John Henson was hit by a Mack Truck last night

So I was at the game last night and didn’t notice this particular play at the time but holy shit give John Henson the Oscar right this very instant.

This isn’t the first motion picture Henson has appeared in, either. Here’s one from two years ago:

There’s a joke about making something out of nothing and him being racially profiled at a jewelry store earlier this year somewhere in this blog, but I’m too much of a class act to write it.

You’ll be able to stream live Indians games next year

From Forbes:

“As part of the quarterly owners meetings in Dallas, MLB commissioner Rob Manfred announced that the league and FOX have reached a 3-year deal to provide games streamed in-market to computers and mobile devices. The deal encompasses 15 regional sports networks. The following teams that have rights deals with FOX Sports RSNs that will be streamed in-market in 2016:

-Atlanta Braves
-Cincinnati Reds
-Cleveland Indians
-Texas Rangers
-Detroit Tigers
-Kansas City Royals
-Los Angeles Angels
-Miami Marlins
-Milwaukee Brewers
-Minnesota Twins
-New York Yankees
-Arizona Diamondbacks
-San Diego Padres
-St. Louis Cardinals
-Tampa Bay Rays

Those that have ditched their televisions in favor of going with just internet content will be in a lurch if they wish to take advantage of getting games in their local markets. Users will need get the games streamed through FOX Sports Go, or FOX distribution points online. Like the MLB All-Star Game, users will have to authenticate to show which FOX regional sports network is part of their TV carrier’s package. Games will not be streamed as part of MLB.TV Premium, which includes the league’s popular At Bat for mobile devices.”

This is great great great great news for people who have decided to cut cable like myself (it actually starts this weekend for me and I’m absolutely terrified.) Play the password exchange game with your friends and family to get yourself a TWC, DirecTV or whatever login and you’re golden for Cleveland sports. The Cavs already stream on Fox Sports Go, and if you absolutely insist on having as shitty a Sunday as possible, you can get the Browns over the air with an antenna. I really wish the MLB deal was through MLB.tv so I could overlay Hammy while watching but beggars can’t be choosers I guess. I just really don’t want to miss him call Puig’s first bat flip.

 

KEEP THE CHIEF

(VIDEO) Watch the Cavs crush their 70’s night introduction video

I stumbled on some tickets just before tip last night and sat down pretty much right when the lights dimmed…I would have never forgiven myself if I missed intros. I could watch this all day. All. Day. The Cavs spare no expense on 70’s throwback night, I’ll tell you that much. They did it RIGHT. From the moment I walked into the Q I felt like I was in Flint, Michigan ready to cheer on the Tropics on to fourth place. Real quick on that:

  • Vakidis = Mozgov, obviously (“God damnit Vakidis! Learn fuckin’ English!”
  • Downtown Funkystuff Malone/Coffee Black/Clarence Withers = JR Smith
  • Scootsie Double Day = Mo Williams
  • Twiggy Munson = Andy Varejao
  • Dick Pepperfield = Fred McLeod
  • Dewie the bear = Vacant. Formerly Perk
    • Side note – did NOT know Dewie actually killed someone in real life. Cover your sodas. Dewie loves sugar.

Along with the intro video they played some hilarious stuff during timeouts and in between quarters. Hopefully they release some of that too because you can’t call yourself a Cavs fan until you’ve seen Delly perform Kung Fu Fighting.

Anyway, here are some highlights:

If Usher and John Legend had a baby and that baby was actually their father from the 70’s
