Will Ferrell....Every time I see this guy outside of the movies I just cringe. Oh well, I guess when you're rich and funny you can get away with doing this crap.

I've met the guy on multiple occasions. He's actually a really nice guy. He's not the same person you see on camera.

That's pretty cool to hear though i've heard other stories that he's a bastard but it's nice that you've had good experiences with him.

Probably old but I figured it's worth a post/re-post.

His humor doesn't really land anymore, but can't deny he's great for charities

I got no quarrel with that, except Shoeless Joe should go first.

Jayson Stark's thoughts on Rose and HOF.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

It's to the point that an entire generation thinks of him as the weird old dude who can't get in the HoF, and not the all-time hit king. I think that's punishment enough. My fear is that they'll wait until he passes to induct him, which would be pretty twisted and wrong to me.

I'm only in my 20's never got to see him play. But the first things I knew about him was the hit king. Now ask me about Shoeless Joe, old guy who can't get into the Hall because of some scandal in 1919. Rose won't get in and if he does that is bull unless Shoeless Joe gets in first.

Nice article on Giancarlo Stanton and what led to the contract he signed.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

Some might call me biased cause I am a fan of the Reds franchise. But Rose gambled as a manager not as a player. He has the most hits of all time put him in.

Re: MLB Off-Topic

How'd I never hear about this before? This year all final games of the regular season will start at the same time. Not sure who came up with it but that's a pretty good idea.
