Pasquarelli on Baseball??
Today Len Pasquarelli of espn.com broke the Kyle Farnsworth story, announcing that he is going to sign a lucrative deal with the New York Yankees to be their set up man. I thought that Len Pasquarelli was strictly an NFL reporter for espn.com, when did he get into baseball? Maybe I'm alone here, but does this strike you as a Geico commercial? Play it out, Pasquarelli walks into George Bodenheimer's office (he is the president of espn), Bodenheimer welcomes him in and he is expecting him to have some kind of big story on Terrell Owens going to the Dallas Cowboys. So Bodenheimer says ok, what do you have on T.O.? Pasquarelli then responds with, well, sorry boss, I've got nothing on T.O., but I've got really good news....instead of telling him he saved a bunch of money on his car insurance he says....I just heard that Kyle Farnsworth signed with the New York Yankees to be their set up man. Imagine the look on Bodenheimer's face. Did Pasquarelli eat Buster Olney or something? When did he start to report on baseball? Pasquarelli is a great reporter no less.

Ohhh Boxing, is there a bigger joke today in the world of sports? Boxing has fallen farther and farther down the colletive sports interest tree, and now its sitting below the branches of the WNBA and Slamball, basically, its just above the stump. Lets just come out and say it, Boxing is fixed, and its just as big a show, well no, its not as big a show as professional wrestling. Honestly, wrestling is more entertaining, and instead of having Don King promote these fights, lets have Vincent Kennedy McMahon get involved and really make things interesting. This whole crybaby angle between Bernard Hopkins and Jermain Taylor is pathetic. I'd rather watch a bunch of seniors bump and grind to Bing Crosby at the Intermission on Bingo night. Instead of bringing in Elvis or calling each other crybabies, Vince McMahon would play a different angle. He'd have Jermain Taylor bring in a guy that made Bernard Hopkins his bitch when he was in prison and Hopkins could counter by walking down the isle with the army known as Evander Holyfield's illegit to quit squad. You get the idea, boxing needs Vince McMahon, and they need him fast. Speaking of needs, I need a better week in my nfl picks, but I need a real big week to finish off the fantasy football season. The NFL picks will be up in the next 2 days, have a great day.

Sources tell me Pasquarelli is a former Atlanta Journal-Constitution reporter, among other places, which would make this break a little more understandable.
And agreed, Pasquarelli is a king. His Monday morning stuff on ESPN.com keeps me sane at work.
