Why wouldn't it be? Assuming he doesn't hit one this afternoon, A-Rod will have a chance to surpass Mays on the all time dinger list.

Yeah, you're right.
Though, I feel like the Cardinals get a lot of the Sunday night games too.

not that stephen a needs a push to call someone a racist, but it probably came from Shady McCoy saying it in an interview recently.

Do they not realize that he brought in DeMarco Murray to replace McCoy. Last time I checked, he was black.

Looks like one of the worst kept secrets in the business has been confirmed; Bill Simmons is leaving ESPN once his contract expires later in the year. It will be interesting to see where he lands.

I used to read Bill Simmons religiously, when he actually put out decent content rather than a pathetic mailbag about the NBA once every other month. I still think he's pretty talented. But man has he worn thin on me over the past 8 years or so.

He thinks he is all knowing when it comes to the nba too. The guy is wrong about 90% of the time and talks about the celtics like anybody else but him cares.

His Boston Sports Guy blog was great, but once he turned into one of those ESPN celebrities like Stephen A. and Skip, his writing went to shit.

I met him once. Shocking to no one, he's fairly pompous.
Edit: To add a note from the discussion above. Stephen A Smith is just as big of a tool in real life as he is on screen. It's not an act.
