You know, sometimes I forget how incredibly funny and witty Denis Leary can be, but the video I placed after the jump was a nice reminder. Heck, If they had Leary doing baseball commentary all the time I might actually start tuning in to the games. He and fellow Rescue Me actor Lenny Clarke were guests at a Red Sox game when Leary suddenly realized that player Kevin Youkilis was Jewish, which led him into a hilarious rant about Mel Gibson, rehab, and whatever suddenly popped into his head. If you want to hear Leary make references to Braveheart, Sandy Colfax Koufax and Jeffrey Katzenberg all in the space of about three minutes, then check out the video after the jump. This is actually a longer version than what I was originally going to link to, but the shorter version was actually removed in the middle of me writing this post. Damn, that's annoying. We'll see how long this one stays up.
