 There are many legends in the world of baseball and there are also many superstitions. But the most hysterical one I came across today was the “golden thong.” That’s right the legend of the tiger striped gold thong! It’s a little sliver of material that has joined the jockstraps of many of the Yankees. And who does it belong to? Well the Big G himself Jason Giambi.

Jason said to Franz Lidz of Portfolio.com that he wears the thong to get out of hitting slumps. He also said that he passes the thong around to his teammates for a little luck. And who’s been lucky enough to feel the tight burn of glitter on their groins? Well that’d be Bernie Williams, Derek Jeter, Robin Ventura, Johnny Damon, and Robinson Cano. And those are the only names that Jason spilled!

Now clearly Jason was wearing the tiger striped golden-lame’ loin cloth because he was 2 for 4 with a HR today versus the cross-town rivals the New York Mets, thus bringing his batting average to a whooping .193! Maybe the Yankees should consider that they buy a team shipment of Gold thongs so they all can recover from respected slumps! It’s not coaching, conditioning, or psychiatry … all you need to turn your season around is one of these bad boys, you knew!

ps- yes the photo above is photoshopped! the chick can work many wonders, but getting a pic of Giambi in a thong is no easy task!!

 One of my favorite TV shows is The Hills on MTV. Now, I know it’s fake, but I LOVE IT! The catiness, bitchness, and hot-guy-ness! One of the main characters, Lauren, is now rumored to be dating a “mystery man.”

So as I’m sitting here in my bed watching E! News there is a newsflash …

… Lauren’s mystery man is revealed! Oh My!

So who is the mystery man? According to E! News Lauren’s new BF is Minor League Baseball player Doug Reinhardt. So being the internet-junkie that I am, I quickly googled “Doug Reinhardt.” AND NOTHING ABOUT MiLB CAME UP! So I went a step further and looked up “Reinhardt” on MiLB’s player search. And wouldn’t you know that there is not one minor leaguer with the last name Reinhardt!

He’s probably just some low grade dummy wanna be actor slash model who’s playing a minor leaguer in some upcoming low budget indy movie **exhale** 

 ESPN has a new series called E:60. Supposedly the series chronicles some of the more “in-depth” stories in sports. You know, the late-breaking good stuff! But what is the E:60 story that they plan on running on April 22 (7pm)? Miguel Tejada is actually 2 years older than he originally said! Oh no!

Please, is ESPN truly sending this “big” story out? Apparently so. Tejada was originally signed as a 17 year-old, now according to ESPN he was actually 19 in 1993. Does 2 years really make a difference, and is E:60 really the hard-hitting journalism it claims to be? Discuss! 

Tejada admits to being two years older than Astros thought

After Janet Jackson’s whole “wardrobe malfunction,” the NFL has taken precautions in booking entertainment for games. This all started with Paul McCartney doing the halftime show at the next Super Bowl. Last year’s SB Halftime entertainment was Prince, an artist who is still popular and in demand.

There were rumors flying around the entertainment community that this year’s halftime show would feature either: The Eagles or Bon Jovi. Great choices, and they definitely still appear to NFL fans.

However, it was announced today that Tom Petty would be the halftime show. What?!?! Is he still alive, and if so why would possibily make the NFL think that he appeals to their viewers?

Bad choice NFL, bad choice!

The Mitchell Report is gonna name names, and not just minor league baseball players we haven’t heard about. Supposedly the report will have “big names.” According to various reports the Mitchell Report will rock the sports world. If the players were smart they would “Giambi” the stituation, say they’re sorry and move on. This way when the report is published the public won’t be all up in arms!

The other side of everything is this, will the media stop toying with the public! Tell us when the report is going to be published, not how big the story will be! GIVE ME NAMES! (more…)

Right now the face of Cleveland sports is Cavaliers superstar LeBron James. However, when the Cleveland Indians faced the New York Yankees last night King James was wearing the interlocking N Y on his navy blue cap. Yup that’s right, he was wearing a Yankee hat! LeBron said that he wore the hat because he’s a huge Yankee/Derek Jeter fan and always will be. Unforunately for LeBron the Yanks got hammered and he was heckled all the way home. (more…)

Actress Bridget Moynahan had ex-boyfriend and New England Patriot QB, Tom Brady’s, baby a couple weeks ago. The tot’s name is John Edward Thomas Moynahan, and people laughed and noted that the initials are J.E.T. and that the New York Jets are the Pats AFC East Division rival. Now, OK! Magazine purchased the rights to the first pics of John. What’s surprising is the fact that the media is not calling the baby boy John, but rather calling him Jet! I love it!

Seriously, there is something mentally wrong with OJ Simpson. The once great Buffalo Bill was arrested this past week for stealing sports memorabilia from a Las Vegas hotel room. The total of seven felonies also includes a charge of kidnapping and conspiracy to kidnap. OJ Simpson needs to realize that he is NOT the superstar he once was. In fact, that was a long time ago (I wasn’t even born when he played, hell I was only 8 during “the trail”). He might have been acquitted of a double murder, but guess what OJ? Johnny Cochrane is dead, good luck with this one. ps- The charges could add up to a life sentence, one that is well over due.
