“Do you guys want to play Foosball?”
“Sure, sounds cool.”
“All right, it’ll be LT and me versus you two.”
There I was, in a trendy New York City building in SoHo, lined up across from a sure-fire, first-ballot Hall of Famer ready to play Foosball. While I tried to remember the last time I played the table game, flashbulbs started to go off around me as the ball was dropped into play.
This is going to be an interesting night, I thought to myself.
After years of it only being available to college and pro athletes, the sports nutrition leader Gatorade is set to release “G Series Pro” to the public. The beverage line, which is designed to help elite athletes perform at their top level before, during and after practice or competition, will be available at GNC stores nationwide starting on May 1.
To help launch the new “G Series Pro” product line, Gatorade held a get together in Manhattan on April 13. Along with an exclusive group of media members, in attendance that night were Giants’ quarterback Eli Manning, Jets’ running back LaDainian Tomlinson, as well LT’s new teammates, offensive lineman D’Brickashaw Ferguson and receiver Jerrico Cotchery.
“What are you doing, man?” I barked at my Foosball teammate Kyle (another member from the media) after he allowed Tomlinson to score two quick goals to send us to an early 2-0 deficit. “You’re killing us with your play!”


Rapper/Yankee fan Jay-Z is suing Red Sox part-time slugger David Ortiz after Big Papi named his Dominican nightclub Forty-Forty, which is the same name that the hip hop artist uses for his chain of nightclubs in the states.
From ESPN.com:
The lawsuit, filed Thursday in a federal court in Manhattan, accuses Ortiz and his sister of naming their Santo Domingo club Forty-Forty in the hopes of trading in on the rapper’s name.
The suit seeks more than $5 million in damages and for Ortiz to forfeit any use of the name.
He promoted the sports bar and lounge by dropping references to it in rap hits like “Dirt Off Your Shoulder.” The pair subsequently opened up 40/40 clubs in Las Vegas and Atlantic City and have licensed the name to operators in Tokyo and Macau.
I would say that this was a smart tactic by Jay-Z by attempting to get Big Papi distracted, but considering Ortiz is only hitting a buck fifty right now there’s really nothing to distract him from.
