The Manny Ramirez mood of the day is surprisingly reserved

Sometimes when Manny Ramirez is simply being “Manny” there are no shenanigans or tomfoolery or high jinks involved on his part. Sometimes Manny is literally just being Manny and zaniness occurs around him. Like when the Red Sox went to Seattle to play the Mariners and Man-Ram got a post game lecturing from a cop.

Seems that Boston slugger Manny Ramirez was leaving the ballpark, with headphones on trying to look inconspicuous and quickly get away from the crowds still leaving the stadium. He started to cross South Royal Brougham Way, against the signals of a traffic cop who was directing pedestrians. The police officer demanded that Ramirez open his wallet and show identification. He warned him that he could face a $500 fine and possible arrest for disobeying a police officer.

It became clear to those watching that the policeman had no idea who Ramirez was. He didn’t ask for an autograph or anything, but did ask Ramirez if he’d attended the game. After the brief lecture, and no argument from Ramirez, the police officer let him go with no further trouble.

Wow, Ramirez really is learning to take the high road and curb his behaviors. We thought for sure the incident would get a “Do you know who I am?” outta Manny or at the very least he would have run away and tried to hide inside the nearest wall.

Frustration or celebration? Either way, a cop got beaned with a football

Appalachian State won their third NCAA Division I Championship over the weekend and kudos to them for doing so, but what we’re going to remember from the game wasn’t the accomplishment or the premature rushing the field by the crowd or their eventual celebration. Nope, what’s going to stick with us about this blowout is when Delaware returned a punt all the way to the house in the waning minutes of the fourth, capping off the touchdown by pelting a cop with the ball!

Oh, man; we almost saw a physical altercation between the two. It couldn’t have topped the Donald vs. Shasta battle we saw earlier in the year, but it would have been entertaining.
