Manny Ramirez Retires

Looks like Manny is done being Manny. When news first broke that Manny was retiring I was shocked, but shortly thereafter news broke that he had been notified by the MLB that he tested positive for PEDs again and would have to serve a 100-game suspension. Then it all made sense.

It's sad to see him go out disgrace, but he brought this all on himself. How arrogant do you have to be to think you can get away with taking performance enhancing drugs twice?? And during the Barry Bonds trial no less. I used to like Manny, but now he's a disgrace to the game and will NEVER get into the Hall of Fame. Sad.

Random News Shit: SportsCenter Edition

1) Roethlisberger Has Suspension Reduced To 4 Games
This is no surprise, everybody expected this to be the decision that came down since we found out Ben was gonna meet with Roger Goodell today.

Big Ben's returns will come October 17th against the lowly Cleveland Browns, so that should be a nice welcome back victory. For Steelers fans, hopefully they'll be 2-2 by the time he's back, but with the Falcons, Titans, and Ravens on the schedule, there's a strong possibility they'll be 1-3. Especially now that we know Byron Leftwich is gonna be out for at least the first game with a MCL sprain and the Steelers will be forced to rely on either Dennis Dixon or Charlie Batch.

2) Manny Ramirez To Cut Hair Today
Also happening today, Manny Ramirez is expected to cut his hair. Chicago is allegedly flying in Manny's barber from Boston to do the job, but I'll believe it when I see it.

3) Agent Wants Crayton Released From Cowboys
As a Cowboy fan, this whole Patrick Crayton situation pisses me the fuck off. Forget Crayton's agent asking for a release again, the fact that the Cowboys would even consider letting him go when we have to cut our rosters down to 53 players tomorrow is what bothers me. Yeah he's a trusted veteran and all that jazz, but besides that, who's to say Dez Bryant and Miles Austin are going to be healthy for 16 games?? What if one gets hurt?? What if both get hurt?? I'm sold that Dez and Miles are great players, but I'm not sold on their durability. I know Miles stayed healthy in 2009, but before that break out season, he was known to be injury prone. Hell, he was even hurt for a good portion of training camp. And in addition to my concerns with Dez and Miles, Roy Williams' big garbage ass is hurt right now too.

Look, I could go on and on, but the bottom line is this: on top of it being fucked up to keep PC for camp and then dump him at the end, we need this guy on our team! We'll see what happens tomorrow when cuts are made.

4) LenDale White Out For The Season
Tough off season for LenDale, first he's traded by the Titans, then cut by his former college coach, and now he'll miss the entire 2010 season with a torn Achilles tendon. To be fair though, this injury could be due to his falling out of grace with God after his contribution to Tim Tebow's friar haircut. Just putting it out there.

Random News Shit: Urban SportsCenter Edition

1) Carmelo Anthony Offers 5 Stacks For A Kat Stacks Slap
I'll be honest, I didn't really give a shit about this story. If I had, I would've wrote about it Sunday. Even though I never believe anyone when they say their Twitter got hacked after they post come wild shit, I didn't think it was a big deal because it was just a random tweet...then I found out he actually TwitPic'd the $5,000!

What the fuck dude, how idiotic can you be?? I know you're unhappy about still being in Denver when your boys from the '03 draft took their talents to South Beach, but c'mon son! Melo, you're too big for this shit. If you didn't do nothing with Kat Stacks, just ignore the bitch. Done and done. Idiot.

2) Manny Ramirez Set To Join White Sox
Well good for Manny. Thank goodness I didn't drop dollars on that Dodgers jersey back in 2008.

Oh, and Manny definitely is NOT cutting his hair, sorry White Sox.

3) Chris Bosh Gets Engaged
Uhhh, aight then. You sure you wanna do this Chris, you know you're gonna be in Miami for at least the next 5 years, right?? Aight then playa, more power to ya. I guess we'll see you on season 5 of "Basketball Wives."

4) Troy Polamalu's Hair Insured For $1M By Head and Shoulders
Wow. That's it, just wow. All them niggas in the league with dreads must be pissed. I wonder how much Head and Shoulders will insure Tom Brady's golden locks for if he agrees to not cut his hair either?? You know their thinking about it.

5) Shaun Rogers Fined For Gun Charge
The fine was $300,000, but that worked out awesome because he's 1) not gonna see any jailtime and 2) isn't going to be suspended by the NFL. Good deal.

6) Ocho Cinco Fined 25K For Tweeting During Game
I forgot to talk about this last week, but how retarded and petty is this shit?? Seriously, $25,000 for tweeting during a preseason game that he wasn't even in anymore?? Should he have been tweeting during the game?? No, but exactly is the harm done by this, and is it $25,000 worth of harm?? Hell no! Stop being petty, NFL.

1) Manny & Big Papi Tested Positive For PEDs In 2003
Papi, Papi, Papi. When I was at work and saw this breaking news I was stunned! We knew Manny was juicing, but Papi was JUST saying how everybody should be tested and banned from the league if they test positive before the season. Shit is sad, but can we finally stop acting like everybody wasn't juicing in baseball??

And just in case you follow me on Twitter, yes, Bill Simmons is still on suicide watch lol. Can't wait for the next B.S. Report with JackO!

2) Lamar Odom To Stay With Lakers
Son of a bitch! Welp, looks like the Lakers remain in the driver seat in the league. Looks like he's got the 4 years he wanted BUT mostly likely its gonna be worth $33 million instead of the 3-year/$35 million they originally offered. Tough break nigga.

Anyway, Miami HAS to pull off that Boozer trade now for sure!

Manny Hitless In Return From 50-Game Suspension

Man, the baseball season too move fast! It seems like Manny just got suspended a few weeks ago, but it was really May 7th!

Wait a minute, that's a good thing. Hell, the baseball season needs to go even faster because I hate watching the SportsCenter top 10 plays and seeing the same 4 or 5 baseball plays everyday. Soooo boring!

Anyway, Manny went 0 for 3 and walked once in his return to the line-up last night as the Dodgers bested the Padres 6-3 in San Diego. Some people were mad like these guys but for the most part, nobody cares because we know everybody juiced in baseball.

You know what I hate though?? When they try to make Manny seem like this clown-ish cartoon character just because he's out there having fun and not a tight ass like they want him to be. Manny is good for baseball and always has been because for people like me who respect the game but think its boring as hell, its good to have a Manny around.

Manny Tests Positive For Performance Enchancing Drugs

WTF?? Manny is like the most nonathletic people in the Majors, how was he juicing?? I didn't see this coming in a million years, but I guess I shouldn't be surprised because again EVERYBODY was juicing. Still, there is something fishy about this story.

Anyway, Manny is gonna get 50 games and should be back some time in July. More on this later most likely.

Idiocracy 101: Manny, Boras Reject Dodgers Again

First it was a 1-year $25 million deal, now its a 2-year $45 million deal. Fuckin' sign the contract and get on with it! I don't know if Manny or Scott Boras noticed this, but nobody else is bidding against the Dodgers so you're either gonna play for what they Dodgers give you or not play at all. There's no in between. And yeah I know Manny doesn't wanna do the Spring training thing, but come on nigga. This is like the South Park when Canada decided to go on strike lol.

Manny Rejects Dodgers' 1-Yr/$25M Offer

(If you don't get the pic, its Manny's helmet lol).

What is wrong with this nigga?? And by "this nigga" I don't mean Manny, I mean his agent Scott Boras. Scott Boras is like a cancer to good players. He's always chasing too much and fuckin' his clients in the process. Last year it was A-Rod (who had to push him to the side and get his deal done himself), and now its Manny. If Manny wants to play this year and earn ANY money he better quit that bitch and get a deal done. Better hope the Dodgers are willing to put that deal back on the table at a later date because baseball season is steadily approaching.

They Did It, They Finally Did It

Yep, if you haven't heard the Boston Red Sox finally traded away Manny! No more Manny being Manny...well in Boston at least lol. Mr. Ramirez is headed west to the L.A. Dodgers in a 3-way deal with the Pirates which sends Jason Bay to the Sox. [TRADE DETAILS]

As a Yankee fan I'm ecstatic by the news because the Sox definitely didn't get any better by trading him to the Dodgers and right now we're only one game behind them. Boston might go from World Series champs to outside the playoffs looking in. Sad. lol. Meanwhile we just added Pudge Rodriguez who helped the Marlins beat the Yanks back in 2003.

In other trade deadline news, the great Ken Griffey Jr. was traded to the White Sox earlier giving him his first real shot at a title in his entire career...well if the Sox can hang on in the AL Central.

Manny Being Manny

I saw this early this morning on Mike & Mike and this is sick! Manny makes the catch, hi-fives a fan, and then still is about to throw the ball back infield for the double play lol. To add to the gangsta of this play, this was in B-More so he actually had to find a Red Sox fan to hi-five before he did it lol.


Dude is nice!
