Jose Canseco crosses line from laughable to scary

May 22, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

Watching Jose Canseco melt down on Twitter used to be funny.

Used to be.

Canseco is “obvs a cray” as the kids would say in today’s modern lingo. But Canseco craziness isn’t as laughable now that he tweeted the name, phone number and picture of a woman who accused him of rape. What’s with California sports personas tweeting about sexual assault and rape today?

First, the LA Kings let a Los Angeles sports talk radio host take over their Twitter account. And he made a sexual assault joke. Now Canseco live tweets his potential rape charges.

Pac-12/Fox Sports’ Laura McKeeman photos and bio

May 22, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

Enter FOX Sports/Scout.com & Miss Pinellas County 2012 Laura McKeeman.

When it comes to recruiting new female sports reporters, the new AAA ball seems to be an amalgam of beauty pageants, bikini models and cheerleaders.

Laura McKeeman fits right in. You may have seen her doing the “social media” segments during the Pac-12 Tournament outside Staples Center. (She kind of struggled there a bit the first night. Well, more than a bit actually).

Youngsters leaving Facebook for Twitter

May 22, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

You know how you got sick of Facebook when you mom and your grandmom joined it? Well, a lot of people feel that way. At least a lot of young people.

According to a recent survey, teenagers have been complaining that too many adults are on Facebook, and too many people are using it as a social media app therapist. A new study published Tuesday about online behavior said Twitter was providing less drama than Facebook. It conveyed that teens are sharing more personal information about themselves even as they try to protect their online reputations.

Does Chip Kelly need to give his players more structured time?

May 22, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

We know Chip Kelly is one of the nation’s most innovative football minds and his approach to training seems to differ somewhat to the rest of the league, but is it fair to question his methodology already?

Sexual assault joke made by LA Kings Twitter Account

May 22, 2013 by paulmbanks 1 Comment

An unfortunate, off-color sexual assault joke was tweeted on the LA Kings Twitter account tonight.

Most official sports teams Twitter accounts are very dry and dull. And/or overly positive all the time. The LA Kings Twitter account is an exception. At times it can be quite funny, snarky and irreverent. Unfortunately, the LA Kings went a little too far by letting Kevin Ryder, of the Kevin and Bean show on KROQ Los Angeles, live Tweet the LA Kings vs. San Jose Sharks Stanley Cup playoff game.

Ryder took over during the second period of Tuesday night’s game.

NFL Draft moved to May; 2016 and 2017 Super Bowl Locations Decided

May 21, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

The NFL Draft is moving from April to May. Possibly. This NFL Draft move, should it happen, would help make May much less of a boring, dull sports month. Seriously, when the NBA Draft Combine is the highlight of the month, ouch babe. That’s why they tell you in the stock market, “sell in May and go away.”

According to CBS Sports:

Kate Upton yearbook photos

May 21, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

More breaking Kate Upton news.

Because of course, Kate Upton news is always the most important kind of news you’ll find. Kate Upton high school yearbook photos have surfaced on “the internets.” I only included the pictures from when Kate Upton was legal. So you don’t have to feel like a creepy weirdo for looking at these pics.

You can feel like a creepy weirdo in general for looking at Kate Upton pictures at work. Then again if you’re a red-blooded male, or female for that matter, how can you not look at Kate Upton photos at work? Beats working, right?

Cubs claim scrub pitcher from Cardinals; SEASON SAVED!

May 21, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

The Chicago Cubs might lose 95 games this year. Who knows with this move today, maybe they’ll only lose 90. Or maybe not. The Cubs claimed right-handed pitcher Eduardo Sanchez off waivers from the first place St. Louis Cardinals. Getting a cast off from the front-running Cardinals has got to help, right?

To their credit, the Cubs aren’t in last place. They’re penultimate in the NL Central. The Milwaukee Brewers are behind them.

ESPN cutting jobs, despite booming profits

May 21, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

ESPN is doing really well financially. ESPN has “beat the street” considerably, and consistently recently. However, despite surging profits, they will lay off a substantial number of workers. Hopefully, Darren Rovell is one of them! Ha!

ESPN parent corporation Disney has matched or exceeded earnings per share estimates for the last eight fiscal quarters. Disney also recently reported a 32 percent gain in net income. Distribution fees are increasing better than expected and ESPN also is enjoying skyrocketing prices for broadcast rights.

ESPN will televise the new college football playoff system, which will grab them another $470 million annually.

Wing Nut wants to shoot Hillary Clinton in the Vagina

May 21, 2013 by paulmbanks Leave a Comment

Sometimes Chicago Cubs fan and sometimes New York Yankees fan Hillary Clinton should definitely keep her vagina protected. Keep her vagina on high alert, because a far right wing nut job is looking to attack it. The former Senator and current Secretary of State is under fire over Benghazi from the right wing media machine.

Faux Noise Channel has been wall to wall with Benghazi coverage for quite some time. But one radio talk show host has gone more direct with his threats on Hillary Clinton, Park Ridge, Illinois’ most famous product.

Do we need professional cheerleaders in hockey and baseball?

May 21, 2013 by paulmbanks 6 Comments

In recent years, the NHL has introduced “Ice Crews” which are essentially hockey’s version of cheerleaders. And the Florida Marlins and Cincinnati Reds have brought scantily clad babes to baseball now too. What do you think of these developments? blaspheme? or long overdue?

We’ve accepted NFL Cheerleaders and NBA Dance Teams, but do hockey and baseball need them?

Do you we even need them in football and basketball for that matter?

I invite you to voice your opinions on these ideas below, just the TSB staff did.
