MLB Season Preview: Yankees Edition

Posted by The Crew

The 2009 campaign was a memorable one for the Bronx Bombers. They opened a brand new Yankee Stadium, they spent nearly half a billion dollars on three players, Alex Rodriguez admitted to taking steroids, had hip surgery, came back and dominated in playoffs (god that feels good to say). Oh yeah, and they won their 27th World Series.

One of the more desired perks coupled with sport celebrity is the conceivable copulation, void of conditions. Or in layman’s terms, Groupies. These “driven” ladies used to only scour the popular post-game player hang outs, leaving the athletes’ private lives away from the nightlife scene personal. But with the introduction of social websites, the “wooing” has transfigured in style. No longer are these women satisfied with leaving these encounters to fortunate happenstance. No, these lovely ladies flaunt their famed acquaintances so overtly, it would make Ricky Henderson blush.

http://35isntenough.blogspot.com/2010/02/mini-series-addicts-look-at-player-fan.htmlWhat's up everyone, it's Zach Randolph, Power Forward in the NBA. I was drafted nineteenth overall by the Portland Trail Blazers in the 2001 draft and have since adorned jerseys for three other franchises (New York Knickerbockers, Los Angeles Clippers, and currently the Memphis Grizzlies). I stand six feet, nine inches tall, and was the 2003-2004 NBA season’s Most Improved Player of the year.

Your One and Only Super Bowl XLIV (44) Post

Posted by The crew On Wednesday, February 03, 2010 0 comments

If you're even a casual viewer of the World Wide Leader (ESPN), you probably know that their Super Bowl coverage is a bit, shall we say... over the top? You're inundated with countless statistics to the point your head is spinning and the line between what's important in this game and what’s not becomes blurred (and I can't tell you what I'll do if I hear Mark Schlerth repeat the same thing over and over again. Yes Mark, Saints left tackle Jerrod Bushrod is in heaven right now in light of the Freeney injury. We got it, I just don't want to hear you say it for a 12th time).

This should be your one and only preview you read from here on out. We’ve broken it down to the five most important aspects of this game. It's OK to change the channel on your TV now. Really.

Over the next several posts, we'll outline the way we'll work and what to expect out of us sport-by-sport.

We should note that all of the sections described below are not going to be updated with particular consistency. Whichever category our post happens to fall within is the one it will be categorized in. There is no set quota of posts we're looking to reach either so there may be periods of many posts and some with droughts, but all of this is in an effort ensure that what we do produce is thoughtful, stimulating, and solid. That's not to say there won't be a quick post here or there if the mood should strike us, but it won't be the norm.

Beisbol section is broken into three different sections, Balls and Strikes, Nine Innings, and Minor League Banter.
