Alex Rodriguez has decided to not participate in the Home Run Derby. His reason? He doesn't want to mess up his swing. According to A-Rod, the Derby has tendencies to affect the mechanics of a batter.
It is easy to understand players protecting themselves, but this is a bit much. As an MLB player, he is obligated by the league to participate in events such as these, especially during All-Star Week. The players owe it to their fans to give them entertainment.
No, I am not talking about our beloved Ghost on here. Instead I wanted to share my thoughts on here about dead profiles. If anything else is a stranger thought to me, it is this one.
Looking through familiar profiles, going through their friends, I see people I have never heard of. So I peruse through the unknown person's comments from years back. I start to think to myself about where these people are now. Think about it. Their last comment was from a few years back.
Just got back from an eventful 3 days in Memphis. I was there for a wedding. It is surprising that I had never been there before, seeing as how I am from Knoxville. I loved the city right off the bat. For those of you who have never been there, let me offer my advice.
Rendevouz- The best ribs I have ever had. It is in a back alley and hard to find, and I am in no position to give you directions. All the locals will know where it is, however, because it is the most popular restaurant around. I recommend it to anyone going to Memphis.
Fannation usernames are extremely important to any member. It helps to give people on the site recognition of who you are. You would have no clue who was writing this had it not been for my name. These pieces of information are so important to people's fame on this site. So what makes a good name?
Good FN usernames are one of two things. One is having one short part of your name that can be used to put endings at the end. For endings, put teams you are pulling for what is going on in your life. Keep the basic name short so you have enough space for an ending. Good examples of these?
A Typical Manning Family Dinner
Eli: Will these NBA playoffs ever end so ESPN can start covering our training camps?
Peyton: Well, it will be boring this preseason because so many people are skipping, Urlacher and Benson to name a couple.
Archie: I just thought of a way to make money. Have worthless competitions before the season that do not count in order to draw in fans to make more money.
Peyton: Dad, they already have those. They are called preseason games.
Cooper: I miss playing football. You think I will ever do it again?
Olivia: The heck if you will. My boy is not getting hurt or getting a disease again. Just live your dream life throughout your brothers.
Peyton: I can't believe we lost to the Chargers this year. They suck, we just were out of sync.
Eli: Maybe you should wear a golden thong.
Peyton: Really? Ya think so?
Eli: I know so. It works. All the pros are doing it.
Archie: Boys, I can tell you what I did whenever I was in a slump.
Cooper: Dad, you were in a slump your entire career. I don't think your advice will help.
Archie: Cooper! Go to your room. (Cooper leaves)
