In other news...I have to mourn the passing of my top celebrity crush. Johnny Damon, how could you? You were everything a girl wanted in a celebrity crush that wasn't real and I knew I would never meet in real life: hot, exotic, long beautiful shiny hair, buff, dumb as bricks, talked like you had some of that big league chew gum stuck in your teeth, hot, and you played for the RED SOX. And two years ago, you might have been worth this contract. But not now. Not now that you're married and want to have dumb, hot little children with your dumb, hot little wife which means that in about 2 years you will lose all of your love of the game and probably get into steroids to keep your home runs coming so that you can support your dumb, hot little family. No, now you are only worth a four year, 32 million dollar contract. That's what you should have gotten. That's what you deserve. Yes, you are were one of my all-time favorite players, but now you are a TRAITOR. And I do not believe the other Bo'Sox fans that think we should have offered you MORE just to keep you from going to the Yankees. Because they have proven time and time again (ahem, Alex Rodriguez and Randy Johnson ring any bells) that they can throw all of the cash they want out and still not buy a World Series. My friend named her CAT after YOU and now you play for the YANKEES? Do you really want to do that? I am now relegated to have crushes only on earlier named local TV Personalities and Peyton Manning, who is unfortunately, only attractive on the inside. *Sigh* I guess Mike Modano will have to move higher on my list.

I see this post has been updated...I like it.

I hate the Yankees. A lot. Damn Yankees. (Go Cubbies!)

I love Peyton! I love listening to him when he's on Bob and Tom; he's so funny. The hour he was on last year is hilarious...I still have it on my computer. I love the MasterCard commercials too. He's gooberiffic. Dorktastic.

Might I also recommend Joey Harrington and Scott Rolen? Joey's just adorable (despite his shortcomings as a QB, but I usually blame that on the Lions organization) and Scott is attractive and very intelligent...and he wears a baseball uniform...it doesn't get much better than a baseball uniform. ;-)

I have to admit that I like the Yankees. Sorry Cannonball and Greeneyes! I'm not an A-Rod fan or a Randy Johnson fan at all!! I was a big fan of Dave Righetti (pitcher from 1980's), Don Mattingly (first baseman power hitter from 1980's)and Tino Martinez (first baseman) to name a few. I know that it is hard to see your favorite player go to another team to play. I've watched many Yankees do it over the years. They just look funny in different uniforms. I'm not overly happy that Bernie Williams will be the back up center fielder.

Well, except that now the Bo'Sox won't have him...that was one smart move in resigning Bernie.

Don Mattingly was a good player.

My deepfelt hatred for the Yankees has always been there, even before I was a Red Sox fan. Yes, I am a convert, but I'm a convert of the pre-world series type. I just love Boston and the culture and grew up without a baseball team and decided (probably because I was a Bruins fan) that Boston was my team. So my Yankee's-hatred grew.

See, I'm on Tobacco Road, and an NC State fan, and I have this theory that UNC fans are 90% guaranteed to be Yankees fans (they buy their wins) and 90% of NCSU fans are Bo'Sox fans (the blue collar teams).

I like the Cubs, too, greeneyes.

I never thought twice about Manning until I watched a couple of games this season and I just really enjoy watching him play football...he's unlike any other quarterback out there. And I was surprised to learn that he's actually a really good guy.

And you're right, baseball uniforms are the best b/c they have baseball players in them. And baseball men tend to be a little more stocky that other sports, which is how I like them...

Go get 'im. As a recently transplanted Jerseyan (to Colorado) and a still-diehard Mets fan, you can imagine my feelings about the Yankees. Right up there with what Red Sox fans must be feeling. The eternally self-centered Clemens I could understand, but DAMON! Why couldn't Boston let 'em have MATT.... DAY-MON instead???
