Free Taco


America is now eligible for a free taco from Taco Bell on October 30, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. (local time) thanks to Jacoby Ellsbury's steal in the fourth inning of tonight's World Series game.

The free taco comes from the promotion "steal a base, steal a taco" by Taco Bell.

So go get your taco on, during a day that Southern Californians dub "taco tuesday," and hang out at vomit-smelling bars like Rockin' Taco in Fullerton.

Personally I have been staying away from fast food joints all together; I do not know, trying to eat healthy or something, yes call me a wuss bag. But the beer is never leaving me!

This intrigues me though because a Red Sox player made it possible for the free taco. I may have to pick on up at Taco Bell and find a transplant Boston fan and throw it in his face. "In Da Face!"

That would be wicked pissah.

Pat Riley Taking Antoine Walker's Plate Away


General Manager move of the year!

Okay it is not a done deal yet, but reports are out today that the Heat are dealing Antoine Walker and others to the Minnesota Timberwolves for Ricky Davis and Mark Blount.
*Update: Done Deal*


He did what I thought was the impossible, trade off the contract of Walker. I may have already been a fan of Pat Riley before this because of the Showtime Lakers, but he has just elevated himself further in my book.

How do you get a team to take this unmotivated, overpaid basketball player? Riley had called this guy out in the media for being out of shape a month ago, and now he found a taker. Genius.

I know it is not the a groundbreaking deal, or one that has glitz and glam to it. But the fact that the Miami Heat is on the verge of getting rid of Walker is godly.
