One Quitter, One Winner

By now you've probably seen the LeBron James Nike commercial responding to all the criticism he got for the Decision and for turning his back on Cleveland in general. And as much of a douche as I think LeBron is, I have to admit, this was actually a pretty well done commercial. Those guys at Nike are geniuses. If you haven't seen it yet, watch it here:



But then today, I found out about an even better "commercial." Check out this parody from the city that LeBron left behind.



I love it. Score one for Cleveland.

And it's only been four days since the Giants won the World Series, so I'm certainly not going to stop talking about it now. Check out Brian Wilson's appearance on Jay Leno last night. Make no mistake, I hate Leno (don't forget, Conan's new show starts Monday!) But I love Brian Wilson.

As a side note, no one in San Francisco calls Brian Wilson "the Beard." Stop trying to be cool, Jay.



Here's part two of the interview.



Happy Friday, everyone.

Go Giants, Go Vote, Go Watch Due Date

The Giants lovefest on this blog is far from over. This is a preview of this week's Sports Illustrated cover.

Also! It's Election Day today, so get out and vote. (Remember the last election when voting was the cool thing to do? And P.Diddy threatened to kill you or something if you didn't? Yeah... not so much this year.)

And in case you're wondering, the Punch officially endorses...

I defy you to give a reason to vote for Meg Whitman. Seriously. This is a woman who has zero political experience, has admitted that her ads are false and misleading, has flip-flopped numerous times on issues, and is basically trying to win the governor's seat by buying it (she has spent more of her own money on her candidacy than any other self-funded political candidate in U.S. history). And let's not forget that SHE DID NOT VOTE IN AN ELECTION FOR 28 YEARS! TWENTY-EIGHT YEARS! And now she wants people to vote for her?! That is freaking absurd. Vote Jerry Brown.

Anyway, I'm getting worked up here. Let's end on a lighter note. Need something to do this weekend? Try this.

Now I Can Die in Peace

The first sports game I ever attended was a San Francisco Giants game when I was maybe five or six years old. They were the first team I was a true fan of and I've always told people that the Giants winning the World Series would be the most meaningful championship to me of any sports team that I'm a fan of. And now that it's reality, it means even more than I had thought.

I'm having a hard time coming up with what to say to fully express how I feel, but maybe that's okay. No words needed. There's just pure exhilaration and joy.

San Francisco Giants. 2010 World Champions.

To the Series

One more to go...

On to the Next One

See you in Philly.
