Stay Classy Fenway

How could you even debate whether this would happen? Even the pink hats have the savvy to know their roll when a legend comes back home. Hopefully Theo wakes the F' up and snags Nomes from the A's at the trade deadline. The excitement alone from Fenway reaction to bringing Nomar back would carry the Sox to another World Series victory. Thanks Beautiful!


P.S. Suck it Lucchino

America F@#k YEAH!

What a weekend for USA. There were highs like Joey Chestnuts record setting victory over arch rival Kobayashi. It was impressive but pretty unappetizing to watch. But, anytime the US beats Japan it is a great time all around. On the low end Andy Roddick lost again to Roger Fedderer in a match for the ages. I don't even follow tennis and I was watching this one finding myself rooting for Andy. What does he have to do to beat Roger? I mean even Booklyn can't take that pain away. Then came the really really lows like the loss of Steve McNair who will be missed as a class act in the NFL.

The really great news was 6 Red Sox getting elected to the All-Star game including a well deserved first time nod for Timmy. But, the greatest news of all was Sheed getting the full court press from the "New" Big Three. Somewhere Bennett Salvatore is getting his Technical Foul signals polished and shined up with a shit eating grin on his face.

This is Big MJ Big

I've been waiting for something to write about for the past couple weeks. Something big. Something really really big. Ed McMahon was big, but MJ's death is HUGE! This guy made Pop music. Not the watered down bastardized stuff you hear pumped out month after month these days but real relevant POP. If you needed a really huge huge hit in the 80's and early 90's then MJ was your man. I mean was there a more polarizing icon from the 80's and early 90's bigger than Michael Jackson? You'd be kidding yourself if you thought anyone was bigger. Unfortunately the pressure of fame took some of his best years from us.

It will be hard to explain to my kids how big MJ was. I guess it wasn't easy for my dad to explain the Beatles to me, but I somehow got it with MJ. The guy was huge, young boys aside. In honor of MJ's passing I'm just going to bring the noise the beautiful beautiful noise. Here are some of my all time favorite MJ hits.

Dirty DiAnna! - Enough said.


They Don't Care About Us - Great Drums!
Underrated 90's MJ. This song could have caused a social uprising in America. Unfortunately politically correct uptight pricks put the heat on MJ for the controversial lyrics.


Smooth Criminal - Had it's own movie and video game. Which I watched and played religiously. Nice work by Joe Pesci too.


Billie Jean - is probably MJ's most memorable video other than Thriller or Beat It. You have to love the glowing sidewalks squares. This is what every music video producer hopes to attain just once in their career a flawless video.

Shout out to BAD , Wesley Snipes, and the dude on the roller skates. This video just speaks to the awesome level MJ took video choreography to. You know you wish you had half the dance moves.

Another great video and song, for that matter, to get people dancing is The Way You Make Me Feel. I mean you put this on and panties drop period.

R.I.P. King of Pop. Eh WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Act Like You've Been There Before

You Stay Classy Los Angeles!

If the Lakers win and there's no parade did their Championship ever happen???

Toying With The Yanks

Yankee fan time to panic? And I thougth this might be the most entertaining early season Yankee vs. Sox series of the past 5 years. Huh. This is getting pathetic. Give em the cheese Paps.

It Takes Two To Make It Outta Sight

Does it get any better than the last couple weeks of Beckett and Lester? I mean the Sox have had some dangerous pitching duos in the past most notably Pedro/Schilling, but never have I seen two guys dominate and go out there and perform the way they should every start no matter the opponent. These guys actually bring it harder the tougher the lineup.

Sure it was a shaky start to April for both, but as the mercury has risen so have the strike outs and shutout innings. It seems like the last few starts for each guy you can count on a possible no-no or 20 K performance. I mean is it possible to have two Aces? As Sox fans we need to count our lucky stars that the days of loading up on over-the-hill sluggers is over and the front office has caught on to the "pitching wins championships" theory. I mean I used to be jealous that the Yankees had the Clemens, Pettite, Cone, Wells, etc. during their big runs. Why couldn't the Sox do that. It was obvious then and has now become the reality that the Sox have become the premier franchise in baseball. With the likes of Beckett and Lester and the emergence of Masterson, Bard, and Bowden the future looks bright. I'm just basking in the dominant sunshine that is the Sox rotation right now.

Bottom Line the Sox have too much pitching and you can't beat the Balls on the duo of Beckett and Lester. Sorry C.C. Sabathia and Burnett ain't cutting it Cashman try and explain it to your headwarmer.

NFL Now 25% More Safe

With the news of Rodney Harrison's retirement a lot of opposing WR can't help but breath a sigh of relief. Granted Rodney was often injured over the past few seasons you can't help but feel the NFL will be 25% more safe for opposing pass catchers and quarterbacks this year. Just ask Vince Young who hasn't been the same since this hit, which took place in a preseason game.

As a fan of the Pats the acquisition of Rodney was a bitter sweet moment, but it has been a blessing from the start. Rodney replaced arguably one of the best safeties in the Patriots short history in Lawyer Milloy. Milloy was also Brady's closest friend on the team. While it hurt to lose Milloy, Rodney soon made us forget about him and brought a new edge to the Pats legendary defenses of the 2004-05 Superbowl winning Patriots teams. He could cover deep or jam the line of scrimmage and deliver a game changing hit on the opposing QB. He was basically one of the first hybrid strong safeties in the league. A short list that included most notably Rodney Lott. Rodney was every bit as tough playing in the 2004 Superbowl with a broken forearm for a couple of plays before being pulled out of the game. He always had a knack for making the big play in big moments. Evidence being the 2005 Superbowl where he intercepted McNabbs pass on the Eagles final drive and immediately went into flapping his wings. Injuries however had diminished his speed and coverage ability over the past few years. But he still gave it all on every play. Just take the David Tyree miracle catch in the 2008 Superbowl. Rodney did everything legal and illegal to keep that pass from being a completion. There was only so much he could do in the end to stop the luckiest catch in history. Hopefully he'll be remembered for more than that catch. I like to remember his crazy suplex of an opposing player in his Chargers days.

After a great career there are many titles that describe Rodney: Dirtiest player in the league, most fined in NFL history, gritty veteran, and most doubted player in NFL history. But, ultimately his place in the books is written and he'll go down as one of the greatest strong safeties to ever suite up in the history of the game. He's one of the last throw back safeties a gritty, hard nosed, and lethal weapon he played the game the right way. Dirty player? I say the game was meant to be played DIRTY!

Thank you Rodney!

I think MTV just lost a fan

So, Eminem won't be bailing out MTV anytime soon. I guess that's what happens when you treat your biggest artist as "the butt of the joke".

Probably the most random WTF moment on live TV since The Boob, JT, and Janet at the Superbowl* with a little more hair.

*Just for the record: Pats would go on to win that game, the second best Superbowl game I've ever seen behind Pats v. Rams.

The Greatest Words That Have Ever Been Spoken...EVER!

If you're a Pats fan these are the greatest words you've ever heard. If you're a fan, player, or coach of any other NFL franchise, Look The F' Out!

"What would I do instead of run out in front of 80,000 people and command 52 guys and be around guys I consider brothers and be one of the real gladiators? Why would I ever want to do anything else? It’s so hard to think of anything that would match what I do: Fly to the moon? Jump out of planes? Bungee-jump off cliffs? None of that s— matters to me. I want to play this game I love, be with my wife and son, and enjoy life.” - (Peter King) si.com
