Cheers and Jeers: A Little Dick’ll Do Edition

2 oz. George Dickel® Tennessee whiskey
3-5 splashes citrus soda

Since Mighty – actually his official name is now Dr. Mighty – is on hiatus, I figured I’d pick up the slack for him and post a Cheers and Jeers. Hopefully it’s something our favorite physician political scientist would be proud of. In honor of the title, this week I’ll be celebrating notable sports dicks...

Jeers: To John Calipari for screwing over yet another NCAA program. Just like at UMASS, the Memphis Tigers will now have to vacate their season records and their Final Four appearance. Only a dick like John Calipari could become the first coach in NCAA history to have two schools he coached vacate their Final Four appearances.

Cheers: To Stephen Strasburg for being a big swinging dick. He is now not only a badass for throwing 101mph but he’s now the wealthiest rookie in baseball history. Life is pretty good right now if you’re Mr. Strasburg. All he needs now is a catchy nickname like “The Rocket”, “The Big Unit” or “The Ryan Express.”

Jeers: To Tim Tebow. Why? Not for anything he did, per se, but merely for being such a pansy. And since the topic of this week’s C&J is “dicks”, there’s no doubt in my mind that Tebow has eaten his fair share of them. I give Timmay credit though; at least he’s comfortable being a homoerotic pinup boy.

Happy Friday everybody!
