Battle of Wits and Brawn

From the NY Post:

A baseball executive says former Yankees outfielder Johnny Damon “is going to be lucky to get whatever he gets,” if he signs somewhere.

The AL exec told MLive.com that Damon and agent Scott Boras misjudged the market for the 36-year-old outfielder.

“Sometimes, we ask for too much,” the source, requesting anonymity, told writer Steve Kornacki. “Then, the smoke clears and you ask, ‘Where am I?’ And now, I can’t believe anybody is going to offer Damon more than the $14 million and $6 million the Yankees did.

“If you turn them down for that, you deserve one year for $3 million or whatever he is going to get. In February, teams have got guys in place. My feeling is that now he is going to be lucky to get whatever he gets. It’s still supply and demand in this game. And Johnny’s arrow is in the middle or going down.”

Well, maybe not all wit. Sorry Damon, you’ve now lost it all….

Start them early!

“Unleash the sex kitten inside…simply extend the Peekaboo pole inside the tube, slip on the sexy tunes and away you go!”

Tesco Direct, a UK online shopping site, has been forced to remove a pole-dancing kit from the toys and games section of its website after it was accused of “destroying children’s innocence”.

With marketing to 10 – 15 year olds like this: “Soon you’ll be flaunting it to the world and earning a fortune in Peekaboo Dance Dollars”… I can’t see how that’s “damaging”, I mean come on, bring out the super freak early in all of us right! Right Olive? eh?

Well I would love to see this as being another error in the web group where the product should have been explicitly marked as “for adults” but I don’t know, the site of the product in the toys section has been removed. Realistically, there’s nothing wrong with a little exercise at home around the pole and Peekaboo does claim: “it’s easy to get it up”!

Just hope you can get as skilled as this maiden of the pole:
