It can't be. It just can't be. The greatest British, soccer-themed news parody show featuring puppets is done after just over a year on the air. "I'm On Setanta Sports" is no more. This weekend, there will be no more Special One. No more "It" and no more me trying ...

As I'm sure you've heard, yesterday baseball's all-time saves leader agreed to a deal with the Milwaukee Brewers, officially ending his 16-year tenure with the San Diego Padres. As a lifelong Padres fan, I'm not happy. In fact, I'm the opposite of happy.
