    I’d like to know where Bob Costas gets his facts.

    What was New York Jets QB Mark “El Matador” Sanchez’s secret to killing the Oakland Raiders this weekend? (Hint: It wasn’t the “Shaka”-brah)

    “I want to apologize for that,” Sanchez said. “I wasn’t feeling very good and didn’t eat much before the game, so I was feeling a little queasy. Toward the end of the game, I probably should have eaten one of those bars or something, but someone offered [a hot dog], so I grabbed it and tried to be discreet about it, but obviously not discreet enough. So I shouldn’t have done that, and it won’t happen again.”

    - Via NY Post

    That’s how bad the Raiders are: opposing quarterbacks can freely eat hot dogs on the bench at the end of blowout victories.  I hope the team doesn’t fine Sanchez; after all, eating a hot dog from the Oakland Coliseum is its own punishment.

    This is fantastic. Mark Sanchez gains 5 cool points in my book.

    thegreg: Already considered by many to be unstable, Mr. Met was driven over the edge at the thought of a Yankees/Phillies World Series. Met, 47, of Queens has famously been the symbol of the New York Mets franchise through thick and (mostly) thin. Reports state that Met was found this morning by his wife, lying unconscious next to a giant baseball bat. The injury is apparently self-inflicted. Friends say that his mental health has decreased significantly over the last three years. “To be honest, we’ve all been expecting this. He was always very negative, but he’s taken a real nose dive lately,” The San Diego Chicken stated in a press release. Met’s longtime colleague and rival The Phillie Phanatic was less kind. “He’s a self loathing loser. Fuck him. WHERE’S MY CHAMPAGNE!?” After being revived, a groggy and disoriented Mr. Met was loaded into an ambulance and could be heard saying “It’s just not fair… It’s just not fair…” (: HANG IN THERE METS FANS :) GO YANKEES!

  • The Angels Just Won’t Die

    image

    The Angels took game 5 of the ALCS against the Yankees last night, but the Yanks still have the advantage in the series, leading 3-2. The Angels took an early lead in the bottom of the 1st inning, scoring 4 runs. There was no other runs scored until the top of the 7th, when New York had an incredible 6-run rally. But in the bottom of the 7th, L.A. scored 3 more runs, and lead the Yanks by a run going into the 8th. Then with two outs in the bottom of the 9th, Fuentes intentionally walked A-Rod, walked Matsui, then hit Robinson Cano to load the bases. Nick Swisher came up to bat, but after a long at-bat he flied out to short, and the ALCS is going back to the Bronx for game 6 on Saturday.

    randomsox: brighteryellow: The photographer, Scott Rovak, says in 26 years of shooting baseball, he’s been able to get a photo of the ball “embedded” in the bat only three times. This one happened because he knows Pujols’ swing well enough to fire a shot as Pujols moves his lead shoulder. This is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen.

    Ozzie Guillen to join Fox Sports for World Series

    (via alcentral)

    This is the best goddamn news those cocksuckers at FOX Sports have announced in a long fucking time.

    This can only end in disaster. Awesome.

    This should make the series a little more interesting. Ozzie Guillen is never P.C. and almost always gets himself into trouble with the media. Next they’re gonna anounce that Rush Limbaugh and Rev. Al Sharpton are going to do the half-time reports during football games.

  • Governator Approves “Environmental Exemption” Bill, OK’s L.A. Football Stadium

    Developer Majestic Realty Co. will build a 75,000-seat NFL-style stadium in the City of Industry, about 15 miles east of Los Angeles, in  hopes of luring an already existing team to move to the largest city in the U.S. without an NFL team. The company is considering 7 teams, including the San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, and San Diego Chargers.

    In signing the “environmental exemption” bill, Governor Schwarzenegger has helped to generate 18,000 jobs and more than $762 million in economic output. However, he has also given Majestic Realty Co. carte blanche to do what they like to the property they plan to build on, which raises much concern among environmental activist groups in southern California. It sounds to me like Arnie is desperate to start chipping away at the massive debt he has accrued for the state of California during his reign.
