The Daily Drive “The Day The Earth Didnt Stand Still”

The Daily Drive is a daily (duh) post of all the prominent things going on in the sports world we didn’t cover, and anything else we might want to share with you.  Earthquakes are so 2010.

 

-So lets get this right out of the way.  An Earthquake hit Virgina today.  The world moved on.

 

-The NY Football Giants already depleted secondary lost yet another CB today.  After losing impact player Terrell Thomas last night to a torn ACL, they lost CB Brian Witherspoon to a torn ACL as well.  Somehow Papa Bear seems to think that this will not effect the Giants at all.  He won’t give me any facts to support this argument (or words on this site for that matter (Shots Fired Shots Fired!)), but he is deliriously confident in his team right now.

The Daily Drive 8/15/11

The Daily Drive is a daily (duh) post of all the prominent things going on in the sports world we didn’t cover, and anything else we might want to share with you.  Its cool Plaxico, we didn’t know who Mayor Bloomberg was either.

 

-Lets start things off with a bang this afternoon.  Mark Sanchez apparently wanted to fight Rex Ryan after almost being benched during last season.  I’m no PR genuis but this isnt exactly the approach I would have taken when being interviewed about the upcoming season.  Especially since Rex is a Fan of UFC.  His go to move?  You guessed it, The Ankle lock…gives him a close up view of his favorite body part.

 

-Osi Umenyiora apparently is tired of faking an injury and will start practicing for the New York VaGiants.  Giants are having an outstanding off-season by the way.  Kevin Boss, Steve Smith, Shaun O’Hara and Rich Seubert are all gone along with their top draft pick Prince Amukamara who is out for a few months with a broken foot.  When i asked our resident Giants Fan, Bruno, what he thought of the activity he left me with this gem “YEAH WELL WE HAVE THREE SUPERBOWLS!”  Denial is an awful thing.

 

-Jeremy Maclin apparently isn’t dieing and will give an update on his overall health tomorrow at some point.  One has to wonder though about all the lost weight and secrecy.  Its OK Jeremy, Just tell them that the Nutri-System diet works great!

 

-Howard Eskin, 610 WIP sports radio afternoon host, has announced that he will be exploring some national offers and will not be doing his daily show anymore.  Good Riddence Howard, you insufferable prick.  I truly wish Charlie Manuel whooped your ass a few years ago.

Daily Drive 8/3/2011

The Daily Drive is a daily (duh) post of all the prominent things going on in the sports world we didn’t cover, and anything else we might want to share with you.  Like what my prediction for the Eagles is this year……..19-0

-AHHH the glory!  A-Rod apparently got wrapped up in that super rich guy group of dudes that like to play Poker together.  My hope is that A-rod ultimately gets a life-time ban.  If Pete Rose can’t bet on the ponies, A-Roid can play Texas Hold Em with Jason Bourne and Spiderman!

-Osi Umenyiora was just told by the NY football Giants that he is no longer allowed to seek a trade.  Jesus a man hasn’t been jerked around like this since Larry Craig was hangin out in Minneapolis Airport. HIIIYOOO!

-Casey Anthony was spotted walking around downtown Columbus rockin a Ohio State hat.  No word on if she tried to get a free tattoo for “taking care” of some things for the artist.

The Daily Drive – 7/29/2011

The Daily Drive is a daily (duh) post of all the prominent things going on in the sports world we didn’t cover, and anything else we might want to share with you. Just got turned onto turntable.fm, and “SNL in the 90’s” on VH1 is only a half hour into it’s 2 hour run time. I may get distracted.

-To add some more opinions on the Hunter Pence to the Third Reich Philadelphia Phillies: They will overpay for him! They are the front runner for his services!

-Meanwhile, all quiet on the New York Yankees front when it comes to the rumor department. They did however activate Rafael Soriano from the DL. So look for him to cause problems and start giving up runs in no time.

-In U.S. soccer news, one day after the firing of  the men’s coach Bob Bradley (YAY!) comes the hiring of German national Juergen Klinsmann. This is a step in the right direction for the US. Now, if only we could get rid of that asshat Landon Donavon.

– Pittsburgh Steeler James Harrison is apologizing for remarks he made earlier this summer. If I know anything about Roger Goodell’s tenure as commissioner, it’s that he is easily swayed by a sincere apology.

The Daily Drive – 7/28/2011

The Daily Drive is a daily (duh) post of all the prominent things going on in the sports world we didn’t cover, and anything else we might want to share with you. Coach DaftPuck yelled at me last night for not posting anything. I went to my locker, cried a little (yeah the yelling was harsh), regrouped and boom Timmyp is back. Coach of the year: DaftPuck.

– Lots of big news type things happened since I last wrote a post on here. The NFL came back (like that’s a surprise). Carlos Beltran got traded (like that’s a surprise). Amy Winehouse died (totally not a surprise…side note: she was my number one pick in the death pool, yeah we do death pools, yeah we are scumbags: NBD).  However, the biggest news during my AWOL stint is that Jasmine Waltz washed her car in a bikini. Who is she????? I dunno and don’t feel like researching her. but WWTDD told me she has a sex tape out and that she dated David Arquette, sounds like she’s one to write home about.

– Ervin Santana threw a no-hitter yesterday. If you didn’t hear about this, then it’s my assumption you don’t watch sports often which makes you visiting this site very, very questionable.

– Albert Haynesworth is going to the Patriots, Reggie Bush to the Dolphins. Those are just two of the 4,556 (rough estimate) deals that have been made in the past 48 hours…yeah my head is exploding.

– We all love Green Man, but I feel as if this was scripted. However, the announcer really wants everyone to know it is Valeria’s birthday.

The Daily Drive – 7/25/2011

The Daily Drive is a daily (duh) post of all the prominent things going on in the sports world we didn’t cover, and anything else we might want to share with you.The Drive is starting to run on a tight, meticulous schedule, and your fearless leader snagged the coveted Monday spot. Hungover at work traffic! Like your Mom’s period, expect my post to be fashionably late.

-The NFL is back. I’m sure this is the first any of you have heard of this.

-Carlos Beltran is expected to be traded sometime this week, and he say’s he’d much prefer an NL team over an AL team. The kicker? He doesn’t want to DH. I know, I thought he was from Puerto Rico too.

-Great piece by WithLeather on dick heads who steal foul balls from kids. In my opinion we should persecute them the same way they did treason in the old days: Hang ’em.

Phillies news, how Scott Stevens became a New Jersey Devil, and more, after the jump.

Weekend Drivin

The Daily Drive is a daily (duh) post of all the prominent things going on in the sports world we didn’t cover, and anything else we might want to share with you.  For example: The average person spends 3 years of their life on the toilet.  Once again, I am above average.

-According to Fortune Magazine, Tiger Woods is apparently going broke.  I don’t know, when Fortune magazine is writing about how you ONLY got paid a couple million for doing some ad in Japan, that doesn’t really make me feel for EL Tigre. You want to know broke Tiger?  The lady at the Wendy’s Drive thru calls me by my first name.

– The Vanimal continued his Major League dominance last night as the Phil’s spanked the Mutts 7-2 at Shitty Field.  As Timmy mentioned yesterday, K-Rod is now gone, leaving me with one less Met to make fun of now.  The highlight of this story is that K-Rod apparently had a list of 10 teams that he didn’t want to be traded to, and the Brewers were one of them.  The Mets response?  “We didn’t know about a list.”  YOUR NEW YORK METS LADIES AND GENTLEMAN!

The Daily Drive – 7/13/2011

The Daily Drive is a daily (duh) post of all the prominent things going on in the sports world we didn’t cover, and anything else we might want to share with you. My idea on how to make the MLB All-Star game more watchable? Simple: make it a hockey game.

-The MLB All-Star game was last night, with the NL beating the AL. You’ll be sure to forget all about the game until the World Series when the Phillies have homefield over the Red Sox and every one bitches about the ASG.

-The New York Mets traded closer Francisco Rodriguez to the Milwaukee Brewers. Has the Mets firesale begun? Dibs on Ike Davis’ nose.

-Rounding out our baseball news, the guy who caught Jeter’s 3,000th is getting some help from major companies to help pay off the taxes on all the gifts the New York Yankees gave him.

Women’s Soccer, sports news, a hot girls, and a funny video, after the jump. I’m doing this on the fly, can you tell?

The Daily Drive: Weekend Edition

The Daily Drive is a daily (were workin on it) post of all the prominent things going on in the sports world we didn’t cover, and anything else we might want to share with you.  We would love to share with you how Casey Anthony got away with murder, but our calls to OJ have gone unanswered.

As a peace offering we present to you: JWoww

-Weak week for the Daily Drive.  With Daft being distracted taking hipstamatic photos with his new Iphone, Papa Bear trying to find this kid a D1 college scholarship, and Timmy slingin’ cellie’s like a pre-paid bodega in Queens, we’ve all been a little distracted.  FEAR NOT!  I’m here to bring you a fully loaded version of WEEKEND DRIVIN.

-Lots of great news this week.  We can start with how A-Rod and Dereck Jeeeetah are skipping out on the All-Star game this year because of “injuries.”  I mean I can understand why Jeter wouldn’t want to go, but A-Rod probably just wants to do this instead.

Daily Drive July 7, 2011

No were not!!!

The Daily Drive is a daily (duh) post of all the prominent things going on in the sports world we didn’t cover, and anything else we might want to share with you. Like how I want to leave work so bad that I’m too lazy to come up with a joke for The Drive.  

–Yanks lose 5-3 to the Tribe.  They start a 4 game home stand against the Rays today.  The timeless Bartolo Colon (6-3) faces Jeff Niemann (3-4).  Derek Jeter needs only three hits to reach 3,000 and is a career 5-9 when facing Niemann.  More importantly the Yanks are 1-8 against the Sox this year, but still cling to a .5 game lead.

– If the NBA lockout continues then Deron Williams will be playing in Turkey.  And if the lockout goes on even longer, maybe people will start watching hockey again.

On second thought....

-Mets continue to roll, beat Dodgers 5-3.  Still hard for me to believe they will ever be a legit contender.

-Yeah, weddings are great.  Nothing like showing your wife how lucky she is.
