Baseball Has Always Been Full Of Cheaters…Let’s Keep It That Way

Posted on August 16, 2011 by Colin Ward-Henninger

I’m not usually a big fan of YouTube spoofs. There’s nothing worse than showing your friend a hilarious YouTube video (like this classic) only to have them say, “Oh I have to show you this one– it’s soooooooooo funny!” Then they direct you to some atrocious Rebecca Black “Friday” spoof which is stupid and horrible and you have to pretend to laugh.

So needless to say I was skeptical when I was looking for a specific Bloodsport montage and I saw “Bloodsport Mentos Commercial” instead. Turns out, just like pretty much everything, YouTube spoofs have exceptions to the rule… Continue reading →
