NY Gays Can Marry, Hef Had Already Married (But Not in NY). Great, Can We Get Back To Business Here?!
Seriously, enough funny business.
I was waiting for the most opportune moment to come back on the BTeam, which is not dissimilar than Adam Dunn's waiting for the most opportune moment to start earning a paycheck. YAA! GOT HEEEEEMMMM! (ehem, Allow Brian Wilson to explain for me. ... It\'s gonna be a thing)
An Open Letter to NY State Senator Greg Ball
Normally we don't get political here at BTeamBombers, but this one feels kind of important and it represents yet another shift in how social media and the web as whole can effect the democratic process. As the debate over gay marriage rages on in the state of New York, state senator Greg Ball (R - Dist. 40) has taken to twitter to ask the public how we think he should vote. Ball is a young moderate who recently stated that he cannot vote in favor of a bill that doesn't include language for "religious protections". Ball seems to be giving the issue careful consideration however, which is a welcome break from the knee jerk responses often found on both sides of this issue. The senator wants to here from the people. If you'd like to be part of the discussion, you can respond to his tweet "Opening up the discussion! So, if you were me, how would you vote on gay marriage? Yes or No?" @ball4ny, email him at gball@nysenate.gov or call his office at (518) 455-3111. My response is below.

An American in FIFA
I went to my first FIFA game this weekend (a friendly between the US and Poland at Soldier Field) with HefNasty, Mrs.Nasty and some friends. Holy shit. What a time. If your fandom for soccer is casual/non-existent, go to a game. It will make you a believer. The total experience of being there is about so much more than the game on the pitch. This is lost when watching soccer on TV.
Rock and Roll Never Forgets
You know what’s awesome? Music. And boobs, of course. But I’m gonna go ahead and talk about music in this post. Pop music, folk music, even classical (as long as it’s got some feeling) is, without a doubt, the fucking shit.
I Put On For My City
As pitchers and catchers report and I buy tickets for my annual pilgrimage to Mesa, AZ, it’s hard to escape the feeling that this year could be ours. With the young, revitalized Hawks on top of the division, one has to wonder if it’s time for Chicago to end another drought. As the trade deadline looms in the NBA, we are offered a glimmer of hope towards a Bulls playoff run. Throughout all the trials and tribulations, ups and downs, living and dying with our teams, expecting nothing less than perfection, coping with disappointment and finally rejoicing when a team does it, rooting for Chicago teams is a truly unique experience…
If Glenn Beck Embraced Sean_Hef’s love of Soccer
So, for some reason, my retarded pseudo-roommate compared Sean_Hef to Glenn Beck today in the comments of a great Chicago post Sean wrote. While nothing could be further from the truth (I know this because I'm not filled with blind rage every time I read or hear something Sean has said, or see his face) I thought it would be an interesting little exercise to simulate how Glenn would defend the so-called "Beautiful Game".

Five Things for Guys to Do In Chicago
by Sean Heffernan
The Windy City is one of greatest places in the world to be a guy. A sports fan can find a professional sporting event almost every night of the year to attend. There are more sports bars and Irish pubs than any single drunk’s liver could handle in a lifetime. And the city is world famous for two of the greatest guy foods in history: pizzza and hot dogs. What else could you want in a city? Here’s my list of five things for a guy to do in Chicago, IL...
