I found an absurd ARod article by Dickie V on ESPN.com and at first, I was just going to post a link, but I couldn’t help myself from paying homage to one of my heroes Ken Tremendous by FJMizing this article. It will probably suck, but fuck it, no one’s gonna read this shit anyway.
AROD [...]


Well, some bizarre stuff went down yesterday and luckily for us, we can already enjoy it all on youtube so I thought I’d pass along the videos.
I have not been able to listen to Mike Francesa lately, but apparently yesterday was a controversial day. The Maddog went on Howard Stern and talked some shit (I [...]


ARod IV

11Feb09

I think this will be the last on A-Rod, but maybe tomorrow it will come out that it was bong that Michael Phelps smoked from. In reference to the last paragraph in Pat’s recent post where he discussed the irrational Yankee fan dissonance from reality when it comes to Jeter and A-Rod: I couldn’t agree [...]


ARod Part 3

11Feb09

I agree with what Bo said about ARod micromanaging his own image and coming off as false, but my point was that if this was his biggest sin prior to the steroid allegations, than the punishment did not fit with the crime. I mean how many commercials do you ever see ARod in? A few [...]


Instead of trying to explain my reaction to the A-Rod story and Pat’s response, I’m just going to link to the article by Joe Posnanski which sums up pretty much all of my feelings way better than I ever could.

I don’t blame A-Rod more than anyone else for using steroids, and I don’t think it [...]


I have to admit I actually do feel sorry for ARod. This is a guy who’s been treated like shit in the press for years. He’s been derided as a choker, a fraud, a prima donna, an adulterer, as possessing an stalker-like obsession with Jeter; basically just a weird, generally douchy dude. People could not [...]

Kind of a bizarre exercise going on over at ESPN.com, they have 4 guys drafting teams with a 40 million dollar budget (it’s like something we would do). One of their “experts” is the brilliant Steve Phillips, and through 15 rounds, he has a 34 million dollar payroll. He still has to draft 40% of [...]


What if…?

02Feb09

Well, the idea for this post sort of goes hand in hand with the premise behind the bizzaro-world rosters we put together, in that they both have no real relevance to the current sports world, but I do think this could be a little more interesting. I’ve always been fascinated by how the direction of [...]
