Nine Days Until Pitchers And Catchers Report (0)

2/08/10 •

Okay, I’m not jumping into some of my patented crappy thoughts on baseball yet.  My Monday morning hangover brain first has to give congrats to the New Orleans Saints for winning the Super Bowl last night, and apparently according to ESPN this makes up for everything Katrina related.  Whew, that is a weight of my [...]

Freddy Garcia Loves the Cubs (0)

2/05/10 •

Sox Fest got more interactive than usual this year.  Check out Freddy Garcia, who is either inebriated or suffering from some kind of ear infection that’s affecting his balance, riling up Sox fans with some old fashioned Cub bashing. 

Freddy’s drunken slurring may prove prophetic.  When you consider the Cubs and their Money Pit starting outfield, shaky closer, [...]

New Orleans Super Bowl Drinking Game (0)

2/04/10 •

We here at Statleague haven’t done really any coverage leading up to this weekend’s Big Game.  We aren’t sorry.  It’s not that we aren’t excited about the culmination of the NFL season, it’s because the two week media blitz is a 264 hour long pre-game show that should be avoided.  I feel like I can [...]

2/04/10 •

In an effort to minimize the amount of residual drunkeness among the local school bus driving force, the city of Indianapolis is delaying school for two hours this coming Monday.  The schools have learned their lesson from the recent past when the district had to cancel school after so many bus drivers called in sick the [...]

Favre Shows Off The Purple And Gold (1)

2/02/10 •

ESPN has a new reason to cream in their jeans over Brett Favre according to the Clarion Ledger down in Mississippi.  They will no doubt be touting these bruised and battered up photos as more proof that Brett is a warrior, an all-American hero, and that every morning he shits out gold.
The pics are supposedly [...]

In a down economy, fantasy players just tend to move from pay leagues to free ones. Good news for the big boys like ESPN and Yahoo. #
In a bold but predictable move, ESPN decided that Favre not making the Super Bowl will actually increase the amount of coverage he gets. #
Fantasy football players average 90 [...]

Paul Shirley: Contrarian or A-Hole? (3)

1/26/10 •

After his essay on the Haiti situation, it’s clear he’s both.  Shirley wrote a head-scratching essay in which he admonishes Haitians for being poor and compares donating to the relief effort to giving a homeless guy a dollar.  It’s clear he’s not going the conventional route in gaining an admiring audience.
The baffling theme behind this [...]
