Former Tampa Bay Prospect Arrested With Six Pounds of Cocaine At JFK
Cristian Vasquez Martinez, a former Tampa Bay Rays’ prospect was caught trying to smuggle 6 pounds of cocaine through JFK airport. Martinez landed in JFK from the Dominican Republic. He was randomly searched and authorities found 6 pounds of cocaine hidden in four pairs of sneakers in his luggage. The value of those shoes was $138,000. Martinez’s contract with the Rays was apparently terminated last month.
In case you were wondering, this is what he thought he was going to be like…
Alas, Martinez was not whisked away to meet El Patrón.

Saw it on the news–very cool.

The dude on the most recent episode was doing it for a full fucking year before he finally got caught, fucking crazy. I wouldn’t be able to do that shit, I would get high anxiety and start sweating profusely going through customs and the security checks.

Eh, much like Cleveland, Kansas City is used to getting bashed. My personal stance on the NBA angle is that KC will not support a NBA team. Why?
1. College hoops mecca in this area. You will not get KU/MU/KSU/WSU season ticket holders to buy season tickets. Maybe the superrich, but that is a small number.
2. This is a Chiefs town. Yeah, the Chiefs suck, but they still sell out.
3. The whole NBA/NHL was fabricated by politicians that wanted to put the Sprint Center and Power and Light District downtown. The Sprint Center tax probably would have passed (taxing car rentals on out of town visitors.) I doubt the P&L tax would have passed. BTW, Kansas City covers ~$2 million dollars each year because it underperforms.
That column was poorly written and the author got assinated yesterday on talk radio in KC.

Each word in this sentence was more entertaining than the previous.

I kind of agree with you… but at the same time… wasn’t part of the article critiquing KC’s inferiority complex? Kind of sounds like KCer’s have it, given the reaction. I’ve never been there though, so I’m not really sure if I can comment on that.

KC.. your thoughts on the Grantland piece on Kansas City?
My more succint answer would be that I was surprised this was even a topic that Grantland would cover. There are some truths in it, however poorly written, but I doubt anyone outside of this area even cared.
July 8th, 2011 at 4:35 PM
The author of that article lost a lot of his cred with me when he mentioned he went to Mizzou but was a Jayhawk fan. Isn’t that sacrilege?

Read that Greg Hall link. That is one of the truth’s in the article. KC does have an inferiority complex. Most of it is due to not being Chicago, St. Louis or Dallas. He got the answer correct, but didn’t get to that conclusion correctly.

Some of the comments I’ve read about this is thst this episodes points to the fact that it is impossible to hate Bono…I know he has a bad rep with many folks, but this is still extremely cool.

Yes, but Mizzou’s J-School is tits I guess. Ask Lisk. He was more concerned with getting a big job than adhering to his Kansas roots. As one of my co-worker’s told me, “If you were paid twice as more to work at MU than KU, you’d switch jobs in a heartbeat.” Of course I would. Doesn’t mean I wouldn’t take random dumps all over Columbia’s sidewalks.
July 8th, 2011 at 4:39 PM

I don’ hate him as much as a lot of people. I do find him jetting around on a G6 while promoting energy efficiency and fighting world hunger and at the same time spending $39 million on the stage he performs on for this tour to be a “tad” hypocritical. I guess they were all out of $5 Million dollar stages.

I did. Fucking awesome. Much better than the second episode. I hope this show has legs.
July 8th, 2011 at 4:41 PM
I think it does. It is god damn brilliant. The chemistry between those two is pretty clear. I laugh just as much during that little 2 minute outtake at the end of the episodes.
July 8th, 2011 at 4:41 PM
I remember seeing the 60 minutes piece on them a while back and they did not make apologies for living the good life in the South of France (or wherever it was) and they didn’t think it was inconsistent with still trying to do good in the world.
July 8th, 2011 at 4:47 PM
Of course they wouldn’t. Classic do as I say, not as I do syndrome.
