Every year, every season, I say I’m not going to do it. This year, I even had a plan on how to not do it. No matter what came up, I wasn’t going to try to do more than two fantasy baseball leagues. As of this moment, I’m in four. I’ve got enough different groups of friends, coworkers and acquaintances that I have four teams to manage. Baseball isn’t too bad, because I can set the roster and let it go for awhile, check on hot streaks and injuries and such, but it’s not nearly as easy as football where you can set your roster on a Saturday afternoon and be good to go. We’ll see if I come close to the All-Star break keeping track of all four of them. And if anyone reading this wants to get into a fantasy baseball league, I’m sure I can point ya to one of the leagues that you’d fit in best.

Speaking of All-Star break, do we really need a team of four or five or six analysts on TNT breaking down the first half of the NBA All-Star game? If anything, they should break down what Allen Iverson (or anyone for that matter) was thinking when he got that tattoo on his neck. A) its ugly, B) it probably hurt like hell. But that’s why I have no street cred, I guess.

And I read earlier tonight that Shaq said the best way to get more people into the dunk contest would be if they gave the winner $100,000. Do you jackasses REALLY need more money? I mean seriously. Between dipshit comments like that and the whole NHL fiasco that is going on, pro athletes need to take a collective long walk off a short pier. All of them.
