Michael Phelps got dropped by Kellogg’s as a sponsor recently. That seems fairly dumb because, well, what he did wasn’t that big a deal in the grand scheme of things. And, given recent national events, (A-Rod namely) it’s going to blow over pretty quickly. Which may be why Seth Meyers, a notorious defender of people that smoke the cheeb, came to his defense in an SNL “Really” skit on Saturday night.

Of course, as Ufford noted, this would be tremendously better if the always foxy Amy Poehler was involved, but props to Meyers for pointing out that Kellogg’s is basically run by potheads*.

*I don’t actually believe that. but it would be awesome.

If the Cubs have done nothing else this postseason (besides ripping their fans hearts in half and discarding them in the nearest trash recepticle) it’s given comedy shows easy fodder. “The Daily Show” went after them earlier in the week. And, last night, during NBC’s Thursday edition of “Weekend Update” — which I’m really digging they are doing for the next few weeks, by the way — they did a sketch of the town hall Presidential debate. And Bill Murray was in the audience to ask a question. About the Cubs. Comedy gold!

Bill Murray: still bringing the heat after all these years.

So, Yankee Stadium closed its baseball doors for good last evening, as the Yanks beat the Orioles 7-3. (Derek Jeter got the last at-bat for the home squad, natch.)

But before the hallowed doors swung closed, Martin Scorsese and Rosie Perez got to recall stories and say their final goodbyes.

Meatball baseball is pretty much the best.
