Fist Pump Fridays: Jersey Shore Presents The Hurt Locker

I am totally jocking fivetool’s style here but I saw this video and had to put it up in honor of him.  Amazing how these guys can stay relevant for so long.  Great for us though.  They are pure entertainment. SHE’S GONNA BLOW.

Fist Pump Fridays: There Goes the Neighborhood…

In light of the success of the Jersey Shore, a new reality show will be filmed in Brooklyn’s Brighton Beach centered around Russian-Americans according to the NYPost. So far? No complaints here.

Fist Pump Fridays: Farewell Fist Pump?

Tonight appears to be the final episode of the Jersey Shore.  And for that I am sad.  Let’s have a moment of silence please. … MTV, why did you air double episodes last week and a new episode on New Year’s Eve?  I could have savored the show just a bit longer.  HOW DARE YOU. You can however [...]

Did a swim move on the guy’s girlfriend, threw a great strike, landed a knee, and was immediately in a full [...]

HOW DARE YOU H.O.F. VOTERS!!!

I’m sorry to all of the 397 baseball writers that did vote for Roberto Alomar’s induction into the Baseball Hall of Fame.  For the others that didn’t vote him in, HOW DARE YOU!!   Were you even watching the same game throughout the 90’s as me? Because the only reason he’s not in is because of a certain [...]

Fist Pump Fridays: Pulling No Punches

This episode was more anticipated than the Mayweather-Pacquiao fight.  But before I go any further: 1) Credit goes to MTV for being socially responsible and pulling their punch (pun intended) by removing footage of Snooki getting sucker punched.  It actually created a more dramatic effect by going to a blackened screen a la the Sopranos series [...]

Goodbye Godzilla

When I saw you for the last time in pinstripes, I watched you hit a home run in Game 6 of the 2009 World Series.  I was outside of the stadium by the Great Hall and saw you pull one off of Pedro. Today, you officially agreed to be the new DH for the Anaheim Angels [...]
