Kenny "Fucking" Powers


"The man with the golden dick" is back and better than ever in season 3 of Eastbound and Down.  To catch you up to speed with the show, check out this video of the best of Kenny Powers.  Also if you've haven't heard yet, Kenny Powers is the CEO of K-Swiss.  It just so happens that I've aligned myself with the powers that be and am currently rocking this pair of K-Swiss tubes.  "Lubing the deals."



Eye Candy of the Day


With news coming out that Jessica Biel is now engaged to Justin Timberlake, who better to feature in today's section


Manny


Manny Ramirez agreed to a 1 year contract worth about $500,000 to play for the Oakland Athletics this year.  Smart and shrewd moved by the A's.  Best case scenario you get a former star on the cheap that helps your offense and possibly even establishes some trade value through his play.  Worst case scenario you release him if he doesn't perform or becomes a distraction with a minimal financial obligation. 

Undertaker vs. HHH


What has been suspected for nearly a year is now finally official.  The Deadman and The Game are set to square off at WrestleMania XXVIII in a rematch from last year's WrestleMania after HHH accepted the Undertakers challenge on Monday Night Raw.  HHH's one stipulation was that it is to be a "Hell in a Cell" match.  For those unfamiliar with the format or perhaps need a refresher, look no further.  The sheer thought of this match is giving me a fear boner


Spring Training

It is once again that magical time of year where the simple words "pitchers and catchers" fills the hearts and minds of fans of all 30 Major League teams with hope and optimism that this is the year for their team.  For those members of tortured fan bases out there I offer this....

Hope springs eternal in the human breast;
Man never Is, but always To be blest:
The soul, uneasy and confin'd from home,
Rests and expatiates in a life to come.
Alexander Pope, An Essay on Man



...and for those who aren't akin with classical poetry I offer these....





To fans of the Chicago Cubs, Kansas City Royals, Washington Nationals, San Diego Padres, Baltimore Orioles, Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates, Tampa Bay Rays, Detroit Tigers, Colorado RockiesHouston Astros, Texas Rangers, Cincinnati Reds, Toronto Blue Jays, Chicago White Sox, Milwaukee Brewers, LA Dodgers, New York Mets, Minnesota Twins, Boston Red Sox, Florida Marlins, Arizona Diamondbacks, Oakland Athletics, Atlanta BravesCleveland Indians, San Francisco Giants, LA Angels, Philadelphia Phillies, New York Yankees, and even the World Champion St. Louis Cardinals may this be your teams year.
