Ex-Sports Reporter Intern – Sarah Palin is Your VP Kitten

McCain pulled a VP running-mate out of the Alaskan woods, the state’s Governor Sarah Palin. Reportedly they have only met twice, but she looks like a sexy teacher, so that’s good enough. Honestly, that’s what everyone thought when they first saw her today. She looked like a hot mom who would [...]

Chad Ocho Cinco is a Looney Tune

Chad Johnson is no more, he has re-invented himself, and his new last name is “Ocho Cinco.” The Ticket, ESPN Radio 790 in Miami, reports that Chad officially changed his last name. Luke expressed his disdain for ESPN in covering the soap opera of “Ocho Cinco.” Really, we’re all sick of this stuff. [...]

Obama is a White Sox Fan and Hillary is a Flip-Flopper

Barack Obama is loyal to the the Chicago White Sox and John McCain follows the Arizona Diamondbacks.  I respect that they aren’t flip-flopping and playing the diplomatic card to appease voters.  Obama spoke out to the beacon of sports journalism, Stu Scott, and pledged his loyal allegiance to the White Sox.  He is not afraid [...]

For the Cubs Fans

Swigging beers and watching Cubs games from the bleachers make for an ideal summer day in Chicago. This bleacher bum is one a few fans who caught a home run this day, while simultaneously pounding his beer.  Buy this man another round, or atleast give him a high five.

Adam Jones Makin’ it Rain in a Local Dallas Commercial

Pacman, or now just Adam Jones, is in a local Dallas TV ad with Deion. I don’t even know where to begin with this. How much do we love USA? You know he’s so pissed that he can’t hit-up strip clubs anymore.  This isn’t as amazing as the Eastern Motors, but worth a look.

Norm McDonald, Ironic or Did He Lose his Spurs?

I’d go with the latter, but these joke are so bad, they’re laughable. We loved Norma back in the day and thought he was a funny Weekend Update host. What happened to this guy? He had so much talent but so little success to show for it.
We watched The Bob Saget Roast [...]
