Sundays are great. We read the Sunday paper, kick back in the afternoon, and chill out until its time for the Celtics and the Patriots, respectively, to further improve their flawless records.
Well, it’s true, isn’t it? What do you expect a cocky New England sports fan to do, be humble about it all? That’s like asking Barry Bonds if he took steroids and expecting the truth. Oh wait . . .
Anyway, we thought we’d share with you some fun from our satire pals over at www.etruesports.com. Check out their spoof of oft-sleazy agent to the superathletes, Scott Boras. All things Borat tickle our funnybones, and this Boras-Borat send-up is no exception.
P.S. If you’re in the mood to vote and enter to win an Ecoist bracelet, be sure to vote for Gossip on Sports in the Project Blog competition. The polls reamin open until Tuesday at noon (EST, we think). We haven’t garnered a ton of votes. Don’t worry, we’re not crying or anything. (There’s no crying in baseball–or any other sport. Right, Suzie Waldman?). But still.
Thanks, Jodie. Would you have done me this kindness if you’d seen the below? (You bet we apologize!)
Adrift without their customary self-pity, Boston sports fans are overwhelming the city’s suicide prevention hot lines. “They don’t know how to handle being happy,” one psychiatrist explained. “God help us if the Celtics keep winning.”
Are you kidding me? We know people who called!
Not to worry, Frank. We know that dishing it out means knowing how to take it, too. ;)
Good one!
More inside Boras stuff for you, J.
Scott Boras vehemently denied a former teammate’s allegation that the knee injury which ended his minor league baseball playing career was caused by diving for a loose quarter, not for a line drive, as the agent has previously claimed.
