D-Bag of the Week for 28/09/09

Published on: 30th September, 2009

You just have to feel sorry for the Cleveland Browns fans…easily some of the most rabid, educated, passionate fans in the NFL.  Or any league for that matter.
Their once-proud franchise has quickly become one of the laughing-stocks in the league, down there with the Rams and Lions.
And now their turd of a head coach is [...]

Published on: 30th September, 2009

This has to rank up there as one of the worst promotion ideas ever…right up there with Disco Demolition night and new Coke.

How do [...]

Mike Blowers Channels his Inner Kreskin

Published on: 29th September, 2009

Part of the inane chatter that goes on during the always-tedious pregame show usually involves your typical in-game match-ups, key players and broadcaster’s predictions.
At best they’re mildly entertaining…at worst, they’re like being stuck at a Matthew McConaughey movie festival.
Then there’s Mike Blowers, former third baseman and broadcaster for the Seattle Mariners,  who was asked who [...]

An All-Around Crappy Sunday for T.O.

Published on: 28th September, 2009

Look, I get it…Terrell Owens is an ego-maniacal asshole, who, at one point or another, will blow-up and throw everyone in the organization under the bus.
And maybe he deserves all most of the shit that gets dumped on him by ex-teammates, fans, and the media.
But yesterday was too much, even for a douchebag like Owens.
First [...]

This cute kid is Nate Johns, fourth-grader at Van Buren Elementary in Baldwinsville, New York.  And he’s quite obviously a New York Yankees fan.
So much so that he decided to wear his CC Sabathia shirt to school.
No problem, right?
Wrong.
Seems his teacher, Peter Addabbo, is a displaced Boston Red Sox fan, and for whatever reason took [...]

It’s the end of September, which means that a number of teams, including the Toronto Blue Jays, are engaging in meaningless games in front of hundreds of disinterested fans.
For anyone even remotely following Canada’s only baseball franchise, it’s been painfully obvious for some time that general manager J.P. Ricciardi has to go.
Hell, even he realizes [...]
