Honestly, the Cubs are kind of freaking us out with all this spending business. The overspend for Aramis Ramirez, they really overspend for Mark DeRosa and they REALLY overspend on Alfonso Soriano, and now they’re supposedly going after Jason Schmidt. We’re not necessarily concerned that these acquisitions will make that big a difference — they’re too far away to contend right now, and by the time they could get it together, they’ll be crippled by all these contracts … in our opinion — but we are worried that this could change the mindset of Cubland. They’re not going to expect to be winners now, are they? They couldn’t, right?
Fortunately, some Cubs fans have their minds straight. Enter Fire Lou Piniella, a new Web site devoted to the notion that the Cubs should fire their brand-new manager before matters degrade even more. The site appears to be somewhat tongue-in-cheek for now, but just you wait: It’s only a matter of time.
The sea was angry that day, my friends. Like an old man returning soup at a deli.
A trainer was injured during a show Wednesday at SeaWorld Adventure Park after Shamu the killer whale grabbed his foot and pulled him underwater twice, authorities said.
OK, the thing that really caught our eye about this story is the photo. Does anyone find it ironic that Shamu has a high-paying job kicking footballs, and Mike Vanderjagt doesn’t? No? We withdraw the question.
“I don’t see what he did wrong to warrant him being cut,” Owens said Wednesday. “I hope it doesn’t come back to haunt us. … Going into the Colts game, the guy was 12-of-15. That’s still a high kicking percentage. He didn’t lose any games for us. If I had to put myself in the mix, I feel like I lost some games and I’m still here, so it’s just unfortunate.”
Owens was then grabbed by the foot and held underwater by Flozell Adams.

All right, we’ll say it: We absolutely do not believe Michael Strahan when he does anything anymore. Everything the guy does seems so calculated, so media-savvy, so gaydramatic … well, we just don’t buy it anymore. If this guy played in Jacksonville, no one would know about him, or care.
Anyway, his “tirade” yesterday against an ESPN reporter we’ve never heard of is making all kinds of headlines in New York, because the Giants are collapsing and it’s gonna be rather tough for reporters out here to ignore a toothless man screaming at a woman in the locker room.
This rather beautiful photo from The New York Times, which seems to be begging for a Leroy Neiman print, sums up just about everything we think about Strahan. Loud, isolated, confused by the rest of humanity, pampered and, well, rather batshit crazy. We can’t say we’ll be all that disappointed if the Giants miss the playoffs.

The folks over at Rooster Teeth.com are small-boned, practical folk. So when they angered large, muscular Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark recently with a rather unflattering portrayal of him on a video game commercial, they quickly scrambled to make amends. They drafted a letter of apology, and even created a “director’s cut” version of the offending video which casts Clark in a better light (see above).
You’re no doubt aware of the original Madden NFL ‘07 commercial in question, in which Clark is pummeled, cartoon-like, at the hands of Eagles safety Brian Dawkins and defensive end Darren Howard (”I can’t bear to watch this. I’m gonna go eat a sandwich.”) Clark, of course, wasn’t exactly pleased with it.
“Everyone has told me about it,'’ Clark said to the Indianapolis Star. “I haven’t seen the commercial, but I’m upset about it. It makes me look like a punk.'’
You can guess what happened next. Clark was injured in the Colts’ game against the Eagles the next day, having to be helped off the field with a knee injury. So the guys at Rooster Teeth, who apparently made the commercial, figured that this would anger Clark even more, and moved to placate him so that he wouldn’t end up squashing them into tiny meat cubes.
But that’s nothing, because Lil’ Ronnie was getting set to have his mom drive him in from the south side so he could open him a gigantic can of Whoop-Ass.
