Hello, Goodbye, & Screw You
Don't let the clubhouse door hit you on the way out, RobinsonCano. Already peeved that the Yankees didn't show him respect or put in any "effort" to re-sign him, the brand new $240 million Mariner got the deadbeat dad cover treatment today from the New York Daily News. Without getting into the merits of the claims in the story, this article probably doesn't run on the front page in this manner if Cano was still in pinstripes. Anyhow, if Cano wants some respect, he can get it here.
Meanwhile, new Yankee Jacoby Ellsbury was all smiles during his Yankees introduction, perhaps because general manager Brian Cashman showed some effort by getting his wife Kesley a bouquet of flowers.
Vote Hekker
There's not exactly a lot of momentum to get John Hekker to the Pro Bowl (he leads the NFL in net punting yards yet he's outside the top-ten in voting), but Hekker'steammates made T-shirts supporting "the real Johnny Football" that urge fans to "Help Hekker get Lei'd." You know what to do.

The Show Must Go On
Come February, Gronk won't be playing in the Super Bowl but he's keeping his plans to shoot his scene for the Entourage movie. As far as Gronk sideshows goes, this ranks a couple notches below posing shirtless with a porn star.

Hawks Cheerleaders Spoof Sharknado
It's pretty terrible, but not in an amusingly awful way like the film it attempts to spoof. But consider this appointment viewing if you like cringeworthy sketches.

Friday the 13th prank
Very funny but this is a horrible, horrible idea, especially in a "Stand Your Ground" state like Florida.
