Although I’m not American I’ve been well aware of the New York Yankees winning the World Series thanks to the multitude of updates on facebook from American friends. It is, apparently, a reason to celebrate.
The core players of the World Series winning New York Yankees team, Derek Jeter, Andy Pettitte, and Jorge Posada, appeared on The Late Show With Dave Letterman last night. They were later joined on stage by MVP Hideki Matsui.

Pool is a real man’s game. You’re most likely to find it being played in the roughest bars in the roughest parts of the roughest towns and cities all over the world.

Being British, I think of American football, or just football depending on your point of view, as a bit of a game for sissys. Why all the padding and helmets? You don’t get any of that in rugby.

Here’s an idea. Why don’t we go snowboarding on a mountain in the middle of winter? And hey, why don’t we then fly a kite while attached to the snowboard and see what happens?
It’s a well-known fact where I live, Georgia Bulldog fans sound a lot like soldiers in the movie 300. And, as a Georgia resident I’m not really surprised by the insanity that comes out of this young man’s mouth in this pre-game “interview.”
