Tynan's Anger

A lot happened in one day

It's by no means a coincidence that my first weekday after finishing classes in the college is my most successful day here at Tynan's Anger. A combination of Gerard Butler fangirls and appealing to Will Leitch's schadenfreude to all things Cubs have created unprecedented traffic to this site. While I imagine the bounce rate will be enormous, hopefully those of you who stick around will find this here blog, the only place to get sports, theater, and everything in between in one blog, to your liking. I'm off to deal with my real life for an evening, but until then, here are some things I didn't get to today.

MSG is making a push for the NCAA tourney after it renovates in 2012 (note how the MSG renovation lines up so neatly with the Mayan apocalypse). I'm opposed to it, if for no other reason than the Dolans don't need another thing to fuck up.
With all due respect to Gene Wojciechowski, while Chicago certainly has plenty of interesting sports things going on right now, it's not quite on the level of golden thongs on 38 year old men, popcorn-pushing GM's who declare the rights of black men to call women bitches, a Super Bowl title, an epic September collapse, and a hockey player posing as an ice dancer all occurring within 12 months of each other (with the $27 million man being caught with a prostitute in Toronto narrowly missing the cut). New York even pulled a surprise upset over Illinois in the lets see how fast our governor resigns contest.
Wow Camp Tiger Claw is without a doubt one of Deadspin's greatest commenters, I may never forgive him for this gratuitous Joba nipple ring shot.
Finally, if you are living in New York right now (which I will be doing once again in 1 week's time) you may in fact have herpes, as may many of your friends. 1 in 4 is a rather high ratio, though the racial and sexual divide is a big part of it. If the rumors are true about Derek Jeter, I bet he uses a significantly less entertaining name than Ron Mexico.
