Obligatory Sports Babe
Look, I realize that I’m about four, five days behind on the celebrity gossip aspect of what I’m about to post, but you have to understand… I don’t give a shit. And frankly, whether it’s newsworthy today or not, how could it possibly be a bad time to have a look at Cowboys QB Tony Romo’s recently-declared ex, Jessica Simpson? Especially if I use a pic [via WWTDD] from when she was even hotter than, you know… recently.
A Nation Turns Its Lonely Eyes To You
“Where have you gone, Dave Ridgeway?” That’s the question the Globe and Mail’s Allan Maki asks of the Roughriders’ former “Robokicker”, who, for mysterious reasons, won’t be at Saturday’s 20th anniversary celebration of the Grey Cup winning 1989 team—which I’d look up on Wikipedia if the Riders’ page wasn’t so incredibly bereft of information.

“This is the decade when sports stopped being about sports,” says Jay Mariotti, once again about to dive headlong into the shallow waters of ridiculousness to prove some kind of show-point, before assuming the role of blog-hating douche fuck—in this case, by speaking out on the Erin Andrews situation.

And you’re not above using some perv’s disgusting act to forward that agenda. Well done.

At least… I guess that’s what this Bleacher Report thing is about. I didn’t read it though, so I really have no idea…
Good Week
The Binghamton Mets—or the “Bee Mets”, if you prefer—had quite the week. The AAA affiliate of the New York Mets had a little clubhouse run-in with the big club’s VP for player development, Tony Bernazard—in that the former Expos shortstop took his shirt off and challenged the team to a fight, or so says the New York Daily News. They also, according to Outside the Boxscore, had a nice little epic fail, involving mascot Bingo the Bee. You see, apparently ol’ Bingo does a little dance whenever the Mets hit a home run. He then has to hop a fence to get off the field and, well . . .
