The Yankees won the World Series. Yawn. My sports-writing idol Joe Posnanski shares his thoughts on the Yankees. I agree with Posnanski. How else did the 2006 Cardinals win the World Series? That’s the same team that almost blew a 10 game lead in September.

Who doesn’t hate those “FreeCreditReport.com” commercials? If someone made an inflatable punching bag with that annoying guy’s face on it, I would punch it every morning for every time I’ve had to listen to that commercial. It’s horrible.  The US Government doesn’t like those commercials either.

The Onion and Comedy Central are teaming up to make a pilot TV show that would spoof sports coverage.

This isn’t an original concept. Blogs have been bashing ESPN for years. Consumers have been bashing ESPN for years. I haven’t watched ESPN SportsCenter religiously since I was 10 years old. The problem is that if you’re a sports fan, you have to consume ESPN. Fox Sports Net deals only with local sports and has its 30 minute highlight show some nights but I can never figure out what time it actually is on. VS. only has hockey and college football. Oh and bull riding if you’re into that kind of thing.

Comcast might spend a bajillion dollars to buy NBC. Could Comcast attempt to enter the national sports market by beefing up Versus? There is a market for straight reported news on everything not just what ESPN owns broadcast rights to. I’m so sick of ESPN sounding like a sports talk radio show instead of a news outlet. Why are talking heads the new way to deliver information? See MSNBC, Fox News, CNN..ect.

Joke of the Day: Two Musicians’ in a major symphonic orchestra were discussing who they thought the LEAST talented musician in the band was. One of them said; that’s easy. See that guy standing in the back? Well, we just put two sticks in his hands and we call him a Drummer. The other responded; well, if we take one stick away, we call him a Conductor!

Finally, a shout-out to my brother who did this video a couple years ago when he was in high school.
