SPORTSbyBROOKS » Ozzie and Piniella Rap About Their Endorsements

3:45 PM Stuart Appleby won't try to keep his PGA Tour exempt status this weekend at the season's final event because he plans to oversee his own junior golf event in Australia. But if Tiger Woods wasn't going to be at that same event, do you think Appleby would be playing?

3:32 PM A Louisiana Tech fan's sign was one of the more creative efforts at the Boise State game last Friday. Okay, maybe not.

3:14 PM The Boston Herald's 'Inside Track' has a small promotional piece on Bill Simmons which apparently didn't set to well with commenters. Haters like that are the surest sign dude has made it firmly into the mainstream. Validation if I've ever seen it.

3:01 PM Steve Ellis of the Tallahassee Democrat reports today that FSU QB Christian Ponder is gone for the season with shoulder surgery. E.J. Manuel, a redshirt freshman, takes over. Joe Schad: Ponder will pass on draft.

Ozzie and Piniella Rap About Their Endorsements

Posted by Tuffy on Jun. 22, 2008, 11:00am

Chicagoans have a long history of crappy athlete raps. Okay, just the one, but it’s a trend setter:

Therefore, we shamefully include the following in the Chicago Sports Craptastic Pantheon: a car commercial with rapping managers/former athletes. Take it far far away, Lou Piniella and Ozzie Guillen:

(Our thanks to AWFUL ANNOUNCING for the legwork; we couldn’t stop convulsing after we saw it yesterday during the broadcast and were unable to capture it ourselves. We were shakier than José Contreras with the wind blowing out.)And, yes, Fallout Boy “performed” the seventh inning stretch Saturday at Wrigley, following Tony Romo earlier in the year. We become more concerned with each passing 4-2 week that our Cubs fandom will become threatened by Red Sox-level chicanery, making the Cubs’ 2008 into the Red Sox’s 2004.

So if you see us outside Wrigley tomorrow waving pH strips in the air, we are waving them as if we do care; we’re checking the douche level. Let’s keep it pH-balanced out there, Cubs fans.

This is Steve and it’s no wonder…Alwyas makes me laugh. I know every word to the Super Bowl Shuffle, one of my friends name a player and asks me to say their lines. I am pathetic.

Local boys made good, at least theoretically. That’s why Mr. Clean (aka Billy Corgan) sings about once a year. Suspiciously absent: Local H. Jus’ sayin’.
