The
New York Yankees continued their interleague dominance yesterday with a
resounding 23-0 win over the visiting Chicago Bears. The Bears looked
confused at times during the contest, with Rex Grossman giving up 8
runs in the first inning and was pulled after the second. "Well, I'm
still confident that I'll eventually find some type of ball I can throw
well, but it obviously isn't a baseball or football," said Grossman
after the contest. "I can really gun a soccer ball well, but apparently
that isn't even allowed in that sport. It's a shame."
328-pound
Bears shortstop/guard Terrence Metcalf made 4 errors in the game and
showed very limited range when pivoting to turn the double play. There
was talk after the game of sending him back down to the minors to trim
off a few hundred pounds. "Look, I'm not even sure of the rules of this
damn game," said Metcalf. "These little guys get to run around in front
of me, and they yelled at me the one time I tried to tackle one of them
who was rounding second. We also have got to wear these #### long pants
with stripes. I hate this sport."
Bears GM Jerry Angelo took time
after the game to criticize interleague play, and told MLB to move into
the 21st century. The 8th inning was especially lengthy after Brian
Urlacher caught a hard hit ball to first, yelled out "Interception!",
and then ran around the field with it trying to find the Yankees
endzone. Umpires and Yankee players chased him around for 20 minutes
trying to explain the situation.
New York has been on a big
rebound from their early season struggles since interleague play began,
having swept the Red Wings and Grizzlies as well. The Grizzlies series
was especially surprising, as it was played at Memphis' home court and
home sport. But, it looks like anyone can beat the Grizzlies at this
point.
Don
Imus is surprisingly still alive and talking on the radio. After being
fired last year for calling the Rutgers womens basketball team a bunch
of "nappy-headed hoes", Imus found his way back on the air at a
different station. Yesterday controversy surrounded him again over
comments he made over Pacman Jones, now of the Dallas Cowboys. Imus,
being a 90-year-old who spends most of his time sleeping in a
sarcophagus, was unsure who Pacman was. He asked his staff "What color
is this guy?" and followed it up with "Isn't he that squinty-eyed
yellow guy with the big head who was popular in the 80's for popping
pills all the time?" His sidekick chimed in noting that Pacman helped
to lay the railroad tracks for modern day videogames.
The
comments have angered Asians, who feel the sentiments were highly
racist. "We are very unhappy with Mr. Imus using such horrible
stereotypes," said Takagi Nguyen of the Asian Defamation League. "To
confuse us with someone who was obviously a drug addict who saw crazy
things such as ghosts chasing him is very insulting. Also to bring up
our railroad building past is just deplorable. Mister Pacman's race is
unknown, and the developers say he may just be a floating disembodied
head."
Imus has gotten into a controversy before involving Donkey
Kong, who he called a "Dark-skinned #### who works in a shipping
factory, likes to get drunk, abduct white women, and then throw
thousands of dollars worth of merchandise down ramps." He was also
critical of the head chef from 80's restaurant Burger Time who Imus
claimed had horrible cleanliness standards, including serving burgers
off of a complicated system of ladders.
Chad
Johnson, the Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver, has long been a fan
favorite for his creative touchdown celebrations and zany sideline
antics. But since the end of the 2007 season, fans and teammates have
been noticing a change in Johnson for the worse. It was revealed this
morning by a group of doctors in the Ohio area that the cause was that
Johnson was growing into giant ####. "Well, Chad came to us last
week for his annual physical," said Dr. Poling. "He complained of being
unable to stop acting like a #### to reporters, telling his team's fans
their franchise sucked, and taking giant shits. After a few tests we
were able to confirm our su####ions, that he was indeed turning into a
great big ####."
Doctors went into emergency surgery with
Johnson to help reverse the growing #### on him, and get it back to
a more manageable size. "Well, I've always had quite the ####," said
Johnson in his first interview since the operation. "But it's never
been quite so big. When you just have a little ####, it can be cute
or even endearing to people. But when it gets to big, that's when
people start getting annoyed and you start smelling like #### I'd like
to appologize to everyone I've offended over the past few months
demanding a trade and insulting fans and reporters alike. That wasn't
the real me, that was my #### talking."
The recovery time from
#### surgery should be short. Johnson will begin a rehabilitation
program of being put into a room with some teammates and will have to
try not insulting them. The time will first be short, maybe only a
minute or two, as even a normal person would have trouble not insulting
the ability of this Bengals team. But eventually, once he can make it
for an hour or so with them, he will be cleared to return to the field.
"I'm just glad they caught this thing before it got out of hand. Being
a black man I've always been a big ####, I just didn't want to be a big
#### as well. Thanks to everyone for helping me get through this."
Oakland
Raiders wide receiver Javon Walker was found unconscious in an alley
this morning by police, apparently the victim of a robbery and beating.
But when they awoke him, they found him to be very upset at having an
"awesome dream" interrupted. He elaborate to reporters back at the
station after talking to officers. "Oh man, I was just about to make
out with the Princess made of marshmallows! I had to slay an octopus
whose 8 legs were all a different Baldwin, and I did it all in the
nude. Daniel was the hardest to kill, in case you were wondering. Now
after all that I finally get my chance at getting the Marshmallow
Princess, and then you guys come and screw it up. That's just rude to
wake someone up like that."
Police tried to explain to Walker
they were worried about his safety after discovering him face down with
bruises all over his body. "Look, maybe I got robbed and beaten into
unconsciousness. But it's Vegas baby, they have agiant pyramid right
next to a pirate ship here. Crazy things happen, and they gave me some
soiled pants to use as a pillow. It was actually quite comfortable. The
cops in this city need to learn to mind their own business. Now if you
all will excuse me, I'm going to take a little nap partly because I
want to find the Princess again, and partly because of blood loss.
Goodnight everyone." At this point Walker fell face-first into the
ground and the reporters slowed shuffled out of the room, trying their
hardest not to wake him up.
An
Illinois federal judge has ruled that the Chicago Bears are legally
allowed to terminate the employment of Cedric Benson based on his drunk
driving and boating charges. Benson had challenged the team's
termination of his contract after two DUI arrests in a month's time.
The judge also informed the Bears organization that they are allowed by
law to feed him to actual bears in front of the public. Apparently it's
a law put on the books by the founders of Illinois who heard about a
similar law that originated from the ancient Roman Empire. It stated
that any gladiators who were convicted of multiple driving a chariot
while under the influence of wine, or 2 DACWHUTIOW's, could be fed to
bears, lions, or other vicious animals at the Emperor's choosing in a
public forum.
The Chicago Bears organization have announced the
ceremony will take place this Saturday at the Chicago Zoo where they
will lower Benson into the black bear pit at noon eastern time. He will
be basted in a combination of sheep's blood and barbeque sauce before
the feeding, and his remains may or may not be cooked and served for
lunch depending on how much of him is left afterwards. Animal rights
groups are protesting the event, claiming the feeding will no doubt
lead to intoxication of the animals due to the usually high
blood-alcohol content of Benson.
But most local residents are
excited about the opportunity to watch someone, whom they have all
hated over the past three seasons for being such a huge bust, be eaten
alive by bears. "It's gonna be quite an event," said local Gabe Byrd.
"I'm bringing my 2-year-old son to the feeding. It's going to be his
first time watching a man get mauled to death by an animal. Wow, I
still remember my first time, it's something I consider special to this
very day. I made my whole family "I Saw The Bear Eat Benson" t-shirts
that we can wear to the event. It's gonna be very cool, and they even
said we may get to eat a cooked piece of him afterwards. I hope I can
get a piece of his 3.6 yard per carry legs, they sure couldn't do much
powering past the line, so I bet that meat is real tender."
The streets of Detroit were in Chaos early Wednesday night when the feud
between the lions and tigers, the sports teams of the area, erupted into all
out war. The tension had been building since the inception of the NFL's Lions
franchise in 1930. City officials believed it was unwise to put a team named
after lions in one that already had one named after tigers, due to the
volatility of the two cat species. "There is a reason you don't put these
two kinds of animals together," said San Diego Zookeeper Rich Blythewood.
"They were just asking for trouble, and I'm surprised it took this long
for something to happen."
The conflict broke out around 7:12 PM when a local butcher disposed of some
expired strip steaks in the alley behind his shop. Some of the tigers and lions
happened to be passing near the alley at that time and both wanted the steaks.
They started biting and wrestling each other for the meat, and when other
felines in the city heard, it devolved into a citywide brawl. Pedestrians on
the street were mauled seemingly at random by the angry lions and tigers as
they passed them. "They were so friendly before," said C.J. Kamp, a
longtime Detroit
resident. "I've shared a root beer float many times with a tiger, I've
ridden a bicycle built for two with a lion, but now one of them just ate my
legs, and the other a large chunk of the skin on my face. I don't know why we
all can't get along."
A crazy scientist recommended one of the teams change their name to
something unintimidating, like the Detroit Butterflies, back in 1992. But no
one listened to him, and now we are all paying the price of the hostility
between these two mascots. With 13 declared dead and 112 seriously injured,
this is the worst documented citywide mascot feud since the one in Cleveland in 1976. That
was where a pack of wild indians got in a violent brawl with the color brown,
resulting in the deaths of 4. The incident in Miami last year, where the Marlins and
Dolphins attempted to fight ended swiftly when both species realized they could
not breathe oxygen and died on the streets. No one was injured there, although
the city did smell horrible for several weeks.
The
Dolphins have announced that the competition for their starting
quarterback spot in the upcoming season will now be an open contest
between anyone in the organization. Originally thought to be a two man
race between John Beck, Josh McCown, and Chad Henne, new coach Tony
Sparano says he doesn't want to limit it to just them. Beck especially
is said to be very upset about the news, "This is completely unfair!
How am I supposed to beat out all the great players we have in this
organization? I saw our kicker throwing a ball around before practice,
and he could toss it almost 20 yards! How can I compete with that? I
also heard some people say the training facility janitor throws a mean
roll of toilet paper. I'm so screwed. It says quarterback next to my
name on the depth chart, that should be enough."
Sparano has
released his preliminary depth chart for the quarterback position based
on OTAs, and it is 100 spots deep. Henne was the only quarterback who
managed to crack it. "I feel honored," said Henne. "To be among the
81st best quarterback in this entire organization is really saying
something. We have some real athletic fry cooks who work in the
stadium, I'm not ashamed to admit they are a little better than me." If
the season began today, the starting quarterback for the Dolphins would
be Frank, one of the 4 men who share duties in the cartoon dolphin
mascot costume. Skyy, a cheerleader, and Manuel, one of the Spanish
groundskeepers, round out the top 3 on the depth chart.
Even Bill Belichick agrees that these are the ugliest and
most un-revealing uniforms in the history of cheerleading. The Celtics
did not deserve to win this game.
The
Atlanta Falcons have awarded Matt Ryan the largest rookie contract in
the history of the NFL. The Boston College quarterback, chosen 3rd by
Atlanta, will receive close to $1 billion dollars over the next 60
years as well as be named King Lord God Fuhrer of the state of Georgia.
"I just don't know how to thank everyone involved in these
negotiations. I'm really excited about being the franchise quarterback
of the Falcons for the next half century, and I guess I just have one
heck of an agent."
Pundits are quick to point out much of
Ryan's billion is back-loaded into the last few years of the contract.
"It really seems like a lot at this point," said ESPN's Mark Clayton.
"But you have to remember that much of this money won't be paid until
around the 2064 season when he's 80 years old. It's going to be hard to
believe the Falcons won't cut him before then due to the salary cap
restrictions, especially when the game shifts from real to just
televised 3D Virtual Reality Madden 2064. You know how old people hate
video games."
It is believed to be the largest award of land to
a football player, topping the previous awarding of the Northwest
Territories to CFL player John Avery. Despite being larger
geographically than Georgia, the land is in Canada and thus worthless.
The population of Georgia is actually happy about Ryan becoming the new
fascist head of state. "It can't be much worse than George Bush, that's
for sure," said one resident. But there could be opposition to his
reign, as his first order to build a giant coliseum where mighty dogs
can wage battle against each other, was struck down by the state
senate. Ryan does not understand why, but says if they oppose him again
they will be thrown into the newly erected dungeon.
New
England Patriots fans are just now starting to get over their
devastating Super Bowl loss to the New York Giants after an undefeated
season. It's been rough for Boston residents to come to terms with the
defeat for an area used to taking home a championship every year.
"Yeah, it's been a tough time," said longtime Bostonian Roger Raylots.
"There was a blackout in the city right after the game when the ####
Heart, which is the magical giant heart fueled by Boston residents
constant gloating about their sports teams, broke down. It supplies all
our electricity, you see, and it just went out. Only by believing our
team was possible of humiliating weaker opponents next year, and
clapping our hands really fast, could we bring it back to life."
Mike
Wise, a man who has 11 Patriots tattoos on his body, including a
regrettable portrait of Drew Bledsoe, says he took the news harder than
most. "Well, you know, I was very upset in the beginning. I went home
and killed my family, who I long thought didn't love the Patriots
enough. Then I burnt down my entire house, because it was obviously
unlucky. But then I realized there's always next year, and our coach
will always keep us in the games with his innovative cheating. Plus,
now I can get a much younger girlfriend who is impressed by my $60,000
a year construction job and the fact I have my own truck. So, it's a
win-win all around."
Other residents shared Mike's sentiment.
"I'm just ready to move on, it happened so long ago now," said Bud
Wilson, a teacher at Benson High School in southern Boston. "I mean,
the Patriots lost. They had a lot to fight for, but in the end England
was stronger. Now I have to wear powdered wigs, drink Tab soda, and
take a galleon to work. But I'm fine with it. I think I finally am
getting my sealegs, and I'm getting used to putting half my yearly
salary in cash into an envelope and mailing it to England. They won, I
get it, and I'm ok with it finally."
Mike was then informed that the Patriots actually won the Revolutionary War, and was happy but confused.
Reporters
from the Boston Herald have formally retracted their February report
about Matt Walsh taping the St. Louis Rams walkthrough in 2001 before
their Super Bowl matchup with the New England Patriots. But in a town
such as Boston, that alone was not enough. The 3 sports section
reporters who collaborated on the story were blind-folded and abducted
from their homes in the middle of the night by mindless #### clone
soldiers, also known as Patriots fans. When the blindfolds were
removed, they were in the middle of Boston Common on their knees,
standing before the entire New England Patriots roster dressed in their
full uniforms.
The team parted slowly as the Dark Lord Chancellor
Bill Belichick made his way from behind them to stand before the 3
journalists. "You have betrayed the power of the dark side," Belichick
told them. "As residents of Boston you must remain ever loyal to the
dark powers that rule here. You can not question the Red Sox massive
payroll which is only slightly less than that of the Yankees, you must
continue to paint them as lovable scrappy underdogs. You can not
question my prickishness when I choose to give Tony Dungy a running
high five instead of stopping to shake his hand. You can not try to
imply that Ray Allen is too #### to be considered a part of the
Celtics Big Three, the Big Two sounds incredibly less cool."
"But
Chancellor, we were not questioning the greatness of your team when we
did the article, we just wanted to find out the truth about the
taping," said the reporter who wrote the piece. Belichick raised his
right hand and lightning surged out from it and electrocuted the man.
The other reporters turned their heads away as he screamed and fell to
the ground in a pile of smoking ash. Tedy Bruschi then released the
chain from the neck of rabid placekicker Stephen Gostkowski, who ran
and began devouring the remains of the man.
"This is what
happens to those who oppose the Patriots, you get eaten by a 190-pound
man from Mississippi," continued Belichick. "I hope the rest fo you
have learned your lessons and will not oppose the power of the dark
side again. If we are united, we will once again rule the NFL universe."
But
then from out of nowhere, Tony Dungy and Yoda appeared from behind the
crowd of fans and cut the reporters loose with their lightsabers.
"Hurry! Get out of here! We'll hold them off!" yelled Dungy to the men,
who began scrambling out of the park. A large CGI-rendered battle
ensued, and we at TSC would like to tell you what happened, but no one
really cared what happened because everyone looked like a cartoon
character.
The
NFL has announced that no new information had been obtained from former
New England Patriots video assistant Matt Walsh following his interview
with Roger Goodell over the weekend. The most scandalous part of the
tapes shown before Goodell's news conference talking about the findings
had nothing to do with stealing signals, it was several minutes of
close-ups of San Diego Chargers cheerleaders performing during a 2002
game.
While the NFL says they have no more leads on where to
investigate the Patriots alleged taping of the St. Louis Rams pre-Super
Bowl walkthrough, they will be amping up an in-depth investigation of
the cheerleaders. "Wow, just wow..." said Goodell. "I had no idea this
kind of dancing was taking place on the sidelines of NFL games. I have
spent many hours, alone, reviewing this footage and I must say that I
am appalled...and having trouble holding anything in my right hand. If
you catch my drift fellas..." He then took a sip from a brandy snifter.
"God damn, that's good. Makes a man feel warm inside."
As he lit
up a cigar and took a long puff he continued, "Look, the American
people have been clamoring for a public investigation into the evidence
on these tapes. I say we've shown them enough boring hand signals
called into the sidelines by middle aged men. I say we need to have an
investigation into these girls. Where do they shower after games, what
scent of body wash do they use, and what exactly does it look like
during this shower? Eh? Am I right fellas?" The male members of the
press in attendance gave a few hoots and hollers, while 2 of the few
female journalists walked out of the room. "There are just so many
unanswered questions about this whole thing. "Do they lather each other
or just rub themselves alone? I am shocked at all this, and just want
to get to the bottom of it like the rest of you. I vow that I will not
rest until we are watching these Charger girls bathing on national
television, so we can make sure they aren't hiding anything anywhere on
their bodies."
When
it was announced by commissioner Roger Goodell that this week would be
the NFL's first annual crime week, many in the media were skeptical.
Goodell had been extremely strict on players for bad behavior during
his tenure, and this seemed to be quite the opposite. "We can't expect
NFL players to be good all the time," explained Goodell behind a podium
at the Crime Week commencement ceremony. "They are going to get into
problems with the law and with each other, and we can't have it going
on during the season. So, I'm giving everyone this week to get out
there and get into some crimes and hopefully get it all out of their
system. I christen this the start of the first annual Crime Week!" With
that Goodell raised a bottle of champagne above his head, and then
smashed it on the podium and jabbed the broken pieces into the stomach
of a homeless man he had brought on the stage. The crowd cheered as the
man coughed up a pool of his own blood.
So far the week has been
a rousing success as players commit normally horrific crimes in a
consequence-less environment. "It's just fun to be able to strangle
babies again," said an energized Darrion Scott, formerly of the
Vikings. He was arrested Wednesday on charges of putting a dryer bag on
his 2-year-old son's head. "Before they had this wonderful week, I had
to put away my old baby suffocation hobby because of what the league
might think. Maybe they'd make me pay a fine, or do an anti-baby
killing PSA. Yikes, I don't want to do any of that. I just want to make
sure babies can't breathe, you know, have some fun. I'm trying to get
in as many as I can this week, but these damn police keep getting in
the way."
Cedric Benson, winner of Monday's Most Valuable Crime
award for his drunk boating and police fight on an Texas lake was
also happy about the exciting event. "Wow, it's just an honor to
receive this award with all the great crimes being committed out there
this week. There's been some battery, some robberies, I even heard
Chris Henry picked up a drifter and broke every single one of his ribs.
It's dedication like that which makes me proud to be getting this
trophy here today. Thank you, thank you all."
President Bush even
got into the festivities on Wednesday by appearing at the commencement
event to rape a dead deer carcass with retiring quarterback Brett
Favre. "This is quite a party," said Bush as he cleaned deer entrails
off his genitalia. "I haven't done something like this since college. I
know I'm the president and all, but I still got some goosebumps raping
a deer with a big football star like Brett Favre. He's just such a big
icon in a sport I love, I'm glad to be a part of this whole thing."
It's unknown how this year's Crime Week can be topped, but Goodell promises next year's will be bigger and better
Rex
Grossman was arrested by police over the weeked for a Hovering Under
The Influence charge while speeding on his self-made hovercraft on Lake
Travis. The Bears quarterback apparently made the hovercraft in his
spare time, instead of practicing as can be evidenced by his stats over
the years. It is the first known HUI charge in Illinois, but could spur
a crackdown on hovercraft drivers all over the country. Grossman was
pulled over by Hover-Police at around 2:00 PM on Sunday, where he was
asked to submit to a sobriety test. He refused and attempted to throw a
wrench at one of the officers, but luckily overthrew him by a great
margin.
"He was swerving all around the lake, going left and
right, even up and down," said one of the policemen involved in the
stop. "It was obvious he was inebriated, so we told him to hover it
over to the side of the road. Once there we attempted to get him to
walk in a straight line, but he kept falling over, almost like he does
when he's getting some light pressure in the pocket. He then started
yelling expletives at us, and we had to spray pepper spray in his eyes.
Let me tell you that there was nothing I had wanted to do more than
that after he got my hopes up in that Super Bowl two years ago. It just
felt so good, and I may have emptied the entire bottle into his eyes,
and then hit him with my baton a little bit. It wasn't my best moment
as an officer, I will admit."
Grossman maintains he was merely
testing the hover capabilites of his craft, and was high on nothing but
life. "When you're as awesome as Rex Grossman, you're always drunk on
just being so great. This should not be illegal," said Grossman in a
released statement sure to illicit much sympathy from the public. It is
unknown how the incident will affect the already
volatile anti-hovercraft movement led by MADH, Mothers Against Drunk
Hovercrafting. What if there had been some young kids heading to their
graduation on a hovercraft near the lake that Rex could have plowed
into? They are looking to take down what they call is a dangerous and
gravity-defying vehicle, and this is more ammunition for their cause.
Marvin
Harrison has been questioned in connection to a shooting that took
place near a carwash he owns in Pennsylvania. Police say Harrison
turned over a revolver belonging to him, and bullet casings from the
shooting match the gun. Harrison denies direct involvement in the
incident which took place on Saturday when a man identified by police
only as Mr. Green was at the carwash with his wife Scarlett.
Professor
Paul Plum, a teacher of forensics at Penn State says the crime points
heavily to Harrison, as the murder weapon is known to be his. It's
unknown where exactly the shooting took place, but it could have been
in the billiards room or the conservatory of the carwash. The owner of
Mrs. Peacock's, an italian restaurant next door, phoned in a call to
police early Saturday when she heard 6 shots fired. A Mrs. White was at
the carwash at the time, but indoors and unable to give the police any
other information than a young male in a hood.
The chief police
investigator on the case, Colonel William Mustard, says they were lucky
to have the gun turned in, as original examination of the victim
pointed to a candlestick or possibly a lead pipe being the weapon used.
Officer Mustard says that they have received a small envelope today at
the station from an anonymous person which included three cards
including a Marvin Harrison rookie card. He would not give any more
information than that, but said the envelope was being treated like
evidence, and could lead to an endgame soon. In the mean time, the
police will continue searching for more clues.
