Lebron

Pete’s bit with Ernie Accorsi about the Eli trade – vomit inducing.  Pete says he called Ernie a few days before or some bullshit saying hey I think the Chargers want to deal.  Accorsi:

“I usually picked right away. I wanted to be decisive. Let’s get the guy. I might have done it because I will tell you, not hearing from him on Friday, not heari…

I’d say dead.

Given the history of the Globe, with Mike Barnicle, Patricia Smith, and Jayson Blair, this lack of fact-checking is either incredible or shockingly arrogant.

Wasn’t Blair with the New York Times?

Tough loss lot of chances just didn’t happen.  Sucks but go take a dump on their ice I guess

Those ‘97/‘98 unis were hideous too

Yeah couldn’t go with Irish vacation, maybe Irish weekend at the Cape?

Kevin Cullen on vacation.

Slow day and was looking back at some NHL drafts.  Had no idea that the St. Louis Blues didn’t draft in 1983, like they didn’t make any picks.  Wanted to sell the franchise to a group in Saskatchawan, owners blocked the sale, and the owners basically threw the keys back at the NHL and said here the franchise is yours do whatever you want.  They ha…[Read more]

That Reimer is a terrible writer.  Some column about Get Up

The debut episode April 3 was a ratings disaster, drawing 283,000 eyeballs.

That would be sets of eyeballs you dumb fuck.

Then he’s talking about how Get Up isn’t getting the leftover viewers from the NBA playoffs from the night before

That means, lots of folks are watching the network…

Like those Dominican shortstops Danny, we never really knew Gil’s age.  Baseball…

Drill seargent guy, Barbara Bush and Gil.  They always go in 3s

The newspaper business dying a long painful death has been a real boon for plagiarism. .

Saw highlights of last night’s game and gun to my head I would have sworn JD Martinez was a left handed hitter.  Good to see the baseball bona fides dwindling, here’s hoping the same happens with the NFL.

Sad news about Pop’s wife.

That was fucked up with the TNT broad blindsiding Lebron with a postgame ‘Popovich’s wife died.  Thoughts?’

I don’t like Rafferty on the CBS coverage with Nantz and Hill.  It turns into him and Hill playing grabass all game.

I love how Pete says “eh it’s baseball, part of the game, whaddya gonna do?” when guys spike each other or throw at each other.  But Josh McDaniels is despicable because he decided a particular job opportunity wasn’t right for him.

Just read Pete Kings mailbag during lunch. He’s so incredibly tone deaf on matters of harassment and abuse. It’s like a caricature of a sportswriter.

Here’s something from one of his dear readers

My football-watching friends and I regularly banter about our favorite play-by-play guys and analysts.

Imagine doing this.  You…[Read more]

Rooting for a Torts coached team from the town where Bert went to college is fucked up, but here we are.

Please tell me there’s a tape of Favre bombing his MNF announcer audition.

Also sounds like Fox was ready to bump Aikman out if Peyton wanted it.  ESPN should just go with Matt Hasselbeck or whatever other jerk off they already have.  Not like Get Up ad buys are going to justify an expensive outside hire.
