The Real Sports News

By Mitch Berg

The real story of this past weekend in sports?

Under four weeks until pitchers and catchers report for spring training.

Til then?  No more sports on TV for me.

  2. Mr. D Says:

    Looking forward to pitchers and catchers reporting, too. But in the meantime, there’s a little business to be conducted in the Metroplex in 13 days.

    Common exhortations heard in bars for $100, Alex

    “Go, Pack, Go!”

    What is happy hour at the Gay 90’s?

  4. Chuck Says:

    Looks like Obama’s endorsement of the Bears played out pretty well for Green Bay.

  5. LearnedFoot Says:

    Common exhortations heard in bars for $200, Alex

    “Da Bears!”

    What is happy hour at the Gay 90′s leather bar?

  6. swiftee Says:

    Hmmm. “Da Bears!” doesn’t quite work as well, does it Foot?

    See, “packing” is a activity commonly associated with…oh, nevermind.

    Flippin’ packer fans…

    “See, “packing” is a activity commonly associated with…oh, nevermind”

    See, Bears are big fat hairy sweaty mens who parade around at…oh never mind.

  8. Kermit Says:

    Common exhortations heard in bars for $300, Alex

    “Stay retired, Brett!!!”

  9. Mitch Berg Says:

    And I suppose I should just be thankful that nobody’s drawn “Pitchers” and “Catchers” into this sordid squabble.

    As a state, the blood alcohol content of Wisconsin went up a full point after 5:00 PM yesterday. The only thing worse would have been if the Pack had lost. Either way, there were more than a few employers who had breathalyzers installed next to the time clocks this morning.

    I saw it, Mitch, but even *I* didn’t want to touch that.

    Foot, “Go, Pack, Go”; Heh. Heh. Heh……see that’s funny, we laugh. Sweaty hairy mens? BBMFAIL, buckaroo.

  13. Kermit Says:

    Pitchers and catchers and cheeseheads, oh my!

  14. MyGovIsNuts Says:

    Speaking of pitching-and-catching, if I hear that Pro-Life Minnesota (or whatever organization it is) one more time on the Patriot…the one where some old coot (who sounds more like a child molester) asking little Billy “do you bat or do you pitch?”…I’m gonna scream. That old man voice sounds like someone you’d see at a NAMBLA meeting (not that I’d know about that or anything)
