You're Fucking Out, I'm Fucking In
In case you missed it, the new HBO comedy 'Eastbound and Down' is dumping on the competition. If you haven't heard of it or seen it yet, then you need to get out from under the rock you live beneath and pull your life together. Seriously. While there are only about 3 more episodes for this season, it's still worth the invested time. The recorded motivational speeches by Kenny Powers alone are worth it.

In case you missed it, you're lucky. This movie sucked royal balls. I stayed up until 1am last night watching this steaming pile of a movie because I had to see just how much shittier it could get. And I was surely not disappointed (and don't call me Shirley). For shame Rotten Tomatoes for giving this movie an 85%. More unforgivable than your 62% for 'Spiderman 3', which sucked worse than Jimmy Fallon's interview with Robert De Niro.
Women's Reserved Court
In case you missed it, Tom and I suffered the shame and embarrassment of segregation the other day at our local recreational center. We were waiting in line patiently for a "pick-up" basketball game on the only court available (the rest were being used for intramurals). As we waited, a large group of women made their way to the court we were waiting at and told us that "this court was the Women's Reserved Court". We looked around for the Men's Reserved Court, but it was nowhere to be found. I've never felt more violated in my life. I mean, the way those women spoke to us...as if we weren’t even their equals. Just the thought of trying to get into another pick-up game now makes me shake.
Baseball
In case you missed it, Spring 'league/training/whatever the fuck you bitches who like baseball call it' is back. This happens to me every year. I get lulled into a place of peace in my life, where baseball is in the offseason and thus ceases to exist to me. Then...BAM! Every damn sports related channel is coving Spring league and trades and gay ass books by douchy managers. You may ask, "Why don't you just change the channel and watch something else?" Well, I can't. Because for some reason, the majority of dumbass Americans decided that baseball was "America's past-time", and that regardless of how badly it makes you want to hammer a nail through your temple, we're going to show games 9 months out of the year (probably more; I can't keep track anymore). I guess I'll have to just look forward to 9 or so months from now, when I'll be able to forget all over again that this horrible horrible "sport" exists.
Until Next Time,

In terms of "length of season," the NFL coverage is waaay worse. Every time I have SportsCenter on and hear the announcer utter the words "NFL Field Pass... Injury Report, Prediction, Key Matchup," I may or may not want to kill myself. And, to have to listen to John Clayton, Mark Schlereth, and Sean Salisbury may just be worse than David Haugh's Tribune articles on the Bears. I could go on and on.
And, unfortunately for you, baseball was the most popular sport in this country for a very long time.
I agree with Haney. Baseball is barely a sport and shouldn't be shown regularly on any station, but especially not on ESPN, the sports channel. At least not until the playoffs. Hell, I would even settle for a TV schedule that only covered the last half of the season (a scant 81 games!!!). How the hell can you baseball fans get excited about a baseball game knowing that each win or loss will only account for about .6% of your favorite team's final record? People criticize the NBA season for being too long and it's half the length of the MLB season. W. T. F.
great call, baseball is the equivalent of disco music, no one cares except for daddies who want to impress their kids by taking them to games and old men
