This will be a little recap of all the things in the sports world that might catch my fancy from week to week. It will concentrate heavily on baseball, football, hockey, and of course all things Mets. I will attempt to be moderately humorous. Failures to elicit a laugh will of course be the reader's fault for not getting my unique and brilliant sense of humor.
Above is a clip from the September 28th Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Skip to 2:25 for Stewart making fun of the Mets. Or watch the whole thing because he's a funny, funny man and you need to smile and laugh sometimes if you root for the Mets. As a side note, the standings are total bullshit. The Mets would be WAY better than .500 at home if for no other reason than the travel fatigue alone! Also, I'm pretty sure the team hasn't gone 7-3 over a 10 game stretch in about 3 years.
Every now and again you come across a headline that is too good not to share. In many cases you will be one of a select few who actually clicks on the link because it's an article about a retired hockey coach and Americans hate hockey more than they hate Muslims. Anyway, the headline of the article found here has the title, "Pat Burns sets record straight". Perusing the article, you find Burns felt the need to let the world know
that he's still very much alive, despite reports and thousands of tweets suggesting otherwise.
The former NHL coach, who is battling cancer, called TSN of Canada hockey columnist Bob McKenzie on Friday after seeing reports of his death at age 58.
HOLE LEE SHIT! You mean to tell me that in the Internet Age we still need to bop a guy over the head with a frying pan to toss him onto the wheelbarrow? Here's to hoping that Burns adopted a British accent when he called his buddy at TSN.
I was born and raised on sports. My parents used to put me to sleep in front of the TV watching Red Sox games. This probably explains my deep-seated hatred for the American League.
I was reared on hockey and baseball, but found myself forced to learn about football due to this nation's inability to pay attention to anything for longer than 8 seconds.
