Favre Fever Grips Manhattan
Of course, I know how it feels. But that still doesn't in anyway preclude anyone in Manhattan from punching them if they start Brett!Brett!Brett!-ing throughout the city. This individual was spotted walking along 3rd Avenue and 41st a little after 4 p.m. today. He must be stopped. The camo shorts ar...
Giants Fan Braves Unbelievable Hardship For Patriots 19-0 Shirt
Not unlike the travels of Che Guevara, Aaron Kaplowitz's heroic quest for Patriots' 19-0 memorabilia in Central America is a tale fraught with danger and high adventure. And did I mention cockfighting? On hearing that a remote Nicaraguan village was the destination for Patriots World Champions gear ...
Madden '09, An Overdraft Notice, And A Buccaneers Fan Wants To End It All
What they're saying out in the ether about Brett Favre's move to New Jersey ......
Joba Chamberlain's Aching Shoulder May Have Officially Killed The Yankees' Post-Season Hopes
The above photo was taken a few weeks ago when Yankees' ace Joba Chamberlain popped into random Dunkin' Donuts in Manhattan to serve cold coffee-like beverages to unsuspecting customers. Maybe that's how he tweaked his shoulder. The 22-year-old ace-in-training is getting it looked at by Birmingham, ...
New York Knicks Owner James Dolan Advertises His Band With Google Banners
And why wouldn't he? When you're a rocker like JD and the Straight Shot (get it, get it!) you can't be expected to pour all your efforts into a perpetually losing team steeped in sexual harassment. No way, man. You got to feel the vibe. Ride the proverbial dragon, strum those strings. You're a rocke...
New Battle Cry In The Yankees-Red Sox Rivalry: You Are Hereby Served
A feud that broke out at Yankee Stadium last year between a group of Yankees fans and a Red Sox fan is being resolved in old-school fashion; with the Red Sox fan taking the issue to court. Wait, what? You heard that right, you Bronx ruffians. Let that be a lesson to you. ...
Yankee Revenue To Immediately Double In New Stadium
Last year the Yankees brought in an estimated $327 million to lead all major league baseball teams. Not bad considering that in 1973 George Steinbrenner bought the entire team for $10 million. But if you think those revenue numbers are big, you ain't seen nothing yet. When the new stadium opens next...
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...
Manny To The Mets? What?
With John Maine headed for a shoulder MRI, it would seem that the Mets have bigger problems; but at any rate, Manny Ramirez seems to be back on the table. Despite Monday's denials, both the Mets and Red Sox are admitting today that they've been in touch. Suddenly Manny as a Met is a real possibility...
Sox Look to Spank Yanks, Salvage Series
If the Yankees are going to complete the Fenway sweep of the Red Sox they'll need a solid outing from Sir Sidney Alton Ponson. Ponson's career has been marked by wild inconsistency, but he's been oddly dependable on the mound this season. Jon Lester will take the ball for the Sox and Manny will be r...
Whoever Wins, They'll Still Love Each Other
The Yankees and Red Sox are ready to go in Fenway and Joe Buck's pants are tightening in anticipation. New York is rolling through July, having won seven straight after last night's series opening win. Andy Petitte and Tim Wakefield will be on the mound and Manny Ramirez is back in Boston's lineup ...
Joba Rules Fenway
The Yankees came into Boston on a six-game winning streak and in the end Mariano Rivera kept it alive. Joba Chamberlain dominated the Red Sox lineup for seven shutout innings, striking out nine while allowing just three hits. Kyle Farnsworth did his best to fuck things up in the eighth when he gave...
Favre Might Ruin The Rest Of His Legacy As A New York Jet
Surprise. The latest rumor percolating in the the Brett Favre douchepot has the New York Jets front-runners to land the malcontent quarterback's services. According to Chris Mortensen, the Jets have asked for permission to talk to Favre once Favre's reinstatement is complete. The Bucs, the front-run...
Get Your Madonna Face For Sox-Yankees Rivalry
As the Yanks and Sox prepare to do battle for the 8,038th time of the 2008 Major League Baseball season, there's a new wrinkle to the series. Or at the very least a wrinkled vagina. Yep, Madonna masks are coming to Fenway. At least if Red Sox fans get their wish. Apologies for that scary photo. But...
Yankees Will Not Rest Until They Have All Molinas
The Yankees aren't desperate enough to sign Barry Bonds — at least not yet — but they may have their goggles set on cornering the market on Molinas. With the trade deadline looming and missing sluggers Hideki Matsui and Jorge Posada, the Yankees are reportedly interested in acquiring Giants' catcher...
Fred Wilpon Learns From His Mistakes. Kind Of.
Mets owner Fred Wilpon finally realizes that the early morning firing of Willie Randolph could have been handled better. The long-time Mets' executive told SNY that he "screwed up" and, should a situation like that arise again, the next managerial shit-canning will be done before press deadline. ...
Hopefully, There's More Where That Came From
Yes, it's a bit premature to post this picture of last year's champagne-blasting of NBC10 reporter Jade McCarthy getting, hmm, soaked by the joyous 2007 Philles after they stole the NL East, but with last night's 8-6 victory still buzzing in my head it seemed appropriate....
It's Just Melky Being Manny, I Suppose
I'm just glad that George Steinbrenner didn't live to see this. Apparently there's a tradition at Yankee Stadium where a group of fans called the Bleacher Creatures chant out each player's name in the first inning. The player usually acknowledges this; but not during a play. Oh, Melky Cabrera. You c...
The Hopes Of A Frustrated Phillies Nation Are Nestled Under Joe Blanton's Second Chin
In case you need reminding, there's a huge (chuge?) baseball game here in the Northeastern part of the country this evening, as the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies begin their three-game bloodfeast tonight in Shea for National League East supremacy. The Phillies will roll out newly acquired ...
Jeremy Shockey Breaks Through New Orleans Douche Levee
This is Jeremy Shockey. You might remember Jeremy from the time you drafted him two rounds too high in your fantasy draft because a) He played in New York, and b) You're subconsciously just a bit racist. Jeremy, seen here trying to convince a woman to go home with him so he can give her Hepatitis ...
