Bill Parcells Coors Light Commercial

Here is a classic Coors Light commercial featuring former Patriots coach Bill Parcells:

David Ortiz can't hit a HR to save his life!

David Ortiz has now gone 113 ABs without a HR. His BA sits at a disappointing .221. Elrey and I were recently discussing whether we think Big Papi was a steroid and PED user or not. It is worrisome when you hit 54 HRs in 2006, 35 in 2007, 23 in 2008, and can't hit a lick in 2009.

Maybe David Ortiz should consider another sport?

Tyrone McKenzie out for season

Patriots linebacker Tyrone McKenzie, a 3rd-round draft pick out of South Florida, is out for the season with a torn ACL in right knee. He was injured while participating in drills during the team’s rookie minicamp last weekend in Foxborough. McKenzie figured to vie for time with Tedy Bruschi and Gary Guyton at inside linebacker next to Jerod Mayo, meaning that the Pats may look to bring in another player to the mix at the position.

Sox 5 for 5, but what is Chamberlain's deal...?

With tonight's win at Yankee Stadium, the Red Sox have now won all five contests against the Yankees this year.

More importantly, though, what is the deal with Joba Chamberlain? If he thinks he's developing a reputation as somebody who guys are scared to hit against, he's wrong. Throwing at Jason Bay, after he had previously homered, was blatant and bush league. If he thinks it will help to fire up his team, he's wrong again. Simply stated: if you are not motivated to play in the Red Sox/Yankees rivalry as soon as you walk onto the field, you shouldn't be wearing the Red and Blue or the Pinstripes. The Yankees don't need Joba throwing at players and further motivating the Red Sox.

If Joba was throwing at Bay in order to instigate a brawl, he need only watch this video:



Joba better hope the Red Sox don't retaliate later in the season. We all know what happens when the Red Sox participate in a rumble: they go on to win Championships.

Patrick Chung Coin Toss Video

This is a classic video featuring Pats safety Patrick Chung. I love the reaction of the Purdue guys. Chung is #15, on the far left, talking with the referee.

There goes slimy...

The Boston Celtics defeated the Chicago Bulls 4-3 to move onto the Eastern Conference semifinals. This series will go down as "the greatest series not to have a trophy awarded at the end of it."

Brad Miller, a.k.a. "slimy" or "cry-baby" was a whining pest the whole series. Tommy-Gun (and everyone else in Boston) was happy when he fouled out towards the end of Game 7.

I would like to tip my cap to Vinny Del Negro and the coaching job he has done. The Bulls put up quite a fight.

The Celtics move on to face the Orlando Magic in the next round. Expect a large dose of Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis.

Great E-Mail

This has to be one of the greatest e-mails of all-time. A reader sent this to Bill Simmons after the Patriots defeated the Chargers 38-14 in Week 2 of the 2007 season:

"Just thought you'd be curious as to the Super Duper Triple Secret 15 Scripted Plays that Norv Turner kept locked in a hermetically sealed vault guarded by the Secret Service, as reported by Andrea Kremer, a script so secret that he'd only tell his players right before the game: Here are the 15 plays of sheer offensive genius:

"1) Throw interception to Colvin left
"2) Run Tomlinson off left tackle for 2 yards
"3) Throw incomplete pass down the right side to Davis
"4) Throw left to Gates short of the first down
"5) Punt
"6) Run Tomlinson off left guard for 2 yards
"7) Run Tomlinson off left guard for 8 yards
"8) Run Tomlinson off right guard for 2 yards
"9) Run Tomlinson up the middle for 4 yards
"10) Sweep Tomlinson right for minus-1 yards
"11) Throw left to Jackson for 14 yards
"12) Get sacked by Colvin, and fumble
"13) Run Tomlinson off left guard for 3 yards
"14) Throw right to Tomlinson for 6 yards
"15) Run Tomlinson off left guard for 0 yards

"Play 16 was a punt. Norv's offensive genius is just stunning, I'm amazed the Patriots survived that game."
