Boom Goes the Dynamite

Ali G interviews David Beckham and Posh Spice

Every time I see that “Boom Goes the Dynamite” clip I cringe and I can’t help but feel awful for the young man…but I just can’t look away.

Poor bastard.

Who’s the hotter sportscaster?

The SPORTS CUCUMBER debates who’s the hotter sportscaster – Melissa Stark, Erin Andrews or that Crazy Hot French Chick?

A heated debate arose tonight about who the hottest sportscaster is. We decided to toss in Melissa Stark (in her prime), inappropriately dressed Erin Andrews, and that wicked hot French chick from some French television station. Additionally, for your sake, you can decide to merely take the field of anyone from ESPN deportes…we wouldn’t hold it against you.

My vote: Stark’s upper body region, Andrews’ backside and Crazy Hot Frech Chick’s face.

Manny Ramirez wants to be a Yankee

According to the New York Post via a close friend of Manny Ramirez, the former Red Sox outfielder wants to be a Yankee next year.

According to people who have spoken to the eccentric outfielder since he was dealt to L.A. on July 31, Ramirez wants to sign a free-agent deal with the Yankees this offseason and get 19 chances a year to punish Boston.

“He wants to play for the Yankees so he can get at the Red Sox,” a close friend of Ramirez’s told The Post.

Of course, every free agent says he wants to play for the Yankees. They pay well, will always have a chance to make the postseason, and when they show an interest in a free agent, the price from other clubs skyrockets.

Considering Ramirez is represented by Scott Boras, every imaginable angle will be played when the 36-year-old, a product of George Washington High School in Washington Heights, will become a free agent following the World Series.

Yankees GM Brian Cashman would not comment on the situation. Ramirez forced the Red Sox to deal him to the Dodgers by badmouthing the organization, not hustling and sitting out a July 25 game against the Yankees with a knee injury that didn’t show up on an MRI the next day.

Well that’s a big middle finger to the Red Sox now isn’t it? How about the Dodgers, too? Hey thanks for trading for me L.A., but there’s no chance in hell I’m going to re-sign with you because I want to piss off my former team.

Obvious statement of the century: Manny is a nut, regardless of if this report is true or not.

Bears have offensive line issues

The Chicago Sun Times is reporting that rookie first round pick Chris Williams underwent surgery Thursday to repair a herniated disc in his back. The left tackle could potentially be lost for the entire season.

The Bears are considering adding a veteran, including ex-Bear Fred Miller, and have already cleared a roster spot by placing running back Matt Lawrence on injured reserve.

Williams was injured July 24 in the second practice of training camp, a non-contact drill. The team said it was a muscular issue but when that issue calmed down, they detected the disc issue. Team physician Mark Bowen and Dr. Srdjan Morkovic performed the surgery late Wednesday night.

The Bears went the entire offseason without addressing the offensive line, and then took Williams over more highly touted o-line prospects Branden Albert and Gosder Cherilus. Now they’re faced with contacting Miller, who often represents a turnstile on Sunday afternoons.

Maybe Devin Hester can play left tackle.
