I still haven’t found the jerk that signed me up for ESPN the Magazine without my knowledge, but I don’t pay a cent and nor am I ever going to so if those suckers in Bristol want to keep sending me their rag for free then I am not going to stop them. I need fire starter for the fireplace anyway.

However, I am not so quick to burn the latest issue considering they have a hefty article and photo display on Stephen Strasburg and Drew Storen. ESPN has named Strasburg #4 on their small list of the NEXT big sports stars who are on the cusp of Godhood.

Also on the list is Kevin Durant, Chris Johnson, John Wall and Melanie Oudin, but they play other sports and therefore are insignificant. Strasburg is the real jewel here and this mag has him all over it. Jesus, Buster Olney must be pissed. Now he has to sit on some crapper at ESPN HQ with mag in hand and see nothing but Curly W’s and his own organization praising the team from D.C. Seriously, Strasburg is the first real thing you see in this issue once you get past the ultra-queer cologne ad, an ad for something called SNiPP and McDonalds Mocha Chocolate Hot Chocolate chocolate concoction. BAM! There’s Stephen right there on page five, the table of contents wearing a crisp home Nationals uniform. #37– BA-BA-BAMM!

Hot shot reliever Drew Storen refers to Strasburg as “LeBron James” which Strasburg humbly shrugs off. These two guys by themselves make us beg for the 2010 season.

Get the December issue of ESPN the Magazine pretty much anywhere magazines are sold or pay to become what they call an “Insider” and read the article here.

Or you could find some jackass to sign you up for a free subscription. It worked for me.
