Sexy reader Michael tells me that this is video from a semipro game in Pecatonica, IL, and we’re so starved for football right now that I’m hard-pressed to turn this away. This is Herculano DaCosta, who’s actually a defensive end for the Roscoe Rush, kicking a 57-yard field goal on one of the worst-looking fields I’ve ever seen. Okay, maybe not worse than Heinz Field on Monday Night Football bad, but it’s up there. I’m sure it was another long bus ride home for the Burlington Blue Devils, but not that I care. The fact that a team named the Blue Devils lost in this clip is really icing on the cake.
I read somewhere that basically said, “If Manny is this good, why would he ever do steroids?” Is it too much to assume that either (a) the benefits he enjoyed from using PEDs are still lingering in his body to some degree, even after his 50-game ban, or (b) that he used his time off to find a way to inject himself without getting caught? Either way, this is a mighty pinch-hit grand slam from Manny in LA last night. It doesn’t look like anyone’s too concerned with getting Ramirez to pee in a cup after that blast. Watching that sort of thing is always kind of a buzzkill, or that’s what my mother-in-law always says. Hey, how was I supposed to know that bathroom door wouldn’t lock?
