Funny Nation Dumbfounded As To Why Little-Leaguer's Favorite Player Is Chipper Jones
(Submitted April 30, 2009)
As information continues to surface about Keefer's odd choice of baseball hero, the nation was shocked to learn that Keefer not only has posters of Chipper Jones hanging in his bedroom, but also Chipper Jones baseball cards, which he makes a point of refusing to trade to his friends.

That kid is 12!?! I don't believe it! He looks like he's at least 16. Anyways, seriously, why do people have to question this kid? If he says his favorite player is Chipper then, damnit, it's Chipper! I don't see what people are shaking their heads at, Chipper is very lovable and a couple years ago he was in my top five favorites. Personally, what is there not to like about Chipper? I am speechless at the reactions of the people who were interviewed for this article. How dare they shoot down a 12-year old like this..mocking him and his personal choice. People these days...

Oh, and I like what the last quote of the article says:

"I'm from Atlanta, and I don't even understand it. Don't get me wrong, Chipper Jones is a good ball player, maybe even a Hall of Famer. He led our team to a World Series, and might be one of the top three switch-hitters in the history of the game. But he's Chipper Jones, you know?"

No, I'm sorry, I don't "know" what you're talking about. Why are you shocked that a 12-year old is a fan of a future Hall of Famer and one of the best switch hitters of all-time

Mine must be broken. Actually I have a pretty good excuse for my stupidity (I was half asleep trying to avoid my homework).

Packers 27, Ravens 14. It wasn't pretty: 310 total penalty yards and 7 total turnovers, but the Packers stay alive in the NFC Wild Card race.
