Where's Ubaldo?

More evidence Mike Singletary is insane

2008-10-30T16:12:00.000-05:00

Insane in a good way though. In his head coaching debut, Singletary told a first round pick to head to the showers AND apparently pulled down his pants and mooned the team in the locker room at half time. After pulling down his pants he continued his halftime speech with his pants at his ankles.

You have to love this man. If Samurai Mike does not get this job, I will be surprised. What a debut!

Browns don't want attention

2008-10-26T11:23:00.002-05:00

A week after the Cleveland Browns suspended Kellen Winslow, they now take it back. It looks like they don't really want to fix the problem to me. Until they fess up to having dirty facilities, expect to see more staff infections in Cleveland.
MRSA anyone?

EliteXC closing doors. Thanks Kimbo!

2008-10-21T16:36:00.002-05:00

After a last second effort to save the company, Elite XC signed "phenom" Kimbo Slice. After that failed miserably after Kimbo lost to a replacement no one heard of well, that was the end of EliteXC. Wait, Kimbo didn't just lose he was demolished in 14 seconds. The face of the franchise out of it with a bloody mug.
Thank Seth Petruzelli also. (on right in both photos, think what you wish)

Larry Johnson is quite the gentleman

2008-10-20T17:16:00.002-05:00

Chiefs back Larry Johnson is in trouble for (allegedly) spitting his drink on a girl in a nightclub. This is the 4th time that Johnson has had run ins with ladies. Last month Larry Johnson was charged with simple assault (whatever that is) for pushing the side of a woman's face. I am not trying to defend the man but how is that a crime? Troy, I think the world is becoming pansy not the NFL.

Sexual assault material?

Devin Hester really does have superpowers

2008-10-19T11:17:00.003-05:00

As I was playing Madden 09 this happened:

He did a hurdle and hurdled again while still in mid air. Devin Hester, you are ridiculous!

Pansy comment... where's the fine?

2008-10-17T10:37:00.004-05:00

After Troy Polamalu let his feelings be heard yesterday, Goodell rebutted today. Surprisingly he did not through down a fine. I see how it is. Make a comment about how you disagree with a ref, and get a fine slapped on you. Make a comment regarding the integrity of the game and get away scotch free. Makes a lot of sense.

Worst... Soccer Miss... Ever

2008-10-16T20:15:00.002-05:00

Watch and be amazed.

How do you not feel bad for this man. I don't know the outcome but just imagine if his team lost. He would be getting millions of death threats. On the other hand. Sign me up!!! I can make that shot.

Reading books at a baseball game?

2008-10-15T18:23:00.002-05:00

Last night as I was watching the Rays demolish the Red Sox, TBS showed a shot of Stephen King. He was reading a book at a baseball game.
It is OK here though because the Red Sox were getting blown out. Reading a book is better than leaving the stadium altogether, I guess.

Tony Romo is a baby

2008-10-14T16:57:00.004-05:00

Division 2 college football lineman, Trevor Wikre, has had his pinkie finger amputated because it was shattered. The Senior didn't want his season to end. Tony Romo also has a broken pinkie finger. So... why isn't it amputated Tony? Where's the heart? Where is the desire to play? This all shows what Hollywood does to people. All kidding aside, is this kid insane? I am sure that the NCAA would grant him another year because of his medical condition.

This drunk story makes it too easy

2008-10-13T14:55:00.006-05:00

Chinese ping-pong player Wang Hao got into a fight with a security guard after urinating outside a karaoke club. I give you a minute to come up with out all the possible titles including Wang and peeing. Not only does the story provide many great titles he also provided a great quote, "I do not need excuses. I am the famous Wang Hao! I am the world champion! Does it matter if I beat you?". Only hours later did the self proclaimed greatest in the world go down in a tounament.

Florida school enforces Floridians hatred of baseball

2008-10-09T17:04:00.003-05:00

A middle schooler in Florida has been suspended for "offensive hair". This is his hair style:
His hairdo is in support of the Rays.

That hairdo is not offensive, but a team with one of the best records in the league pulls only a few thousand to late season games is offensive. Where are all of their fans? Playing golf? Cleaning their dentures? Come on!

Save the champagne!

2008-10-08T17:42:00.002-05:00

It is ridiculous how much champagne is wasted during celebrations in the MLB. They pop champagne for clinching, LDS, LCS, and World Series. I can understand it for the World Series but really? Celebrate getting in to the playoffs only to be swept and out of the playoffs 4 days later makes it all the more funny. This epidemic is getting out of hand. Think of how many bum's days they could brighten up with all of this.

We won the wildcard! Let's celebrate!

Interesting way of taking the heavyweight title

2008-10-06T19:22:00.002-05:00

At the press conference for Samuel Peter and Vitali Klitschko, Peter literally walked away with Klitschko's title.
Peter was visibly upset because he couldn't understand German so he left... with the belt. This was most likely a show to gain interest in the fight but it is unique none the less.

Talk about a comeback/collapse of epic proportions

2008-10-05T17:46:00.002-05:00

This is one of the best 2 minute 10 second drills of recent memory. The Colts came back to beat the Texans because of 21 points in the span of 2:10. Matt Schaub's back-up, Sage Rosenfels, aided the Colts by fumbling twice and throwing a pick. I would be easy for me to slam the back-up here but they had the lead with about two minutes left. Why is the back-up QB still scrambling? You have to blame the playcalling. Just pound the ball and don't let the back-up determine the game.

Gotsta Hate It: Frank TV

2008-10-04T14:39:00.003-05:00

If you have watched any amount of playoff baseball on TBS you know where I'm coming from. Frank TV needs to go away. I don't think that there is a commercial on TBS that is not a Frank TV commercial. Within the last day, I have seen 50 Frank TV commercials and that is not a stretch. I don't know about you but I want to watch it less after seeing those commercials over and over.

I do have to admit he does a mean Charles Barkley and Jim Rome though.

This header is bad but it had to be done

2008-10-01T20:25:00.001-05:00

You may notice a new look to the top of the page. I could stand it no longer. Quote from Deadspin comments

"I'm as tech savvy as John McCain, but Christ, did the guy who runs this site use MS Paint from Windows 95 to make his header? It almost makes me want to cut my eyes with a rusty knife, or trombone."

That pretty much says it all.

Breaking News: Bengals don't care about image

2008-09-30T21:54:00.003-05:00

After resigning Chris Henry after cutting him for behavioral problems earlier, the Bengals have added yet another troublemaker to their arsenal. The Bengals have sign Cedric Benson. Yes, the highly underachieving Cedric Benson. Yes, the boating while intoxicated (allegedly) Cedric Benson.

Stay classy Cincy!

Are the Raiders kidding me? 76 yard field goal?

2008-09-29T16:48:00.000-05:00

With Lane Kiffin hanging on to his job by a thread, he made an idiotic move. He decided to put his kicker Sebastian Janikowski out there to try a 76 yard field goal.

Janikowski has a big boot but this is just stupid. He was 20 yards short of making it. There is a much better chance of throwing a bomb with Russell and scoring a touchdown than making this. If anyone knows something I don't, please tell me.

Greatest football catch ever

2008-09-26T19:55:00.003-05:00

This catch by Edwin Baptiste is the greatest football catch ever made. No doubt about it. There is no need for a top 10 list because this one would top it. Simply amazing.

There are no words to explain this catch. Parallel to the ground, one handed with his fingertips, tucks the ball, and finishes of with a somersault. WOW! Just wow.

Sheff is a thug

2008-09-24T15:53:00.000-05:00

After getting pounded on the head a few times by Fausto Carmona, Gary Sheffield has vowed revenge on all who hurt him during the Tigers-Indians brawl (roid rage?). Not only has he vowed revenge, he will get his revenge on or of the field. Sheff is going to all measures to get back for something that wasn't even intentional. Grow up Sheff!

Hell has begun to freeze

2008-09-22T15:56:00.003-05:00

There wasn't one soul in America (or the world) that picked the Dolphins to top the Patriots this weekend. If you did then you are lying. We knew that they would be worse without Tom Brady but no one expected this beat-down. 38-13. 38-13! A team that only won one game last year.

Hell will be completely frozen if the Cubs win the World Series, but that still would be less shocking than this.

Michael Beasley's nose is growing

2008-09-18T17:33:00.004-05:00

After saying before the draft that he no longer had any character issues, it seems that he still does. Beasley has been fined $50,000 by the NBA for the incident including Darrell Arthur and Mario Chalmers. Arthur and Chalmers were fined 20K a piece. To say that you have no character issues and partake in a party with weed and girls (who shouldn't have been there) is ludicrous.

Beasley shows us where he hides his secret stash.

Carson Palmer is killing my fantasy team

2008-09-15T16:13:00.002-05:00

Last few years Palmer has been a stud and I benefitted from that. Now, he is single handedly destroying my team. He gotten a total of 4 points in 2 weeks. Did I mention he was playing the Titans? Ridiculous. This can't be just me. I may just have to pick up Matt Cassel.

Those guys are good. Or maybe I just suck.

Near record day for MLB rainouts

2008-09-13T14:56:00.004-05:00

Yesterday there were 6 rainouts or drizzle outs (Tigers-White Sox) in the MLB. I found this to be amazing amount. Obviously Hurricane Ike played a role in that number. Does anyone know the record on this. The 6 postponements are second to April 12, 1997 when there were 8 games that were postponed.

Gotsta Love It: This Olympic swimming trial

2008-09-11T20:16:00.003-05:00

I heard of this during the 2008 Olympics and I thought I would never find the video. Well I did.

When there are only 3 men in a race and 2 of them get disqualified, well you are left with 1 guy racing himself. That by itself is a sight to be seen. But when he comes from a country without an adequate pool, then it is one man racing against himself and hardly finishing.

Do they have lifeguards at the Olympics? That may seem like a stupid question but you never see them. They must assume that the participants can swim.
