This is Cleveland Indians TV broadcaster Bruce Drennan, who apparently hasn’t realize that the Indians have spent the last few years selling off every decent player that the team has had. But that doesn’t stop him from ripping the team another posterior cavity on air.

To call this not-quite-angry tirade “magical” seems like such an understatement. The Indians, whose 10 wins are third from last in the bigs with 10 wins on the season, weren’t exactly expected to contend for the AL Central. That makes this blowup from Drennan–barely a month into the regular season–all the more hilarious. It’s going to be a long year, Bruce. Take a pill. Read the rest of this entry »

Old people say some funny stuff. I’m not sure what age you get to when things just start coming out of your mouth that are both hilarious and absolutely nonsensical at the same time, but the moment I get there I’m sure life frees up a little.

White Sox announcer Hawk Harrelson is 68, a former Major Leaguer, and after Bobby Jenks ended a 8-7 win over the Blue Jays in the 11th inning, the Hawk let us all know how nervous he was.

The exact words there was what you thought. “You couldn’t pull a greased tee out of my behind with a pair of pliers.” You know, Hawk? We will take your word for it.

This is Chris Kamara, and he is already my favorite futbol reporter of all time. Because this is exactly how I would do football reporting. I don’t want to overdo the setup because Kamara’s reaction totally makes this for me. I just love how it unfolds. Thanks to readers Colm and Ryan. Read the rest of this entry »

Yankees TV analyst David Cone employs an interesting choice of words when discussing the intricacies of big-league pitching. New Stadium Insider caught video of David Cone’s thoughts on pitcher Joba Chamberlin, who apparently was prompted by catcher Jorge Posada to not “jerk it off.” Pitchers usually aren’t much for modesty, but this could bring a whole new meaning to “control issues.”

This is an encore jerkoff mention for Cone, who made a similar comment (although seemingly with a completely different intended meaning) last month when the Yankers were in Kansas City. I had no idea the phrase was so versatile. That video is after the jump.

TNT sideline announcer Craig Sager wore a particularly heinous suit this weekend — I mean, even for him – and Kevin Garnett rightly instructed him to burn the entire thing.

One thing about this clip stuck out to me, and it’s when KG says even Sager’s lime green thong needs to go.  And that reminded me of Sager’s epic Hugh-Hefner-meets-clown-from-It interview with DC Sports Bog this past summer.  That’s the one where he talked about loving Bud Light, blonds, Hooters restaurants, and — yes — wearing matching thongs.  My point is, Sager probably did burn that suit later that night.  Along with the hooker he strangled.

Former WNBA star Stacey Dales left her job as a sideline reporter and analyst for ESPN because the Worldwide Leader apparently refused to fly her first class.  Oh no they dih-in’t, you go girl, etc.

In negotiating a new three-year contract in December, Dales said she reached an impasse with the network over a travel provision that she did not specify. However, an ESPN source confirmed an Internet report that Dales was unhappy with flying coach while many of her colleagues were flying first class.

“At some point, you have to take a stand at whatever you are doing in life,” Dales said. “That’s not sounding like a feminist. That’s not sounding like a spoiled, rotten kid. That’s making a business decision that affects the quality of your life. That was an important thing for me.”

She then pressed the call button repeatedly and added, “Hello?  What’s it take to get another glass of champagne over here?!?!”
