Papelbon: My Dog Ate The World Series Ball!

[nevermore621]

This is not football news, but I thought it was too good to pass up, just for laughs!!!

Jonathan Papelbon, closer for the Boston Red Sox, says he put the World Series winning baseball on his kitchen counter, and his bulldog somehow got up on the counter, got the ball, and chewed it to shreds.

There had been some recent controversy about where the ball got to. Now we know why, ROFL!!!

How funny is that??? Any comments from the "Peanut Gallery"???

I bet he really sold it...prepare for this thread to be moved.

Just though it was too funny to pass on... Just a little Holiday cheer... It's been a little slow on here today.

After all, we are all sports fans in general on here right?

He says he has what's left of it, actually. What an adition to the HOF that would make. The World Series ball that the dog ate!!!

Not to mention a homerun ball branded with an asterisk.

Ain't sports history great???!!! Regarding the ball with the asterisk, the reason it has one is not great. But that sports is reflective of this crazy thing we call life, IS great.

Yeah, that's what I meant to say!

[Raven07]

yes i would rather think so...i mean there has been quite a number a great things that have occured in this sports world....but to me....Football is my world and the sport in which i focus most on....and its history, players, coaches teams...everything

[smashmouth82]

with the way baseball has gone lately, this is only fitting. hilarious, but fitting.

[Raven07]

there always seems to be some sort of comedic level in, not just one level of Sports but at ALL levels.....and its those that draw people's attention to it and makes them listen/watch it more.

Hes obviously hiding until a couple of years. So the value can get higher.

That's a good one. If I ever start a business, I'll use that when my employees ask for their paychecks.

or get a really big dog and when anyone asks for their paycheque (< thats how we roll In the UK) have the dog eat them. I doubt anyone'll request payment anymore.

Would the dog be eating the payCHECK or the employee?

Why do you think you speak english?

[JonM229]

I call it American. I speak American when I order my Freedom Toast with a side of Freedom Fries. It's kind of gross, but I feel so patriotic eating it.

But we have fun doing it. And I guess it's alright considering we are in the Off-Topic section anyway.
