People in sports who should get HIV

Due to popular demand from my loyal readers (thanks mom), here I am again today with another fun filled blog. Its 7:30 on a Sunday morning and I'm sitting at work. What does that mean? I'm angry and in the mood to vent. Therefore, introducing the first installment of what will make you feel worse than Tony Montana after killing Manny: People in sports who should get HIV! It's a simple concept really. I just either hate these following sports figured for either good reasons or for no reasons at all. See I can do that because its my blog. Gee, I like having opinions and giving a shit about something,I just wish the other 99% of my generation did too. Boy our future is screwed. Whats next a woman president? Here goes nothing --


Sasha Vujacic - I had to start this off with him. He is the only one who requires an explanation. I'm a Celtics fan so I had to see this disgusting, greasy haired rat face play the Celts 9 times last year. This is the only way in which I feel bad for a Laker fan, having to watch this obnoxious human jump around like hes Richard fuckin Simmons -- oh and of course your hero rapes white girls, cant forget that. But hes famous so the law does not apply to him. Back to Vujacic -- I never thought I'd say this, but I'd rather stare at a picture of Sam Cassell for 2 weeks straight than have to watch Vujacic ever again.

The way Sasha can win back my love: Take a shower and wash that god damn hair. Then dip your head into a woodchipper.

More people who deserve the HIV:

Magic Johns-- oh wait never mind
Tony Allen
Manny Ramirez
Fans who boo players on their own team
That obnoxious guy who sits behind home plate at the Rays home games
Every coach who stuck me in right field and laughed at me -- who's laughing now, I have a blog that the whole world reads!
Scott Boras
Bud Selig
Barry Bonds
My stupid guidance counselor who said I'd amount to nothing -- check out the blog bitch!
Fat fans who go to Fenway Park --be courteous and buy 2 seats you beast
The LA Dodgers announcer (I'm going off memory from my extra inning package last year, but I believe it was the Dodgers announcer who has no partner, just him, who is about as exciting to listen to as a song by Helen Keller)
Tim McCarver
Vince Mcmahon - He has ruined the sport which introduced me to breasts, or as Jerry Lawler called them "puppies." I used to love making my parents pay $44.95 to talk to Paul Bearer for 4 minutes over the telephone. Now it's just become a big joke!

Thats all for now, I'll save some for my next installment of people in sports who should get HIV.

MLB Salary Cap?

Whats up - I'm Josh, I'm a virgin blogger, but since everyone is doing it and I'm part of the wonderful young generation who lack minds of our own and follow cultural trends, here I am. I intend to put in a blog often, but then again I've had a gym membership for about 7 month's and have not even gone more than 10 times. A/K/A I lack initiative. But enough about my riveting life. Why am I qualified to write about sports you ask? Because I have a brain. So just read it and make me famous, like what happened to ESPN's the sports guy, Bill Simmons. So, why am I choosing to write about a salary cap for my first article when we have discovered that 5 of the top 12 home runs kings were on the juice (Arod, Mcgwire, Sosa, Palmeiro, Bonds)? Because we all pretend to care. Every sports writer and fan is pretending to be outraged that we have been cheated by professional ball players. But guess what...Fenway will still sell out every home game this year and the Steinbreners will continue to be able to wipe their asses with Benjamins, because people will continue to show up, media will continue to cover teams and we'll all go on living our lives. So lets cut through the bologna with mustard and get to a topic that does not involve shirveled up nutsacks -- a salary cap. I'm a Red Sox fan. "My team" generally always has spent in the top 5 team salaries since the new ownership and likely will continue that trend, as long as the people in sections 3 through 6 continue to show up to watch the big green poles and the visitors bullpen at Fenway, oh and maybe catch a glance at JD Drew getting hurt in right field. So, as a Sox fan, why would I want a salary cap? To keep those evil New Yorkas from spending money like Charles Barkley and Norm Mcdonald in Atlantic City? No -- I am not in favor of a salary cap for teams. I'm in favor of a salary minimum for teams and their owners. Everyone is quick to blame the Red Sox, Yankees and other free spenders for the bad performance of the Royals and the Pirates. Last I checked the Pirates cleanup hitter was Adam Laroche. I feel its simple. Teams spend money, teams improve. Sure there are exceptions (Marlins and Rays of last year), but in general, teams spend money --> team improves (is competitve) --> fan interest heightens --> team revenue heightens --> team reinvests profits --> and the process continues. Now if your not half asleep by now you may be asking yourself, if theres a salary minimum, wont player salaries go sky high, even moreso than they are now? No. Thats because I propose a player salary maximum. Would the players strike? Perhaps. But I can gaurantee you every current minor leaguer would be more than willing to play for the big club in their place. Then, perhaps these overpiad prima donnas (Manny, A-Rod etc.) will realize...holy shit...I'm being paid...to play baseball! And then hopefully, we can rid the game of steroids, rid the game of $250 million contracts and start to see more guys play baseball the way guys like Trot Nixon, Curt Schilling, Mike Lowell, Bill Mueller, etc. play: for the love of the game.

Until next time, take care of yourself...and each other. Oh and help control the pet population, have your pets spayed or nuetered.
