“The Atlanta Braves and Atlanta Police Department are investigating the tragic accident that resulted in the death of a 25-year old male fan at last night’s game,” the statement said. “Our sincerest and heartfelt condolences go out to his family.”

Hey Braves - if you’re so stinkin’ sad about this, why do you allow people to get drunk on your property?

I wonder if the next Budweiser advertisement on television will show a re-enactment of this man drunk out of his mind from drinking their product falling off the stadium at Turner Field… they would if they were concerned about truth in advertising.

Our Representatives in Washington D.C. are obviously very very bored:

WASHINGTON — College football’s Bowl Championship Series system is illegally rigged against schools that are not members of the six largest conferences, potentially costing them millions annually and frustrating fans over which team is the national champion, House lawmakers charged Thursday.

The 53 Division 1 universities on the outside are left with “crumbs,” said Rep. Neil Abercrombie, D-Hawaii, a lead sponsor on a resolution introduced Thursday calling for the Justice Department to investigate whether the BCS is illegally restraining trade.

“Everybody else is … looking in as if they were Oliver Twist with a little begging bowl … saying, ’Please Mr. NCAA Bowl Championship Series director, may we have some more gruel,’ ” said Abercrombie, an alum of the non-BCS University of Hawaii.

Tell me, what does college football have to do with the United States Congress?  Nothing. These corrupt, bloated, criminal men and women are so hard up for something to do that they have to invent their own freaking busywork!

If these freaking people would just do us all a favor and go on vacation for a few years (preferably out of the country) we’d all be better off!

It’s sad that Shea Stadium is going to be torn down soon. Seems like baseball has become so much of a business that there’s no value for nostalgia or tradition. Yankee Stadium is going too.  Pretty soon Wrigley Field will be gone.

At least the Mets won.  When you read the article, it says at first that the man was at the game with his family. Later on, however, the article revels that his pregnant wife and two other children were at home.  So what’s this guy doing?  Getting toasted at the baseball game with his cousins?  I don’t know, but this sure is a sad story.

NEW YORK — A man attending a New York Mets game with his family lost his balance on an escalator and fell two stories to his death, police said.

Antonio Nararainsami, 36, and several relatives, including his two young daughters, were leaving the stadium at the end of Tuesday night’s game against the Washington Nationals when he fell in a section below the left field stands and landed on a concrete floor. Nararainsami, a Guyanese native who lived in Brooklyn, was taken to a hospital, where he was pronounced dead half an hour later.

Kevin Prashad, a cousin who attended the game, said Nararainsami was walking down the escalator, which wasn’t moving, and was holding the hand rail when he “lost his footing.”

Just when you thought that obese human males had no useful purpose on earth (saving the opportunity to boost health care costs and to recycle piano crates), think again.  The Florida Marlins have assembled a cheer squad called the Manatees, composed entirely of dog-ugly, obese males to cheer on the team.

You have to admit that this is not the first lousy idea to come from the Marlins’ organization.

We’ve known for a long time that the British have become a nation of New Age weenies. Now they are bowing to the demands of communist China so their dear athletes can participate in the Olympics. From the article:

British Olympic chiefs are to force athletes to sign a contract promising not to speak out about China’s appalling human rights record – or face being banned from travelling to Beijing.

The move – which raises the spectre of the order given to the England football team to give a Nazi salute in Berlin in 1938 – immediately provoked a storm of protest.

The controversial clause has been inserted into athletes’ contracts for the first time and forbids them from making any political comment about countries staging the Olympic Games.

It is contained in a 32-page document that will be presented to all those who reach the qualifying standard and are chosen for the team.

From the moment they sign up, the competitors – likely to include the Queen’s granddaughter Zara Phillips and world record holder Paula Radcliffe – will be effectively gagged from commenting on China’s politics, human rights abuses or illegal occupation of Tibet.

Now that you mention it, no country of the “free world” should participate in the Olympics as long as it’s hosted by such an enemy of humanity such as China.

More news of past habits of Patriot cheating.  Now the cheaters are operating under the protection of the NFL Commissioner.  Remember the last time the Giants faced the Patriots?  In the pre-game, the lecherous  commissioner  appeared on TV and stated, “History will be made tonight.”  That means that he knew before the game that the Giants would  lose.

The sham continues with tonight’s Superbowl.  If I were the Giants, I wouldn’t even bother showing up.

The disgusting creature we know as Barry Bonds has finally been indicted for someof his criminal activity.

His record should be erased from baseball and his name should be associated only with disgrace.

On a brisk fall night, the Furman Paladins faced the Belmont Bruins in a hotly contested soccer match. As you know, Furman clinched the number 1 spot in the Southern Conference last Saturday vs. Elon. With a 14-2 record over all and a spotless record at home, we were expecting Furman to have an easy ride vs. Belmont.  Besides, this weekend is homecoming, so surely “they” scheduled a lousy team to play: WRONG.

Things started out pretty well. A good crowd assembled on the home side and Furman came out strong in the first half, ending it with a 1-0 lead. Furman’s defense was bulletproof, and their offense was aggressive enough to keep the ball near the Bruins goal nearly the entire half.

The second half was different. The Bruins’ coach must have given the team a royal butt chewing because the team came out aggressively and with brute force after half time.  Furman, on the other hand, was lethargic. They seemed a bit overconfident and lacked the fighting spirit of the first half.  Belmont scored in the last 8 minutes of the match to send both teams into overtime.

The big surprise was the first overtime period.  With less than 32 seconds off the clock, Blemont found an amazing gap in the Paladins’ defense and put a long, forceful shot right into the far corner to win the game.

Overall I must say that the game was well played. It was competitive, and only one card was given. The crowd seemed to be in violation of Southern Conference rules with the way they were bad-mouthing the referee, who made a good number of controversial calls.  Concessions were good and a number of the soccer fans left Stone Stadium to visit the Homecoming festival taking place on the main mall.

Inside a packed Paladin Stadium, the Mountaineers of Appalachian State showed everyone why the Paladins suck this year.  A great afternoon for football manifested a Paladin offense that could not consistently get through the Mountaineers’ - a defense known as being weak.  Perhaps the most frustrating illustration of Furman’s incompetence was their failure to score from ASU’s 3-yard line.

Offensively, the Mountaineers dominated.  Nothing was able to stop them except for a small variety of penalties.  Furman’s defense was in full “Swiss Cheese” mode, as they allowed the Mountaineers to move at-will down the field, even on 4th downs!

The Furman crowd, though large, was quiet for almost the entire game.  The only time we heard from them was when a mini scuffle broke out between opposing players in the 3rd quarter. Other than that, the home crowd was motionless, quiet, and depressing.  Even as the referees showed a clear bias towards ASU, the defeated fans started filing out of the stadium less than halfway through the 3rd quarter.

The ASU fans were completely different: they were enthusiastic, loud, motivated, and persistent - an asset that surely helped the Mountaineers play an upbeat game.  The ASU band must have been 4-times the size of the Paladin Regiment and was so loud, they could drown out the PA announcer as they desired.

The result? A downtrodden, downcast, demoralized home team and home crowd.  For them the game was even worse since they had to see and hear all the fun that was across the field as they wallowed in the despair of a disgraceful, pathetic embarrassing season put on by their team.
