Blue Jays catcher JP Arencibia with a pitch perfect impression of everyone’s favorite baseball nut, Tim Kurkjian:

At long last, the Paper Airplane World Record for distance has been beaten. Behold the astonishing video evidence: (continue reading…)

In an apprent attempt to frighten and confuse anyone who might for some reason be a fan of the Tampa Bay Devil Rays the team will be giving out Zim Bears on June 29th.  The Detroit Tigers will be in town, and what better way to celebrate your team losing, than to go home with something that will undoubtedly give your children nightmares.  The bears were best described at Big League Stew:

…half-crusty old coach Don Zimmer, half-cuddly teddy bear and 100 percent terrifying.

The Corpus Christi Ice Rays take on the Texas Tornadoes in a North American Hockey League (NAHL) game, and a pier five brawl started by a heckuva sucker punch. (continue reading…)

John Parr, the artist behind 80s hit song St. Elmo’s Fire, has released a modified version: “Tim Tebow’s Fire.” Think I’m kidding? See and believe, Seers and Believers! (Can Kenny Loggins’ “Highway to the End Zone” be far behind?)

Behold the Cincinnati Cyclones in all their glory!

Like many hapless Americans, I have been looking forward to the next Pixar movie Brave.  Not because it’s from Pixar — the computer animated studio responsible for a number of classic films such as Wall-E, Finding Nemo, & Toy Story.  And certainly not because Brave appears to be a family friendly tale of a red-haired girl in a tribe of Scots earning her place via courage (a.k.a. bravery).

Think it seems frivolous?  I dare you to watch the trailer and try not to imagine Brave is closely affiliated with the Atlanta Braves.  The two are interchangeable in my mind now. (continue reading…)

I like Denver Bronco’s unorthodox and curiously controversial quarterback Tim Tebow.  A lot.  Not enough to burn down mosques or watch Hee Haw 2012 as some think.  But Tebow’s a lot of things I am: Christian, Home Schooled, Physically Gifted Athlete, Heisman Trophy Winner, etc.

Heck, I wasn’t even that upset when he pulled his patented “Tebow Magic” on my beloved Chicago Bears.  (As the Bears are pretty much done anyway this year.)  But some don’t like the guy.  Like who?  And why?  Let’s ask, Rabbi Joshua Hammerman who posted an article “My Problem With Tim Tebow” which has since been removed with an apology.  Why apologize for an opinion piece on a popular athlete? Well, I didn’t just make up the whole “burning down mosques” and bringing back “Hee-Haw” bits, that’s from the Rabbi himself. (It’s good to know every religion has a Pat Robertson.) The text of said article went something like this: (continue reading…)
