Shut Up

By Billy Fellin

    Just a few days ago, spring training began in baseball when first the pitchers and catchers then the rest of the players showed up in camp and started to work out for the 2007 season. Great, I’m already excited about the weather getting warmer (gotta love nice spring days on a college campus-girl’s shorts get shorter ever year) as well as baseball getting going. But then we get drama worthy of a high school cafeteria out of New York where A-Rod has said his friendship with Derek Jeter has “cooled”. Honestly, guys, just can it.

The Smorgasbord

By Rob LaBrie

For the past month or so, I’ve been a little busy trying to elude Stephen Jackson and his posse.  Ever since I threw that beer on one of them in the Bada-Bing strip club, they’ve been tryin’ to bust a cap in my (butt) and chasin’ me with Cadillac Escalades.  So, needless to say, I’ve been a little too busy to write about sports.

Too Good For Your Team?

It was just past 11:10 PM EST last night when I was watching Sportscenter, resting after four days and five games of hell (I am a Yankees fan, but those four days were still hell regardless). Given the opportunity, I was tempted not to even stay up for the eleven o’clock Sportscenter, but just listening to Tony Kornheiser was enough to keep me awake longer than expected. And it’s a good thing I did because I have a message I’d like to send to Toronto Blue Jays Manager John Gibbons: I love you big man.
