Cole Hamels is not having a good time this World Series. His recent comments that he can’t wait until the season is over have rankled a number of teammates and fans. They say he’s acting like a punk, or worse yet, like a girl.

Well, there’s only one person in the Phillies clubhouse who knows how to deal with a whiny girl.

Brett Myers (l.) reportedly throws a verbal fastball at teammate Cole Hamels in the clubhouse after the Phillies' 8-6 victory over the Yankees that sends the series back to the Bronx.

Friends of the Program had themselves one hell of a weekend. Anytime one goes to an Ole Miss/Auburn game and follows it up with a day at Talladega you can pretty much call it epic. And when you chronicle it in picture form it makes it even that much better. [FOTP]

Ted Ginn Jr just abused the Jets special teams yesterday. No one could tackle the guy. Maybe someone should make them watch this video of Zack Follet laying out Danny Amendola.

It was just about one year ago that SportsCracklePop decided to issue its first ever endorsement.  And based almost entirely on that internet posting, Barack Obama went on to be elected President of the United States.

Well, election day is fast approaching. There are important races all over the nation which will effect  the lives of millions. And so, we once again waddle our fat asses into the waters of endorsement to throw our support behind:

Manny from Modern Family as the official breakout TV character of the season.

There’s only one thing preventing a massive brawl between sports fans in New York City and Philadelphia this weekend. And that one thing is the state of New Jersey.

Ahh yes, my beloved Garden State is once again living up to its reputation as that place you drive through when going back and forth from New York City to Philadelphia. But did you know there are people who live there as well? And they will be electing a Governor on Tuesday. The incumbent Democrat is bald and widely viewed as an asshole. The challenging Republican is fat and, well, just plain wide. There is also a third candidate. He’s an Independent named Chris Daggett, and as far as I can tell, he’s the only one who’s taken a stand on one of the biggest issues facing the state this week:

He’s backing the Yankees over the Phillies.

Have you ever seen a group less intimidating? Star Trek conventions are harder than this.

gator-girlsLast week wasn’t a great week in college football as I had my first losing Saturday of the year. Although it was only a half a unit loss I came back with 3 big winners in the NFL (9 units). Hopefully I pick up the stride on Halloween to give me some more cash to spend on candy. (These picks are for entertainment purposes only)

Cincinnati v Syracuse 12PM

Tony Pike is likely out again, meaning the controls of the Bearcats offense is handed over to Zach Collaros. In all honesty it doesn’t matter who runs the offense (40 ppg) as they have exceptional playmakers in both the ground and the passing game. Isaiah Pead will hurt you on the ground, while Mardy Gilyard and Armon Binns beat you in the air. The ‘Cuse defense is giving up 27 ppg and has a ton of trouble stopping the pass. Mix that up with an underrated Cincy defense and you give the points and count the money.

Pick - Cincinnati -15 2 units

Did you see the baseball commissioner on Letterman last night? Of course you didn’t.  If you’re a baseball fan, you were probably watching the World Series at that time.

If this putz wanted to use a letterman appearance to create attention for the Fall Classic, he probably should have done it Tuesday. That way viewers could have planned accordingly. Did anyone tune into Dave last night and decide  they would retroactively watch Game 1? No, because that would involve breaking the rules of physics, and baseball fans aren’t that committed.

The start of the NBA season means that a bunch of new posters will be readily available for young kids to hang on their bedroom walls. And by that I mean some people are gonna get facialized.

The first entry comes from Carmelo Anthony and he wanted to kick this year off with a bang. I do mean bang on the way he hammered home this dunk on Paul Millsap.

That was one dominating pitcher out there. Cliff Lee was controlling his speeds and commanding those corners. The man was making everything look so easy. Whether it be striking out ARod three times, th nonchalant catch of Johnny Damon’s popup, or the behind the back snare of Robinson Cano’s line drive up the middle; the Bombers had no chance.

Now the Yankees send shaky AJ Burnett to the mound against an even shakier Pedro Martinez. Pretty much guaranteed to see some runs tonight. So bet the over!
