Boston.com is reporting that the Red Sox have signed Japanese lefty reliever Hideki Okajima to bolster their bullpen.

The deal apparently runs for $1.25 million per season for two years, and should provide some reliable help for the Sox staff, not to mention a formidable opponent for Daisuke Matzusaka to battle with his flaming samurai sword.

David Ortiz, unfortunately, exclusively utilizes a giant battle axe.

Reading this story, you'd think that no one has ever met Allen Iverson before. Were people seriously running around, firing guns in the air in blind panic when Allen Iverson didn't show up for a bullshit team function?

In other, less surprising news, you can bet your fucking life that Kyle Korver showed up for the team bowl-off. He's doesn't exactly look like he's out thuggin' with mad bitches, now does he?

Not that any rational human being cares, but Mike Vick is being fined $20,000 for showing a bunch of douchbags his finger. As quoted from ESPN.com:

"The incident for which Vick was fined occurred shortly after the Falcons lost to the Saints, 31-13, a defeat in which the Georgia Dome crowd jeered the home team and its quarterback much of the day. As Vick was heading toward the tunnel that leads to the Falcons' locker room, he exchanged words with fans screaming at him, then alternately extended the middle fingers of both hands."

Normally I would criticize the world for being so absurdly concerned when an adult who is being harassed responds in kind. Unfortunately, I just found out that swear words and obscene gestures make baby angels explode into flames and fall screaming from Heaven. Sorry, NFL. You were right about that one.
