Because You Yearned For a Hat Post
Athletes and Celebrities, Baseball, Hats! September 13th. 2009, 12:00pm
This is Minka Kelly in the plush confines of a Yankee Stadium suite on Friday night, shortly after Derek Jeter broke Lou Gehrig’s hit record.
Major bonus points are in order for Minka’s casual look here, as getting decked out for a sporting event is always an incredibly stupid idea. Unless of course you’re attending a football game in the South. Then it’s totally normal.
What’s more impressive though is she opted for the camo Yankee hat as opposed to an embarrassing pink one, which would have completely destroyed any and all hotness associated with the underrated casual look.
Have I mentioned her hat? Yeah, she’s wearing a hat.
Related note, kind of: This morning on The Sports Reporters, during Michael Kay’s predictable “Jeter is now underrated” speech, he hinted that Derek could be one of the top 10 players of all time. Have fun with that one.

58 minutes until week one of the NFL and… Minka Kelly in a hat.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:03 pm
If forced to choose, who does Kay let throw it in his chute first, Tom Brady or Derek Jeter?
September 13th, 2009 at 12:04 pm
You got it, 58 minutes until Week 1, and 58 minutes until an NFL post.

Someone was messing with Louisiana this year. The Saints start with 0-16 Detroit, and LSU started with 0-12 Washington.
I can’t wait for the next AP Poll to be released. Ole Miss will claim OK State’s spot in the top 5, and all they’ve done is beat a Memphis team that Middle Tennessee wiped out yesterday.

This could get graphic.

uggghhh uggghhh!
/rubbing one out because finally a hat post!
September 13th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Well, in his defense, he is one of the 10 greatest Yankees of all time.
/and in Kay and Lupica’s mind there is no difference between the two
September 13th, 2009 at 12:06 pm
Jay: Did you watch at all? William C. Rhoden was all over Rich Rod and Forcier.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
SportsHernia, I flipped the channels, saw Kay was on the panel, said “I guess this is a 30-minute Derek Jeter informercial,” and changed the channel.
Sounds like I was right.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
Today’s installment was probably the worst I’ve seen. They need to ban Kay and Lupica. Why not just show a dog slobbering for 22 minutes, it’d have the same effect.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:08 pm
why even watch the sports reporters anymore? i have watched it only a few times but it sounds like all it is now is columnists getting on tv and trying to force an agenda down our throats and being totally obvious about it.

“Do you ever yearn, George?”
“Yearn? No. I don’t really yearn. I crave. I crave all the time. But I guess I never yearn.”
September 13th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
I don’t think we’re going to cover the NFL today. You can find that anywhe…
Hey! Come back! I’m just kidding. 1:15!
September 13th, 2009 at 12:09 pm
Yeah, seems bizarre to allow Kay the Jeter angle. Nothing fresh about that. I miss Dick Schaap.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:10 pm
Whatever lady snaps you up is one lucky gal.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
dont be hating because i didnt want to make out with you last night or ever.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:11 pm
Great scene. The “livin’ in the dark” line is amazing.

If he finishes with 3500 hits* and 6 or 7 rings, I don’t see how this is so unreasonable.
*keeping in mind that statheads look down on hits
September 13th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
Do you think he’s going to stick around that long? I can’t picture it being a good scene after a couple more seasons.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:14 pm
I miss “The Sportswriters on TV,” when it was a bunch of crotchety old white dudes smoking cigars and drinking beer, ripping on everyone and everything in sight. The Sports Reporters is more or less a bunch of rich, old, disconnected people fellating whatever New York or Boston athlete made headlines that week.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:19 pm
Have they ever even had a Chicago writer on there? Kind of embarrassing. They go as far west as Philly, with guys like Conlin.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:20 pm
top 15 or 20 maybe but i dont think he would be a top 10. i just dont.

that list is unnumbered and unranked
September 13th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
I hate my life. Im at my shitty part time job. I had been working till 1230 all month on sundays until today. I have no dvr, my fantasy team is set & i cant change it if i have injuries. First god damn football game for the texans since december and i miss it.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:21 pm
and you could throw gehrig on that list as well
September 13th, 2009 at 12:22 pm
I hate the Yankees, but like aand respect Jeter (and his ability to bang hot girls in hats). As for him being top 10 all time, in how many seasons has he been without a doubt the best SS in MLB? Maybe a couple of years ago when he went second in the MVP vote or during the World Series run? I don’t know I am curious what people who know more about baseball than me think.

Speaking of, ESPNBoston debuts tomorrow.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
I think Edwards is going to be money this year.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:23 pm
Not that I can recall. I guess they eschew Telander because of his SI connection and Mariotti because, well, because is was/is Mariotti. They used to have Whitlock on there, but I think he was more a coin in the minority bucket than to have someone from the Midwest represented.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:24 pm
You forgot Bonds, Brooks Robinson, Mike Schmidt…
Mariotti was on Sports Reporters a handful of times. He and Lupica don’t get along and since the little man runs that show, he wanted him gone.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:25 pm
Seriously, if Albom isn’t on the show, they should change the title to “Three New York Homers and a Talking Head.”
September 13th, 2009 at 12:27 pm
my team doesnt play for another 8 hours but iam fucking pumped!
September 13th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
I don’t watch the show. Does Albom invent stories on TV like he does for the newspaper?
September 13th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
This is kind of interesting.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:28 pm
Terry Bradshaw with some Hakeem Nicks love!
September 13th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
That camo hat is the closeted brother of the pink hat
September 13th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
ESPN voiceover guy is laying the creep on thick this morning.
Any suggestions?
Fox? CBS? Hell?
September 13th, 2009 at 12:29 pm
A, i grew up loving the sports reporters. When dick schaap was on and they had good panelists with him, it was something i looked forward to every sunday morning. for the last i dunno 8 years, basically since i started high school, its been complete garbage.
B, mrejr, did you purposely leave henry aaron off the list? I agree with most of those guys, but aaron has to be on there. also, you dont have a single catcher or third baseman on that list.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:30 pm
That’s one of my biggest complaints about their shows in general. Has there ever been a Deep South journalist on there? On Around the Horn, I suspect that there is just some giant Black Hole between Dallas and Miami. There are no journalists in Houston, Atlanta (besides those two clowns on Around the Horn), New Orleans, Nashville, Charlotte, Birmingham, etc.?
/insert redneck joke here
September 13th, 2009 at 12:32 pm
*clowns on First and 10
September 13th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
it wasnt a definitive list i was just throwing out guys who were better than jeter. aaron belongs.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:33 pm
@Jay – Cowlishaw does a decent job representing the South. He loves Texas but watches a lot of SEC ball. He’s a huge NASCAR fan and the only guy that likes hockey… rather strange on the hockey for a Southern guy.
/not that I watch Horn
//it’s on right after Beadle, errr, SportsNation
September 13th, 2009 at 12:34 pm
I misread and thought Kay said top 10 Yankees of all time, not top 10 players. Top 10 players is kooky talk.
September 13th, 2009 at 12:39 pm
I’ve seen Cowlishaw once or twice. And when he tries to bring up NASCAR, all the other reporters shout them down. It’s that kind of arrogance and the perception that only the SEC cheats at football that makes us Southerners despise the rest of you people sometimes.
/not a big NASCAR fan, but that’s not the point
//we could care less when East Coast journalists go on and on about the Yankees, but we don’t try to shut you up

I miss “The Sportswriters on TV,” when it was a bunch of crotchety old white dudes smoking cigars and drinking beer, ripping on everyone and everything in sight
Hey ESPN! I’m available!!
September 13th, 2009 at 3:11 pm
I turned the channel as soon as I say Kay with Lupica. I have a lot of respect for Jeter but there are guys that aren’t in the hall that deserve some credidation, such as Shoeless Joe Jackson, Pete Rose, and some that are that don’t get any recognition such as Josh Gibson.
