Derek Jeter ad

[B.A.R.]

i always just wonder if the person posting it is the same kind of person that texts with emoticons. probably.

Just winks and smiley faces once in awhile

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Warms my heart that a thread about Jeter devolves into a purse fight.

I don't care if he rescues cute little kittens from trees and farts Sinatra off the field. He lost me at pinstripes.

 

[~Utah]

doubt you really hate him tip.

If Derek was at your front door you would shake his hand and invite him in

 

[tru]

As an Os fan, fuck Derek Jeter

Just winks and smiley faces once in awhile

I'm sure Clingers live tha jokes about weight an shit, then tha wink at tha end to keep em guessin if what u said was tru or jus a joke.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

If Derek Jeter were at my door, I'd boo him.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

I saw his first bomb live. Jacobs Field. Somewhere in the back of my head I thought, "This fucker's going to bug me for quite a while."

 

[DaRaiders]

Love the commercial, very classy

+1

 

[DaRaiders]

Brought a tear to my eye...all you haters only wish he was a member of your team....put the hate aside for a moment and tip your had to a guy who played the game right, played hard, and was always about the TEAM no matter how high his star rose.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Blah, blah, blah.

Good player. Retire already. If he played for the Indians, or the Brewers, or the Twins, or the Reds, or the Rangers, or the Pirates, would we give a shit?

He's a great player. I'll even give him the Hall of Fame. But go fuck off already.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

He's also 100% available in every fantasy league I know. He's no longer good.

 

[Lareux]

Did Cal Ripken Jr get a farewell tour?

Yes, he certainly did.

 

[Lareux]

Chipper Jones had a farewell tour as well. As did 'Mo last year.

 

[tipyerbartender1]

Farewell tours in pro sports will always be lame, a day late, and a dollar short. And the Yanks seem to get a fair chunk of them. Fuck 'em.

 

[Gorgolon Lives]

Jeter good player but the farewell tour and the all star game story I think is more of a publicity stunt for the MLB.

Jeter gets props from the salty yougman.

[New_York_Bob]

congrats on a great all-star game Derek.

Now I hope the Yankees finish in last place

 

[BetCrimes1984]

Jeter good player but the farewell tour and the all star game story I think is more of a publicity stunt for the MLB.

Good distraction for the pathetic offenses the sport is wheeling out these days.

 

[Jayhawk Nation]

Yep....Jeter is real classy...............

Not so classy, captain!
Yankees star Derek Jeter, one of New York’s most eligible hunks since his split with longtime gal pal Minka Kelly, is bedding a bevy of beauties in his Trump World Tower bachelor pad — and then coldly sending them home alone with gift baskets of autographed memorabilia.
The Yankees captain’s wham-bam-thank-you-ma’am kiss-offs came to light when he mistakenly pulled the stunt twice on the same woman — forgetting she had been an earlier conquest, a pal told The Post.
“Derek has girls stay with him at his apartment in New York, and then he gets them a car to take them home the next day. Waiting in his car is a gift basket containing signed Jeter memorabilia, usually a signed baseball,” the friend dished.
“This summer, he ended up hooking up with a girl who he had hooked up with once before, but Jeter seemed to have forgotten about the first time and gave her the same identical parting gift, a gift basket with a signed Derek Jeter baseball,” the pal said.
“He basically gave her the same gift twice because he’d forgotten hooking up with her the first time!”
Jeter, who fiercely guards his privacy to protect his All-American image and multimillion-dollar marketability, split with the gorgeous actress Kelly this summer and has been playing the field ever since.
The veteran shortstop usually shies away from the limelight, preferring stay-at-home parties with a tight circle of trusted friends.
“He normally doesn’t go out with girls. He will have them come to his house. He’ll have cocktail parties. His friends invite girls they think he’ll be interested in. He’s very shy,” another friend explained.
“He’ll occasionally take girls to a restaurant. He has a couple of restaurants that he goes to that aren’t trendy,” the friend said.
“He goes to Nino’s in New York. He used to go to Mustang Grill on the Upper East Side. I know he’s been dating multiple girls. He likes a hole in the wall, or he likes a place that his friends own. He’s very cautious. He’ll only go out on off-nights,” the friend said.
Afterward, Jeter sneaks the beauties home for some heavy hitting.
“The girls go through the back-door entrance in the Trump World Tower to avoid the paparazzi,” the pal said. “He broke up with Minka in the summer and is definitely over her. He is playing the field.”
And while the parting gift may seem cold, signed Jeter memorabilia sell like hotcakes on the Internet, with an autographed baseball fetching hundreds and even thousands of dollars.
Neither the Yankees nor Jeter’s reps immediately returned messages for comment.

So a single famous guy bangs a lot of women and never calls them again so he is not classy? That means every single man alive is not classy

Hey, Fox, Tony Gwynn Died, You Know...

Here’s the approximate rundown for who and what was mentioned during Tuesday night’s Fox broadcast of the 2014 Major League Baseball All-Star Game:
Derek Jeter: 100 times (and here they all are).
“Gotham”: 47 times.
Pepsi, now with “real” sugar (which, as I see it, is a frightening realization over what we were drinking before): 17 times.
The late Tony Gwynn: Zero.
Bravo, Fox.
What a complete embarrassment. So focused and one-minded were Fox producers on bringing the calm eyes of the retiring Derek Jeter - playing in his final All-Star Game - into your living room that not once, really, not once, did they bring up the untimely death last month of one of the best hitters to ever play the game, a 15-time All-Star himself. Bud Selig got his two minutes with Ken Rosenthal, and the outgoing commissioner would like you to forget how he ignored steroids and that he’s really sorry for canceling the World Series in 1994 and all, but he’s pleased to have what he called “22 years of labor peace” under his belt.
No Gwynn.
Meanwhile, in the booth, Harold Reynolds couldn’t take his lips off Jeter’s behind for one second to mention the former Padres outfielder? Hell, Reynolds played in the same All-Star Game with Gwynn in 1987. That didn't have any relevance?
Fox was so caught up in Jeter-mania, product placement, and who was going to win that new car with the MVP Award that eventually Gwynn’s absence was glaring and marred the abhorrent coverage of the game. The lone acknowledgement came from Baltimore’s Adam Jones, who had Gwynn’s initials and number etched on his hat. Fox’s Rosenthal Tweeted out the photo.

Amazingly.
Think the Padres are upset? At 1:07 a.m., about 90 minutes after the American League beat the National League, 5-3, Gwynn’s former team sent out the following, cryptic message:
<iframe id="twitter-widget-1" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" class="twitter-tweet twitter-tweet-rendered" title="Embedded Tweet" height="474" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; border-width: 1px; border-style: solid; border-color: rgb(238, 238, 238) rgb(221, 221, 221) rgb(187, 187, 187); outline: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); font-family: effra, Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, sans-serif; line-height: 16.00299835205078px; display: block; max-width: 99%; min-width: 220px; border-top-left-radius: 5px; border-top-right-radius: 5px; border-bottom-right-radius: 5px; border-bottom-left-radius: 5px; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.14902) 0px 1px 3px; position: static; visibility: visible; width: 500px; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-size: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial;"></iframe>Padres pitcher Huston Street was the team’s lone representative. He didn't make it into the game. Nor did the patch he and his teammates are wearing this season in honor of Gwynn.
"Obviously Tony Gwynn's a huge part of the game and it would've been something cool to see but it didn't happen," Street told Yahoo Sports. "I've been at six other ballparks around the league where they've done one. I don't think there's any short of remembrance for Tony.”
Former Yankees owner George Steinbrenner died on the DAY of the All-Star Game in 2010, and he got a moment of silence that night. Gwynn, who died on June 16? Not a peep.
There had to be some direct order, right? How does Fox go three-plus hours without breathing word of one of the sport’s most devastating losses this season? If it’s because the use of smokeless tobacco, the cause of the cancer that cost Gywnn his life, is on the table for the next collective bargaining agreement, then shame on everybody; baseball for allowing a controversial issue to butt its way into showing honor and respect where it’s deserved, and for Fox for kowtowing to such ridiculous directive. If it was simply an oversight, well we hope all the Jeter pre-planning meetings were worth it.
As the game wore on, you figured something, anything was coming. A seventh-inning moment of silence? Nope, sorry, country music “star” Joe Nichols will slaughter “God Bless America” instead. Maybe Erin Andrews would add something of substance? Ha. Have fun with that, NFL. Street could get into the game, and the conversation in the booth might shift from MVP talk to Gwynn. Didn’t happen. Maybe that will be Fox’s lame excuse in the end.
And so, Major League Baseball and Fox bade an All-Star farewell to one of its greatest players by stomping on the memory of another one of its greatest players.
It was a complete lack of respect on a night sold on re2pect.

 

[SIGO]

Every major athlete coming up should model the way they live their lives and play their games after Jeter's career. All class, no scandal, great playing.

Don't get married and bang lots of models?

 

[twinkie13]
