OK, so this is three years old, apropos of nothing — other than baseball finally coming back tonight — and has probably been seen by a lot of you. But someone just sent it to us, and even if you have seen it, it’s still worth a revisit.
It’s October 2003, and Dan Patrick is interviewing Steve Bartman. He thinks, anyway. Honestly, Patrick couldn’t have handled this better … but still.
(By the way, Austin Kearns just got traded to the Nationals, equally apropos of nothing.)

– We ask listeners to add to the history of recreational drugs in sports
piece by emailing dcsportsguy@aol.com with incidents that were left out of the original piece.
– With every new edition of SBL (two per week) we pick our favorite email from the
crowd and share it on-air.
– The listener who sends the aforementioned email gets a free No Mas t-shirt.
So read up on your history, write a paragraph about something the No Mas crew missed and send it my way. You could end up with a free tee and a contribution to an ongoing effort.
1. Add to the history by emailing dcsportsguy@aol.com with notable incidents and examples that No Mas left out.
2. We pick the best ones and share them on-air and on-site with each new edition of SBL (two per week).
3. Senders of chosen submissions get free No Mas t-shirts.
It’s that simple and, eventually, fun to follow as the winning emails pile up. The first winner, announced on SBL Monday the 17th, gets this dope Bonds ‘Say No to Drugs’ tee free of charge…
So study up on your history, write a paragraph about something the No Mas crew missed out on and send it our way. You could end up with a fresh tee and a contribution to the ongoing effort, which I’m thinking about compiling and calling the Ickeypedia.
Just to be clear on this, if some guy stabbed us, in a bowling alley or elsewhere, we would never stop crying. We’re a bleeder. We would wail and scream and whine and plead and any other verb that connotes sniveling wimpdom.
Of course, we’re not a 6-foot-2, 245-pound linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, either. Roderick Green, who was stabbed outside a bowling alley last Sunday, eluded his assailant, and now the video of that eluding has been released by the Baltimore police department. Nothing wrong with showing off your 4.58 speed when some dude’s coming at you with a knife, obviously, but still: The guy who stabbed was, according to reports, “thin, around 5-foot-10.”
We just imagine Ray Lewis giving him a little gruff about this. Before he kills him, that is.

For reasons unbeknowst to us, straight male bloggers at Snobs Vs. Slobs have decided to rank the All Handsome Man 2006 Baseball Team. It is amazing the depths we will sink to in order to keep ourselves entertained on the last day of the All-Star Break. They do play tonight, yes? Please?
Anyway, we’re not sure how seriously a list that includes Alex “Pink Lips” Rodriguez, Corey Patterson and Matt “Ginger Kid” Murton, particularly one that includes this paragraph.
[Derek Jeter] is the perfect storm of baseball hunk. There are thousands of Derek Jeter fan sites, written by Yankee fans from coast to coast. He’s been on the cover of Esquire. He’s big-city, East Coast glamour combined with the humble upbringing that can only come from his roots in Kalamazoo Michigan.
Yeah, we’re sorry about this post. After the Danica Patrick thing this morning, it seemed the least we could do.
