What do you mean you don’t know Braylon Edwards?

Now we know how some of the New York Jets spent their bye week. Of course they were in Vegas trying to mingle with some real celebrities. Page Six tells us

“Rihanna doesn’t take bubbly from strangers. While hanging out with a gaggle of assistants and singer James Blount at a party thrown by Vegas nightclub The Bank at Wonderland in LA, the songstress was sent a $10,000 bottle of Champagne by Jets receiver Braylon Edwards and a handful of his teammates, who were at a nearby table. But according to a partygoer, “She didn’t know who they were, so she sent it back.” Edwards’ rep says Braylon later introduced himself and all was well.”

That is definitely an ego check. I wonder what they did with that bottle.

What happened to Sammy Sosa’s face?

Seriously, WTF happened? Sammy Sosa is like Michael Jackson 2.0!

Jahvid Best is one tough S.O.B

Coming into the season I thought Jahvid Best was the best running back in the nation. It wasn’t just his speed that made him great, it was his toughness that surprised me more than anything. And that was tested on this leap into the endzone against Oregon St. He landed on his head and stayed motionless. Thankfully it was only a concussion. Here is to a speedy recovery.

Arianny Celeste takes you into the weekend

I am totally convinced Arianny Celeste loves me, but just doesn’t know it yet. Pretty sure this is how restraining orders happen. Have a good weekend losers!

Now The Fun Stuff

One of the great things about living in New York is that sometimes you get home and there’s a homeless man peeing in the vestibule of your apartment building.

Another great thing is that when your favorite team wins a Championship, they quickly make the rounds on the late night TV shows.

Jeter, Posada, Pettitte and Matsui made an appearance on Letterman last night, and Joba sat in with the Roots on Jimmy Fallon. (I still stand by it, no matter what you say)

The Yankees celebrate the World Series with bottles and models

What does one do after winning a World Championship in the greatest city in the world? Go to Chili’s or Applebees? Of course not, you go to one of the New York’s hottest nightspots 1Oak. At least that is what Derek Jeter, Minka Kelly, Kate Hudson and other Yankees did. I went to bed.

Did you hear? The Yankees won their 27th World Series

King Ing — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 14:20:14 +0000

So many bad thoughts come to mind when I think about the New York Yankees winning another World Series. We will just leave it at that.

Maybe Justin or California will supply you with a better post. But for now just deal with this video and a couple pictures from the celebration

Theo Epstein you better step it up.

A couple pictures after the jump…I bet you can’t guess which one is my favorite.

This Was a Bad Omen

Justin — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 05:43:30 +0000

Why was there a Mark Sanchez Jets jersey hanging on the wall behind Charlie Manuel during his postgame interview?

Was it there the whole time? That might have had more to do with why the Phillies lost than anything Matsui did or Pedro didn’t.

Good eye, Alex.

Nick Swisher stars as the poon hunter

Move over Derek Jeter. There is a new heartthrob on the team and he roams the Yankee outfield. Gatecrasher reports:

“A spy at Yankee hot spot Southern Hospitality tells us right fielder Nick Swisher has been getting the most love from female fans of late.”

“When the guys come in, they always go to the private back room — but not Swisher,” the regular dishes. “He’s always hanging out up front — and he definitely doesn’t mind mingling with the ladies.”

I wonder what actress/girlfriend Joanna Garcia thinks of all this?

Who knew there were Ron Jaworski impersonators

King Ing — Wed, 04 Nov 2009 18:18:06 +0000

So it looks like David Anderson of the Houston Texans does a Ron Jaworski impersonation. And it is pretty damn good. I just never realized “Jaws” talked in 3 word sentences.
