the million dollar man-ning

Yes, i know the title is cliche but oh well. New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning has signed a contract extension with the Gmen worth 97 million over 6 years. with a contract that size, he better fulfill his duties to the Giants. is it well deserved? well, in his 4 years as a starting qb he has led NY to the playoffs, including a Super Bowl victory. (hmm, who was that team they beat? i remember something about a perfect season being ruined). Needless to say, it is going to be one kick-ass Christmas at the Manning household this year. Peyton, Eli's older brother, is making some bank as well from the Colts and his thousands of endorsers.


The Red Sox and Yankees revisit the epic rivalry tonight in the Bronx, and it doesnt look too promising for the Sox. after being swept by the Rays in a 2 game series, the Red Sox seem tired and sluggish at the most inopportune time. Left fielder Jason Bay will most likely be out for the first two games of the Yankee series with an injured hamstring. John Smoltz gets the start for the Sox tonight facing Joba (real name Justin) Chamberlain. game 2 doesnt look much better for the Sox either with Clay Buchholz getting the nod. atleast for games 3 and 4 Boston has Beckett and Lester, which is promising from the pitching perspective, its just a matter of if the bat's will show up or not.


49er's first round draft pick Michael Crabtree looks like he is going to sit out the 2009 season and re-enter the draft in 2010. there is really nothing i hate more than a primadonna athlete that has yet to take part of an official NFL play but thinks he is owed more money than the entire system's worth. this texas tech punk better reevaluate his situation before he follows the footsteps of inmate Maurice Clarette. i know its the 49ers, but pro football means pro football contracts. just sign it, play the games, and take your money. is there really any problem with signing a huge contract for playing a sport? cmon now Crabtree.


Milwaukee Brewers' lovable giant/1st baseman Prince Fielder was not the typical teddy bear he normally is. instead, the grizzly bear that is Prince was all sorts of pissed off when pitcher Guillermo Mota plunked him with a 95mph fastball in the thigh after the Brewers threw at Dodgers slugger Manny Ramirez in their blowout of a game. once the game ended, Fielder left the Brewers clubhouse and decided to make tracks towards the Dodgers clubhouse where he was stopped by fellow teammates and Dodgers security. there is an unwritten rule of baseball that when u plunk the other teams best hitter, they can retaliate. but thats it. u leave it on the field. once the game is over, the drama ends too. Fielder overreacted and hopefully MLB makes it known that behavior like that is unacceptable.

for a vegetarian, fielder sure acted like a meathead by going after mota after the game.

thats all i got for ya right now, my face is still super huge from my wisdom teeth being removed so im going to ice my cheeks now. later!
