During last night's All-Star Game, Joe Buck was interviewing Yogi Berra in the booth and Yogi started complaining about all the photo ops he had to do. Buck asked him about Sarah Jessica Parker and Yogi responded, "She's not bad." Which is a compliment, when you consider that she is very very bad.
While this may seem like a nonchalant jab, it is clearly a payback for a problem Yogi had with the Sex and the City wenches back in 2005. According to TheSmokingGun:
JANUARY 31--Claiming that his good name has been sullied by a "Sex and the City" advertisement, baseball legend Yogi Berra has sued Turner Broadcasting System for $10 million.
In the below New York State Supreme Court complaint, Berra, 79, contends that TBS improperly used his name in outdoor ads (on buses and subway kiosks) promoting the cable channel's reruns of the racy HBO show starring Sarah Jessica Parker.
Noting that he is a married grandfather and a "deeply religious man who has maintained and continues to maintain a moral lifestyle," the former New York Yankee claims that he has been tainted by the ad, which references the loose lifestyle of "Sex" character Samantha, portrayed by Kim Cattrall.
The offensive ads, Berra reported, sought the definition of the term "Yogasm." One of the possible definitions listed in the ad was, "b) sex with Yogi Berra." The correct answer was "c) what Samantha has with a guy from yoga class."
I would've liked to have seen the "deeply religious" Yogi walking down the street and seeing an ad for a show he's never heard of featuring four whores talking about having sex with him. Did he immediately start asking people on the street questions like, "Why are those harlots talking about having sex with me?" and "What's Yoga?" and "Is that one a man?" or if he waited until he got home to ask those questions.

Leave it to Joe Buck to ask a question completely irrelevant to the All-Star Game and baseball in general. Yogi's done it all and seen it all in baseball and they are at Yankee Stadium where he won a ton of championships and also managed some teams, and what do they do? They ask him about Sex & The City.

Good fucking job, Joe Buck.
