Yeah, yeah, there are those of us who always knew this, but now there is a Federal Judge that agrees with us...

Cheerleading is NOT a sport.

Hey, don't yell at me, I didn't say it, he did...

A federal judge ruled Wednesday that Quinnipiac University has discriminated against female student-athletes by denying them the same opportunities to participate in sports programs as men and ordered the school, within 60 days, to develop a plan to correct the situation.

Watch the video after the jump (more...)

I wouldn't have believed this without having seen it. I mean, I have fallen asleep at Mets games, but that's after a six-pack and they were getting their tails kicked, but when the announcer falls asleep, now THAT's a problem

By now you've all heard of the Baseball fan who ran onto the field only to get his fool self tasered at a Phillies game (if not look at our header).

Cops halted a baseball fan who ran onto the pitch - with a TASER.

The teenager ran amok during Monday night's Philadelphia Phillies v St Louis Cardinals match.

A chasing police officer floored him in the outfield when he fired the stun gun.

The lad, aged 17, was able to get to his feet a few seconds later and then escorted off the pitch.

Two things:

1. While I feel that tasering the guy just might have been a tad excessive (but only just maybe), he was a first-class idiot for running on the field. I've been to games where guys have run out on the field, and it never ends well. It is a stupid thing to do, and always a bad idea.
2. It certainly was hilarious

Last night, I got to my first game of the season, sure they lost, but I traveled to Citi Field with my son, who was home from college for a couple of days. This is the view from out seats.

How cool is that?

Today is opening day @ Citi Field. As I pen this, Big Brother Ron, is driving into Queens to go to the game.

Here's hoping that he has a great day!

The Mets won 7 to 1 (last Friday the Yankees lost in the closing moments of the last inning to the Red Sox. If the Mets are going to play like the Yankees and the Yankees are going to play like the Mets, this could very well be a great season)!

And here is Uncle Ron enjoying his day, and his team's big win!!

There are some that swear this is the coolest of Winter sports (they are obviously crazy) while others (like us here at Cuppa-Central) who can't figure out what all the fuss is about. Well, for all of them, we present the following vid.

Personally we're of the opinion that curling is a sport like horse shoes, boccie and darts. If you can do it with a beer in hand and it doesn't really hurt your performance, it's probably not a sport.
