Phinally!

A couple of years ago, comedian Bill Burr did a set during the Opie and Anthony Comedy Festival about how the Phillies would never win anything because their uniforms look like candy stripers , well last night, Mr. Burr was wrong. The Phillies are World Series Champions, yes that sounds weird but true. Congrats to all of the Phillie fans out their and especially my friends at Sox and Phils.

Here is how the front pages covered the dramatic events last night:

The season is almost here

When the preseason college basketball polls came out a couple of weeks ago, the Tar Heels were on top of all of them. On Friday, North Carolina held their annual Late Night with Roy event. Here are some of the highlights.

The introductions


Senior do ""Glory Days"


Team Dancing


The scrimmage

Wayne Rooney is the new Gwen Ifill

The Great Debate is here and its does not disappoint.

The future of the Manchester United Shirt?

So AIG is really no more and in honor of that Who are Ya Designs has created this classic shirt to honor the bailout of AIG. This could be the next sponsor on the United kit.

Heisman Trophy Propaganda

Every year Sports Information Directors at major football schools do their best to get the word out about the possible Heisman Trophy candidate playing on their roster. This year that was no different at Missouri, as they try to raise the profile of quarterback Chase Daniels. So the gang in Columbia decided to send this following package out to newspapers around the country and I was lucky to get my hands on it.

Nothing beats a box with a huge Tiger logo on it. By the way, each item that was sent out cost $2.52 to mail.

Inside each box was a view finder, yes a view finder, with highlights of Daniels

The classic view finder ring, complete with the Tigers logo

Wow it was great to get this in the mail at work, but it came after Daniels had two of his worst games of his career. Oh well, I'm sure this did not cost a ton of money.

Bringing the Pain

I am not a huge fan of the MMA, but I am huge wrestling fan and that is where this video comes in. ESPN's E:60 did a great feature on Brock Lesner's switch from pro wrestling to MMA, here it is.

Separated at Birth: Left Wing Spurs

Things are so bad at Spurs that now some of their own players are being compared to radical left wing commentators. Just look at MSNBC left wing commentator Rachel Maddow and Spurs winger David Bentley. They look like they have been separated at birth.

David Bentley, no wait that is Rachel Maddow.

David Bentley

So as you see Maddow and Bentley might be the same person.

Paging Slaven Bilic

With Tottenham Hotspur continuing to look like a pub side, going down to Stoke 2-1 on Sunday, one thing is becoming more and more clear, the Magic Juande has lost his touch. Almost a year after sacking Martin Jol, Daniel Levy and the rest of the board should treat the Juande they same way they treated the Tony Soprano look alike.

If the board does the right thing and gets ride of the former Sevilla man, they should look at someone that will bring an attitude to the club, Slaven Bilic. The Croatian rock star could be the perfect fit for struggling Spurs.

First of all he knows English, which is something that the magic one has failed to do. Bilic would bring a free flowing style to the White Hart Lane and most importantly he might be able to get the most of Luka Modric. At the national team level, Modric runs the Croats midfield and serves as creator, something that he has not been able to do at Spurs as of yet. Bilic would give him the confidence to play as creator.

The faithful at White Hart Lane would love Bilic. London would be the perfect city for him and just think he could even play a concert in the bar.

Are you serious?

Wait the Rays are in the World Series. All of those number one picks came together and won the ALCS over the Red Sox. Here is how papers in both Tampa and Boston cover the dramatic night at the Trop.

Mini Cantona

The normal size was classic, but a smaller Cantona is also classic. I wish I had this sitting on my desk at work, right now.

Professional Tailgating: Wedding Style

Most of the Only Time Will Tell Tailgating Crew did what any group would do on a Saturday during the fall, go to a wedding. What did you think that I was going to say go to college football game. The Crew saw one of their own get married, JP Losman's Potential, and football was never far from anyone's mind.

JP Loves his Bills and what a ice sculpture

Footballs as table markers, what fun

Most of the Crew sat at the OJ Simpson table, I think the Lawrence Phillips table was not available.

It's almost here

With the midway point of the college football season here, that can mean its only a matter of weeks before college basketball teams start practicing. Here is a look at the covers for the different Sporting News College Basketball Previews.

Great Soccer Celebrations

The gang gangs up on the Special One and he gets punked.

Fun with Facebook: Bottom of table Spurs

Things are really going well at White Hart Lane, the fans are done singing the praises of their great Spanish manager and relegation seems like it could happen. Just one look at Facebook and you will find a nice great developing to watch the demise of Spurs.

Tottenham Hotspurs: Relegation Party May 2009: "Let's get the ball rolling on this one early. - This Group is for followers of THFC's demise only. If you make any racist comments in the guise of terrace chants you obviously have an IQ lower than THFC's points total & will be removed & banned from this group :)" Members: 8,166.

So come May, their will be a large group cheering if Spurs are in the Fizzy Pop League in 2009-2010.

Oh no not again

In College Football there really are not that many certain things, but one of those certain things is that if Notre Dame wins 10 games they will be taking part in the a BCS game and with a record of 3-1 they might be on their way to returning to a show case game.

I know what people are saying, they can not be good enough to play in a BCS game, but they do not have to, just get ranked high enough and they will be there.

One look at their remaining schedule and it seems like 10 wins is not that far off, and you better believe that if the they get to 10 wins they will be ranked in the top 10 in country.

Here is there remaining schedule:

• Stanford: now that is a win
• North Carolina: the game that might derails their BCS chance, but a young heels teams, so an Irish win is not out of the question.
• Washington: They are terrible and without do it all QB Jake Locker might mean a 30 point win.
• Pitt: A win here is something that should be expected.
• Boston College: This Eagles team is not as good as last years.
• Navy: A game they should win
  
• Syracuse: Might be the worst BCS Conference team in the country.
• USC: That might be a tough ask.

Just by looking at the schedule asking the Irish to go 7-1 is not out of the question and if that happens say hello to a Notre Dame vs. Alabama Sugar Bowl. Wow that game has 34-10 'Bama written all over it.

The Growth of Network

For the last couple of years, Gol TV has been thought of the third network of soccer in the United States, but over the last couple of months that appears to be changing. Gol TV has updated its network a lot in order to rival Setanta and FSC.

The biggest change for Gol TV has been the updating of their graphics. In the past it looked like a middle schooler did all of the graphics on a Commodore 64, but that all appears to be a thing of the past now. The graphics on shows such of Gol TV news seem to be cleaner and more eye catching.

In addition to the updated graphics the network has decided to add more program to the network. Show the like the Art of Football allow viewers to see inside the game. The network also continues a ton of soccer, including the German, Spanish, and a number of South American League.

It's only a matter of time before people start to sit up and notice the improvements that the Tampa based network has made.

Meet the Mets Post Season Style

The final day of the baseball season featured many twist and turns, from the Mets closing Shea Stadium to the amount of beer the Brewers drank. Here are how some of the newspapers covered the action from the final day.
