Why MLB Is Irrelevant: George Carlin Explains
Published July 15, 2010 | 
No one really knows why people like NFL so much more than MLB (unless you’ve ever watched MLB games, or any NFL games). George Carlin does, and he goes through the differences between football and baseball in this stand-up routine giving us the REAL reasons why men hate baseball:
Record Low All-Star Ratings: Why No One Cares About Baseball (Still)
Published July 15, 2010 | 
Tuesday night’s MLB all-star game garnered the lowest EVER ratings for an MLB all-star game, EVER. The all-star game got a 7.5 rating and a 13 share. That’s down 16% from last year (8.9/15) and down from the previous low of 8.1/14 in 2005.
So who cares? Well, no one, really. That’s the whole point. No one cares about baseball, and even the self-proclaimed “best all star game” isn’t drawing the same fans as years past. Even though baseball is the only sport in the summer it still cant get fans to turn on the TV’s. Back in 1967, when Nielsen first started their TV ratings baseball garnered a 25.6 rating.
In comparison to sports going on in the summer, “The Decision” by Lebron James and his posse got a 9.9 rating (raising 3 million for charity) last Thursday.
So why didn’t anyone watch the all-star game? This should be easy: Continue reading
“The Decision” As Mocked By Simmons On SportsNation And Steve Carell On ESPY’s
Published July 15, 2010 | A lot has been made about Lebron and his “decision” and the incredible backlash that ensued. Bill Simmons had a great mockery of it with his decision on SportsNation as to whether he would re-up on his Clippers tickets for the upcoming season, or change to another team.
Steve Carell with Paul Rudd on the ESPY’s also mocked it with some shameless restaurant plugs.

JaMarcus Russell Finally Lives Up To Expectations: Arrested For ‘Purple Drank’
Published July 5, 2010 | 
Jamarcus Russell was arrested today for possession of a controlled substance in Mobile, Alabama. The substance was codeine syrup, or cough syrup infused with codeine. Russell obviously didn’t have a prescription for it. The arrest was part of a sting operation. Russell was arrested at his Mobile home (not mobile-home, in Mobile, AL) by police and was later released on $2,500 bail. JaMarcus was born and went to high school in Mobile.
The codeine cough syrup is commonly called ‘Purple Drank‘ in the Hip-Hop community. Codeine is a narcotic that in large quantities lead to sedation and altered states of consciousness. While codeine is a pain killer, this concoction is used more as a recreational drug in the Hip-Hop community than to cover up any real pain.
This pretty much ruins any chance of JaMarcus getting even a min contract for anyone this off-season. With training camp looming and his court date set for July 20th (will probably be pushed back), It’s doubtful any team will be as stupid as the Raiders were originally. Russell will certianly go down as the worst #1 pick in NFL history, but I’d go as far to say he is the worst NFL player in NFL history. He had a career QB rating of 65 and a career completion rating of 52% with 18 TDs and 23 INT including 70 sacks.
This is a win for Al Davis probably in his mind. He probably thinks “Hey, I got rid of him just in time.” Well, you were two years late on that one Al, but for any of you non-Raiders fans it’s a win for you, because you know your team probably won;t make the mistake on Him with a min salary and roster position that someone was likely to.
If you respond better to listening to rap than you do reading a boring Wikipedia page, here is Fraser Boy with Miek Jones and Paul Wall to explain it in a gospel hymn:
