What we learned from the weekend that was…

We’re Going to Miss Skip Caray. It was kind of a shock to wake up this morning and learn about the passing of Skip Caray. If you know how many bases are in a baseball diamond and you’ve spent more than a day in the Southeast over the last thirty years you’re probably familiar with the voice of Skip Caray. Braves games are going to be weird without him.

Steve Smith Prefers to Be a Fantasy Sleeper. The Panthers wide receiver received a two game suspension for kicking the shit out of teammate Ken Lucas. We’re not sure we agree that someone should be punished for being a superior fighter (how we got jail time for punching that girl scout when she started it is beyond us), but we’re almost certain Steve Smith just likes to stack the chips against himself from a fantasy perspective. It’s called motivation, bitches.

The Only Thing More Awkward Than Favre Showing Up in Green Bay Would Be Kobe Showing up at That Hotel in Colorado.

Paul Pierce Is Immune to DUIs. There’s nothing quite as glorious as being not quite drunk enough to get a DUI. Is taking a cab home after beating a road test the weirdest Catch-22s ever?

This Jason Bay Thing Might Work Out. Scoring winning runs, ripping critical dingers, Jason Bay is quickly turning himself into Boston’s next Nomar. You know, back when Sox fans thought Nomar was awesome, not sucky.

Our Amber Heard Restraining Order Is in the Works. This chick is finally getting the internet recognition she deserves and that means two things: 1) More pictures and 2) More us being creepy when looking at said pictures.

Mark Cuban Would Serve Billy Goat Burgers at Cubs’ Games. We are firmly against loud-mouthed, meddling ownership in sports, but somehow Mark Cuban has endeared himself to us. It has something to do with him being just enough parts goofy and amusing. That’s why we’re all for him buying the Cubs. This town needs an enema!

Don’t You Hate Bikini Tops? Ronaldo’s ex-girlfriends do too. NSFW.

If Al Davis Isn’t Retiring, You’re Not Retiring. To keep his consecutive streak of bonehead decisions alive Javon Walker recently attempted to retire. Then Al Davis talked some sense into him. Or scared the shit out him.

Anti-Racism Ads That Make Racism Look Fun Probably Aren’t Effective. Our friends at Banned in Hollywood posted this picture over the weekend. We saw it and spent the next ten minutes laughing then feeling guilty for laughing. Quite the vicious circle.
