Thank you for sharing that wonderful story of the bitter anguish felt by the Los Angeles Dodger general manager.

“..but he was fighting back and heckling and even tried to spit on the officer.”

It’s another episode of CSI in the making: A ticking time bomb of a brain hemorrhage shown exploding in brilliant computer generated animation within the brain [cut to exterior scene] followed by the victim’s nose exploding in a torrent of blood all over the front of his favorite Hurricanes jacket and onto the floor…

I guess CK’s buddy never saw the Seinfeld episode in which Jerry introduces a friend to Elaine not knowing the friend took his wang-a-doodle*out for a breath of fresh air every once in a while, too.

I don’t follow college football, but common sense informs me that 13.4 points a game will stuff the freshman QB. It’ll be a good day to go fishing instead in Michigan..

My guess is she has brothers and sisters, and doofus knocked on his ass and looking for a flag from the refs is an only child. I bet she looks more graceful throwing a baseball, too.

“LaVar Ball played it cool publicly, telling reporters “it ain’t that big of a deal”.

The NY Times has posted an article today on its website which reminds me why it was surprisingly easy to turn my back on the NFL, a sport I’d loved all my life. By my lights, the price of admission the owners charge fans nowadays to enjoy games is simply too steep- way too steep:

Huff is on the right track with the wrong critter: “I am fond of pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals”. The reason they do, of course, is that pigs are the animal spirit guides for all humanity. Winston Churchill understood that.

I bet Mookie would have gone undefeated in tic-tac-toe contest against Bob Gibson’s daughter, too.

As a kid, I once caught a perfectly thrown, long spiral with the bridge of my nose. That is, I would have caught it if my nose had hands. It fucking hurt.

“The San Francisco 49ers earned their first win of the season today, in Week 10, by beating the Giants 31-21".

There seem to be more show offs getting tossed out of NFL games than ever before. If the great Merlin Olsen were still alive and broadcasting NFL games, he’d retire all over again. He could only go to the “he’s fiercely competitive but needs to keep it under control” well of insipid football phraseology just so many…

WTF? Was there a recent domestic airline disaster I didn’t hear about?

Looks like Butters wearing his Captain Chaos mask.

“The guaranteed compensation, with no performance aspect to it, seems excessive bordering on avaricious”... says a guy whose fortune is built on the “hard arithmetic” that dictates brain damaged individuals are an acceptable part of the cost of doing business. That’s year in and year out, and nowadays it’s…

It dawns on me I’ve been a bit of a hypocrite where Michael Vick is concerned. Leastwise, for the first time I understand the enjoyment some people derive in watching two dogs fight.

It’s astonishing how quickly those Hollywood guys biting the dust woke up one morning into a world they had never known. The nearest feeling to it, I can only imagine, is how I felt when I realized Donald Trump had been elected- everything changed in the blink of an eye, and I felt shell shocked.

There’s another angle to the story that’s being under reported, and it’s the fact Josh Beckett also gave the crowd a thumbs-up as the cops led him away... which most people couldn’t see only because his hands were in cuffs. It was good to see him flash the same old spirit that once got him to the bigs. It will soon…

To #8's credit, his shoes remained on his feet. That he managed to keep them on is a testament to his athleticism.
