Selig Needs To Go

Selig has to be the worst commissioner in sports. He has been the head of the MLB during the whole steroid thing and yet somehow got a bye. You really think he didn't know what was going on? But let's forget all that and just look at what he has been doing lately.

We can start with the All-Star Game. The least important game of the season decides who gets home field advantage in the most important series of the year. The game means so little that players don't even show up. In a 162 games season, who can blame them? That's not even adding spring training and the playoffs (if they are lucky). Just doesn't make any sense. Did anyone really give a shit about this game last night? I know I should because it "means something", but I just don't.

Selig has also been the leader during a time in the MLB when more then 10 teams are in serious debt. Sure the times are tough, but can anyone sit here and say that baseball has lost ground to a lot of other sports? I could make the argument that not only the NFL has passed it, but the NBA as well. Why is this happening? Some of it is uncontrollable. Sports go through their up and downs, but baseball has it's way of making the games more appealing and never want to change (pitch clock, 1 mound visit per inning, no leaving batters box, ect). People don't want to sit through a 4 1/2 hour game. I mean I don't mind, but the average fan will not stand for it anymore.

On top of that he never got control of player contracts. Why the hell is anyone making 25 million a year when a team is losing money. That's foolish. Why is there no salary cap? Why is their no spending minimum? Also... Foolish.

Bottom line is Selg should've been gone after the whole steroid mess, but even if we for whatever give him a pass for all that, what has he done that's been good for the game? The Wild Card teams, that's about it (and there should actually be another one).

Fuck Selig.

Sports Terms I Have Come To Hate

There is really shit to write about. It's either this or a Jon Lester post, which can be summed up by this. He won't be out a long time, but will be after All-Star break. Ok, good... Here is a list of sports terms I have come to hate...

- "Swagger" - I know it's not just a sports term, but I know DP agree with me on this one. It's so overused, and now I cringe every time I hear it.

- "Puck Moving Defenseman" - Yea, Kaberle basically killed it for me. It's hard not to say at times, but it still bothers me. Shouldn't they all be able to move the puck? I mean passing really isn't all that hard. Also, every time I hear this now I just think it's some pussy who can't hit, once again... Thanks Kaberle.

- "He catches the ball with his hands" - Are you fucking serious? If you play football and you don't catch with your hands you are either a blocking TE, or an offensive lineman. No shit they catch with their hands, kill yourself.

- "We're taking it one game at a time" - Ugh... No shit.

- Anything with "God" - A player thanking God, or saying "God was on our side" is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I am going to leave alone whether or not there is a God, but if there is do you really think he is rooting for one team or another? And if so why you? Fuck that, it's sports cut it out.

- "Defense wins championships" - Can we stop with this in the NFL yet? Sure you need a defense, but it's an offensive game now.

- "He's a football player" - Actually I laugh every time Gruden says it, but he has to be in on the joke... right? I mean you are calling an NFL game I think I can deduce by my self that the guy is probably a football player.

- "You can put it on the board!" and " "He gone!" - Sorry K, but basically anything that comes out of White Sox play by play guy (Ken Harrelson) mouth. He has to be the worst of all time. Every time the White Sox hit a HR he yells "You can put it on the board!" and then yells YES a couple times. And every strikeout with "He gone" drives me fucking nuts. Fuck that guy.

- "He's a pitchers' pitcher" - So he throws soft and is probably going to get lit up any game now. Thanks.

I know there are a shit load more, but that's all I got for now.

I Hate NL Baseball

Interleague play time. Which means pitchers hitting. Maybe it's because I've grown up in an AL town, but I really can't stand watching pitchers hit. I like watching Major League Baseball to see the best ballplayers do what they do best. I want to see the best hitters hit, and the best pitchers pitch. I don't want to see hitters pitching so why would I want to see pitchers hit?

I don't get why the NL doesn't catch up to the AL and implement a DH. I don't get people who defend pitchers hitting. Sure DHs can be fat, lethargic, and even unathletic. But is watching them hit a single less entertaining than watching a pitcher whiff on an 88 MPH fastball?

What's the appeal of pitchers hitting? Strategy? If I wanted to see strategy, I'd watch a Risk tournament.

And what's wrong with adding more offense? Is the biggest part of All-Star weekend the Bunt Derby or the Home Run Derby?

And what about investing millions of dollars in a pitcher, then risking their arms at the plate and their legs on the basepaths.

Pitchers hitting is antiquated and boring. Other sports have special sets of rules for special positions. In hockey, for instance, if a goalie commits a penalty, he DOESN'T go to the penalty box. Someone goes in his place.

It's just stupid to have two sets of rules for two halves of baseball. It's stupid to have guys who are paid to pitch, train to pitch, and spend their entire lives pitching to have to stand up at the plate and bad .115.

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.

GOD DAMMIT! FUCK YOU LEBRON

Motherfucking Bulls blowing a motherfucking 12 point lead with motherfucking 3 minutes left. What the fuck do you think you are doing. All they fucking did was build the fucking legend of fucking Lebron fucking James. Derrick Rose what the fuck man, your the MVP and you gave us that shit bum fucking performance. You and the Bulls are a fucking embarrassment to life. Oh yea, sweet signing of Carlos Boozer I haven't seen anyone more defensively inept since Vin fucking Baker played on the Celtics drunk. I swear that signing was the worst thing that came out of last year. I would rather have Antoine Walkers broke ass out there than seeing you on the fucking bench during crunch time. My god. Now we are all hoping and praying that Dirk can stay on fucking fire and lose his fucking choking ways, because I swear to God if I have to watch LeBron fucking James say a victory speech I'm going to shoot myself in the fucking head. Seriously, I would rather fucking die then see that self absorbed, ego maniac, douchebag be happy.

Die

(waited 2 minutes came back because I still needed to get stuff off my chest)

Oh yea, Fuck ESPN, it burns a hole in my soul everytime they show this guy on the fucking television. yea he's been playing great, yea he's been clutch. He won the Eastern Conference Finals, not the Finals yet. Lets stop praising him like the Heat have won anything, it's fucking ridiculous. Today LeBron ruined any type of sports show for me, ESPn as a whole, and reading any other site than this and my fucking fantasy league. Good dammit I fucking hate him.

Die

Die

Mike Freeman Is A Fucking Moron

Mike Forman is a writer for CBS Sports. I have read his bullshit for a couple of years now, but today I've finally had enough. Here is a part of his "article" today...

"There is just one way to end this ugly, messy drama that's been happening in the NFL for two long months. Just one--White House intervention.

I know, I know. This is what you're going to say. President Obama and his staff have bigger issues like, oh, I don't know, a still faltering economy. Football is a tiny morsel compared to what's on the plate of an American president. But I'd argue football is vital to the American psyche (and doesn't exactly hurt the economy when it's in full swing) and is worthy of a presidential sitdown.

Obama could get this solved in two days. Three tops. He'd pull these stubborn egos in the Oval Office, put on his Cutler jersey, get the Secret Service to bolt the doors, and keep them in place until a deal was struck. It'd be the easiest negotiation Obama ever did (CBS Sports)."

When he wrote "Obama and his staff have bigger issues" he should've just stopped. There is no reason that the President of the United States needs to get involved in the NFL, and to try to prove your point by saying "football is vital to the American psyche" is fucking laughable. You know what is vital to American psyche? Jobs. I am not going to get all political, but to sit here and say that the NFL lockout is a pressing issue in America makes me sick. As much as I love sports there is just no reason that they should be wasting their time with this. I was pissed when they did the whole steroid thing, and I am one of the guys that loves that everyone was getting busted. Focus on what's important like jobs, gas prices, wars, terrorist, and leave the NFL to the players, owners, and fans.

Fuck you Mike Freeman the fact you get paid to write that bullshit makes me understand why this country wastes so much money.

Ok, It's Time Someone Ripped Troy Murphy

Remember back a couple weeks ago when we all were excited that Troy Murphy was joining the team? We excused the first couple games, because he "needed to get in shape". Sorry, that is no longer an excuse, and you can tell that Doc is giving up on him more and more. Here are his stats over the past 4 games...

vs. Memphis: 0 points, 0 assists, 0 rebs, 2 turnovers, 4 mins
@ New York: 0 points, 0 assists, 1 rebs, 1 turnover, 2 mins
@ New Orleans: Did not play
@ Houston: 2 points, 1 assist, 3 rebs, 2 turnovers, 15 mins

Lets add all that up. In 21 mins of play he has 2 points, 1 assist, 4 rebs, 5 turnovers.

Mr. Murphy kill yourself. You are the only player on the Celtics that instead of being on the court the Celtics would be better off playing a man down. We chose this guy over Leon Powe, who did more last night then Murphy has done in a Celtics uniform. I can't stand this guy anymore. Every time I see him I just want to punch him in the face. I would rather have Mo Pete, then this piece of shit, no talent ass clown. What does he do for us? He certainly doesn't hit shots, play defense, or rebound. He is just an empty body. Sure when Shaq, and Jermaine come back there will be no reason to play him, but when the Celtics had a chance to add someone who could give you quality minutes we added this bag of sand. When Shaq does return I think they shouldn't allow Murphy on the bench. He's bad for team morale, I mean would you want to look at his stupid useless face every time you go to the bench? I wouldn't. It would just make me think, "damn we could've had Leon Powe".

After every Celtics game I am going to post his stats. Plus, my "anger meter". It's hard not to put it at 100% already, but I'll be nice.

BMack's hatred for Troy Murphy meter: 86%

I think when I hit 100% I might have to kill him.

David Stern Is A Punk

"Magic coach Stan Van Gundy, in defending suspended center Dwight Howard, on Monday criticized the NBA and David Stern, saying the commissioner doesn't "tolerate other people's opinion or free speech or anything." Stern fired back Thursday, saying he would talk to the team's owners about the coach's comments and that he does not expect Van Gundy to criticize him again. "I have a feeling that some modicum of self-restraint will cause Stan and the team for which he works to rein in his aberrant behavior," Stern said.

Added Stern: "It didn't bother me personally. I see somebody whose team isn't performing, whose star player was suspended, who seems to be fraying. ... Whatever the pressures are that Stan is feeling, that he fell to whatever position he's in to say something like this, it made me sad (WEEI)."

Where the hell you get off saying something like this David Stern? You are fining a coach that took a shot at you, and you respond by going on the radio and commenting about his team's performance? That's not right. If there was any justice Stern should be fined for his comments. What right does he have to take shots like this?

This whole fining for comments has got completely out of control, and Ron Jeremy, sorry I mean Stan Van Gundy is 100% correct. It is a complete dictatorship now, and if you don't like what he is doing then you have two options, shut up and take it, or say something and get fined crazy amounts of money.

I get that you can't have everyone blasting the commissioner all the time, but you can't even question policies, or rules. To me, that's just wrong. If there is no debate how does a sport grow?

Well, since I can't get fined here you go...

Mr David Stern,

You're an elitist punk that is so insecure that you have to fine everyone that isn't in line with you. When what you should be doing is focusing on fixing your sport, which has recently had problems with refs fixing games. Along with that you have a stupid technical rule in which you get suspended after 16 technicals. This was fine during days when you actually had to earn one, but now if you even look at a ref the wrong way you get a technical. Why don't you define what a technical really is before you start suspending people? No, I guess you're too busy reading coaches comments to do that.

Or maybe you should take some time and explain why it is ok for a team that is owned by the NBA (Hornets) to go over the salary cap, and spend owners money from teams that know how to run their franchises. No, I guess I guess your too bust making sure players aren't wearing their "white ts".

Why don't you take some time and fix your playoff structure that has teams well below .500 making the playoffs? You know so that the regular season actually means something to good teams. But no, it's probably smarter to make sure the 14th largest market (Seattle) loses their team.

Listen Mr Stern, you have some of the best talent the NBA has ever seen, and while your sport is growing it could be so much better if you had a commissioner who wasn't such a dink. Grow up, and focus on making your sport #1, because honestly as good as the NBA is doing it should be doing even better when you have some of the greatest players to ever play the game with some of the best teams ever created.

Piss off you ugly little smurf.

The Answer Says FUCK YOU ESPN!

Thats right. Fuck ESPN because they are brain damaged. I know I'm going to beat a dead horse with the whole Celtics trade, but I had a revelation last night while watching the game that really blew my mind. If you've read any ESPN articles in the last week about this trade, or watched any sports center, the biggest criticism about the trade is that the Celtics lost their size. Well first of all, simple math shows you that we gain sized. Last time I checked Perk was 6'11 and Krstic is 7 foot. Gained an inch there. Dont need to be a math wizard to figure out that one. Nate Robinson is 5'8 and Jeff Green is 6'9, gain a foot and an inch for all you retards out there that work for ESPN. So I'm not sure how this little debate got started, but simple arithmetic proves this to be null and void.

Then I thought some more...Maybe the Celtics play smaller because Perk plays bigger than he is. I still don't understand it but I guess I see where they are coming from. But if you watched the game against the Bucks, you saw something amazing. Something I almost wet my pants over. Sure the Celtics can play small. They slide Green to the 4 spot and move KG to the 5 to close out the game. I'm a fan of the line-up kind of like the James Posey days. But they can play big. Really fucking big. Bigger than any team in NBA. Why you ask? Because Jeff Green can play two positions, but so can Paul Pierce.

Last night at one point in the game the C's had a line up of Rondo, Pierce (SG), Green (SF) Garnett (PF) and Krstic at Center. Green gives people problems on the wing because he's so tall. Paul gives shooting guards problems because he's so tall. So now we have a 6'9 Paul Pierce playing shooting guard against an the league average of 6'4, and Green playing small forward against the average of 6'6. We gain 1 inch at the SF spot and 5 inches at shooting guard. Thats a big line-up. Imagine when Shaq comes back. Then we are freakishly large.

Think of all the variations of that line-up. We can put West in a pg and Troy Murphy in at center, then we have a 3 point shooting line up. We can put Rondo in a pg, baby at PF and KG at Center and have a small yet running line-up.

The combos are endless. The Celtics got anything but smaller. I'd say they got bigger, but more importantly, more versatile. Besides, Nate and Perk are hurt. So they are worthless anyway.

This will be the end of my trade talk. Fuck you ESPN and anyone who says we got smaller.

It's Official: Rolling Stone Is Dead

The end of days must be here, as Jersey Shores' "Snooki" is on the cover of Rolling Stone magazine.

There was a time when I had a subscription to Rolling Stone. They had great articles, and were really the focus of music. Now, Rock is dead and Rap has taken over. It's just the way it is. Will it come back? Debatable.

What is not debatable is the fact that America is going down the shitter. Even if you like the STD for the mind "Jersey Shore" you can't honestly think that she deserves to be on the cover of anything let alone Rolling Stone. I really will never get the fascination with this cock eating gremlin. Please tell me that little girls don't look up to "Snooki", Paris Hilton, and/or Kim Kardashian.

Oh, side note... Has anyone heard that Kim Kardashian song she released that apparently was worked on my Kanye West? It is literally the worst thing I have ever heard (if you haven't it is on YouTube). It just proves once again that the most popular people going right now are all no talent whores that signify why the rest of the world hates us.

Am I The Only One Disgusted By Krstic's Hair?

I want to start by saying that I am sorry I can't get a better picture, but if you watch the Celtics you know what I am talking about (or after reading this you will next game). I like Nenad Krstic, he plays with a ton of energy and is really the first Celtic in like 3 years that goes after offensive boards, but every time they zoom up on him on TV it makes me think maybe abortions really aren't all bad.

Seriously, why is hair black on the sides then brown on top? He has this weird thing going on where it's like an extreme comb over, but it's not a normal one where you go from side to side, it's from back to front. I don't care if you're going bald, it happens to all of us, but fucking get over it and shave it. That odd brown skunk thing he has going on is just too much for me. Honestly, it distracts me from the game. Here is the normal set of events when I watch him play.

"Damn, nice play Krstic, geez Dave they got a steal in this trade."

Then Comcast does a zoom up...

"Oh what the fuck!!! Dude, seriously do something about that. Hasn't someone said something to him about it? How does that happen? Why is it a different color? Dave, what the fuck? I want Perk back, I can't deal with this. Who does comb overs anymore??? Honestly, fucking shave it Krstic..."

That goes on for a good 5-10 mins, in which I usually miss a good portion of the game. So, for the love of God Krstic please shave that awfulness on top of your head, or at least make it so it's all the same color, so you don't look like some weird Chernobyl victim.

Also, there should be an "i" between the "r" and "s" in your name. Kristic looks and makes more sense. "Krst" is just many consonants in a row, and is fucking stupid.

I may have had too much coffee this morning.

Glory Days Of The NBA or Signs Of The Apocalypse?

Boston, LA, New York, and Miami all have teams that are relevant, and those are arguably 4 of the more important franchises to the NBA. Having those huge markets (and their fan bases) be into the NBA can't be a bad thing. Most of your stars are now playing for a major market team. The NBA landscape has changed so much over the past 3-4 years that it's hard to get a handle on.

Players run this league, there is just no way to argue it. Lebron, Wade, and Bosh decided long ago that they would play together. Melo, Amare, and Paul made a wedding toast that they would all play together, and 2/3 of that is already true. Paul Pierce and Ray Allen begged KG to come to Boston to the first "Super Team". You could actually look back to Boston and say they are the one's that started all of this.

So, if the major markets are happy, and we are getting to see some of the best teams ever created (assuming things keep going on this way), what is the problem?

The problem is that the NBA isn't just major markets. Toronto, Cleveland, Utah, Minnesota, and Denver have had their teams ripped apart because their star player has decided that he wants to play for a certain (sometimes predetermined) team. This has been pointed out by a number of sites, and is valid, but there seems to be a point that everyone is missing.

If no one wants to play in these cities, and fan bases come and go like the tides, then why do they have a team in the first place? You know why the NBA ratings are at their highest in years? Because teams are loaded. In the 80's people wanted to watch the Celtics, Lakers, Pistons, and the other loaded team play each other, because you knew you were getting the best of the best. Those teams were "Super Teams", and when you watch two "Super Teams" play each other you know you are getting the best of the best.

Don't believe me?

"At midseason, its ratings are up 26% on TNT and 15% on ESPN and, albeit in a smaller sample, up 32% on ABC (USA Today)."

To me this shows what the NBA (and a lot of other sports) should consider... Here comes that scary word "contraction".

Every time I say that, I know I am just in my fantasy world, but to me it makes too much sense. People want to see "Super Teams", players want to play for "Super Teams", so why shouldn't people/players get what they want? If no one wants to play in Minnesota, Toronto, Utah, ect then why bother having a team?

Look what is happening to New Orleans right now, and they haven't even lost their star yet (but we all know is coming). Right now they are owned by the NBA. They just pulled off a trade and took on more money, which is over the cap, making other teams pay for their player. Kind of bullshit right? Mark Cuban certainly thinks so. My point here is if this team doesn't have a buyer, their star player doesn't want to play there, then why is the NBA putting themselves through this? Contract the team, and move on. That leaves the other teams with more players, which makes more "Super Teams", which makes the players happy because they don't waste years in shitty markets on shitty teams.

The sad reality is that no matter how much this makes sense it will never happen. The owners are going to fight back. They know they can't let these players keep running things, and going wherever they want and leaving teams high and dry. In a way they are correct. If you are going to have 30 teams you can't have just 5 of them have all the best players, because they are in the best markets. It just doesn't work. What will end up happening is something like a franchise tag, and it will be more like the NFL. That is all well and good, but basketball will never be as popular (or better) then when they have "Super Teams" playing each other.

I Hate Mark Schlereth, But This Is A Great Rant

Tyronn Lue Hates Me

So on his flight back from Miami DP was lucky enough to sit next to Tyronn Lue. DP will be writing about all this tomorrow, but there was a shocking turn to this entire event. Tyronn Lue signed a piece of paper for DP, but before his signature he wrote "I hate Bob". This unprovoked attack is not being taken lightly.

It's actually kind of funny, because I never liked him. Anytime I think of him I think of Allen Iverson hitting that 3 then stepping over him while he was laying on the ground to show him up. But now he taken my hatred to a whole new level. So game on Mr. Tyronn Lue, you want an enemy you got one.

First off Tyronn is a fucking stupid name. Stop just making up first names, and is that second "n" really necessary? No, you're just a punk.

Second, fuck Nebraska, who fuck goes to Nebraska to play basketball? What's the matter you couldn't handle a really school? I guess it's fitting that your major was probably chucking corn with your sweet cornrows. You fucking fag.

Sure you work for the Celtics, but it's just cause Doc Rivers feels bad for you. You're a waste and were never really any good. Plus you were a Laker, so fuck you Tyronn this isn't over!!!!!!!

It's OK You Can Hate Lebron

A couple days ago I stayed home from work sick, which basically means I watched ESPN for 8 straight hours. Sportscenter, First Take (Cold Pizza was a much better name), Mike and Mike, and so on. Anyways, they kept talking about how black people are coming to the defense of Lebron. At first I didn't think much of it, but 8 hours later I started to get really annoyed. Why does he need to be defended just because he's black? We rip of Favre nonstop. We admitted last year that he was awesome, but we still hate him...everyone does. And everyone should have the right to hate LeBron too. He is a great player, but he is also a douche, and if we have learned anything from sports over the past couple years it is easy to be both.

So guest after guest just saying that people think he is getting unfair criticism. I really can't understand it. What really pissed me off is that not one person would stand up and say "but he was acting like a douche, and this is usually happens if you do douchey things. I mean the guy went on live TV made an ass out of an entire city, looked like an ego maniac, turned his back on some of his closest friends (Mo Williams, who still doesn't seem to be over it), all in the name of Lebron. I'm sorry, but if you do that you're an asshole, regardless of color. I don't mind that he went to Miami, just the manner in which he did it.

I am sure there are some people that hate LeBron because he is black, but they would've hated him regardless then. The people who are angry with him now aren't angry because of what color his skin is, but rather the manner in which he holds himself. He has no one to blame but himself. So, really take it easy, the guy deserves it, and I'm glad his Q rating is falling. The NBA needed a villain, and now they have two with Kobe and LeBron. Villains = intriguing story lines, which is a good thing. So have fun hating him, and leave the race card at home.

Why Not?

Usually I write some cheeky line that somehow includes the phrase "why not". Well not for this video. This video sums up everything I hate about religious people, bible belt, or whatever the fuck you want to call these douchebag scam artists. It really makes me sick. I got nothing against the believing in God, but I can guarantee this woman's hip was either not hurt, or not healed by this. I also guarantee everyone in that place had to donate money. So why not see what I hate more then anything? Shit, I guess I couldn't help it.

Laurence Maroney Fans = David Carradine

Every year there are always Patriots fans that tell me "this is the year Maroney puts it all together". It's not just the fans either, there is always some ass-clown that writes an article about how is going to be better, and has the ability to be a top 10 RB. In the end, these fans/reports are like David Carradine, they hide themselves in the closet, jerk off to Maroney, and end up dying because they were too stupid to know when to let go.

Listen, I fallen for Maroney in the past. He has the talent, but so does JaMarcus Russell. Talent only gets you so far. The truth is Maroney is not that tough of a runner, he is injury prone, and I really question his desire to improve himself. So fuck Maroney, his David Carradine-like fans, and all I can say is that Fred Taylor better get the ball 80% of the time with the rest going to guys like Kevin Faulk.

Sure we were all fans of Carradine in Kill Bill, must like we were all fans of Maroney when he was a rookie, but you got to know when to let that noose aroung your neck go, because the risk just isn't worth the reward.

Ozzie Guillen's New Rant: Asians

White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen thinks Asian players are given privileges in the United States that Latinos are not afforded.

"Very bad. I say, why do we have Japanese interpreters and we don't have a Spanish one. I always say that. Why do they have that privilege and we don't?" Guillen said Sunday before Chicago played the Oakland Athletics. "Don't take this wrong, but they take advantage of us. We bring a Japanese player and they are very good and they bring all these privileges to them. We bring a Dominican kid ... go to the minor leagues, good luck. Good luck. And it's always going to be like that. It's never going to change. But that's the way it is."

When I first heard about this story my reaction was typical Ozzie, he should just shut the fuck up. To his credit he might be right on this time. I never really thought about it before, but why do Asians get interpreters and Latino players don't. I get that it is much easier to go Spanish to English, then it is for Asian players to learn English, but it still does seem kind of wrong.

My opinion is that they should all have to learn English. No I am not about to go all southern on you, but if I was hired by a company and my boss spoke English, I would think by default I would have to learn it.

This isn't calling out all Asians. Dice-K has not a decent job of learning the language, and can actually hold somewhat of a conversation. Okajima on the other hand has learned 1 word of English, he doesn't want to and that's wrong if Latino players have to.

Anyways, give credit to Ozzie I think he is right about this one, but then again you throw enough shit against a wall something gonna stick.

Why Not?

Why not go on a rant about Jimmy Dean Sausages?

I fucking hate NASCAR and don't understand how people could. It's hours of cars driving around in circles with not much happening. But when I saw this picture this morning I got pissed, this is what NASCAR breeds, a bunch of racist d bags. Yea that might be bold, but it's true. Everyone who likes NASCAR is a racist. Even you Captain. I mean this shirt would make our very own BMack blush.
