Coaches, GMs, owners, players and fans are calling for monumental changes to America’s game.

Most likely will be the addition of instant replay so we don’t have any Jeffrey Maier situations, and the regulation of maple bats as they have been shattering at a record pace and it is only a matter of time before someone get seriously injured.

Less likely (but still on the plate) are new draft regulations that will put a cap on how much power top prospects like Seton Hall’s Rick Porcello and their agents Scott Boras has over teams vying for talent.

Oh sh*t, I forgot about Hank Steinbrenner who has a strong opinion of the NL after the Yankees’ star pitcher Wang was injured running the bases saying, “My only message is simple: The National League needs to grow up and join the 21st century. I’ve got my pitchers running the bases, and one of them gets hurt. He’s going to be out. I don’t like that, and it’s about time they address it. That was a rule from the 1800s.”

But what about banning over sized body armor or pointing to the sky after crossing home plate? Or the $2 hot dog rule and outlawing sushi from concession stands?

These are the New Rules Of Baseball that have been submitted by fans across America and outlined by CBS Sportsline. Although ridiculous, some of these rules make a lot of sense–and should be tested in the minor leagues.

If I had my way, I’d implement a Boni Jovi rule that would call the music legend to perform during the 7th inning stretch of every game Yankee game until the end of the season. That’s a little unrealistic and being from New Jersey, I’m biased. So for now, we’ll just have to settle for a free Bon Jovi All-Star game concert at Central Park.

All-Star rocker Bon Jovi will be performing a free concert at New York’s Central Park on July 12th at 8PM to kick off Major League Baseball’s 2008 All-Star game celebrations taking place at Yankee Stadium on July 15th.

“All-Star Summer is set to hit New York City in a few weeks, and the lineup of festivities just added another future Hall-of-Famer in Bon Jovi,” said New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

“The free concert in Central Park is going to help make this year’s All-Star Summer a celebration to remember. The 2008 All-Star Game will pay tribute to the storied history of Yankee Stadium, and Bon Jovi will help us ensure it goes out in a blaze of glory — hopefully a blaze in late October.”

Tickets for this free event become available on Wednesday July 2nd at MLB.com.

Just this morning I was thinking to myself, “Wouldn’t it be great if another 80s icon ran for governor?” Well, guess what? Today, my ultimate wish has came true: Jon Bon Jovi is planning to run for governor of New Jersey.

He’s a cowboy – on a steel horse he rides – but does Jon Bon Jovi have what it takes to wrassle up a worthwhile campaign?

If I take his hand will I make it, as he swore to me years before?

Will he give politics a bad name?

If I know I’m gonna live in his reign, should I just keep the faith?

Does it even matter, considering his lifelong fans will vote for him regardless? (more…)

As many of you already may know, the v-neck is well on its way back into fashion. American Apparel, among others, has been instrumental in ushering these undergarments into mainstream fashion and I salute them for their efforts. Most other fashionable brands have followed suit and started to produce v-necks of all shapes and varieties. Now, if you are trying to enter into the v-neck game, there are a few rules of thumb to live by. I have been in the v-neck game for about two years now and it’s a rough and tumble world that I am attempting to bring order to.

First off, many of you are thinking: “The lower the V, the better.” This motto is nothing more than urban myth as the lower the V, the riskier it is. This is not to say that risky is bad, but if you are not in a band, a V the stretches lower than your titties is going to come off as a little bit homo. If you are gay, then this aphorism is what you should live by. (more…)
