Take(s):

Busey And All Day Unite

Remember back in April when David Wright unveiled his secret offseason weapon? “Situational Training” which included taking the lumber to the sitch’s sixer for vitamin water? Well come to find out, Adrian Peterson has been rolling with an offseason wingman of his own. Gary Busey; aka Buddy Holly…aka Angelo Pappas….aka Mr. Joshua. This spot is so alarming it’s awesome. Busey, looking and acting freaky as ever, is barking at the camera about the law, fantasy football, compensation and other indiscernible mishmash before he and All Day crash a fantasy draft. Bust up the joint and start clotheslining dudes. Mason Storm was impressed. Busey? Did Chris Johnson spend the offseason running hills with Margot Kidder? Weird; does A.P. even know who Busey is? Does Busey even know who Busey is? I know this, looking at this Cat makes me want to start crushing vitamin water. And vaccines.

Then again, if Busey can will former buckeye great Johnny Utah into an FBI agent,... More »

Keep The Weed Out Of The Mercedes

Miami Heat forward Udonis Haslem says he’ll be vindicated after being charged with possession of 20 grams of the hippie lettuce, a third degree felony. I hope so. If not, the Heat really are loaded; they’ve got the big three, and now they’ve added the big tree. Now we know where all that smoke came from when Wade, Bron and Bosh went WWE on stage. It wasn’t a smoke machine it was Haslem below the stage with a bong, his stash and a box of blue tips. Allegedly. 20 grams, U?

I don’t bake so I don’t know how much that is, but google conversions tell me that’s almost three quarters of an ounce. I’m not saying you’d need a suitcase to stuff that into, but I know you’re not slamming that into your one hitter either. Of course, there’s already a passenger trying to jump on the grenade for his guy. But that’s not a case of a... More »

Lose The Eye Black Bryce

The Washington Nationals and agent Scott Boras pushed it right to the deadline, but there’s no way Bryce Harper’s deal wasn’t going to get done. Both sides had way too much to lose. The Nats couldn’t afford the PR nightmare of letting the alleged next Mickey Mantle get away. And there was no way Harper drops out of high school, and plays juco ball to take that shortcut to the bigs only to return for another season of juco ball. No brainer. The only question to still be answered regards the eye black; as in, what is that? Harper does know he just signed with the Nationals and not KISS, right? That at one point, even Gene Simmons took off his makeup.

Hopefully the Nats chipped him off a bar of lava with that ten mill. Because not only is that a bad look, it’s a reason to go look. I understand that everyone is looking to brand themselves now. But baseball players aren’t like basketball players. It’s not an in your face sport. Go ask Reds second baseman... More »

Football Is Now Back

I’ll say it again; the number one sport in this country is football. And the number 2 sport in this country is waiting for football to start. And watching Eli Manning’s dome leak all over the new turf in their new 1.6 billion dollar crib last night; well, the wait is over. It’s not football season until someone bleeds from the head. Did that really just happen in a preseason game? I haven’t seen Eli get that jacked up since he took a shot as a rookie against the Eagles. Manning outsmarted himself, changing up at the line, but refusing to tell his back Brandon Jacobs and in the process, became the first player in the history of the league to get jacked up by a tailback, a d-end and a safety, all on the same play. Nastiest garden state beat down since Ronnie put that chump to sleep on the pavement back in season one of the Shore. Eli was like, that’s three shots, kid just three shots/ (although Eli probably wasn’t sure if he was Peyton, Archie, Cooper or Olivia after... More »
