Unbelievable Scene of the Day

It's here. It's finally here. Baseball's Opening Day is tomorrow with a slew of meaningless games only to preface the real opening day on Friday when the Red Sox kick off their World Series run in Arlington, Texas against the still Cliff Lee-less Rangers. I can almost taste the Fenway Franks now, and to be a little frank it's getting me a little aroused. Baseball is back ladies and gents. Let's play ball.

P.S. Baseball is America's game, correct? But in reality, football is America's game. With the NFL out of the picture does baseball reassume it's place atop the American sports hierarchy? Or does it slide in at 1b and basketball is the new numero uno (how's my spanish?)? I just don't know anymore. All I know is I love baseball, I love apple pie and I rode in the back of a Chevy once. Go America! Welcome to baseball season folks.

Say It Ain't So: Reggie Jackson to Enter NBA Draft

BOSTON -- Boston College junior Reggie Jackson has made himself eligible for the NBA draft. But the 6-foot-3 guard says he won't hire an agent, so he could remove his name from the list and return to school. Jackson averaged 18.2 points, 4.5 assists and 4.3 rebounds per game last season. He was the team's leading scorer as it rebounded from a sub-.500 season and went 21-13 (9-7 Atlantic Coast Conference) under new coach Steve Donahue. Jackson was named to the All-ACC first team, and earned an honorable mention for The Associated Press All-America team. He has until May 8 to remove his name from consideration and retain his college eligibility.



It's official. Boston's College First-Team All ACC guard has declared for the NBA draft. Jackson has tenatively put his name into consideration, but will not be hiring an agent, which leaves open the possibility of him removing his name and returning to the Eagles next season. Here's my problem. He's not ready. Reggie Jackson, at this point in his career, is not ready to play in the NBA. I get it, I really do. All his boys are graduating. Raji, Biko, Trap, Southern, those were all his boys. I get that. He doesn't want to be back next year with a bunch of snotty little freshman, but he needs one more year to prove he can be the go to guy. He's got all the talent in the world, but there were WAY too many times this year when in crunch time he wasn't demanding the ball, or WAY too many times when he'd be nonexistent for a whole half of basketball, or WAY too many times when good teams locked down on him (think Florida State, think Duke) and he just curled up in the fetal position. Reggie's got all the tools he needs to be an NBA player. He's explosive off the dribble, he can get to the bucket (only when he puts his mind to it though and decides he wants to dunk on someone rather than pussying out with a retreat dribble), he can stick the 3-ball and play either the 1 or the 2. Reggie Jackson is an NBA talent. Just not yet.

P.S. The Scenes recently acquired the "Reggie's Veggies" costumes... Now what the fuck are we supposed to do with a giant carrot and pea pod?

What's With This Facebook Post Goin Around?

This just doesn't make sense to me. This is what I hate about Yankee fans. They hate us because we get right up in their grill and just say we hate them and that they suck, and then they come up with these weird little things they think are insults made up by some 57 year old women made up. Like a disorder? what? Are we 7 years old again? Like man up and tell me Adrian Gonzalez can't hit, or Carl Crawford is slow, or that Jeter is worth 7 billion dollars. See, the funny thing is that I can tie my shoes...and I can copy and paste...and I can win...I think 93 times last year...so I don't see where they are getting this disorder thing from. I guess I'll just take solace in knowing I'm not some jackoff New Yorker whose fat mother came up with some weird Facebook status to try to give the sox some shit before we go 162-0.

PS. The 27-9 argument for world series is just dead wrong. It's 24-9. 3 World Series were won between 1941-1945 while Ted Williams was in France fighting off the Nazi's you sick bastards. Game and set.

PSS. Yankees Suck.

BREAKING NEWS: The NCAA is a Joke

Four former Auburn football players claimed they received thousands of dollars of cash from boosters from a number of schools on an HBO special that airs Wednesday night, according to the website Sports by Brooks.

The players, Chaz Ramsey, Troy Reddick, Stanley McClover and Raven Gray, alleged they received money as part of a pay-for-play scheme during their time at Auburn. None played there more recently than 2007.

"Somebody came to me, I don't even know this person and he was like, 'we would love for you to come to LSU and he gave me a handshake and it had five hundred dollars in there," McClover said in the HBO special, an advance copy of which was obtained by Sports by Brooks. "That's called a money handshake ... I grabbed it and I'm like, 'wow,' hell I thought ten dollars was a lot of money back then."

McClover told "Real Sports" that boosters from Auburn, Michigan State and Ohio State also arranged for him to get money and other inducements such as sexual services when he was being recruited in 2003. He originally committed to Ohio State but switched his commitment to Auburn after receiving cash that he said persuaded him to change his commitment. On that occasion, he said the cash was delivered in a bookbag. The amount was not disclosed.

"I literally passed out I couldn't believe it was true," the HBO transcript quoted McClover as saying. "I felt like I owed them."

Um is this suppose to be news? I mean I've said at least 4 times on here that the NCAA is the most corrupt, joke of an institution this side of FIFA. Obviously schools in the Big 10 and SEC break the rules and pay-for-play. Do people really think Cam Newton was clean at Auburn? The NCAA does this all the time though. They let the teams play the season out amidst controversy (ie. Ohio State and Auburn this year) and then slam them a few months or few years later with sanctions that are barely a slap on the wrist. It's funny though that the biggest culprits are always the schools from the NCAA poster conferences, the SEC And Big 10. Those two conferences are even more of a sham. With the money flying around in the SEC they might as well be a minor league NFL, and the iniquity in the Big 10 they might as well be Richard Nixon in Watergate. It's just a shame that teams like USC, SMU, and UNC, get the harshest of penalties for the exact same crimes that these other schools are committing. I mean god forbid Ohio State's stars, or Auburn's Heisman winner get suspended for their BCS bowl games. Absolutely not because that will cost the NCAA one thing they hate to lose: Money. So the NCAA does what they always do, makes concessions for their favorite sons, let it slide, and then will hammer them with a slap on the wrist 5 years from now. Give me a break.

Fat Jokes are Hilarious

George Lopez is great at what he does

CNN- You see, I know how Kirstie feels.
It was in the late '50s that someone in my grammar school called me " a big fat pig. " At first, I did not know what these guys meant. But it did not take long to figure it out.

And what do people do when they are called a fat pig? Eat.

I was so upset that day that I went home, fixed myself three fried bologna sandwiches and opened a large bag of potato chips. And while I was stuffing my face from sadness, I tried to figure out why on earth someone would be so cruel as to call me a name of a farm animal. And that was not the only name that the guys bullied me with. They called me fat cow. Once they went outside of the barnyard into the circus tent to call me an elephant.

But none of those names bothered me as much as "pig" did. Pigs ate all day and wallowed in mud. Why, that wasn't me!

The name calling continued in high school. It accelerated to some foul language that always came before the word pig. And I tried to look like I took it all in stride and tried not to let it bother me, but it did.

Comedians have told fat jokes for centuries. And you know who laughs at fat jokes don't you? Thin people. Overweight and obese people don't laugh hysterically when they hear a fat joke. Especially now, when there are more overweight and obese people in America, fat jokes have no place in our society.

When people in a position to influence the way other people think -- people who appear on TV in front of a big audience -- ridicule someone for the way they look, they are telling everyone watching that it's acceptable to do that. And that's not funny.

Fat jokes hurt people just like they hurt me beginning in sixth grade. I think of myself as not only a teacher but as a comedian. I love to make people laugh. Now, I tell a lot of jokes, but they are mostly making fun of me.

I hope in my lifetime we can all continue to laugh at ourselves and not put down anyone for what they weigh.

The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Richard Simmons

HAHAHA. Fat jokes are hilarious. How can you rip on George for making a joke. It is a joke, bottom line, It's not a big deal. He's not making a personal attack. He didn't say he didn't like you as a person, he simply made a joke. He's doing his job. Get over it. If you don't like it lose weight. Weight isn't something like race or gender that the person has no control over, Kristie has complete control over her weight. Get over it Rich. Boo Hoo, no one cares that you were overweight in the 6th grade, your not going to get a sympathy vote from me because someone called you a pig, especially if you then tell me you continued to eat more. Lets take a bit of advice from Daniel Tosh:
