This article has been submitted by Sports Socialite. Okay. Admit it. We all do some pretty wacky things when we’re drunk, and it’s not our fault. Whether it be sliding down the stairs on a mattress, streaking through the quad into the gymnasium, or puking on a peacock, we’ve all been “that girl/guy.” But Allan [...]

This article has been submitted by Kabeir Dilawri. Animated, hedonistic, and incomparably entertaining, cereal mascots are an invaluable cog in the cereal industry’s $237 million strategy to market their sugar-infested products to today’s youth. While the morality of such shenanigans by multi-billion dollar corporations, such as General Mills and Kellogg’s, are up for debate, there [...]

This article has been submitted by Jason Petznick. While A.J. Burnett’s fate as a Toronto Blue Jay garners the majority of the media hype, I think there’s another spot in the Jays’ lineup that deserves just as much attention with the trade deadline quickly approaching. During the past few seasons, Aaron Hill and John McDonald [...]

This article has been submitted by the debuting Kabeir Dilawri. “Winning is a habit; so is losing” – Vince Lombardi Is it not ironic that the Green Bay Packers, one of the most storied and successful teams in all of professional sports, are not heeding the mantra of one of the two individuals synonymous with [...]

This article has been submitted by Sports Socialite. As I sit on my couch watching the Home Run Derby and cursing the staining powers of Cheetos, I am shocked by three things. 1) Erin Andrews – OK, so I’m not her biggest fan. No, I’m not jealous that she is (relatively) attractive, blonde, reporting for [...]
Catching Lightning in a Bottle: Josh Hamilton at the Home Run Derby
Posted: 15th July 2008 by guest-writer in Baseball, Guest WritersComments Off
This article has been submitted by Andrew Chestnut. The last time I watched a home run derby, the year was 1998, when presidents spoke in complete sentences, people still had AOL and CD players, and gasoline was still cheaper by volume than Russian beluga caviar. Back then, Ken Griffey Jr. was still wearing a Mariners [...]

This article has been submitted by the debuting Jason Petznick. Will the Jays break the .500 mark before the All-Star Game? As I’m writing this, the Toronto Blue Jays are down three runs in the bottom of the 6th against the L.A. Angels, and A.J. Burnett is on the verge of another lacklustre outing. Never [...]

This article has been submitted by Sean Meister. Like any good hockey fan, I spent my Canada Day hitting the refresh button at NHL.com. It’s difficult to find meaning in the signings when the pace is so fast, but I’ve come to two conclusions so far. 1. Tampa Bay is on a mission. Roberts, Malone, [...]

This article has been submitted by the debuting and oddly named Sports Socialite. WAAAAZZZZZAAAAAPPPPPP???? Ok, maybe a dated reference to an (awesome) old Budweiser commercial, but that’s just how I roll. Before I jump in to my first post, I just wanted to introduce myself. You’ll know me as the Sports Socialite. By good fortune [...]
Bad is Good, Good is Bad for Baseball Fans
Posted: 27th June 2008 by guest-writer in Baseball, Guest WritersComments Off
This article has been submitted by the debuting Andrew Chestnut. Sheryl Crow seems to think that “good is good, and bad is bad.” As far as being a baseball fan, she may be wrong. We are in an age of rampant, unregulated, bandwagoning; an age when more Red Sox fans show up to Tropicana Field [...]
