Are you serious….you guys and girls need to get your head out of the gutters.  I’m talking about Artificial Turf vs. Real Grass.  I’m gonna do a quick head to head comparison between the two; their similarities, differences, even yes…. people’s opinion.

Artificial Turf, ie: Astro Turf, was first used in the 60’s at the Houston AstroDome. Obviously grass has been around for ever and I don’t know nor am I gonna look up where it was first discovered.

Astro Turf can obviously take a beating.  It is used in almost every sport where grass is played on.  Astro Turf can be subjected to the heat of summer.  On hot days, Astro Turf will sometimes give off a burning smell of rubber.  On a plus side, Astro Turf requires little to no maintenance to sustain viability.  Whereas grass obviously is ripped and torn and must be replaced.  Which lead me to my next point….Grass must be replaced when ripped and torn, but so do the ligaments in your outfielders ankles.

Astro Turf has been linked to numerous sports related injuries.  Most common are the “rug burns,” but more seriously, is seems athletes’ bodies are subjected to more wear and tear when playing on Astro Turf.  Although injuries have been reported while playing on Astro Turf, science has progressed, and given it a grassier (I don’t even know if that’s a word) feel with more give.

Public opinion is mixed about the use of Artificial Surfaces.  My personal feeling is sports were meant to be played outside on a fresh cut lawn.  I think in the cost cutting future, our communities school corporations, sports arenas, and various venues, will go the way of the dollar.  What is going to be more cost effective over the long haul?  Re-sodding the field after a rainy night in October where your field is covered in mud, it finally dries out enough to cut the grass (which you have done 38 times since August 1^st),  and then repaint your hash marks.

I think we all know the answer, and I fully understand cost benefit, but everywhere from high schools to the pros are going the way of Astro Turf.  I just believe in a few things and one of those things is this….

I am not a big fan of the TD celebration. It can be necessary in a big moment or on an incredible play, but when you do it just to do it you deserve this:

Thanks to Chris Askew for coining Lebron James’ term “I’m taking my Talents to South Beach” as an euphemism for beating the bishop.  There have been a lot of comments popping up on Fanbrew, about taking our talents to South Beach…. So I thought I’d write a quick article about some other high profile sports athletes who either left their prospective home teams or got caught taking their talents to South Beach (That’s the TMZ in me…sorry)!

I’ll hit the highlights….

Players who left their teams:

Brett Farve left the Green Bay Packers in 2008 for the New Jersey Jets.

Shaquille O’Neal left the Olrando Magic for the Los Angeles Lakers

Johnny Damon left for the Evil Empire that is the New York Yankees

Pedro Martinez left the beloved Red Sox for the New York Mets

Lebron James left the Cleveland Cavaliers for the Miami Heat

The Beach Combers…….

April of ’08, charges were filed against, Penn State basketball player, point guard Stanley Pringle, for giving a pretty young lady a tour of South Beach in the campus library.
August of ’08, Nebraska University, two wrestlers including a former national champion were dismissed from the wrestling team after nude pictures of themselves showed up on an Internet pornography site, allegedly performing on South Beach (separately of course)!

May of ’09, Buffalo Bills, Corey McIntyre, was arrested for allegedly showing South Beach to a 59 year old woman in Port St. Lucie.

May of ’10, Lawrence Taylor, Former NY Giant, NFL Hall of Famer’s defense in a under age prostitution case is that her was just taking his talents to South Beach, not pleasuring the sixteen (16) year old girl!

I love the fact that Fanbrew.com, was one if, not the 1^st, with Chris’ help of course (much respect) to coin the phrase “I’m taking my talents to South Beach.”  Personally…I love it!!!! Hopefully you guys will be able to hit a few more sports highlights that I might have left out.  Until next time…….I’m thinking about hitting the beach!  Be sure to vote below….I want to see if you guys think Lebron’s Term “I’m taking my Talents to South Beach is Disrespectful to Cleveland Cavalier Fans?

Ozzie has been known for his rants and his raves, but personally, this one is over the top. Monday, August 2, 2010, Guillen, released a statement condemning Major League Baseball for not educating Latin American players about the dangers of Performance Enhancing Drugs. ESPN quoted Ozzie as saying:

“I’m the only one to teach the Latinos about not to use,” Guillen said Sunday. “I’m the only one, and Major League Baseball doesn’t [care]. All they care about — how many times I argue with the umpires, what I say to the media. But I’m the only one in baseball to come up to the Latino kids and say not to use this, and I don’t get any credit for that.
“They look at you and they say, ‘Good for you Ozzie,’” he said. “Ozzie said it, don’t worry about it. If somebody else said it they would be playing that [stuff] every day on the Jumbotron. … I’m the only one that came up with that idea. I did it for the Latino kids. … I want to help those kids.”

So not only is Ozzie the only person apparently talking about Latino’s and PED’s, but Ozzie is also commenting on MLB’s preferential treatment of Asian players over Latinos. The Chicago Sun Times quotes Ozzie as saying, “Guillen says it’s unfair that Japanese players are assigned translators when they come to the U.S. to play pro ball, but Latinos are not.”

Ozzie has said that MLB executives definitely do not like his latest remarks, however, he will be disappointed if baseball fines him for his comments. I sincerely hope Guillen is using these latest set of remarks to bring to light an injustice he sees. If he is just fueling the Ozzie fire, I definitely don’t agree with it. Knowing how the world works, there probably are injustices that need to be corrected, however is Ozzie the only one doing anything about it???? I highly doubt it……..

First and foremost I am not and do not consider myself a beer expert by any means. The other members of Fanbrew explore the beer world. Its safe to say my palette is not very refined, but hey… it works for me…. That’s the background, now for the Miller Lite vs. Bud Light Party Test.

So I decided to perform a little social experiment during a get together with co-workers. The results…scary…..

I purchased one case of beer a piece. Twenty Four (24) bottles of Miller Lite and Twenty Four (24) bottles of Bud Light. I put both cases in the same 40 quart cooler, Miller on the left, and Bud on the right. I then covered the bottles in ice. Note: the necks were sticking out, with caps showing….

As people started to mingle, I offered the obvious choices, water, pop, beer, and wine. I did not specify what beer was in the cooler. Long story short, I wanted to see what beer would be drank the most. Can anyone guess?

At the end of the night… I open the cooler to find these numbers left:

Fourteen (14) Miller Lites & Two (2) Bud Lights

How could the disparity be that much? Could it have been a left versus right thing? Did that many people prefer Bud Light over Miller? Domestic Light beer is Domestic Light Beer. I fully understand that, but what drove Bud Light to destroy Miller Lite in my ever so small social experiment? I really can’t say for sure. What are your thoughts? How would you have made the experiment better and what should I consider for the next time?

On a side note, I think the Bud Light people were more fun than the Miller Lite people.

Special thanks to Flicker’s, Wombatunderground1, for posting a picture of miller and bud next to each other on flicker. You can paste this link into your browser to find their site. http://www.flickr.com/photos/wombatunderground1/2662074490/.

Are people shying away from the Sprint Cup Championship Series, NASCAR’s, driving elite? The answer is….”YES!” The Brick Yard 400, once a powerhouse for revenue, is reportedly grossing under 10 million from a high in the 30’s. International Motor Speedway (IMS) is also discounting ticket prices, to get people into the gates. There’s only one problem, PEOPLE STILL AREN’T COMING! The Chicago Tribune wrote “NASCAR estimated that attendance has fallen in 14 of the first 19 events.”

Hell…People aren’t even watching it. ESPN is reporting a 13% drop in television viewers as well. Let’s face it, times are tough, recession, people out of work, and prices on everything seem to keep going up from milk to meat. I still think that if NASCAR produced something that was worth (A) going to…and (B) watching, fan’s reaction would be different. Until then, I’ll keep watching Will Smith kick some alien butt! And BTW… I just love that speech Bill Pulman gives!

GQ says of Hawk:

Hawk is an unbearable homer, and at very, very least he doesn’t hide it. When the Sox score a run, it’s “1-0 good guys!” In the midst of a play, rooting for a positive White Sox outcome, he’ll yell, “Stretch! Stretch! Get over his head!” And when a player doesn’t let him down, he’ll give him an “atta boy.” Listening to Hawk is just an immensely grating experience (we’ll leave Steve Stone out of this), and it is only compounded by his attempts at folksiness. In an interleague series, the Nationals are the “Nasty Nats.” A pitch on the handle of the bat is “jam city.” And when a player strikes out, “he gone!” Let’s just say Hawk’s mouth might be put to better use as the tail end of a human centipede.
