Episode 190 - Eye Gouges, Concussed Bats and Finally a Game 6 with The Girls!

Maverick's game, but the one that seems to have stuck was this little diddy: Bill Belichick Abuses Corpse! Allegedly! Look for it next week. Or listen in to get the real story on Belichick and Tom Cable. Then, after the dust has settled, we can hopefully return to just covering sports and all the nuttiness that comes when man and game collide. So off we go to the land of cable news, and the Colbert Report. They've stepped up big time to support the speed skating team of the US of A. Somebody's got to look out for our land's biggest thighs. But rather than dig deep in their own stuffed pockets, they do what everyone else does - ask the citizens (who have so much disposable income laying around it's hard to keep track) to fork over their dollars to support the team after their bank sponsor bailed. Banks, disappointing us again, and leaving us to fund their pet causes, too. A meet and greet with Appolo Ono, and The Fantoo Girls are behind you with serious coin. We not kid. Visit www.colbertnation.com to join in the fun. We run right by Brandon Spikes because we like to look at ourselves in the mirror, but we do pause long enough to cackle at the 'punishment' handed down by that meanie, Urban Meyer. Wow. A whole half a game. Shiver. That's brutal. And against Vanderbilt! Will the injustice never end??? Justice is being served in this year's World Series. And we can all actually call it a series as the big one goes to a game 6 for the first time in 5 years. Sweet. Baseball lovers are delighting in the play on both sides. From small ball to long ball to double plays to mound visits galore, there isn't much missing in this series except for a clear cut winner. But that will be known in mere days. In the meantime, rest assured that Cole Hamels is not a whiny baby, Kate Hudson is not the reason behind A-Rod's clutch performance, Jorge Posada and CC Sabathia are not lovers who can't bear to be apart more than a pitch or two, and the Yankees have more to lose, and thus their sphincters are a little more clenched as we approach the official end of baseball. May the mound visits be few, the ground balls many, and may the series go to 7 games. Our Rookie Look keeps us close to home as we shine our global spotlight on James Van Riemsdyk in this week's Fantoo Girls sports podcast. He's tallied his first three-point game, leads the league in rookie scoring, and still manages to get his dinner free at Applebees...when his Mom is with him. Dude looks like a youngster! Don't worry James, the league will age you. Just look at Sidney Crosby. Oh. Bad example. Ovie - he looks older since he joined. But he also looks happier. Must be all those blondes. Hopefully you'll get your fair share and keep the points coming. Maybe grow a 'stache. We cover some hits that hurt and leave you with a Forsberg sighting. It's been awhile, but he's still out there. Is that any way to treat a bat on Halloween? Manu Ginobli takes a bat out of thin air with his hand. One swat and one concussed bat lay stunned and motionless on the hard court. But he had to swat the bat with bare hands. We think a uniform adjustment is necessary. Manu picked up the bat and brought him to the sidelines to be disposed of. Didn't one person there get his first aid badge in Cub Scouts? You're supposed to save the bat so you can save yourself from rabbis shots! Poor Manu. Takes one for the team on the court and now he'll have to take 16 needles over the course of a month to make sure he doesn't go all vampire. Since Dirk Nowitski doesn't like sharing the spotlight he dropped 24 in the 4th quarter against the Jazz just to make sure the whole Manu's a Super Hero thing died down quickly. Bravo to both. Down in Memphis the blues have hit the Grizzlies. Guys, don't acquire Allen Iverson if you plan to make him angry. He doesn't fall for that reverse-psychology thing. Bring him off the bench and he'll start looking for ways to not even be on the bench to be brought off it. We wish he went to Spain. But the real concern is Delonte West of the Caveliers. So, he went for a ride on his 3-wheeler motorbike. And just in case a wild and rabid boar crossed his path he brought along his trusty handguns (loaded), a shotgun(also loaded) and a 8.5 inch knife. What's the big deal? Well, cops kind of frown on that stuff so he's dealing with charges from them, domestic abuse charges from his wife, and a little thing called bi-polar. Anybody think he ought to take a leave of absence before the law forces one on him? Dude's dangerous. And not in your typical NBA guard kind of way. Stay safe, Delonte. On the gridiron we dish on Favre and his groin, introduce our "Eric Mangini Sucks" segment, and marvel at the simplicity of the Saints success. Finally, in this week's IT HAS TO BE SAID we define the words "election" and "purchase". So grab your lever, hit up a tailgate party and bring some dip...it's time to talk sports with The Girls! And don't forget to wash your hands!show less...
