilet at Citifield or if you want to pretend it was a Yankees player that was the cause of this, then by all means kill away.
I know the shock of this is unsettling. My first thought was: It hit EA’s chin and missed Dana Jacobson’s? No justice!!! But I’m able to control myself.
Erin is OK. I repeat she is OK; she only suffered a bruised chin.
I’ll keep you posted of any updates as soon as they are made available to me.
Number of wins the Mets have in the last week: 1 Number of sideline princesses has been hit with a foul ball at one of their games in the last week: 1 …Christ…
It has been 3 days and I am still in shock. Though he died in, to say the least, odd circumstances, for a community, city, state, and fans scattered across the world, our QB has left us.
For years, Tennessee did not have a professional sports franchise to call our own. Yes the Vols were kings of Tennessee college football and the Tigers were the kings of Tennessee college basketball, but we watched as Jacksonville got our NFL team. We watched as Vancouver got our basketball team (ironic huh???) For years, we could only imagine the possibilities of seeing our team going to a Super Bowl. We could only dream of going to pro basketball games with our parents, and one day taking our own children to those same games.
Thanks to K.S. “Bud” Adams, our pro sports thirst was finally quenched (with all apologies to the Nashville Predators). The then-Oilers would build a home in Tennessee. For a couple of years, they were a rag tag group of football players, first by playing in Memphis and then in Vanderbilt Stadium in Nashville. But they were led by our QB, Steve McNair.
I remember when the Oilers would hold pep rallies on Beale St. in Memphis. Where as a lot of the players would look like they did not wanna be there, he made sure to lead the cheers. After those pep rallies, he made sure to sign as many autographs and take as many pics as he could. I had many opportunities to meet Steve McNair on many occasions, and on each one, he was always nice and smiling.
Later on, he would lead the team to Super Bowl XXXIV against the St. Louis Rams. We hung on every play. We knew we as Titans fans had a shot of winning the game in the 4th quarter because of our QB. We came up 1 yard short, which still eats away at our sports soul. But the thrill of being oh so close to glory almost makes up for not winning (almost).
We cheered when he won the MVP trophy. We cringed when Ray Lewis tackled him. We got pissed at Bud Adams & Floyd Reese for kicking him out of the door. We were glad to see him in the neighborhood after he retired. Through it all, he was our QB. He gave away free admissions to his football camps for needy kids. He gave shoes to high school football players who couldn’t afford them. He asked people to donate supplies during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, and Middle Tennessee gave truckloads (he loaded the trucks). He opened a restaurant across the street from Tennessee State University when he could have opened it elsewhere. Most importantly, he did it selflessly and with a smile.
We don’t have the storied history of the Boston Red Sox, L.A. Lakers, New York Yankees, or Pittsburgh Steelers. He was our Ted Williams, our Kareem, our Joe DiMaggio, our Terry Bradshaw. Coach Jeff Fisher said it best:
“The Steve McNair that I knew was a great person. He helped put this organization on the map here in Tennessee, put it in our first Super Bowl. I will miss him, as you all will miss him. And I ask you to honor what he did on the field and in the community and he was a tremendous legacy. And that is his legacy and I am proud to have been a part of that.’’
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that Darren Daulton isn’t exactly a saint by any stretch of the imagination, and yes it’s possible he for took in some illegal drug taking during his fourteen years as a professional baseball player. However Daulton wants to set the record straight and let everyone know-he was absolutely high the majority of his year in the majors.
Daulton appeared on the radio with Philly sports talk host Mike Missanelli, where the two discussed his current charity work, Schilling’s blogging expertise and the mess that Lenny Dykstra is in. The conversation naturally turned towards steroids which turned into drugs in general and that’s when Daulton let us know that he is baseball’s equivalent to Keith Richards.
If I told you all the drugs that I’ve taken, Mike, you would open that up as a can of worms (laughing). I don’t feel that you or anyone else needs to know anything that I’ve ever done to respect me. No disrespect, that’s just the way I am. I feel if I told you all the drugs I’ve ever taken that would reflect on someone else. I can assure you, there’s probably no one in any sport that has taken more drugs that I have. And I think people still respect me. It’s not what goes in, it’s what comes out.
Apparently Daulton is still doing these drugs of which he speaks if he thinks people still respect him.
Actually, a funny part of the interview is when a fan calls in asking how the Phillies—2.5 games up on the rest of the NL East—can “turn it around.” Ah, the genius of sports radio.
The photo is Daulton minus the mullet he wore for years proving that Rogaine is the one drug he will not take.
If there is one thing I love equally as sports is mob movies. The Godfather 1 & 2, Goodfellas and Donnie Brasco are all cornerstones of the mob movie genre. However just as we learned from Maurice Clarett, sports and the mafia just don’t mix.
Bulgarian goaltender Nikolay Mihailov lost his Playmate model girlfriend to a notorious mob boss and quite frankly that must have hurt, but what would hurt even more is being attacked by that mob boss.
Mihailov was dating Nikoleta Lozanova but she dumped him for local godfather Georgi “The Head” Stoilov. Mihailov found a new lady friend (also a Bulgarian Playmate amazingly enough) that he stupidly compared to his old girlfriend. Talk about making a huge mistake.
Mihailov allegedly joked to local media that if his new girlfriend was a Ferrari, Nikoleta must be a broken down Trabant from the old East Germany.
The next day, Mihailov woke to find that his Ferrari had suffered £17,000 worth of damage following an acid attack that had destroyed the car’s paintwork.
At first I thought this article was completely made up. Two women in Bulgaria who could pose for Playboy? Have they relaxed the mustache restrictions? Then I saw one of the women.
I’m betting it’s all a coincidence. (At least neither Mihailov or the new girlfriend were attached with acid.) Mihailov, is also the son of Bulgaria’s greatest soccer “legend”, is now in hiding, presumably to avoid ending up like Jimmy Hoffa.
Acid is like a woman, a good one will eat through your pants. Zing!
Everyone who is anyone knows that baseball season isn’t really baseball season until White Sox manager, Ozzie Guillen says something controversial. Welcome to baseball season boys and girls!!!
I personally love Ozzie no matter what team he is coaching and I also personally hate the Cubs. So when Ozzie says something that is downtrodden about the Cubs my day get just a little bit better.
The White Sox/Cubs series this past weekend was ready for craziness since this might be baseball’s most dysfunctional rivalry. Whenever Lou Pinella wasn’t screaming like a banshee at his own players he was taking some shots at people in the Chicago south side area. He pointed out the fact that there is a significant jump in attendance at U.S. Cellular Field when the Cubs take the bus downtown. 20,000 fans more showed up this past weekend than previous weekend when the Dodgers were visiting the White Sox. Luckily for us Ozzie was there and ready to go toe-to-toe with Pinnella and his barbs:
“Because our fans are not stupid like Cubs fans,” Guillen said. “They know we’re [expletive].”
Guillen said Cubs fans will watch any game at Wrigley Field because “Wrigley Field is just a bar.”
I disagree, bars have nicer bathrooms.
Gee…people say Ozzie is crazy however in this case he’s pretty much spot on. As a bonus you get to figure out what the expletive word is.
I’ll take what is “badass motherfuckers,” for $500 Alex.
"Dammit Earl, I told you I was wearin' this outfit. ... I can’t even look at you right now."
This was taken at the Milwaukee Mile NASCAR race and what I find most disturbing about this image is: Why is there a prosthetic leg in the picture and where the hell is the owner of the leg?
I predict custody of the leg will be at the center of a very messy divorce proceeding.
I have to give them credit, that’s great posture for white trash.
Now I admit, I’m not a golfer, but I can imagine how playing behind people who are slow can be frustrating. I hate lines which makes me into a bigger asshole around Christmas time or whenever I’m in a Wal-Mart. And don’t get me started on other people’s driving either. Hey fuck face use a flipping turn signal once in a while!
Now fortunately for me and other people who detest waiting in lines, a brave new savior has arrived. His name is Edwin Dailey and he’s 73-years old. Edwin has given us a “moral obligation to destroy” those that take to long in lines but using brute force and hollow point bullets. Sweet!!
Dailey was discriminated against by the Po Po in Austin Texas, when he politely asked the men on the ninth hole to speed up or be shredded by the sweet justice of hollow point bullets. Oh yeah they improperly parked their cart too! Well the men didn’t believe him but they were made believers in the parking lot.
“After the 18th hole, all of them ended up in the parking lot together, the affidavit said, and Dailey reignited the confrontation and told the three men to stay away from him because he felt threatened.
After a verbal exchange, Dailey pulled out a .25-caliber Browning handgun loaded with hollow-point bullets and pointed it at Nader, the affidavit said. The three men took cover behind cars, fearing for their lives, the affidavit said. Dailey then concealed the gun and went back to the clubhouse while the men called 911, the affidavit said.
He later returned while they were on the phone and said, “If I feel threatened, I am morally obligated to destroy you,” according to the affidavit.”
Emphasis added because he is a bad ass. For the record the slow poke Nader is also a student assistant coach at Texas, the punk.
Is there some sort of bounty on football coaches from Texas this week? Watch your back Wade Phillips!
When his wife asked about his round, Dailey said “I almost took a three in the parking lot.” Then he slammed a Schlitz.
I’ve also heard that Dailey is a single-digit handicapper, but only because his regular foursome has been terrified into giving him any putt less than 30 feet.
Either which way I hate standing in lines…but I’ll admit that I’m rather hesitant about pulling out my Berretta to speed things up. Expect at Wal-Mart, it’s anything goes there.
How disappointing is must have been for that lady. I mean she applied her eyebrows on with a magic marker and everything, and with a grill like that it’s understandable that she’s forgotten what a good “F” looks like.
