As I'm still dealing with terrible Mets and Eagles losses from the past weekend, I stumbled upon one of the better written stories I've ever read on ESPN.com. Sure, I'm biased, but the story holds up even if you're not a Mets fan.

Shea Goodbye

well, that was fun

Struggling Mets Combine To Form Carlos Voltron

Via the PJ website:

At the request of Ernie Banks, Eddie threw together a song for the Cubs ("All the Way"). He got a pretty good live version of it at the Auditorium Theatre in Chicago this August. It's now being played on Chicago radio and at the Bleacher Bars around Wrigleyville. We have decided to make the song available for download - you can get it here in the next few days. There's a chance we'll also make available some hard copy CDs and we're looking into souvenir 45 singles, as well. Check back here for the latest.

Makes me wish Ed was a Mets fan. I'd love to hear him sing the WFAN Met's jingle.

If you want to destroy my sweater...

The NHL went to these god awful RBK Edge jerseys last year, which consisted of some horrific redesigns and ventured away from the tradition of your typical hockey sweater.

It was a bone headed move. Ultmately are they going to turn someone on to the mighty puck by having players look like they're playing in glorified pajama tops?

Well, they may be rectifying some of their transgressions by coming out with some sweet alternate jerseys for the 2009 season. Take a look at some of these concepts:









Love the old school looks of the Bruins, Flyers, Sabres, Black Hawks, Oilers, Canucks, and even the hated Penguins look pretty cool.

For some reason, I'm crazy excited for the NHL this year, so you'll have to excuse my limited audience interest post. If you need me, I'll be brainstorming of ways to trick convince MLW that the Center Ice Package is a must.

An idea twenty some years in the making...

Hey...did some of my friends "accidentally" get permission to green light a cartoon?

Karl Rove has stated that John McCain has gone 'Too Far' in his ads. (sound the irony alarms)





I suppose crapping on a dude's purple heart is just far enough.
