I’m enjoying the first game of the World Series while I write this drop.
Epic battle between Lee and Lincecum right now tied up deuces all.
I thought about Michael Jordan’s attempt to play baseball and the shoes he was wearing while striking out on curveballs. The AJ IX’s were fresh to def.
Air Jordans were sick basketball shoes but they were even iller baseball cleats. Str8 futuristic.
I never saw anyone rock these Air Jordan X’s on the diamond.
These joints are str8 Jermaine Dyes.
The Heat’s undefeated season just went out the window.
If they thought Boston was tough (and they are), wait until they get a load of the LakeShow
The biggest scourge on professional sports isn’t steroids or human growth hormone abuse. It’s the damage that is done to player’s longterm health caused by brain injury. Concussions are incredibly dangerous and shockingly underreported. I think part of the problem is that our hyper-masculine culture won’t acknowledge perceived weakness inside of sports.
I remember how DONAVAN McNABB was lauded for playing a football game on a broken leg. His effort became heroic and legendary. When my Jets had KEN O’BRIEN under center he was chided for not being able to withstand the crushing hits from defensive linemen and linebackers.
The thing is this… Today’s athletes are fucking machines that are so well conditioned they can run laps around the players from yesteryear. Football players wear so much equipment that they are veritable weapons in polycarbonate armor. If the league REALLY wanted to protect players they would remove all the body armor and put flags in the offensive players waistbands.
There isn’t any other way to prevent these athletes from knocking themselves silly unless you remove the equipment that enables them to propel themselves thru the air with reckless abandon. The number of players suffering from concussions is getting ugly.
It’s time again for the players to just be plain ugly.
As his first bid in prison winds down Lil’ Wayne, one of MTV’s hottest MC’s for 2010, leaves us with some of his unfiltered thoughts.
