Do you know who you're talking to?

Didn't know Justin Beiber and JC share clothing... I wasn't going to comment on this whole wedding breakup story (because it's asinine) but get a load of this : So how was his relationship with former fiancee Kristin? “Kristin would call Jay a loser and a p**sy, and she’d scream it at him so everyone could hear. They would have fights about Jay being too conceited. They would also argue over how mean he was to people. She would make a point of saying hello to people in the hall, just to piss him off,” our insider laughingly tells us. In January, they got into a big blow-out argument after Jay injured his knees during the NFL playoffs. He was diagnosed with a MCL sprain. “Kristin called Jay out, saying she thought he was faking the injury and told him he was worthless.” If I'm the superstar franchise QB of the historic Chicago Bears, do I really need to listen to this verbal diarrhea from a 3rd rate reality TV castoff? I'm not saying JC has the right to be an asshole...

Williams Deals, MLB Reels

For some reason, I always assumed that a beard was digitally removed from this image. Well, that was quick! In the blink of an eye, the Sox traded Mark Teahen and Edwin Jackson to get Jason Frasor and Zach Stewart . For those of you looking for a reason to complain, the Sox dealt Jackson (who is in the midst of the best season of his career) and a utility man for a relief pitcher (not something we need) and a prospect. I couldn't even sell this as Devil's Advocate. I fucking love this trade. Pros: Gigantic Salary Dump Adds a RHP to bullpen (Bruney isn't exactly legit - Frasor is) Frees up roster space for DeAza ( and we saw how that worked out ) Gains Type B FA in Frasor Gets Humber back into rotation Cons: Weakens offensive bench versatility (does it really?) Lose Type A FA in Jackson Didn't get more for them All in all, this is a great deal. The Sox bullpen is now truly filthy (Sale-Thornton-Frasor-Santos-Crain...holy shit), and Omar Vizquel was a better platoon partn...

I thought Cubs fans were the dumb ones...

We're all in...sadly

This is bad. Let's take a minute to realize what's going on here: #1. The Cubs are terrible, the NL Central is a joke, and the PIRATES are in first place. Ergo, there will be no more Cubs discussion this year. Expect Fukudome to be traded along with Marlon Byrd and whatever else can get jettisoned. #2. The AL Central is a crapshoot . Despite a hot start, the Indians have given way to the Tigers (1.5 game lead), who are only 4 games ahead of the Sox and 6 games ahead of the Twins. This is really anybody's game except for the Royals, who haven't been a factor in 20 years. #3. The Sox have yet to get above .500. So really, we have a lot of work to do before we can start talking about how the Sox are still "in it." The major problems we have had are that money is being invested in abysmal performances. Dunn, Rios, and Teahen were all supposed to be worth their paychecks. Dunn was projected to hit over 40 HRs, Rios to have a .270 BA, and Teahen to bring some lumbe...

Fucking Warhol Museum

( Hank Willis Thomas, Something to Stand on: The Third Leg, 2007, Courtesy the artist and Jack Shainman Gallery, New York) My buddy Horse sent me this picture from the Warhol museum in Pittsburgh - apparently, they have an exhibit open now on masculinity and sports and this is one of the pieces of art on display. Um, are you kidding me? Number one, this shit isn't art (or you can call us "artists" for making up our logo 2 years earlier) and number two, this fucking Hank Thomas guy is straight up stealing our shit. /quick google search on Hank Willis Thomas Can we get sue for a billion in royalties? I bet that museum makes at least like, $100, and we would settle for somewhere in the $5-10 range (exponentially increasing our current revenue from this website). I'd also make a deal to settle for no cash but our "piece" gets a spot in the exhibit... it's only fair. -KEG
