Finally!! A-Rod Hits 600th HR

You know, I really didn’t think this day would come, because I’m pretty sure that Alex Rodriguez is the biggest headcase to ever play a sport (scratch that, Ryan Sidney definitely takes that honor). But defying my expectations, A-Rod finally hit his 600th career home run (which actually was a two-run homer) at Yankee Stadium this afternoon. The Yanks are playing the Blue Jays, and the homer came off of pitcher Shaun Marcum in the first inning. Derek Jeter was on base.

Yay! for NY baseball! Go Yanks!

And as if that wasn’t enough, the Daily News is also reporting that Coach Kim was “forced out of the Worker’s Party, North Korea’s ruling group, and into labor at a construction site.”

This is Making Me Really Mad

And I don’t even care about professional athletes that much!

So I’m innocently reading my Sportscenter Rundown this morning on the T, when I come across some nonsensical headline that reads “Bryant won’t carry Williams’ pads.” “WTF is that supposed to mean?” I wondered to myself and clicked on the link to read the article. Come to find out, football players are once again turning something insignificant into a big deal.

According to ESPN.com, NFL rookie Dez Bryant has only been at Dallas Cowboys’ training camp two days, but he already started trouble by refusing to carry teammate Roy Williams’ shoulder pads after Sunday’s practice. By the NFL’s tradition of hazing, rookies are made to carry the equipment of veteran players. It should also be noted that Bryant and Williams are vying for the same spot.
