Papelbon Is Ath-a-letic
Amid their fantastically awful broadcasting, and their repeated and weird attempts to be ‘hip with the kids’ by Twittering, the FOX crew managed to produce this gem of a video below before Saturday’s game — inviting everyone to get to know Jonathan Papelbon. I think most Sox fans have come to learn that the less you know about what goes on inside Papelbon’s head, the better — but here’s what we all learned:
2. Tim Wakefield “got a little pissed off” at Papelbon for his bragging about said ability to hit a long bomb off of Wake.
3. He is “an ath-a-lete”.
4. In order to get ready to do the Papelstare, he needs Red Bull, coffee, and “some other things”. It is left to your imagination what those “other things” might be.
5. St. Lucia? LIVING HELL.
6. Dustin Pedroia is short. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.
Oh, and #7: No one should every take anything that Jonathan Papelbon says as being serious.
Although the shit-eating grin he gives to Yankees fans is pretty fantastic.
I loved watching this yesterday. It made me want to see him bat against Becks.
I live in the south, so I am all too familiar with “Ath-A-letes”.
Hey Texy, a few games ago (I think it was in a game thread) some of us got to talking about the epic video of Papelbon and Beckett about spelling. You said you still had the video and would post it. I was just wondering if you were still going to do that?
i think you need to see the comcast sports night interview where papelbon describes josh beckett as anal retentive and jason varitek smells… priceless
Second request for the Papelbon spelling video. I did a search and found it, but was unable to watch it (it teased me by showing it, then saying it was a “private” video). And then posted a comment on a page from 2007 (eyeroll).
This was the beauty of the Friendly’s Scoops that he used to do before they cancelled them. If you haven’t seen them, they are totally worth sitting down with a bucket of popcorn.
