U.S. Soldier Wins $1 Million Will Return to Iraq

This blog is usually reserved for funny sports news, but we just wanted to honor Sgt. Wayne Leyde. Here is a guy who won $1 Million and is still going to return to Iraq.

Regardless on your opinion of the war, we need to remember that the men and women that go into harms way, join the military as volunteers, and commit to follow there orders regardless of their opinion. That is to be honored. Other countries FORCE their men and women to join the military.

FUNNY!! Nationals Jefferson Falls On Face

This is EXTREMELY funny! Not much has to be written for this. The Washington Nationals were having tryouts for "Racing Presidents" for their in between innings festivities and Thomas Jefferson falls flat on face!

Ryan Dempster "Cubs Win World Series"

After making the playoffs last year, Ryan Dempster has predicted that the Chicago Cubs will win the World Series. I guess he forgot that the Cubs were SPANKED by the Arizona Diamondbacks last year in the playoffs. This coming from a guy who isn't a starting pitcher and only pitched 66 innings last year. Is this guy for real? Maybe this guy should give up his Cubs jersey and sit in the stands for 100 years as a fan! Wow!

If that doesn't light a fire for the guys in the Milwaukee Brewers jersey or St. Louis Cardinals for that matter, not sure what will. Spring training is a time to loosen up and get ready for the long season ahead; not for opening up your big mouth!

Zednik Cuts Throat - Wants Buffalo Wings!

So after Florida Panthers forward Richard Zednik's carotid artery was nearly severed in a game against the Buffalo Sabres, he seems to be getting betters. How can we tell? Well, when in Buffalo, what food would you request? Well of course! Buffalo Wings!
That’s exactly what Zenik requested. He asked for some wings! However, I don't think they gave him a beer to go with those wings.

After splattering blood all over the Buffalo ice, his Florida Panthers jersey, and the defensemen's Buffalo Sabres jersey, he skated to the bench to seek treatment. He was then rushed to a Buffalo hospital.

See the video below.

Pitcher, Cathers, & Steroids Report To Camp!

Yes, it is true! It is that time of year already! Next week pitchers and catchers report to spring training! With all the talk this off season of steroids and the Mitchell Report, I won't be surprised if reporters start looking for a "Mister Steroid". Heck, if Roger Clemens former trainer, Brian McNamee, saved vials and needles from 8 years ago, you have to wonder what might be sitting in some other locker in some room somewhere that hasn't been opened in years. Oh yea, Brian McNamee, don't be such a pack rat! Get a maid!

The news of steroids has overshadowed some big trades. Johan Santana trade from the Minnesota Twins to the New York Mets was big news, but only for one day. Erik Bedard will no longer be wearing a Baltimore Orioles jersey and instead will be wearing a Seattle Mariners jersey after being dealt for 5 players! That trade will probably get very little press, yet, this is a guy that is almost as good as Santana, but played on a terrible Orioles team.

Finally, we haven't been able to confirm the rumor that the New York Yankees manager, Joe Girardi has been told by Hank Stienbrenner that he has to win the first 10 games of the season, or George Mitchell will be brought in to wear the Yankee pin stripes and manage the team!

Santana "Turns Head and Coughs": Heads to NY

What is that smile on Johan Santana's face? Is it that the nurse held his testicles and said "turn your head and cough" and passed his physical? Or is it the newly minted $137.5 Million contract? I think it is the $137.5 Million. Passing his physical made the trade official and he heads east to wear the New York Mets jersey. After much speculation that he would end up wearing a New York Yankees uniform or Boston Redsox shirt, it was the New York Mets who will end up with one of the best pitchers in baseball, healthy testicles and all.

The Yankees were not willing to part with their 2 young pitching prospects (Phillip Hughes & Ian Kennedy) and Melky Cabrera nor the Redsox with John Lester and Jacoby Ellsbury. That's 10 quality and healthy testicles! Instead the Minnesota Twins settled for 8 testicles that are not considered the cream of the crop by the Mets (outfielder Carlos Gomez and right-handers Philip Humber, Kevin Mulvey and Deolis Guerra).

Now the Mets just better hope that Johan Santana doesn't become another star that flops in a Mets uniform, like Mo Vaughn, Carlos Delgado, and Carlos Beltran, or they will feel like they have heard the nurse say "bend over and touch your toes"!
