Can You Say.... Uh, Gay!!!
>> Wednesday
The White Sox will start all home games next year at 7:11 because of their new sponsor...who else Seven Eleven. All I have to say is gay, gay, gay, GAY!!!
And in other news, Lawrence Phillips (he of the "Where did Tom Osborne hide LP's handgun" faces 20 + years in prison after driving his car into a group of bystanders at a local club. Way to go LP for kepping the awesome stigma of Nebraska football going. Keep us proud

Mother of God, if ESPN picks up any Sox home games, this means another 11 minutes of...(insert name of your personal least favorite ESPN baseball broadcaster/color man/studio host here.)
Whatever, credibility went out the door as soon as the Sox named their ballpark after a fucking cell phone company. Even I've started to call it The Cell, so my Big Gulp of pride has already been swallowed.
They're getting money to sign better players. The Chicago Bears are officially known as "The Chicago Bears Presented by Bank One". Bank One gives $2.5 million for tacking their name on the end. No one will say "The Chicago Bears Presented by Bank One". Credibility has nothing to do with it. It's just the new way of doing business.
Yeah, I can't say I have much of a problem with it. It's a relatively unintrusive way (completely unintrusive, actually) to make some cashola. So be it. It makes for a silly story and gimmick, but shit, I think it's a pretty slick business move.
I thought 7/11 was long ago relegated to a table tennis (ping pong) score. It still actually exists as a gas station? Damn.
