From Ian O’Connor, ESPN New York Since Alex Rodriguez isn’t doing anything on the baseball field during the playoffs so far, Ian O’Connor and the rest of the New York media are focused on Rodriguez’s misinterpretation of “Ball So Hard.” If you missed it, and don’t feel like clicking the link, apparently Rodriguez sent a … Read more

Texas Rangers’ slugger Josh Hamilton homered four times last night against the Baltimore Orioles, tying a major league record in his team’s 10-3 win Tuesday. To put it in perspective, Hamilton drove in eight of his team’s 10 runs. Wow… just, wow. But Hamilton’s exploits weren’t even the most amazing part of last night. Nope, … Read more

From ESPN News Services Talk about a rocky start for the New York Jets’ new back-up quarterback/deity Tim Tebow, who got the “Santa Claus in Philadelphia” or the “Jerry Sandusky on a School Playground” treatment at Yankee Stadium yesterday evening as he was booed incessantly by New York faithful.

by Justin Cherot While sitting on the couch sick out of my mind and watching I Love You, Man, I came to the stunning realization that I haven’t posted anything since the Miami Heat were winless.

by Colin Donohue Here are some quick hitters from the sports world today. I’d say, “Here’s what I’m burnin’ on,” but that would implicitly endorse Jim Rome as some kind of consequential sports analyst. The dude is a joke and, at this point, a parody of himself. What a clown. So I ain’t burnin’ on … Read more

By Justin “The Birthday Boy” Cherot It’s a little past 2 AM, and yet today has already been a relatively busy day. Most importantly, at 12 AM Eastern Standard time, I became the youngest-looking 27-year-old man on the planet. To celebrate, I tried to go see 500 Days of Summer. The gentleman asked for my … Read more

Here are a few quick thoughts I’ve been tossing around for a few days. It’s fun to watch Tiger Woods when he’s hot. I don’t watch a lot of PGA golf because I typically don’t find it that compelling. I know. It’s probably ignorant of me to make such an assertion. But really, to me, … Read more

by Justin Cherot Perfection is usually hyperbole that gets used far too often. Even if you say something like, “Oh, it’s a perfect day outside”, more than likely the whole day wasn’t perfect. At some points inevitably it was either a little too windy, a little too hot, or there were a couple patches during … Read more
