I spoke with Reed for a while today. We should really tape our conversations because it's like a radio show. He's a funny dude. Speaking with Wayne last night and Reed today, we appear to be on track for the next show Saturday May 2 at 9pm eastern on XM202/Sirius 197. We're considering waterboarding Reed with vodka appletinis to find out if he really likes men.

We'll be at the new Opie and Anthony studios which are more intimate. Looks like we're going to have to bring in a cooler for the beers. And sneak it past security.

Episode 41 is on.

Some great footage from GTA Chinatown Wars in this clip. I play 2 hours a day. Great fun while drinking!

I've gotten drunk at the Superbowl, made out with a hot chick at halftime, and eaten amazingly unhealthy concession stand food that made me hallucinate. I get the allure of professional sports, despite not having any team I really care about. Sports such as baseball and football have a romantic place in America's heart. Unfortunately, professional sports have taken over this country like a cancer and are milking Americans for billions while owners and players become millionaires.

While New Yorkers are facing the prospect of a 25% hike in commuting costs, the government is giving away park land and bankrolling the construction of two new stadiums. The Yankees will pay no rent, and will pay zero property taxes. The 1.5 billion dollar construction cost makes it the most expensive stadium in world history and was bankrolled by taxpayers. Hundreds of millions in tax dollars is going to help private owners and players get rich.

Meanwhile, the most expensive part of your basic cable bill is the fees that go to ESPN - which is then funneled to rich sports teams.

And for fans of satellite radio, both XM and Sirius were driven to financial ruin partially by preposterous licensing fees from Major League Baseball, Nascar, and the NFL.

In city after city, rich sports team owners threaten to leave if they don't get hundreds of millions of dollars in handouts from taxpayers for new stadiums that taxpayers paid for but still have to pay again to get in.

It's sickening, when we don't have the money to run public transportation and schools, that a bunch of millionaires are getting public handouts, all because we have some overly romanticized illusion when it comes to professional sports.

Citizens could file a lawsuit to demand that taxpayers not be forced to foot the bill for billionaires - but then again baseball has been exempt from antitrust laws since 1922. The rules simply don't apply. And it will take a few $10 dollar beers to make you forget.
