Blogservations - Print Edition


It’s been a big week for us here - we’ve been recognized by deadspin, and we’ve nearly wrapped up negotiations with our first corporate sponsor. On top of that, we’ve done a lot of work perfecting the blog-voice, where we refer to ourselves in plural pronouns, despite the fact that we are a singular entity. We may have some trouble with it, I tend to have trouble with change (Awwww, crap!).

Here’s the latest installment of blogservations - the print version. We call it that, because it’s not very timely. Some of these are weeks old, but both of you reading this will forgive me (awwww, crap!), we’re sure:


Alex Rodriguez caught a ton of flack for shouting some phrase or primal noise in a game against the Toronto Blue Jays, thus causing Howie Clark to spaz and drop the ball.

We’re shocked, not so much because A-Rod would do something that is against “The Code,” but that A-Rod’s lisp didn’t give away the fact that he wasn’t John McDonald.

The media loves to report, and the people love to hear/see/read, bad news. So it’s not shocking that when the NCAA granted every member of the Duke lacrosse team an extra year of eligibility for the missing season it wasn’t headline news - anywhere but North Carolina, that is.

It was another day of vindication for the boys on the team, one that was met with great jubilation. In fact, it was worthy of a party. Lots of booze, lots of strippers, we're told.

Reds outfielder Ryan Freel isn’t quite ready to get back on the field after suffering from a concussion.

I’m shocked that (Awww, crap!) the dude with the imaginary friend is having trouble getting a clean bill of mental health. Shocked, we tell you!

Cowboys linebacker DeMarcus Ware is the latest athlete to sign on the dotted line and become a spokesperson for Chunky Soup.

No punch line, we’re Cowboy fans, so the joke is on us.
