Girardi risks his life helping accident victim after the series celebration: Yankees manager Joe Girardi not only won the World Series, but he also helped an accident victim on his way home from the game.

Playoffs? In football?
C'mon with that.
Yet another reason not to take that league seriously.
Perhaps we should arrogantly decide that NBA shouldn't be watched either?
That decision was made after Jordan retired. The NBA is nothing but a "product" now.

Great video. What a pistol.
And what a ridiculous fine.
So he gives the money to charity. Everyone wins (except the morality police, who will always be miserable and judgemental no matter what happens).

Mark Sanchez did something epic as well: after the game, he put the kibosh on the inane, insipid questions from the press by reading from a prepared statement. The statement was basically an itemization of all of his feelings and his opinions concerning all of the key plays of the game (plays he made and plays where he screwed up).
Absolutely wonderful. Well-played, Mark. Way to nip that shit in the bud.

Lebron James doesn't understand or know who Bill Russell is. I doubt he even knows what team Erving played for.

It's ironic how the throwback uniforms remind us of how much more watchable the NFL was back then.

Ahem, the Reds haven't been in the World Series for nineteen. The Rangers...never? Brewers? Playoffs? Nope,
Well, that's just because they suck. The Yankees have quality throughout the organization. Not just the players. From the coaches to the scouts to the GM- they have smarter people than you do. You can't buy that.
Face it, you haters: The Yankees are first-rate organization and yours is not.
You are all babies, because it's impossible for you to admit that the Yankees simply do things better than your team does. And they don't dismantle a team after they win a championship, either.
Don't blame your team's problems on the Yankees. It's pathetic.

What does any of this have to do with his rushing record? What does one thing have to do with the other? Why would anyone care so much? It's none of their business. Mind-boggling.

One of the reasons that the NFL is so popular is the salary cap and revenue sharing. Any team, regardless of market size, has a legitimate opportunity to win the super bowl.
Popular does not equal better. The NFL is a mediocre shell of its former self because of the parity and the salary cap. It's barely watchable now, if you appreciate quality in your sports.
And if you lose a key starter, your season is finished because you can't afford to pay good bench players.
The Malloy comments attempting to link the Yankees to larger issues are clueless and insulting.
I know. Could that be a more "sour grapes" post? They play by the rules. They don't pocket their profits. Don't whine to me about your team. If the Rays can make it to the World Series, so can your team.
The Yankees are the best team in baseball. They beat "the holders" (as they say in soccer), the defending champs.
They play outstanding defense. A-Rod is a wonderful third baseman, Cano is spectacular and Texiera is state-of-the-art.
And now you've got an Alex Rodriguez in a very good place mentally going into next spring. The possibilities for this man in 2010 and beyond are frightening. He will no doubt become the greatest baseball player ever.
And he's a Yankee.

Random House is MSM. Of course they were going to drop it.
...citing "a close legal review of the final manuscript ... and our independent evaluation of some of the author's sources and statements."
In other words, too many people in the Old Boy Network were getting worried. The NBA has too many corporate mouths to feed. Sponsors, networks, corporate promotions...
And this is no "conspiracy theory". It's simply the way captains of industry do each other favors in order to protect their interests.

I don't see anything wrong with this, as it is only high school.

They're still not hitting. Scoring a whopping 3 runs is not going to get them to #27.
Really not good. If they don't start hitting, they're fucked. And they're heading for that foodcourt/bandbox now- so they better start pitching perfect games.

The way Lee nonchalantly handled Damon's popup (6th?)
That ball almost popped out of his glove. And you could sense that thousands of Yankees fans were rolling their eyes. I doubt he'll ever try to pull that move again.

The Times writers are the Yankees biggest critics. Always have been. And they hate Steinbrenner.
And all this guy is doing is relaying facts to his readers.
By the way- I'm a Yankee fan and I feel they will lose. They are the clear underdogs here- due to the intangibles.

Deadspin? What is that?

Mr. Salisbury would do better to ignore it. No one has heard of- nor cares about this blog. So shut up about it, Sean and no one ever will know about it.

AP Columnist: 'Soccer Players Can't Be Trusted'
Roy Keane yesterday launched a savage attack on the Republic of Ireland players and the Irish football establishment for their complaints about Thierry Henry's handball and told them they were just sympathy-seeking, "mentally weak" hypocrites who should "get over it".
Roy Keane gets it.
the NFL's Patriots filming games scandal,
Everyone has done this at one time or another and it has zero effect on the outcome of the game. Ask anyone in pro football about this.
