The phrase “fight like a man” comes to mind after watching Kalib Starnes “fight” Nate Quarry in the Ultimate Fighting Championship middleweight battle. This fight resembled something more like a Tom and Jerry cartoon that a mixed martial arts battle. Starnes spent most of the evening running from Quarry and lost unanimously. Starnes was booed [...]

Do these pants make my butt look big?
Athletes are becoming a little to feminine for my liking…and I’m a girl.
I couldnt believe my eyes when I saw catcher Jorge Posada having his nails painted by a trainer in the dugout. Yes, I know he was doing it so the pitcher could see the signs. But be a man. Put a piece of [...]

The Lighter Side of Baseball
This isn’t so much a blog entry…it’s a video I felt I must share with the world (or at least the 3 people who read this). Enjoy.

Roger Clemens has four sons: Koby, Kory, Kacy, and Kody – all given [...]

Wear a damn bicycle helmet! (please)
When I was 10 years old I had a bad bicycle accident. I had a mouth full of blood and broken teeth and road-burn covering 70% of my body. But thank the Lord, I was wearing a helmet, or I wouldn’t be writing this right now.
So why isn’t there a federal law in the United States [...]

For the love of the Red Sox
I should never have put a Red Sox player on my fantasy team.
As if it’s not bad enough that I get frustrated when they are doing poorly for the Red Sox, now I am twice as angry because I am offcially in last place in my damn league.
Thank you David Ortiz for being 1 for [...]
