yes…newble is pursuing a good cause. but it could also be said that ira newble needs to be like more athletes…i.e. talented and productive.

I’d like to see Mike Rowe as an “adult video store policeman” in the next “Dirty Jobs.”

What’s a Darfur?

Yes, and simultaneously

how creepy is that, someone — for their job — had to go to an “adult store theatre” and allow a bunch of men — including a 72-year old — to form a circle around them and let them begin masterbating?
and then document how a fox tv news manager lays on a couch and gets busy?
i think i’ll pass on that job.

im just waiting for the day that Tampa makes the roundup in a good way

The “!?” rant in this Posnanski post is absolutely hysterical.
May 19th, 2008 at 4:18 pm
Posnanski is the shiD.
Ira turned in his athlete card ages ago.
He is a great Kobe-stopper. He just slides his foot underneath Kobe’s before he lands. Bam, out for the rest of the game.

I’m not trying to be a heartless bastard, but Ira Newbell is from Detroit and was playing in Cleveland but was worried about things in Darfur? Maybe work on fixing the crack babies and violence of East Cleveland? How about helping out the people in Detroit?

You think Phil Mushnick does the whole “you need me on this wall” bit from “A Few Good Men” in front of his mirror at home?
May 19th, 2008 at 4:19 pm
Nice girl? she cheated on her wheel chair bound boyfriend with a bad boy!

coop…its much easier to take a stance about something 10k miles away than get your hands dirty yourself.
May 19th, 2008 at 4:25 pm
The more I read from Mushnick, the more I like him. He’s perfect at what he does.
May 19th, 2008 at 4:30 pm
We’re on pace for 18 posts today. The new voices definitely help. If you have any thoughts on the new voices, please drop me a line.

That Cousins of Ron Mexico guy is pretty good. Let’s go ahead and keep him.
May 19th, 2008 at 4:36 pm
Mushnick was right on the money with his comments about the rain delay, Russo, and the Sterling and Waldman freak show.

Exactly spence, well I can just talk about Darfur and feel like I’m doing something, but if I tried to improve my own country I might have to actually do something.
Again, not trying to be an ass, I suppose someone has to do it, but he has basically done nothing but “try to raise awareness”. You’re handing out protest letters while guys like Warrick Dunn are building houses for single parents. You don’t have to go any further than down the street to find someone who could use a little help.

Wasnt a first base coach killed by a line drive foul ball last year?
May 19th, 2008 at 4:50 pm
Mike Coolbaugh in the Rockies organization was killed, horrible story
May 19th, 2008 at 4:51 pm
rockies gave the money from the world series to the family right? that was a nice gesture
May 19th, 2008 at 4:52 pm
yeah, the family was voted a full share

it shows you how much money they make for playoffs and how life changing it could be for Joe Schmo, when it’s an embarrassing drop in the bucket for Todd Helton who makes over a million dollars a month

If John McCain is reading this blog I must say…please do something about you neck skin…listen, I totally understand you were in a hole for 7 years, really I commend everything you did and do for this country…I am speaking for America here, we will not think less of you if you go get that tightened up…not like bad facelift tight but if you pull it back so it doesn’t fold over your shirt collar it’s cool…I can’t look at you with the neck skin…
May 19th, 2008 at 4:56 pm
Try a million a WEEK.
May 19th, 2008 at 5:06 pm
i love posnanski’s blog.. dont you guys wish more columnists would have a good, blog like that? every day that guy posts solid stories and shit
May 19th, 2008 at 5:14 pm
I agree with you 100 percent coop.
May 19th, 2008 at 5:29 pm
@RWH Get used to seeing that neck skin for the next 4 years. He’s gonna be our next President. A moderate democrat like McCain will always beat a liberal democrat like Obama.
May 19th, 2008 at 8:51 pm
of course it happened in Florida. F’d up stuff like that ALWAYS happens in Florida.
