42 Million, and All I Got Was This Lousy Import


So... 42 million (allegedly!) for the right to sign a Japanese ace. But wait! If you you act now, we'll also throw in East Asian market awareness and a new car. But not really on the new car. Is it really financially sound for the Red Sox to be throwing this kind of cash around? Probably. Isn't that a bit sad? I want to say "who cares" because a) it's cooler to seem apathetic, and b) I really don't have any love lost for the Bosox... but I do care. It's just one more thing the real Evil Empire, Kevin McClatchy, Inc. has never heard of. What's "it"? Oh, that's right... putting together a competitive baseball team. (yes, you read that link correctly... that's a 2004 article.)

But you don't come to the site to read more rants about the Pirates, you want uplifting news. Something not so 'Burgh-centric? Sure thing. Did you realize ND was on tv for 169 straight games before USAFA's CSTV contract put an end to it? Kudos to the headline writer on that one, too. At first I was confused. I thought, no way ND has lost 169 games. Ty Willingham was only there for three seasons. Hard to forget when the Talking V*gina (yes, a blog I read only refers to May as this because of his distinctive(ly bad?) facial hair) reminds viewers every Saturday. Speaking of Mark May, we have scientific proof that he is disliked. Universally. Too bad Harold Reynolds decided to harass someone first (allegedly!). I'm not saying that Mark May should be fired, or even that I'm rooting for that. I'm just saying that it's more likely he'll be fired before May features Notre Dame in any of his polls, lists, or otherwise. Unless, of course, that poll is titled, "Teams I Unjustifiably Hate". I'd expect Notre Dame to finish near the top of that one. But not at the top. Because ND cannot be #1 for anything for May.

Don't worry Mark, I'm sure if ESPN ever lets you leave Bristol, you'll get the Corso Treatment in South Bend.
