Good Lord That’s a Lot of Money

Justin Verlander signs a 5 year-$80 million dollar contract with the “our stadium holds more people than actually live in” Detroit Tigers. He is a top 5 pitcher and deserves the contract.

Verlander will receive a $500,000 signing bonus. He’ll earn $6.75 million this year, $12.75 million in 2011 and $20 million in each of the following three seasons.

I would kill for that kind of money. Seriously, I will. You need anyone dead and have $80 million to spare? I’ll do it. So what does Justin do with all of his new money?

Outdoor Baseball

This year is the first time I will be able to see professional baseball outdoors. Target Field opens up this season, at first I wasn’t really excited about sitting outside to watch baseball. For as long as I’ve been a baseball fan all I’ve had was the metrodome.

Now we have a great new stadium and I am excited for baseball season to start.

Will The Baby Jesus Sign?

The buzz around town is will Joe Mauer re-sign with the Twins. He is in the last year of his contract making $12.5 million. The Twins need to re-sign him before the season is over, if they don’t, say goodbye to the Baby Jesus.

BREAKING NEWS!!

ESPN reporter Erin Andrews is naked…..

 

Boxing is Boring

The title of this post really says it all.

• No one gets knocked out.
• They fight for points with weak little punches.
• They are constantly hugging and no one throws punches from that position.
• They have pads the size of a large baby on their fists.
• NO ONE GETS KNOCKED OUT!
• I don’t think anyone likes seeing a 12 round decision.
• The undercards to “big” fights blow.

Old school boxing was awesome because nobody knew any better. MMA is 1000 times better than boxing. The fights are rarely boring. They are actually fighters not just punchers.

How McNabb REALLY broke a rib

 

This is how McNabb was really hurt. I think the Detroit Lions should sign this chick.

I’m Just a N*****

Floyd Mayweather is boxing still apparently. I thought he retired two fights ago. I guess I was wrong. Well according to Floyd everyone is a racist. ( From ESPN )

In an otherwise calm meeting with reporters on Tuesday, including ESPN.com’s Kieran Mulvaney, Mayweather calmly and matter-of-factly lashed out at what he thinks is unfair treatment from the media and the public, in part because of his race.

“If you’re rich, you’re a rich n—–,” he said. “If you’re poor, you’re a poor n—-. If you’re smart, you’re a smart n—–. At the end of the day, they still look at me as a n—–.”

 Where do you live? The south in the 1900’s? Get a life dude.

“One thing you never hear. You never hear anything negative about Oscar De La Hoya,” he said. “Anything he do negative, it gets swept under the rug.”

Yeah, noone saw these pics -

The REAL Christmas

I am convinced that if Jesus could have chosen which day to pop out of the virgin Mary’s (his mom) womb it would have been today. EVERYONE would celebrate Christmas then. There would be peace in the Middle East (maybe?)

Not only would everyone love Christmas on a Sunday and on football opener, but since it’s warm out we can get rid of stupid ass Santa and replace him with these chicks.

 

 

 

If you aren’t ready for football today there is something wrong with you. Or you’re gay or a woman, or both (Not there’s anything wrong with that).

So sit back watch some football, drink some beer, eat some food and enjoy. And remember Jesus would want you to.

Opening Day!

Today is the day. The day everyone has been waiting for.

OPENING DAY.

What do we have to look forward to this season?

• The wildcat. Lots and lots of wildcat. So much wildcat in fact that some coach will think he is super smart and run the wildcat but call it something else like the direct snap to the running back, lets see if he can throw a shitty pass or run the ball for a 5 yard game play the run-around.
• Lots of commercials. And I mean TONS of them. Not a lot of different commercials, just the same ones over and over and over and over and over again. You’ll see them so much you might actually stab yourself in the eye with a rusty screw driver.
• Brett Favre. (I’m a Vikings fan and I’M sick of him.)
• No John Madden. Some of you might be happy about this, but I am legitimately sad. I loved John Madden. He made it fun to actually listen to the game. Sure he was a bumbling idiot, but how could you not love the dude?
• Some game overseas. 2 teams will play across the pond, commentators will act like this is so awesome and the fans of those teams will be pissed. Can’t wait.
• Fat Steelers fans.
• Chicks in Green Bay that Packer fans think are hot but are slightly below average but are “hot” because they are in Green Bay where the average weight of a woman is 400 lbs.
• Troy Aikman getting a concussion while sitting in the booth.
