While you were, you know, watching the All-Star Game last night, Derek Jeter did The Top Ten List for David Letterman.
Here’s The clip via YouTube.
(For some unknown corporate reason, I’m not allowed to embed YouTube clips on the blog. Since I get paid on Friday, seems best not to mess with that.)
Seems we see better top ten lists on here than that one was.
#2 on the list was CLASSIC – take that BoSox fans!!!
Maybe Jeter “gets to read lame top 10 list for has been” should have been number 1. .
Isn’t Viacom collecting the IP addresses of people who view content in violation of copyrights?
Nevermind— it’s the official CBS youtube channel.
Viacom needs to calm down, seriously.
Peter Rabbit, it comes from CBS’s YouTube channel, so you’re allowed to watch it. Don’t start to feel too free, like you can go around tearing off mattress tags or anything, though.
Aye, Google had to fight to keep our IP addresses anonymous!
I wonder who Derek lost the bet with. He didn’t look like he enjoyed reading the Top 10 List at all.
He looked like he had more fun in Tampa with Biff than this.
I thought it was pretty funny.
Peter: Viacom doesn’t realize that without Youtube, ratings for Stewart and Colbert will go way down.
Viacom got the part of the database saying what was watched, though supposedly YouTube got to remove usernames and IP addies.
Here, that Red Sux fans you need 19 more championships you are no where near we are.
Rebecca: Oh, they did indeed realize. That’s why we’ve got full episodes available at thedailyshow.com and Colbert’s website.
JonMichel— LOL @ repeating one of the Top Ten’s like a robot!
Right now on ESPN, they’re saying Clemens has overshadowed the ASG.
Uh….No.
I don’t even remember one person mentioning Clemens last night.
lol Rebecca that’s because they thought we were all watching ESPN saying on Sportscenter that whole report about Radomski right about the 12th, 13th innings. They thought we decided to watch that isntead of that classic ASG… and then not hear the report meantioned once on FOX
I don’t even pay attention to the whole Clemens thing, it’s not baseball news so I filter it out. It’s not like he’s 25 years old and we need his arm!
Who is Roger Clemens?
Clemens?! Rocket?! Radomski!? HGH!?
:::gets in car and zooms to nowhere in particular:::
anyone able to find video of the various players and people of NYC singing new york, new york just before the start of the game (end of the red carpet tv broadcast). that was rather nice
How many GM’s did Brian Cashman see or talk to about buying or selling during all the festivities ?
….And they just called Nate McClouth “Nate McLovin”.
….Wow.
Maybe Jeter “gets to read lame top 10 list for has been†should have been number 1. .
I like Dave :-\
me too
Rebecca -
ESPN feels the needs to create news for the next 2 days.
There’s no hockey or basketball and football training camps are still another 10 days away.
Hence the need to be creative.
Stan: Yeah, but there’s creative and then there’s overkill.
I think this is like one of the four days in the entire calender year that there are no games in any of the four major sports.
“Football training camps are still another ten days away.”
That is NOT too far away to be talking about them.
Skippy: Defintiley not, considering the Brett Favre coverage!
Just a clarification for those worried about the whole Viacom thing from someone who has been following it…
Yes Youtube(Google) was ordered to hand over user data to Viacom by the courts and originally it was going to include IP addresses but Google and Viacom came to an agreement to sheild the identities in the data that is handed over. (The agreement stipualates that Viacom will not bypass the encryption used to Google to do this, so there is no chance Viacom can use this to sue anyone, but it potentially could get out in the public domain.) It is not like Viacom would be successful in suing individual users anyway but the breach in privacy is not something to take lightly.
Obviously the problem here is that Youtube (Google) is keeping this data in the first place. If they do not store it, they can not be ordered to hand it over when something like this comes up. The only problem is that this sort of data is ridiculusly valuable especially to Google’s line of buissness so it is unlikely (although there has been talk) of Google stopping this practice anytime soon.
I was moving my broken TV today and finally ran across my 1994 tax return that I SWORE that I mailed in….I hope the Feds believe me !
Good job, Derek, but Letterman hasn’t been interesting since 1987.
How long does it take Favre to order at a restaurant, like a day?
Doesn’t he realize Eli will just beat him down again?!
goddammmit…..
we have to wait until Friday for baseball?
anyone have any idea how scranton’s rotation is lined up now? (particularly, this coming Sunday?)
Did anyone just see Cano, Melky, Veras and Betimit playing golf? It was hilarious. Cano was just like you would imagine him to be. He’s like a little kid, it was great.
SaucY: Actually it works out well.
I’ve got tickets to the IMAX midnight showing of the Dark Night and it takes a while for me to get to Palisades, so I don’t have to worry about missing the end of the game
If the captain is going to take 10 minutes out of his busy schedule atleast make it funny.
http://www.nj.com/yankees/index.ssf
at last some good news?
well, i’m off to the barber. i was thinking of getting this
what do you think?
“Obviously the problem here is that Youtube (Google) is keeping this data in the first place. If they do not store it, they can not be ordered to hand it over when something like this comes up. The only problem is that this sort of data is ridiculusly valuable especially to Google’s line of buissness so it is unlikely (although there has been talk) of Google stopping this practice anytime soon.”
It’s getting to the point that you will have to use a proxy for everything.
saucY, that would be … interesting… hope you don’t have as many head scars!
Posey to sign with the Hornets.
Where’s Brandon?
Gallinari hurt back–>back to Italy
Balkman carried off floor (ankle)
Knicks sign Anthony Roberson (end of Starbury?)
“Obviously the problem here is that Youtube (Google) is keeping this data in the first place.”
That sort of data is also used for site features like your viewing history that you can make public or keep private, either way it needs to be stored.
Perfect timing for the All Star off date – now I can go (ie, get dragged along) to go look at furniture with my wife, and not think about the game I’m missing.
“It just kind of (ticks) me off because if that gets (expletive) written and I’m riding in an (expletive) parade today with my wife so she doesn’t feel safe because some (expletive) from the Daily News says I want to close the game, and that ain’t true,†he said. “See what I’m saying?
“That was an easy headline for that (expletive) to say, ‘Yeah, Papelbon wants to close.’ Of course I do, that’s my competitive nature. But I’m stepping away and saying I don’t need to close.â€
http://bostonherald.com/sports.....ion=active
I find this quite humorous
By the way, Papelbon’s wife was is due New Year’s Day. Was the kid conceived in Japan?
@ DFox
“That sort of data is also used for site features like your viewing history that you can make public or keep private, either way it needs to be stored.”
Well, yes, if you sign up for an account. But when you do that you agree to a EULA anyway – you sacrifice your privacy for convenience. The data talked about here is collected from everyone who accesses that site, not just logged in users.
If you don’t think storing this kind of data can be dangerous, look up how last year AOL accidentally had a leak which released phrases people searched for tied to their IP addresses. It may seem harmless but by being able to see the entirety of what someone searched for, many peoples personal information (SS numbers, addresses, phone numbers) became public knowledge.
Notice how Papelbon keeps going on about his wife being pregnant? That is to help gain sympathy and turn the event from it being about his stupid comments, which were recorded (so, no, Papelbon, it was what you said). All the dancing he is doing now is to deflect it from being his own fault.
The man is a turd. In a few years I bet he isn’t even closing anymore.
Mel–
You forgot the big news: Nets sign Eduardo Najera!!
Rebecca -
“I’ve got tickets to the IMAX midnight showing of the Dark Night and it takes a while for me to get to Palisades, so I don’t have to worry about missing the end of the game ”
Got my tix for midnight as well. I can wait unitl Friday for baseball. I’ll watch Batman Begins tonight on the big screen at home, then get my mind blown the next night by Misters Nolan, Bale, and Ledger.
(Claps hands giddily and smiles like a little boy.)
Radnom, you have a good point, but recording IPs are the only way a website can really protect themselves. If someone does something illegal on the site, or in YouTube’s case, they were probably checking for bandwidth abuse, recording IPs can protect them and at least give them a chance to block a user or track them down.
wow!! pete just made an unknowing appearance on my local news’ sports report at 6!! way to go pete…time to approach ABC abt some royalties for using your image
“By the way, Papelbon’s wife was is due New Year’s Day. Was the kid conceived in Japan?”
I guess we’ll have to wait and see what the baby looks like.
So there are ZERO AAA yanks in the MiLB ASG?
Skippy,
Had not heard about that. Is that a good thing? He’s a good role player. Can’t tell if you’re excited or being sarcastic.
lol @ Vin.
Where was Hideki-san?
O/T – The New Year’s Day outdoor hockey game will be played in Wrigley Field between the Chicago Blackhawks and the Detroit Red Wings. The NHL will consider using the new Yankee Stadium for 2010.
did the yankees sign richie sexson yet?
What’s everyone’s take on this:
“ESPN’s Peter Gammons reported that the Red Sox recently turned down a proposed Teixeira-for-Kevin Youkilis and Craig Hansen deal.”
Would the Sox really turn this deal down? or is that red sox shill just making up stories?
from:
http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/.....d=tab2pos1
Papelbon has turned down several opportunities to do muffler ads.
LAA @ BOS – (BOS)
TB @ CWS – (TB)
TB @ BOS – (BOS)
STL @ NYM – (NYM)
LAD @ CHC – (CHC)
NYM @ CHC – (CHC)
CHC @ BOS – (BOS)
No, that top ten wasn’t very funny, but am I the only one who is surprised (uh, rather pleasantly so) by how racy that last one was?
Youkilis is under Boston’s control until 2010 & he’s pretty damn good. Why trade for Tex & pay him all that cash.
jete is going to take some heat for #2
but it is so true
My favorite –
DRUM ROLL!!!!!
NUMBER 2 – which is a perfect toilet reference for the Red Sox.
Ha ha!
Hey, anyone have two extra tickets for 2 August they want to get rid of?
I can actually afford the tickets this time around, but every time I check stubhub, it says the tickets aren’t available!
Yep, Youlickus is good and the Sox have a better deal by not trading him for Tex.
So lets say NY can get Tex and Boston gets to keep the guy with the personality disorder. Fitting, and its good for all involved.
Guys on the Red Sox who should never become Yanks: Varitek, Pedrioaphelia, Youlickus, Manny, Schilling, Papleblowhard.
There are a few guys over there whose hypothetical signing by NY would tear the heart out of Sox fans (ala Damon) but right now I don’t see any of those happening.
NY won’t need their closer when Mo’s done. The guy won’t be so big of a deal by then.
Ah! I just found two! Paid way too much for the seats, but I’ve never been to Old Timers Day before!
On second thought, Varitek can become a Yank only if his contract has a clause stating he not only has to accept being the backup for whoever the heck is catching (Posada, Moeller, Me, Pete Abe or ANYone)and that he has to cary A-Rod’s bags and hand wash his jock.
Papelblowhard oughta be offered a contract stating that he can have the big bucks he thinks he deserves, but he can never pitch the 9th inning. If he pauses for a millisecond the offer should be pulled off the table and he should be told ‘good luck with the Mets’. Dorkwad.
How is A-Rod all about his own ego and the money if that Polypbon guy isn’t??? And how can Sox fans say ‘But he HAS to have that kind of cockiness / ego in order to be a good closer’ when Mariano’s never been that way?
If they are going to try to move the “innings eater” – I hope they left with the legs
fr mlbtraderumors – Charley Walters of the St. Paul Pioneer Press tosses out a trade scenario:
It will be interesting whether the Twins try to package Michael Cuddyer and Livan Hernandez in a trade for a slugging third baseman before the July 31 deadline, saving $20 million in guaranteed money to Cuddyer and $2.5 million to Hernandez. Denard Span ($390,000) would replace Cuddyer in right field, and Francisco Liriano ($400,000) would replace Hernandez in the starting rotation.
Going with your boyfriend Rebecca? Is he still your boyfriend? I hope he’s paying for his own ticket!
mark: No, my brother. He gets first dibs on any tickets I get if he’s around.
Why would Minny get rid of Livan? Inning eaters are quite valuable.
Boston has an all star 1b, Lf and 3b. Why get Tex?
Innings eaters with a 5.44 era at $2.5M/year? Not so much.
Plus I think they have some younger pitching to bring up (no, not Sandy Koufax)
Mel, it’s not just the innings that he eats, it’s the post game spreads that he gobbles down before the rest of the Twinkies get into the clubhouse.
I’ve always been a big fan of Livan. I think having a known quantity in your rotation has inherent value… just knowing that tomorrow’s starter will get you to the 7th inning while giving up 4 or 5 runs has to make the manager’s job easier. No, of course, I wouldn’t want him at the front of my rotation. But guys like him (and to a lesser degree Corey Lidle, Steve Trachsel, etc.) are useful because you know what you’re getting from them. It has to be maddening for a team to have a guy like (just for argument’s sake) Pavano because going into a season, you don’t know if he’ll perform like a #1, a #5 or even make it onto the mound.
KNBR 680, the Giants’ flagship station and The Sports Leader in the Bay Area, is reporting that Barry Bonds might sign with the Yankees!!!
Well, perhaps “reporting” isn’t the right word, as the extent of their “reporting” is that Cashman didn’t completely dismiss the possibility. It’s a very slow sports day.
Still, before you stop laughing and/or clean the vomit off your keyboard, ask yourself this: which player would give the Yankees the chance to win more baseball games in 2008: Richie Sexston or Barry Bonds?
Yeah, Vin. It must be a great comfort to the manager to know the team usually needs only 6-7 runs to win a game. It sure would make me sleep easier.
Nick, I go with Sexton. He can play defense and at least walk without a limp. Not only that, he’s actually seen pitched balls thrown in anger over the last 10-11 months.
Along with being 13 years younger.
If age was the only factor, we’d have to go with Tabata.
The defense is a good point, not so sure about the limp, but if Bonds didn’t come with one he’d probably have one soon enough. There’d be less risk of that if he just stuck to a home run trot.
Due to lack of attention, playing the part of ‘Randy I, Livan Hernandez apologist’ this episode is ‘Vin’
Greenberet, are you really as much a numnut as you sound?
Great for Jeter, but has every last funny person left to write for the Daily Show? Save for #2, that list is seriously unfunny.
Cerulean Blue, does it bother you that much that not everyone drools over Bonds? Bonds has zero value. Age 45 and the last two players that tried hitting on a regular basis at that age flopped drastically, and they didn’t bulk up on steroids to do it (Fisk and Rose).
Mel,
I heard a rumor on the radio today that the Lakers might get Ron Artest and give up Lamar Odom for him.
Any truth to that?
Nick, even home run trots produce injuries. Remember watching Giambi get hurt trotting out his home run in Toronto, last year?
Giambi does seem to scoot around the bases with short strides when he makes his trot.
I don’t know about Bonds having zero value. Somewhere between zero value and adequate value… but where?
There’s no chance Bonds will be wearing pinstripes this season. In fact, he won’t be paid to wear any major league uniform.
Too much baggage and all of the owners have basically agreed that Bonds ain’t worth the circus that comes with him.
The only positive about Bonds being on a team would be that he would take the attention away from everyone else. I don’t see him being a key to winning the rest of the season, he hasn’t been swinging at ML pitches in a long time either.
Anyone watching the Yankee Stadium special on ESPN?
No Angel, but I’m bored out of my mind and now have something to do. Thanks!
Considering its ESPN, its been actually pretty good so far.
Thanks Angel! Just turned to ESPN now. Seems pretty good.
Thanks. I was bored too. Funny how no Yankee baseball can mess with your mind! (Yeah I know, so does Yankee baseball. Ha ha.)
My favorite Stadium memory. It has to be Aaron Boone’s homer. I screamed so much I never thought my throat would be the same.
Haha. I was kind of expecting the words ‘good riddance’ or ‘toilet’ worked into the title somehow …
Wish I knew this was on. I’d love to have a tape of it.
Now this is funny
Anyone know when espn will show it again? I missed the first 20 minutes.
Jennifer I’ll see if I can figure it out by looking at the online guide.
I think the Radomski news is part of a worldwide secret plot to make sure beat writers have to work every day.
I can’t find any more listings. I’ll be surprised if we don’t see it 100 more times but there isn’t anything coming up soon.
I bet they’ll release it on DVD – they did the Bronx is Burning. I’m getting all teary actually.. Thurm, Murcer, Rizzuto… its a little bit emotional.
tried to look to see when it repeats so ic ould record but alas only showed this showing if anyone finds out when it airs again please post so we can tivo
Mine doesn’t show any upcoming airtimes either. I usually does so you can DVR them.
It’s a lot emotional.
They really own our souls don’t they? I guess if I have to be owned there’s no better organization to do it than God’s hand chosen, the New York Yankees!
I don’t watch ESPN much, but i’m surprised they didn’t publicize it more even on other channels. I was scrolling through my guide looking for something to watch and saw it by chance – otherwise I would have have missed it.
Yeah I tried looking through the listings too, didn’t see it. I set my dvr to record the program at any time. Hopefully they’ll show it again, since they show every other crap show a million times.
Just looked at the dvr 7/23 9pm. Don’t know if it is a repeat or a new one.
It had to be from above that an Angel saw it and the rest of us showed up in time here to read her post!
Seems odd that Radomski suddenly finds this stuff under a TV. McNamee and Radomski are very strange people to “hide/hang on” to this stuff.
In a beer can and under a t.v. next he will find Piazza’s or Delgado reciept under a lamp light
I actually just scrolled through 7 days to get a TBA!
Rodomski might be confused, he’s also admitted to shipping a number of Beanie Babies to Clemens. The proof is in the ebay feedback.
I hope Michael Kay is watching this! The curse of the “no hitter”.
Oh I found it on Amazon – you can buy the DVD.
http://www.amazon.com/Yankee-S.....B00189PSVS
I got the DVD for ffree at fanfest
Thanks Angel!!
Its actually pretty good, Rebecca. I’m fairly impressed and think it would be really worth having a copy of.
Rebecca how was fan fest? I missed it was in Toronto.
Hahaha…look at Boggs riding around on the horse
Thanks. I’m going to order it now.
Damn, there’s some pretty good bonus features on the DVD. It’d be worth it for those alone, lol.
Just ordered the dvd along with other things I didn’t need.
Starring Chazz Palmenteri? Huh???
MY
FAVORITE!!!!!
I know that feeling, Jennifer.
Did you like Toronto?
That Boone HR…good times..good times..
We need some more good times like that!
Jennifer am I ordering the right thing? This says something about Palmenteri.
I loved it! I want to go back! The city was fun, met lots of great people. IT was soooo clean too!! I was talking to some guy and told him that. He’s like oh man everyone tells us that! But it is so true!
I was on the same flight back as Pete, got stuck waiting for the plane, made friends with everyone!
He must be narrating it.
For baseball junkies that love seeing clips of the old players (older than the Yankees, anyway), FSN (Fox) runs a series called “The Golden Age Of Baseball”. There isn’t any set schedule as far as I can tell. All of the FSN channels show it. Great home movies from players and fans and mostly in color. Ruth, Gehrig, DiMaggio, Williams, Mantle….great stuff. Hopefully, Fox will put this in a set and market it. For those that haven’t seen the old Ken Burns series…shame on you.
Yeah, I liked Toronto a lot when I was there too. It reminds me of home a bit. I have friends who live there.
I think Jennifer’s right and he narrated it.
Oh yeh I forgot
Humberto Sanchez today
1 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 1 K
1.35 ERA, GO/AO 1-1
Baseball Tonight making their predictions.
Let’s see if anyone mentions the Y word. So far I’ve heard Tigers and White Sox.
Jennifer: It was a lot of fun. I discovered i can throw a fastball at 30 mph, and that I can hit a foul ball off of Pedro Martinez
(well, sorta)
I also bought a Rivera t-shirt (YAY!) and hat and shot glasses and other goodies.
Rebecca that sounds like fun!!
Is it me or did Steve Philips just take a s… on the Mets 9 game wiining streak
Is it me or did Steve Philips just take a s… on the Mets 9 game winning streak
? (FIXED)
What a stunner. Top web gems of the first half and the Red Sox are in it…
Meaning that ESPN once again spreads its airwaves for the Sox, not that the Sox earned it.
Sounds like you had a blast, Rebecca.
Let’s see if ESPN shows Gardners winning hit off the Red Sox.
Major league kudos to ESPN for the segment they just did on Yankee Stadium.
It was tremendous. (No not the Yankee Cathedral program. Baseball Tonight did a whole segment on Yankee Stadium, with NY NY playing in the background.
AWESOME JOB even if they did feel the need to show the Marlins win the world series and Josh Beckett running looking like a grinning idiot…
Boy those were bad
