Get Out of the Gym You Lazy Slob

So I get back last week from Ecuador and on Wednesday night I was contemplating going to the gym but instead deciding to skip the gym and simply play basketball which my mom followed by saying the gym is useless today you can't get any machine, which immediately flew over my head. Then on thursday when I went it hit me, its January, the absolute worst month of the year to go to the gym. It's a friggin thursday night, no one goes to the gym on thursday night, it's always empty I can get whatever I want, but wait its January, every fat father, son, mother, daughter, decides that I'm going to get healthy, my New Years Resolution is to work out and clog the gym for people like me who go 5 days a week 12 months a year. I hate New Years Resolutions.

I absolutely can't wait for the agony that will be my travels to the gym tonight after work, on monday always the most packed day, like a mini New Years Resolution, gotta start the week out right. It's going to take me a decade to do six excersises. I might as well just head to 95 and sit in the NYC traffic, that might be less frustrating.

Colin Cowherd's Stay Fat Campaign

Than this morning Colin Cowherd ranted on this exact issue and I am a proud advocate of his Stay Fat Campaign. You clog up the gym in January by February your population halves and by March you are all gone. Why, try? Just go away and give up from the start. With just 3 easy steps you sir can stay fat.

1. Wake Up
2. Eat Poorly
3. Don't Excercise Ever

I found a simpler way to get some exercise: I bought a mountain bike... and a DDR pad.

I hate commercial gyms, for the following reasons:

1. People who bicep curl out of the squat rack
2. People that bench with their buddy, who pretty much dead lifts the bar up for him every rep cause he uses to much weight
3. The guy that screams on every rep
4. The guy that throws 10 plates on the leg press machine and does quarter presses as the girls from the spin class walk by
5. The guy that advocates Yoga as a way to build core strength
6. The old person that looks at you funny if you ask to lift in
7. People that only do Smith machines
8. People that complain about the smell of ammonia and presence of chalk
9. The 5'3" woman with a "certificate" that weighs 210 pounds but for some reason thinks she knows more about strength training then I do because of a 4 night community college course

The list goes on and on...

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...
