Oh, So That's What Happened to Hideki Irabu

Hideki Irabu was found dead, an apparent suicide in a home in Rancho Palos Verdes, a wealthy Los Angeles suburb. It is being reported that he hung himself.

If you can remember Hideki Irabu was basically the Yankees Dice-K (even called the Japanese Nolan Ryan). It was a huge deal when he came over, and he ended up being the worst pitcher ever (34-35 with a 5.15 ERA). Then it took a hysterical turn as not only was he bad, but George Steinbrenner used to refer to him as a fat toad.

He was a member of two Yankees teams that won the World Series, but his only postseason action was a single relief appearance in the 1999 AL Championship Series when Boston tagged him for 13 hits.

After he fell out of the majors Irabu's life feel apart. In August 2008, he was arrested in Japan for allegedly assaulting a bartender after drinking 20 mugs of beer. Police said he became angered after his credit card was rejected. In May 2010, Irabu was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of alcohol in Gardena, another Los Angeles suburb. Police said he was stopped after his car drifted outside of traffic lanes and he nearly collided with a parked car.

So, it's pretty obvious he had some kind of drinking problem, and it finally came to an end. I wish I could say there are some good memories of him, but the only good thing I can say is it was always entertaining to watch him as a Red Sox fan.

Jalen Rose Going To Jail

A Michigan judge has sentenced former NBA guard Jalen Rose to serve 20 days in jail for a drunken driving crash along a snowy suburban Detroit road in March (sentenced actually to 92 days overall, with all but 72 days suspended, he also gets 1 year probabtion).

I usually going on a whole rant about how he is rich and should've got someone else to drive, which is damn true, but you know how I feel about that, so I will just give Jalen a little credit.

He admitted what he did, and even old the officer that he had six martinis that might, and pleaded guilty to the charge. 20 days in jail sucks, but it could've been worse and I hope ESPN doesn't fire him over this. He admitted what he did, he is going to serve his time and should be allowed to move on with his life once he has.

Serial Butt Stabber On The Loose In Virginia, BMack Brought In To Be Questioned

One man may be responsible for slashing at least five women on the butt, according to Fairfax County police.

In the most recent attack, an 18-year-old woman was shopping at Forever 21 inside the Fair Oaks Mall at 5:30 p.m. Monday when she was distracted by clothing falling over. She told police that she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her butt and realized she'd been cut through her denim shorts with a box cutter or razor.

The atttacks began in February. In each attack, the victims have been women in their late teens or early 20s at retail stores. In each case, the stabbing follows some sort of distraction.

Before the victim realizes what has happened, the attacker has calmly walked away without creating a scene, police said. More

I would have thought this was BMack immediately, however, the guy stabs girl butts, BMack is only down with stabbing guys butts. He's tried to slash my ass so many times, fortunately I'm just too quick. The Captain and Jesus on the other hand have all been Butt Stabbed by Bob.

But in all seriousness, what the fuck is up with this guy. I'm a butt guy so any tme someone ruins a nice butt it's a travesty. Imagine if he ruined the next JLO, Beyonce or Kim Kardashian butt. Someone needs to stop this guy before he does some serious damage.

Is Mass Serious With This Biking Stuff?

Due to a scheduling conflict, the launch of the city’s new bike-sharing program has been moved to 11 a.m. Thursday at City Hall Plaza. Hubway, a program that will bring 610 bicycles to about 60 rental kiosks around the city, was originally scheduled to launch yesterday. On Thursday, registered Hubway members and employees of companies sponsoring the program will ride 200 of the silver bicycles to 12 of the Hubway kiosks. Hubway has also announced the prices for its casual membership: becoming a 24-hour member costs $5, and signing on to the program for three days costs $12. Annual membership costs $85, though there is a special introductory rate of $60 until the end of July. Rentals of up to half an hour are covered by the membership fee. Boston.com

This program cost about 2 million dollars to fund and you know what? It's not going to work, they try these programs everywhere and they never work. You know why? Because people or kids will end up just stealing and demolishing the bikes. They tried this at URI once when I was there and you know what happened, they were set on fire, stolen or driven into the lake.

Also, this is just going to piss me off more when I drive, the thing I hate the most is when I have to yield to a bike on a busy road. Everytime I have to share the road with a bicyclist I feel like committing murder. They say, this is going to make it so there is less traffic, which is bullshit, it's only 600 bikes, but I would rather deal with bumper to bumper traffic over dealing with 20 more bikes on my commute.

Stupid idea mass.

Britney Spears Being Sued For Farting

Earlier today, rumors circulated that one of Brit Brit's former (and very briefly employed) bodyguards had lobbed a fresh set of complaints against her, alleging that she engaged in lewd and unhygienic behavior in front of him, including that she blatantly picked her nose, refused to shower, didn't brush her teeth and, the piece de resistant, had a little (OK, a big) gas problem. More

Well even if this isn't true, this probably killed Britney Spears for me. The biggest turnoff for me is having a girl fart. I don't have many standards but a girl farting is the fucking worst. SO if I was this body guard I'm on board with this lawsuit and think she owes him more than 10 million dollars. But from an outsider I also find this hysterical. Imagine being a body guard, having Britney fart on you and be unapologetic. pretty funny.

Boston Voted Worst Dressed City

This is obviously another case of the rest of the countries jealousy towards good old Boston.

Now a days it seems like everyone goes after Beantown with every irrelevant poll, but it's ok, if you don't like our salmon colored polos, boat shoes, hoodies representing all the colleges I resent, mesh shorts, Red Sox hat, Championship T-Shirt for whoever just won, American Eagle, Abercrombie look you can go back to wherever the fuck you came from. Because at the end of the day it's all about comfort ladies and gentleman.

I'd rather my city not know what Ed Hardy is than fucking rock that douche bag jersey shore bullshit. We are a simple folk here in Boston, and if it's not broke don't fix it. We don't rely so much on fashion here because we don't want our clothes to take away from how incredibly good looking we all are. I mean fuck, there should be marble statues created of everyone ever born in Boston if you ask me.

Judge Declares Mistrial In Clemens Prejury Case (UPDATED)

U.S. District Judge Reggie Walton has declared a mistrial in the Roger Clemens perjury case. The reason for this is because the prosecution used inadmissible evidence. That evidence is said to be a video of Clemens' testimony before Congress in 2008.

From what I have read the judge flipped out on the prosecution and then took a recess to think if they the case could continue. He came back later and stated that the case would be declared a mistrial. That doesn't mean Clemens is in any less trouble, but it does mean this is going to linger on, because they are going to have to select a whole new jury and start from scratch.

***UPDATE***

This might have been a bigger mistake then first thought...

"According to ESPN's T.J. Quinn, the court has to decide whether Clemens can be retried or if doing so would be double-jeapordy."

Since There Was No Sports Yesterday

Check out this hotel room at Conrad Maldives Rangali Island, it's underwater and pretty much the coolest thing I have ever seen in my life.

If I went on vacation and had that room, I don't know whether I would be terrified the whole time or love it. There are so many things that could go wrong, like a crack in the glass, snorkelers, and scuba divers, sleeping would be a little hard. However, how cool would it be to wake up and be in a Spongebob Squarepants setting. Pretty sweet.

Hopefully none of the sharks from Deep Blue Sea are around.

Deron Williams Heads To Turkey

Deron Williams is headed to Turkey if their is a lock out in the NBA this season. He signed a deal worth 5 million dollars.

This is the 1st major player signing overseas, and probably will be the 1st of many coming in the next couple of months. It's weird figuring all of these players have options compared to the NFL. I hope everyone that signs a contract has an opt out clause in case the lock out ends.

This same club says Kobe Bryant and them have mutual interest.

Blow-up Sex Doll = 8 Years In Jail

"When 18-year-old Tyell Morton put a blow-up sex doll in a bathroom stall on the last day of school, he didn't expect school officials to call a bomb squad or that he'd be facing up to eight years in prison and a possible felony record.

A janitor at Rushville Consolidated High School saw Morton run away from the school May 31, and security footage showed a person in a hooded sweatshirt and gloves entering the school with a package and leaving five minutes later without it, according to court documents.

Administrators feared explosives, so they locked down the school and called police. K9 dogs and a bomb squad searched the building before finding the sex doll.

Morton was arrested and charged with disorderly conduct, a misdemeanor, and institutional criminal mischief, a felony that carries the potential of two to eight years in prison (MSNBC - Indiana)."

Wow, overreact much?

I can understand the initial response, and I can even understand that they are pissed off at this kid, but suspend him. There is no reason for this kid to have a record/jail time for putting a sex doll in a bathroom stall. These are the types of things that fuck up our generation so much. You fuck up in the slightest and it's on your record for good. Imagine when this kid is applying for a job and he has to try to explain this. He shouldn't even have to, and the fact that the state is going to waste money going after this poor kid is appalling.

This Girl Seems Like A Good Time

DELAWARE, Ohio — A woman faces several charges after she allegedly sprayed deputies with breast milk as they tried to detain her over the weekend.
"When deputies attempted to remove Robinette from the vehicle, she advised the deputies that she was a breast feeding mother and proceeded to remove her right breast from her dress and began spraying deputies and the vehicle with her breast milk," Davis said. www.10tv.com

Well, the only surprising thing about this story is that she wasn't from that shit city Philadelphia. But how ridiculous of a reaction is this, and I didn't even know that this was possible. I mean you can chalk this up as another reason why tits are awesome, they are not only fun but can act as a milk squirt gun at any time. I don't know what my reaction would be if I were one of the officers, it was probably bitter sweet, at first they were probably thinking this is awesome they see a boob and then the next thing you know you get a breast milk bath from this crazy lady.

Whitey Bulger Caught

It's weird, growing up in Dedham and having my grandfather being a Boston cop, you heard stories of Whitey Bulger and him being a huge mob guy in Boston. It almost became a folk tale of him rather than an actual guy. I mean they inspired the movie Departed on the guy.

So hearing that he was caught this morning it was a surreal feeling because the folk tale became a reality. I also never did much research on how bad this guy was too. He murdered a ton of people, knocked their teeth out, cut off their fingers, sold drugs, was the leader of the gang, etc, etc.

To be honest, I was kind of rooting for him. He seemed like such a fictional character that I was hoping one day there would just be reports he died a natural death and that would be the end of it. And for all of you people that say, "but he ruined so many lives and deserves to go to jail." Newsflash, hes 81 years old, in bad health and probably won't make it through the trial.

Cigarette Labels Are Out Of Control

Listen, people need to chill out with these labels. These are going to be the new graphic labels on cigarettes now.

I think everyone now a days including children know cigarettes are awful for you. But America needs to realize, people are going to smoke. It's not a big deal, people are either going to quit or keep smoking, but having these graphic pictures on the packs is going to do nothing to the people who choose to smoke, or if I have a couple of drinks in me at a bar and someone offers me one.

Yea smokes are bad, but people need to chill the fuck out.

I Don't Get This....

I don't get this, I was listening to WEEI and they had a bunch of callers who were Bruins fans saying, "I can't stand all these bandwagon fans, pink hats, I remember Espo and Orr, This is a Hockey Town, Etc." I won't get started on this whole "Sports Town" thing because it seems kinda ridiculous, this town is whoever is winning at the time. Me personally I believe it has to go Red Sox, Celtics, Bruins then Patriots, that's just my opinion and an argument for a later date.

Back to the Pink Hat comment, I'll 100% agree that I am a complete bandwagoner, pink hat, front runner when it comes to hockey, I don't care about it and actually hate the sport when the Bruins aren't in the playoffs or when it's the Olympics. But wouldn't Bruins fans in general embrace that. Everyone who reads this site, knows I'm a giant Celtics fan, and when the Celtics won and everyone became a Celtics fan, not once did I scoff at the notion that more people were fans. I loved it, I loved seeing the sea of green and I loved that the Celtics were the talk of the town. So I don't really get the resentment of having more fans for a sport and team YOU SUPPORT.

You know what pink hats mean? It means your team is winning, it means the revenue your team is making goes, it means you can have a parade a million people want to see. Out of my friends there is really only one person who was a true Bruins fan, The Captain and that's because he stuck through them when the ownership sucked, when they were giving away players, when they charging an arm and a leg for tickets and not willing to spend money to justify charging that much. And although I haven't heard his opinion on the pink hats I'm pretty sure he felt the same way I did when the Celtics won.

So for all you Bruins fans that feel the need to prove that you were there during the down times, and feel the need to defend yourself as a fan. Shut the fuck up and enjoy the fact that the Bruins are the talk of the town for the first time in 40 years.

RIP Ryan Dunn

"Jackass" star Ryan Dunn died this morning in a car crash in Pennsylvania, reports TMZ. He had just turned 34 on June 11th.

The site says "Dunn and an unidentified person both died in the crash which happened around 3 a.m. at Route 322 and New Street in West Goshen Township. It's unclear who was driving the car. We're told the car caught fire in the crash -- and hours later, a tow truck was called to the scene to remove the charred wreckage."

Dunn, who appeared in both the "Jackass" TV show and movies, had posted a photo of himself drinking with friends on Twitter just hours before his death (ComingSoon.net)."

Sad news, he was one of my favorites on that show. I am actually surprised more that that cast hasn't died yet, and if we were doing a pool on who would get it first this guy wouldn't be anywhere near the top. Jackass was amazing, sure as it went on it kinda got sad that they were still doing it, but no one can say they didn't enjoy that show in it's heyday.

The pic above is the one he tweeted just hours before the deadly crash.

Vancouver Staying Classy

First they bite, then they cheap shot, then they burn their own city down. Vancouver burns their city down for the 2nd time following a Canucks loss.

Anyone who says, "Why would someone burn down their own City" is a fucking moron. Have you ever rioted? It's like the funnest thing you can do. Complete chaos.

Shaq's Retirement Plan: The Crips?

We all have been wondering what Shaq will do now that he had retired. Some thing he will hang low and maybe comeback for the playoffs next year (me), others think he will be be back on TV on TNT or something like that. None of would've guessed this...

"According to TMZ.com, Shaq is in the middle of a robbery, sex tape and kidnapping situation.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ ... Ladell Rowles -- a member of the Main Street Mafia Crip Gang in L.A. who is friends with Shaq -- along with 6 other members went on a search and destroy mission in L.A. on February 11, 2008. They believed a man named Robert Ross had the sex tape and they tried getting it back with the help of a gun or two.

According to the police report, the seven gang members met up with Ross at a convenience store -- Pink Dot -- on the Sunset Strip. The men allegedly surrounded Ross' Rolls Royce Phantom with guns drawn, jumped into Ross' car and ordered him to drive to Rowles' house in South Central L.A.

Once there, Rowles allegedly pistol whipped Ross and demanded that he turn over the sex tape. Ross said he would get the tape and bring it back to them. The seven men then allegedly took Ross' Rolex, diamond chain and earrings, along with $15,000 in cash -- then let Ross go.

The seven men have been arrested and charged with robbery, kidnapping and other crimes. They are currently in the middle of a preliminary hearing and being held in jail.

We've learned LAPD detectives interviewed Shaq to determine what, if any, involvement he had in the alleged crimes. When the case file went to the D.A. Shaq was not listed as a suspect (TMZ)."

Wow, didn't see that coming. I had no idea that Shaq had ties to the "crips", but then again it's not like TMZ is known for their accuracy in news story. I obviously hope he had nothing to do with this, because it would really destroy how I viewed him. Also, a Shaq sex tape it one of the scariest thing I think of. No one needs to see "The Diesel" going to town on some chick. I would think it would be a lot like a lion raping a guinea pig.

Aaron Rodgers Is The Next Puff Daddy

(I wonder if Aaron Rodgers has seen this picture)
When Aaron Rodgers isn't getting bummed by Bob and Smack he is keeping himself busy this strike ridden off-season by creating a record label called Suspended Sunrise Recordings.

He's working with a band called The Make that has roots in Chico. They shot their first-ever video Sunday at a bowling alley in Paradise.

I tried to find a youtube song for them, but couldn't so I don't know if they are any good. However, I really hope this work, because I would love to see a Superbowl winning qb (and a white guy), be awesome at something off the field too. Especially since it always seems like every athlete who tried to make a transition into music fail.

In Regards To The Captain Being Dumb

Every time I turn my back, the haters come out to say hi. And as I was relaxing on a little vacation I go on Dueling Couches to see that the Captain and his miserable self decided to pull a chicken shit move and attack when I couldn't respond. So let me go point by point to shut the Captain up.

1. Hockey is better than basketball. The game is better. The players are more athletic. (Captain)

This is just another case of the Captains inferior complex to basketball, the Celtics, basketball fans. I understand how someone could believe Hockey is better and that's fine, but calling it a "better" sport is ridiculous. The reason why Hockey isn't a better sport is because only probably 25-30% of America can afford to play it. You need to buy skates, ice time, pads, helmets, etc. Hockey is a small step above lacrosse, it's all rich kids who couldn't compete in the more reasonable people sports or Canadians.

Also, Hockey is a snoozefest, call me when there isn't a 3-2 or a 1-0 game. Playing keep away for 3 periods sucks. Way to go, you try to score passed someone who takes up 70% of the net.

As for the "athlete" argument, Basketball players play for more than minute, fifteen shifts. If you took the average player from each sport and had them compete in athletic events like run, jump, lift a basketball player would win 9 out of 10 times.

2. Daisuke sucks. His 18 win season was luck. He's never been a true member of the Red Sox, he only cares about what's good for him and not what's good for the team. He's been allowed to do his own thing, and his career has been plagued by injuries because of that. There's no such thing as a gyroball. (Captain)

18 wins and a under 3 era playing in the AL East isn't luck. Having a career record of +20 wins isn't lucky. Winning a World Series game isn't lucky. When the Sox started fucking around with his own routine, that's when he started getting injured. As for the gyroball, you might be right.

3. The Perkins trade was a mistake.(Captain)

So knowing both results from each team, how could one say this. Perkins pretty much cost the Thunder from advancing in the playoffs with his lack of scoring. The Celtics weren't going to advance passed the Heat with a unhealthy Rondo if Perkins was or wasn't on the team. And looking at it now, we at least have Jeff Green and the Clippers 2012 1st draft pick, if we had Perkins we would have had none of that, including Kendrick.

4. Ben Roethlisberger is a rapist. He got away with rape because of a misogynist cop who had befriended Ben earlier in the night, and because he surrounded himself with off-duty cops from PA. He wasn't an idiot to go to that bar, because he was smart enough to protect himself.

Oh, and Tom Brady is much better than Roethlisberger. (Captain)

For someone who pulls the "DP obviously nows more than the Patriots and Bill Belichick" everytime the Patriots do something boneheaded, he does an awful lot of assuming when it comes to Ben. The Captain wasn't there that night, I wasn't, and no one reading this site was, So all you can really do is base the final verdict or a lack of one. Ben never got charged, thus he didn't do anything wrong. And As for saying Brady is much better than Ben, Ben can win playoff games, Brady just works on his salsa lessons from his husband Gisele.

5. College football players shouldn't get paid. USC and Ohio State are SCHOOLS. Athletes get plenty of benefits when they attend these schools. Paying people to attend one's college is wrong.(Captain)

This argument is going to take long, but obviously the Captain likes fucking 18-21 year old kids who make the schools millions of dollars.

6. Barry Bonds is a cheat, a liar, a clubhouse cancer, and a scumbag. He hates Boston, he hates baseball fans. Any Boston fan that likes him is misguided. (captain)

Again, he goes with the assumption arguement when it comes to people he doesn't like. There is no actual evidence against Bonds other than mere speculation. He was the greatest baseball player in the modern era and should be treated like that. And I don't think scumbags pay for college for injured fans children, so how about you revisit your accusations.

7. Rex Ryan is an overrated, walking (waddling) reality TV show who likes sniffing feet and putting videos of his wife on the internet for everyone to see. And any Boston fan who likes a team from New Jersey, even if they hate the local football team, is a traitor.(Captain)

Speaking from someone who feels the need to put down the Celtics/ Celtics fans at any drop of the hat. I hate the Patriots and Rex Ryan can win some games. He backs up his talk and going to 2 conference finals in your 1st 2 years of coaching with a mediocre qb is pretty damned impressive. He doesn't need to win pretty, or run the score up during the regular season, he just wins when it counts. Something they haven't been able to say in New England for the past couple of years.

Oh yea, I forgot:
Hideo Nomo is not the Japanese Jackie Robinson.

If that's the case, explain this:

and Boom goes the dynamite

Barry Bonds Is The Man

Not only is Barry Bonds the guilt free home run king and best player to ever play baseball, but he has a heart of gold. Despite the media's effort to make Bonds the villain and downplay everything right he does, Bonds has been the first in line in helping out the family of severely beaten Bryan Stow (the Giants fan that was nearly beaten to death outside a Dodgers game). Barry Bonds has agreed to pay for both of Stows kids college tuition, 12-year-old Tyler and 8-year-old Tabitha.

It sucks that the media and stupid half wit fans painted such a bad picture of Bonds because this story is right up there with the best of them. It's unlikely that Stow makes a full recovery and the man who beat him is caught and has 1 million dollar bail.
