LMAO.....

Hilarious. This is the same SI that was sure that Torre was going to be a lousy manager. They said his decision to start that rookie Jeter at SS was evidence of his poor managing ability.

These guys do a fabulous "swim suit" edition. They should stick to "soft porn", it's what they do best.

They probably sold plenty of copies in two major markets. Boston bought them with high hopes. Everybody in Boston is sleeping with one under their pillow. YANKEES fans purchased them the way a teenager might buy "Mad Magazine". Pure slapstick comedy.

Lets be a little more realistic. Lets assume that team USA will win the world cup in soccer and Norway will win the gold medal for basketball in the next olympics. why don't we pick Nigeria for the next gold medal in hockey. I have an 18' sailboat in California. I think my nephew and I will use it to recapture the Americas Cup. I feel like jogging today. I think I'll go break a few Jessy Owens records this afternoon.

Peedrow Mahteenez is gona win 45 games and Ted Kennedy is gonna quit drinkin. The Celtics are the next NBA champs.
