Rule of thumb: video of a fan getting kicked in the chest by a basketball player wearing the logo of my seventh-favorite fast food restaurant gets posted. Dude, the team is even named “Burger King.” How awesome is that? I want this happening in American Sports immediately, if only so I can cheer on the Jacksonville Mike’s Hard Lemonade and the St. Louis Tampax Sanitary Napkins. Guess which team would be the bleeder. Yeah, I went there. Video’s after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
Horrible economy aside, the Yankees and Mets deserve a lot of grief for how they’ve financed their new stadiums [stadia?] that opened earlier this year. Those teams asked season ticket holders to help shoulder the costs for their new respective digs, and…you’re not gonna believe this, but those fans aren’t as jazzed about baseball as the teams thought they would be. From the New York Times:
The teams have been recalibrating their prices. The Yankees cut in half the price of their seats behind home plate, some of which originally cost $2,650. The Mets have discounted box seats by as much as 50 percent, even against rivals like the St. Louis Cardinals.
Even the market for Mets-Yankees games, once the hottest ticket in town, has cooled. For the game at Citi Field on Friday, the average price of a ticket offered for resale online has fallen by more than one-third in the past month, to $165, according to FanSnap.com, which tracks ticket prices in the secondary market.
The worst of it all is there are tons of great seats with nobody in them for a lot of these games. It’s the same thing at the Nationals’ park and others around the league, I’m sure. I guess everyone assuming that corporate money was always going to be there wasn’t such a wise move. And I just assumed that rich people would be rich forever and would always want overpriced tickets for baseball games. What a sobering lesson this has been. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to help my favorite prostitute replace the mirror installations on her bedroom ceiling.
And this time he has floor seats to a Chicago Bulls game, and he can’t believe that they even let him down there. Son, you got the damn ticket. It’s not like your riding a public bus in Birmingham in the 1950s. The NBA has nothing but love for those that get money and get paid. Still, this video could use some Egyptian garbage cans and a better juice selection. It’s too bad that when he gets his own show on NBC that we’ll actually see his face; that’ll kill some of the mystery for me. Unless, of course, he looks dead on Martin Laurence.
I think we can all agree that the ideal sports blog would be one that just had photos of pissed-off cats wearing paraphernalia of various sports teams. Anyone disagree? Yes? Well guess what, 
your vote doesn’t count anyway.
People, I cannot stress this enough: we have a tips line. You have cameras. There are plenty of cats out there. Do the math.
UPDATE: Hey, I wonder who drove them home after the game?
I don’t want to hear anyone bad-mouthing this young man for showing his Cubs fandom at spring training by wearing a cropped women’s top. Yes, Wrigley Field is located close to Boystown, but there’s no need for anyone to call his sexuality into question. There could be any number of explanations, and you shouldn’t need to insult this gentleman just to feel better about yourself. Like, maybe that was his sister’s favorite top, and she died and now it has lots of sentimental value. Maybe he lost a bet. Maybe it’s just a really comfortable shirt.
…or maybe you’re just jealous of those abs, you catty little bitch.

Many times I’ve thought to myself, “Y’know, I really want to like watching hockey on TV, but there are just never enough bare tits for my liking.” And while that statement is actually true in any event, I have to give credit to the camera man and producers responsible for showing this busty Panthers fan flashing the crowd (Sorry, the clip is censored).
“Hey boss, this girl keeps rubbing her breasts real sexy. Should I cut away?” “No no, let’s wait and see what happens.” **leans forward, places chin on fist**
