Man Reminds People Of Kevin Costner Movie Character. Sad, Really

Manny May Be A Marlin In A Matter Of Minutes
Will Manny Ramirez find the peace of mind he seeks in the land of Gators and hanging chads? It's true: Our protagonist is THIS close to being a Marlin; words that in just about any other time would be a dire threat, but this year sound kind of intriguing. At any rate, Florida home attendance should ...
There's A Bill Belichick Sex Tape? Merciful Jesus, Anoint My Eyes With Clorox
Like opening the ancient, creaky attic door in a horror movie, some moves are so obviously wrong-headed that you just want to scream.

Less than 24 hours remain before Brett Favre is likely to make his debut at training camp with Green Bay. And to think, there were some who wanted him to stay retired. This is going to be wild; a media circus the likes of which Wisconsin has never witnessed. It'll be like Christmas and your birthday...

The Stupidest Catch
Rumor has it that the new Yankee Stadium will have suction tubes that will suck errant fans into the bowels of the stadium, like when Luke fell off the catwalk in Empire Strikes Back. Nets are so low-tech. Joseph Carullo, 54, was reaching for a foul ball on Tuesday night during the seventh inning o...
William Hung Tells All
And she bangs, she bangs/Oh baby When she moves, she moves/I go crazy 'Cause she looks like a flower but she stings like a bee/Like every girl in history/She bangs, she bangs ...

Surprisingly, All The Porn Comes In Fine
So, you're in Beijing right now, still waiting for Fire Joe Morgan to load? Don't hold your breath, comrade. As we mentioned earlier, some web sites which members of the foreign media are attempting to access in China are mysteriously failing to show up. Censorship? Surely not. Except that the Inter...
CC Sabathia Supports Print Media
That's quite an ad taken out by CC Sabathia in today's Cleveland Plain Dealer, thanking Clevelandities "for 10 great years," for their love and support, etc., etc. Also I think there are some movie reviews in there, and today's Dilbert (newspaper space is at a premium these days). From Cleveland.com...
The AL East Race Just Became A Lot More Appetizing
Imagine the Yankees or the Red Sox as World Series champions. Meh ... it's been done. Now imagine the Rays with the trophy, and along with it, the promise of free pizza for everyone in the world.

Heidi Watney's Rear Under Close Security Surveillance At All Times
Never let it be said that Fenway Park security is not doing their job. Take this guy, for instance, who is keeping close watch on the backside of NESN-TV reporter Heidi Watney; in case, you know, terrorists try to move in. Or whatever. Actually, when you examine the people in the stands, he isn't th...
Brad Ziegler's Goofy-Assed Delivery Unhittable So Far
Finally, there's hope for Barry Zito. First, you need to sustain a couple of concussions ... look, it's complicated. But the upshot is that you change to a sidearm delivery. Then you, like the Oakland Athletics' Brad Ziegler, might one day break the major league record for consecutive scoreless inni...
