Billy Crystal struck out

Billy Crystal was signed to a one day contract with the Yankees. In his one at-bat as DH he struck out. Ultimately the Yankees struck out in my book. I already hate them for being the evil empire, but now they are wasting talented prospects' at-bats on aging comedians. At least Michael Jordan still had athletic ability...

See the video below for this pathetic display.

Nike's big F-You to Under Armour

Even though I think UA is going to emerge as the athletic wear giant, Nike reminds them they have a lot of growing up to do.

My better is better than your better...

My Winnings/Takings from the weekend

Merrell The Gatherer



Outerwear is a highly innovative market and Merrell is offering a new twist. A fresh face to apparel, Merrell will be launching their first line in fall 2008. On the leading edge of that line is their concept jacket, the Gatherer. The ripstop nylon jacket allows the consumer to stuff compartments with the fill of their choosing. The nylon is translucent, so whatever material is stuffed in each zone will show through. This offers a unique opportunity for individual expression and creativity. Fill the jacket with shredded paper, hundred dollar bills, or even live rats if you like. The possibilities are endless. Available in July for $99
