Growing up I went to the Garden and saw an assload of WWF wrestling with my dad. And every time it was awesome (saw Macho Man use a foreign object to steal the Intercontinental championship from Tito Santana in 1986). And f course I hated The Iron Sheik and his evil commie pal, Nikolai Volkoff. But now, now that the Sheik has gone full-crazy-circle ("Break his back, fuck his ass, make him humble!") I am one of his biggest fans. And now, now that I’ve seen this video, maybe I’m his biggest fan. THIS IS YOUR REAL PRESIDENT OF RED SOX NATION, PEOPLE!
I think we can all agree that Sox fans dodged a HUGE bullet when Buck and McCarver got assigned to call the NLCS (enjoy, Phillies and Dodgers fans!) BUT, Tim McCarver, who Sox fans haven’t had much love for since, oh well um, NEVER, called out the Man-Ram leading up to the series, and I think that’s fahkin’ awesome. So much so that THIS would be my reaction if I saw McCarver in-person (scroll ahead in clip to 2:49 for effect.)
At 7 Sunday night we were all feeling pretty friggin’ good. Pats won! Sox are on the way! This could be an all-time sports day!
Then Mike Napoli, the catcher with the name of the local pizza man, delivered his 2nd home run of the night, and by 10, the Pats magic was gone, and we knew we were in for a long one (and this was a long one even YOUR mom wasn’t psyched about getting.)
Gina Carano, who puts the Mighty Mighty Awesome in MMA, will kick your ass if you don’t root in 2 Sox wins and a big Pats victory this weekend.
Welcome to the Funbag, the Townie News Friday equivalent of that hungover Saturday morning meal where you eat some cereal, a leftover slice of pizza, the crumbs from the bottom of a bag of chips, a fudgicle and anything else lying around the kitchen that can make you feel better. Or fatter. Whatever, it’s all delicious.
