This one’s been making the rounds the last couple of days, but it’s just too good not to post. Basically, this guy (Rob) is freaking out over his beloved Giant’s loss to the Eagles, which knocked them out of the Super Bowl running. And as the girl in the background points out, he’s being an uber-pu$$y. And it’s hilarious. [Beware: some language is NSFW]
In the wake of Osi Umenyiora’s season-ending knee surgery, the best news for Giants fans is that Michael Strahan is staying put in retirement. Why, do you ask? Because Strahan was a warrior for the Giants over his prolific 15-year career, and he deserves that his final chapter be written with its current fairy tale ending. He went out healthy, he went out respected, and most importantly, he went out a champion.
Strahan’s leadership will sorely be missed in New York, but now is the time for Eli Manning to take the reins of the franchise. Eli’s fourth quarter in Super Bowl 42 demonstrated that not only is he capable, but also he is ready. (more…)
Tom Brady must feel pretty damn lucky. He has a hot, sexy girlfriend, and he’s about to win the Super Bowl – plus he has Inez Gomez Mont trying to get a different kind of ring on his finger.
Every sports fan has an opinion on whether of not Barry Bonds is a cheater.
Watch ESPN’s media blitz for 10 minutes and you will know what I’m talking about. Bonds just broke the most coveted records in all of sports and the media can’t seem to redirect their news fiending boner away from the fact that the guy potentially cheated.
Are American’s really fired up about Bonds cheating or is this just another case of the media force feeding us “controversial” topics to drum up ratings? I decided to hit the streets and ask some every day Joe’s whether or not they think Bonds is a cheater and why.
SAN DIEGO — At 7:29 p.m. local time Saturday, in the top of the second inning, Barry Bonds hit career home run No. 755 off Padres pitcher Clay Hensley. It was the first home run he had ever hit off Hensley, who became the 445th different major league pitcher to surrender a home run to Bonds.
It came on a 2-1 pitch, a 91-mph fastball. The swing was clean and true, hands back, head in, follow-through a study in grace and power. The crack of the bat was sharp, familiar, prodigious. The ball flew 382 feet on a low, sharp line to the opposite field, over the left-field fence and off the facing of the second deck of seats at San Diego’s Petco Park.
The sellout crowd came to its feet — some cheering, some booing. Bonds’ teammates burst from the dugout to await him at home plate, and he circled the bases quickly, clapping his hands on his way to first, and slapping a celebratory high-five with Giants coach Tim Flannery as he made his way around third base.
