Only 10 Days Left!

What an epic fight schedule! My only question, why do Canseco and Danny Bonaduce look like they are about to viciously make out in the photo. That’s not intimidation, that’s love!

I Give Up On the Judicial System

What the fuck Dave Meggett?!?! The former Giant, Jet and Patriot has been arrested in South Carolina for raping a 21-year old woman, only months after his latest accusation of raping another woman.

The woman told police she woke up at 1 a.m. Tuesday and found a man she knew as “Mike” sitting on her bed, according to an incident report. The man demanded that she repay $200 she owed him and raped her when she said she didn’t have the money, police said.

Afterward, the man told her he was sorry and that she didn’t have to repay him. The woman drove herself to the hospital, where Meggett later met her and was arrested, according to police records.

Gee, how generous of Meggett, I mean, you rape someone, over a measly $200, it’s real nice of you to say that the debt is wiped clean. Apparently, in Megget’s world one rape equals $200. Fucking whackjob.

Meggett, who was arrested in September for third-degree sexual conduct with a 17 year old, who also knew his as “Michael” is also out on probation stemming from his 2006 sexual battery charge in North Carolina. Hey justice system, here’s an idea, LOCK HIS ASS UP! I mean, I know the courts are busy and all, but wouldn’t that second time he rapes someone come off as a pattern that maybe needs to be stopped? Call me crazy, but what the fuck is he doing out on the streets and not getting his own ass raped in prison? Oh yeah, and there was that time in 90s when he was charged with assualting a woman in Toronto when she wanted to stop having sex with him. But yeah, that’s no reason to keep him in jail…It’s not like he has had multiple sexual related crimes for nearly 20 years now. But sure, let’s let him walk the streets.

Give Me a Ball, Give Me Your Other Ball

As the winter season drags on for German soccer fans, anxious for the Bundesliga to get back to playing, turned out in droves to see a friendly between Hannover 96 and Osnabruck. In order to excite the fans even more, a corpulent gentleman decided to strip down to excite the crowd for the game.

I love how much the crowd gets into it, although, they seem more excited when he pulls his pants back up. I wonder if it was his fanaticism that got them going or just not seeing a fat man’s balls anymore made the other fans happy. I guess it’s just one of life’s little mysteries.

We Won! Want To Do Me?

During the 2006 NHL playoffs Edmonton fans went wild as the Oilers improbably getting all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals. Fans were celebrating, and rioting, in the streets leading to multiple arrests. Amid the hullabaloo was Theresa Simone Schneider, 55, who was arrested for soliciting sex from an undercover police officer. Twice.

Showing how swift the Canadian judicial system moves, the court finally held her hearing where she plead guilty to two counts of communicating for the purpose of prostitution and one count of failing to appear in court. During the proceedings the court heard how Schneider twice made an offer, first on April 13, 2006, and again on May 26, 2006 to perform a sex act for money to an undercover police officer.

Defense lawyer Warren Smith told court his client admits making the illegal propositions, but said she got “carried away” due to the “festive air” on the street as a result of the Oilers unexpected success during the 2006 playoffs.

Smith added Schneider had been drinking at the time.

Judge James Wheatley accepted the guilty plea and went along with a joint submission for a $700 fine.

If there is anything that says true hockey fan more than a 55 year old woman offering to blow you to celebrate the Oilers winning a hockey game, I don’t know what it is. Seeing that the Oilers are currently in 10th place, it seems that Ms. Schneider may need a different team to celebrate during this year’s playoffs.

Yeah, That’s the Spot

'She's a dynamo.'

Donovan McNabb on flexibility trainer Ann Frederick: 'She's a dynamo.'

Methinks that all 7 of you readers out there can come up with a better caption than the one that Philly.com had for this photo. Make it happen.

Michael Irvin’s Fame Saves Him

While cruising around the Dallas area in his white Range Rover and stopped at a light, Michael Irvin noticed the car next to him was lowering its window, as though to talk to him. So he lowered his and then noticed that the other car’s occupants were pointing a semiautomatic gun at him. “I knew what time it was,” Irvin said. “But [the assailaint] said ‘Oh, that’s Michael Irvin, with the Dallas Cowboys.’”

Ah, the joys of fame!

“So we started talking about the Cowboys and everything,” he said. “Then they got back on the highway.”

“I tell you what, I’m glad he was a Cowboy fan.”

Up Up and Away

I don’t want to say nothing about you as a person, but this kid is 4 years old and can out climb you. Meet Aidan, rock climbing expert, as he takes a pretty difficult ascension like it’s nothing.

You think that’s impressive, you should have seen me when I was 4, I totally had nearly mastered not pooping in my pants. So you know, we’re all winners.

Giants Fans Handle Defeat With Grace and Aplomb

I don’t know what it is about the Giants Stadium parking lot, or maybe it is just the fact that most Giants fans are giant tools, but here’s some fans after the Giants loss destroying cars (supposedly their own) in the parking lot. Classy guys. I bet you were totally happy with the decision you made the next day.

Everyone in the Pool!

yankee5This is the hot tub in the Yankees clubhouse in their new digs. It seats 12. I expect lots of “horseplay” amongst the boys…

If you’re interested in seeing some other photos of the nearly completed stadium, there’s more here, but I think you’re toolsy if you look.

The Cyclones ARE Brooklyn

As the inauguration approaches and the reign of Barack Obama is set to begin, the ever clever minds of minor league baseball are at work as well. The Brookyln Cyclones, Single A affiliate of the Mets are, for one game, changing their name to become the Baraklyn Cyclones.

The promotion, set for June 23rd looks to be well-thought out and planned. The team has even created a special website just for this event. Among the festivities planned for the game include special Stars and Stripes uniforms for the team and economic stimulus ticket packages, (it means they are cheap.)

But wait there’s more! From the website, here are some of the other promotions that will be running that day in honor of Barack Obama:

  • FREE Barack Obama bobbleheads to the first 2,500 fans in attendance, featuring the President in a Baracklyn Cyclones Jersey
  • The Economic Stimulus Package: From 10am on January 20th – Inauguration Day – to midnight on January 23rd, ticket prices for the June 23rd game will be “rolled back” to the Cyclones’ inaugural 2001 season rates: $10 Field Box Seats, $8 Box Seats, $5 Bleacher Seats. Beginning January 24th, tickets will be priced at the regular 2009 rates ($15, $12, $8)
  • Universal Health Care: Free Band-Aids to the first 1,000 fans
  • Naming Rights: Anyone named Barack gets in for free (Bring your ID on the night of the game)
  • Joe the Plumber special: any plumber named Joe gets two free tickets – one for himself, and one to “spread the wealth” with a friend (Bring your ID and a business card or proof of employment on the night of the game)
  • Bi-Partisan Consolation Prize: anyone named McCain or Palin will get a free Bleacher Seat (Bring your ID on the night of the game)
  • A clear-cut Exit Strategy: fans will receive American Flags and discount coupons as they leave the ballpark

The Cyclones aren’t done with just that though, they also made this video, which is pretty damn funny,well done Cyclones.

How Much is Eli Worth to You?

Fresh off the schadenfreude of the Giants’ loss yesterday comes this auction offering 136 autographed Eli Manning rookie cards for the low low price of $8 million. Seems reasonable to me!

Don’t worry, you’ll be getting your money’s worth, you see the cards “have not been exposed to light, excessive handling, or a smoking environment. All are currently in safe deposit boxes.” You can check out the gallery of each card here.

But wait, there’s MORE! “Should I get an irresistable offer on the collection, I will also give the buyer the following items for sale. 2004 NFL Draft Class Autographed Football Eli Manning, 2004 NFL Draft Class RC Autos Eli Manning Philip Rivers“.

Fortunately, the seller is not married to the $8 million price tag, saying “I will entertain offers on the collection, but also want Giants fans to see it.”

Because truly, all Giants fans want to marvel at the amazing collection of a bunch of crappy football cards. Because there is such a great tradition with football cards…
