I play real sports. Not tryin' to be the best at exercising.

Due to my mortgage, I gave up premium cable about a year ago. Sad. So, I'm late to the table when it comes to Eastbound & Down, which Puppy and I started watching recently.

If you're not familiar with the series, HBO describes the show thusly:

Relief Pitcher Kenny Powers was poised to rule the Big Leagues, but two things got in the way: his fading fastball and his insufferable personality. After a spectacular career flame-out, Kenny came home to Shelby County, NC and picked up a job as a substitute gym teacher (mostly so his brother Dustin would stop threatening to kick him out). He's spent every moment since then cashing in the last of his dying fame while plotting his inevitable comeback... one beer at a time.

And it. Is. HILARIOUS! I'm only two episodes in, but I'm totally hooked! The things that come out of his mouth. Sheesh!
