Karaoke Fight Breeds Better Play?

So I didn't touch on this earlier in the week but perhaps you heard about it earlier, two players on Liverpool, Craig Bellamy and John Arne Riise got into a little scuffle after a night of vigorous karaoke. The two were arguing over a karaoke competition and the obviously short fused Bellamy took a golf club to Riise's legs. Quite humorous if you ask me. He did get fined 155,000, hopefully he won that amount in his karaoke competition.

Well anyway Liverpool headed to FC Barcelona today to face the defending European Champions, aka the best club team in the world for the uninformed, in their Champions League draw. And what did the two of them do? Well Bellamy scored the equalizing goal in the first half to make the score 1-1. And then in the 74th minute Bellamy assisted Riise to put The Reds in the lead for good.

And there's a lesson for you folks if you want to gain extraordinary performance from individuals in your organization here's a plan of action.

1. Short Fused Employees
2. Booze
3. Karaoke Competition
4. More Booze
5. Golf Club

Then next week your Org will be better than ever.

If soccer was like american football, bellamy would have pulled a pac-man Jones and shot Riise in the chest while punching a stripper in the face.

Numbers On Steroids: Mickey Mantle

Numbers on Steroids is a look at baseball players during the 90s to see if anything screams out at you. This week it's throwing a curve ball and looking at All Time Great Yankees. Players that we know did not take steroids to see if this gives a defense to any of the players 'convicted' by Numbers on Steroids. Time to look at my dad's favorite athlete of all time, Mickey Mantle. Averages Say: What's with the mysterious dip at 27 and then the uptick? At Bats Per Home Run Says: That's a mighty jump from 22 to 24 Explaining As If It Was the 90s If you take a look at the numbers there are two time frames which in the 1990s would be questioned. First would be the incredible leap he took from his first year in the big leagues to his first MVP season in 1956. His batting average jumped 50 points. His slugging percentage jumped 90 points and he hit 15 more homers than his previous high. This wouldn't merrit a conviction nowadays though because the young age he...

Guest Post: Thoughts on Sabathia Signing

I asked Grutt what his thoughts were on the Sabathia signing and I thought his response pretty much nailed it. So here it is. I don’t know. Every year I get a little more disenchanted with baseball. Yea, it’s great we signed the top pitching free agent. But we were supposed to. No team was even in the ballpark of the Yankees offer yet they still needed to jump from the already ridiculous price of $140 million to $160 million to close the deal. Now I hear we are going to sign more pitchers who will also get large contracts and the position player gaps are still glaring. Each new, large contract just adds to the feeling that the Yanks are supposed to win it all. “I think we have a good chance this year.” That is a lost feeling. If they don’t win I’ll wonder why, like there has to be some other reason besides that it’s a sport you can never predict how things will work out and some years just aren’t yours to be won. If they win I will be pleasantly smug. It gets a little more...
