That was pretty much what I said it would be.
Manchester City won a thriller against Newcastle. It was an incredibly entertaining game that they took control of with two goals 5 minutes in and then hung on to win 3-1. Now comes the 2011 calendar year and chasing Manchester United. Just a satisfying result and something I’ll hang my hat on as a sports fan, because right after I watched that, I watched:
The Giants. Where do I start? Eli...

About those Rangers
The same night everybody in New York decided they were Knicks fans again, the Rangers beat the Penguins 4-1 coming off the heels of a 7-0 whooping of the Capitals. They also now have more points than the Devils and Islanders combined. My attention was on the Knicks for most of the night, and in the flash I had heard the Rangers turned a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 (and then a 4-1) lead. It looks like...

Cliff Lee's contract:
Per twitter, he’s going to make $23 million a year for the next 5 years with an easily vested 6th year option. Or, roughly the same amount of money annually that the Yankees offered. He went to a slightly less fabulously rich team for a ridiculous sum of money, so can we agree that it was still at least kind of about the money? At least, let’s all stop acting like he’s passing up...

In all seriousness:
From the Mets perspective, it makes playing the Phillies more unpleasant in the short term and gives another jersey option for all the lovely Philadelphians that visit CitiField when they’re in town. Otherwise, 2011 was essentially a reloading years regardless. Carry on and don’t get too caught up in what happens in 2011, it probably isn’t and wasn’t going to be “the...

Phillies fans rejoice!
You’ve watched baseball for 3 or 4 solid years during the time the Eagles aren’t playing, and now you have the superteam you richly deserve! Make you celebrate as much as possible, because World Series are always won in December and pitchers over the age of 30 never decline or get injured. And a good job by the geniuses in the Bronx that spit at Cliff Lee’s wife, I’m sure...

NBC 4 Sunday Night!
The best hour of late night TV you’ll see all week? Absolutely!
Mike’d Up - WFAN legend Mike Francesa offers his invaluable sports opinions in this weekly wrapup show, interspersed with highlights of football games you probably saw hours ago. Such is the gravitas of this program that it’s spawned its own Twitter hashtag. Just don’t expect him to talk about hockey, as...

Nice try, Hyundai.

Romance Books Are Hot in the E-Reading Market →
I stumbled across this while reading the other article about the idiots from Brooklyn. There are a few things I learned here and learning something new is always fun:
There a very successful blog called “Smart Bitches, Trashy Books”. Alright, then.
There’s now a greater than 0% chance that I’ll think you’re reading smut on your kindle.
And there’s this:
So...

Not even City could pull that off.
In the 2nd round of the English FA Cup, Droyslden (a conference team) led Leyton Orient (of League One) 2-0 with 16 minutes to go and proceed to lose 8-2.
8-2!!!!
That really sucks.

“Jets coach Rex Ryan, though, didn’t feel like the Patriots were being sincere.

– Well done, Rex. Give yourself a hand. You sure showed them.
Rex Ryan senses sarcasm in Patriots’ admission that Jets are ‘great team’

I have a problem with these Trojan commercials.
Do people normally go out of their way to share their condom experiences with the cashier at their local drugstore? I’m just saying, if you’re going in to buy condoms, I assume most people want to be in and out of there as fast as possible (that’s what he said amirite?). Unless, of course, you get some kind of weird pleasure out of sharing with the dude or chick ringing you up at...

So I'm applying for a writing gig...
…and I have to write a sample description of some kayaking place in Georgia, with humor. So I’m two sentences in and I’ve already made a joke about the Atlanta Braves’ playoff failures. This is going well.
