Tim Tebow, former Florida QB, is basically the greatest human being to walk on Earth. Big, strong, handsome quarterback who just leads his team to wins. He isn't projected to be great in the NFL, because of some mechanical issues with throwing and his style of play. He's very religious. Many people love him, but because he is portrayed as godly by the media, many people also hate him.
So anyway, Tebow and other NFL prospects were about to take the Wonderlic exam at the combine when Tebow decided to ask everyone to join him in a prayer. He was promptly interrupted by a "STFU", followed by laughter in the room. ZOMG, right? I don't feel bad for him though, because if he expected these immature, probably non-religious athletes to follow him in prayer and not make fun of him then he is an idiot. I don't think Tebow is a smart guy. In fact, his Wonerlic score was pretty low. So I'm gonna go ahead and take a guess as to what his prayer would have said:
Dear God,
Me and my friends are here to take a test,
please help us do better than the rest,
Since a grade of 24 is an average score,
I'm asking for a solid 25 or more,
And please help us become NFL leaders,
Although we ain't such good Wonderlic readers,
Do the right thing and help me again,
So I can be a star, Amen.
Don't you just hate him already? Man, I do.

The Dan Patrick Show was promoting the new movie coming out, "Hot Tub Time Machine", and they were thinking of times in sports history where you'd want to go relive if you had a time machine. My top 5 moments and honorable mentions:
HM: Ali-Frazier at Madison Square Garden, Ali-Foreman. I would have liked to go because they were such important sporting events, but they don't make the top 5 because boxing is just not that big of a sport to me.
1936 Olympics, and any Abraham Lincoln wrestling match also make the list.
5. 1980 Olympic Hockey game. USA defeats the Soviet Union in what is regarded as the biggest upset in sports history. The professionals and the hockey powerhouse in the USSR defeated by a bunch of amateurs from the US who go on to win the gold.
4. Tiger Woods first Masters win in 1997. I'd go, watch him win, then have an intervention afterwards. Of course to get to him I'd have to dress up as a tall blonde with big breasts and a fat ass but whatever.
3. Lou Gehrig's retirement speech. "..today...I consider myself...the luckiest man on the face of the earth." Musta been crazy to be there at that time in Yankee stadium.
2. Wilt Chamberlain's 100 point game. We'll never see anything like that again, so I guess it would be cool to watch it happen live, right? Especially since we don't have any footage of the game now.
1b. Giants-Patriots, Superbowl XLII. I know it happened recently, but I could relive this moment anytime. My favorite football team beating my least favorite team in the biggest game, with the Giants being huge underdogs and coming back to win it.
1a. Michael Jordan's "final shot". 1998 against the Jazz. I just want to see him play again in his prime. Too young to watch and appreciate at the time.
Where/when would you go if you had a hot tub time machine? It doesn't have to be a sporting event..and try to follow the rule that you can't change anything. i.e. don't say, I wanna go back and put all my money into Apple, or I want to go back and invent mousepads, or I want to go back and abort Hitler's mom.
Phil Hughes is the Yankees 5th Starter. I don't know if the Yankees are making the right decision here. For years, they've implemented the "Joba Rules" so that Joba Chamberlain would not be worn out in his early years, so that this year he could finally become a starting pitcher and take on a regular starters' workload. I don't get it. They limited Joba so much to the point that people made fun of the Yankees, and now they don't even make him the starter? They give it to Hughes? Don't they now have to worry about making Hughes pitch too many innings? Are we going to have a "Hughes Rules" (or a "Phil-osophy")? The Yankees have mishandled this situation and if it doesn't work out, I will never forgive them for one whole year. *GASP*
The Sweet 16 begins tonight. I'm rooting for Cornell the rest of the way. Cornell beating Kentucky tonight would be awesome. I've summoned my buddy Franklin (AD) to break down the teams.
Ok guys. First of all, it ain't easy being white and it ain't easy being brown. Now, let's break down the teams:
Kentucky, big time coach, big time players- many of which are going to the NBA after this.
Cornell, 8 seniors on the team, next year they will be rebuilding, everyone on the team is going to graduate, and they will go on to do great things. The entire team lives together in a house off-campus (gay?), they are true teammates and friends, they will not go to the NBA.
Kentucky, kids from the ghetto looking to get rich. Had single mothers who were probably strippers.
Cornell, kids who probably had lots of advantages growing up, well-off parents who gave them everything they needed.
Kentucky, kids with one or no parents who didn't receive child support and had to work hard at the local street parks. Probably sold drugs to make ends meet.
Cornell, kids who got to play in leagues and gyms from the time they were born. They will try valiantly to keep the black man down.
Let's go Kentucky!..wait, I mean let's go Cornell!
uh..thanks Franklin.

My bracket officially is dead. I have a gift of writing terrible predictions that will not happen. To restore some credibility to my sports knowledge, I am only making conservative forecasts from now on.
- By April 2010, we will have an NCAA tournament Champion.
- The New York Knicks will NOT make the playoffs this year.
- The 2010 World Cup will be won by a team from South America, Europe, or Asia.
There must be some kind of psychological theory that explains jinxes and superstitions. Why do people, especially sports fans, believe in this stuff? I am definitely guilty of this. At times, when watching a close game, I won't move in my chair for a long time. I'll clench my fists until my hands start sweating. I'll rock back and forth in my chair. I'll try not to blink. I'll start announcing each players name as they come up. I'll take a sip of my drink every time something good happens. Sometimes, I'll even hit the TV screen where the opposing players are and gently stroke where the good guys are....I am retarded. Obviously I KNOW that I will not change anything. But I do it anyway. Aren't we all a little crazy? What makes YOU crazy?
Like I said, my bracket is done, with Kansas (my national champion) being stunned by Northern Iowa last night. There were plenty of upsets already in the tournament. If by now, you don't think it's all luck, here's yet another stat for you:
The first day of the tournament was Thursday, where they played just HALF of the 1st round. Out of 3 million brackets filled out on one site, there were only 20 perfect brackets left. 20/3000000. After just half of the 1st round.
This is why anyone can win a bracket pool. Because the more you know, the less you really know. That's what is good and bad about the NCAA basketball tournament.
With Kansas losing, it gave many teams hope to be able to win the whole thing. Because the big guns like Kentucky, Syracuse, and West Virginia were scared of Kansas...they aren't scared of Northern Iowa. The middle of the pack schools like Baylor, Butler, and Tennessee suddenly become in the contenders mix.
What is better for the tournament, the big upsets or the higher seeds advancing? We all love the Cinderella story, but they ruin our brackets. Does the casual fan continue to care if their bracket is dead? And do we really want a Final 4 with some crappy, lower seeded teams? Personally, I'd rather watch Kentucky vs. Kansas than New Mexico vs. Butler.
On a side note, Syracuse and Kentucky are looking real good...but I won't make any predictions.
Tiger Woods announced he's officially coming back for the Masters, starting in early April. Is he the favorite to win it? There is so much uncertainty about where his golf game is, but if you had to gamble on one guy to win it, isn't it still him?
In other news, his text messages to one of his mistresses (a porn star) was released. And they are dirrrty. EXTREMELY dirty. You will never look at him the same way again. Some pieces of the transcript below:
Tiger:Sent: 03:32 PM 08/29/2009:
I have no idea. I would love to have the ability to make you sore
Tiger:Sent: 03:35 PM 08/29/2009:
In a week. I will try to wear you out
Tiger:Sent: 03:36 PM 08/29/2009:
After i cum you better start sucking my cock to get it hard
Tiger:Sent: 04:07 PM 08/29/2009:
You are my fucking whore
Tiger:Sent: 04:08 PM 08/29/2009:
Hold you down while i choke you and Fuck that ass that i own
Tiger:Sent: 04:10 PM 08/29/2009:
Then im going to tell you to shut the Fuck up while i slap your face and pull your hair for making noise
Tiger:Sent: 05:26 PM 08/29/2009:
Next time i see you, you better beg and if you don't do it right i will slap, spank, bite and fuck you till mercy
I was definitely a little surprised initially. Not because he was "fucking the ass that he owns", or "choking the whore", but rather because he was stupid enough to think that these messages could never be released to the public. I also didn't expect him to be so graphic. DAMN, they are graphic. Even for the internet.
It brought up a question in my mind: Were people always so sexually kinky throughout the history of time?
You might think that with the advancement of the internet and the progression of porn, people started to get bored with the regular stuff and starting inventing new ways to get down. New fetishes were created, things relating to anal, poop, pee, animals, insects, etc.
But maybe these things were done way before the internet, right? It is possible. Because the internet brought about TWO very important things for those crazy fools: an outlet to talk about weird stuff they like, and anonymity when talking about it. So who knows, maybe George Washington was just like Tiger Woods...we would never know. I'm sure cavemen/women didn't get it right the first few times.
The Minnesota Twins All-Star closer Joe Nathan will miss the season with an elbow injury. This is a major loss for them, and could kill their playoff chances this year. This usually wouldn't be blog-worthy, but I'm just excited about baseball season.
That's all for now!

Bracket Knowledge
As promised, here are some helpful hints on how to fill out your NCAA bracket and become the Champion of your office or school.
1. You suck. Understand that you suck. You will not have a perfect bracket. Even if you watched every college basketball game of all time, studied the history of basketball, knew every team's weaknesses and strengths, got close to every coach and player and their families, and became God of the Universe, you will not have a perfect bracket. Odds of perfection is 9,223,372,036,854,775,808 to 1. If every person on earth filled out 10 million different brackets each, the odds are less than 1% that just one person will have a perfect bracket. (I did not do any of that math, I copy-and-pasted that crap from another website)
The fun about March Madness is that the casual or even non-sports fan can easily defeat the sports-aficionado with their version of the bracket. It is mostly LUCK-BASED. If you see some douche like myself say they know everything and they are going to win the pool, in reality it is likely that they will lose to a geeky Joe Schmo, or even worse...a girl. *gasp*
2. Once you figure out that you are an idiot, you are ready to pick.
3. So if you've never seen a bracket, it is split up into 4 sections with 16 teams each. Thus there are 4 #1 seeds, 4 #2 seeds, etc. A #1 seed has never lost in the first round. EVER. So obviously don't pick them to lose unless you are an idiot. (Of course according to my rules, you can't fill out a bracket until you are one so catch-22)
4. There is always a 12 seed over a 5 seed upset. This is almost always standard. You will hear this from anyone. Last year, we had all 5 seeds advancing for the first time in a very long time. This won't happen again. We WILL have a 12 over a 5 this year! That is a sportsdude101 Guarantee.
5. All four #1 seeds DO NOT make it to the final 4. Most of the time we have only 2 or 3 that make it to the final 4.
6. Pick some upsets. Everyone has a system of picking the upsets. Some people go by the players, some by the coaches, some by the basketball program's history, etc. These are the experts' ways. That's why they lose to their wives/girlfriends. Because they think they are so smart. They over analyze, and once you do that, you just confuse yourself more. The casual fan will pick by the school name, the school mascot, the school colors, and they will generally do much better.
7. When in doubt, go with the higher seed. Not sure about Texas and their stellar offense and how it will hold up against Wake Forest? Oh, what? You didn't even know the W in W Forest stood for 'Wake'? Go with the #8 over the #9. Trust that the committee who put this bracket together in this way knew what they were doing.
8. The better teams win out in the end. Sure we have some Cinderella teams in the beginning pulling some miracle upsets...but in the end, you will see the better teams win in the later rounds. In the past 21 years, we have not had a champion that was lower than a 4 seed. Most Final 4 teams are going to be 4 seed or higher.
Thoughts on this year: Duke did not deserve their #1 seed. I don't think they will make it out of their quarter of the bracket. However, Syracuse and Duke have a much easier road to make it out than Kansas and Kentucky do. Ohio State is very good, I think they will give Kansas a run for their money. West Virginia will definitely give Kentucky a good fight if they end up meeting in the Elite 8.
Pick a lot of #1 seeds and #2 seeds, I think they are all pretty strong this year. #8/#9 seeds are a coin toss for the first round. Stick to just one 12 over a 5, maybe Cornell over Temple? (though Temple is pretty good) Maybe one 13 over a 4, but only if you really like their Mascot or something. Picking a 6 seed to make it to the Sweet 16 may be a good idea, like Notre Dame or something.
My list of teams that can win the whole thing for this year are: Kansas, Ohio State, Kentucky, West Virginia, Syracuse, Villanova. I wouldn't be surprised if any of these teams win, and I would be surprised if any other team does, including Duke.
My Final 4 picks are Kansas, West Virginia, Syracuse, and Villanova. My final pick is Kansas over West Virginia in the finals, 74-70.
So..while filling out your brackets, as you see these weird schools that you've never heard of (Baylor?! I hardly know her!), remember my tips and you will succeed.
And if you choose to copy my picks, beware. I don't know anything.

Bang Bang
So God won the weekend again, making it rain very very hard throughout the east coast. Power lines were destroyed, trees falling, total destruction all over the place. We were the losers of the weekend, with any plans to do fun stuff probably canceled by the "2012"-esque weather.
Before I get to some sports stuff, I must admit my Oscar predictions were slightly off. Congratulations to Kathryn Bigelow and THL, I guess I'll watch it one day. On a side note, damn, all of my predictions are really sucking. I ain't a Nostradamus. My sports-related predictions should be better though..we'll see.
Those stupid NCAA Conference Tournaments are over, and tonight we finally got our BRACKETS! Schools all over the country hovered over their TV sets, some hoping they got in, some hoping they got a good seed, and all waiting to see who they will play in the first round.
Story time with Uncle Sportsdude101:
It was Spring 2009, and the greatest basketball team CMU ever had patiently waited for what could be the 2nd time in school history they made the Division III NCAA tournament. The announcement is made midday, and the athletic department goes crazy. "We've made it once before, but never got to win a game", says the whispers.
A week later, we're in Cleveland set to play Brockport State. Incredibly exciting game, tons of fans, electricity buzzing. And I'm there announcing the game for CMU radio. Close game throughout, and CMU wins a close one by a few points. At this point, this is already the most successful team ever at CMU. The next day, they play the host college in the second round, John Carroll University. CMU beat them earlier in the season on a buzzer-beater. This time, with 2 seconds to go...tie game...John Carroll's point guard takes the ball up...shoots over 3 CMU defenders...sinks the shot. Game Over. We wait for the players to come out of the gym, most of them in tears. For the seniors, this is the last organized game any of them are ever going to play. No one is going on to play professionally. These are the REAL student-athletes. Everybody congratulates them, though all of this small talk is certainly bitter-sweet for them.
This is what's great about the NCAA tournament. There are 65 teams that made it in Division I. Each team has a story and an entire University supporting them. The best part of the tournament isn't the Championship weekend, or even the final 4 weekend. It's the first weekend, when all the fans of all the teams are there cheering.
Manny Pacquiao easily rocked Clottey last night. Now can we get him to fight Mayweather so we can put to rest the argument of who is the best fighter in boxing?
Pacman > Mayweather.
Ladainian Tomlinson signed a 2 year deal with the Jets. I'm not sure how I'd feel about this if I were the Jets. They lose Thomas Jones, who I think has aged much better than LT, and they get another really old running back. If I'm LT, I would've signed with the Vikings. If the Vikings get Favre back and add LT, they are one of the favorites to win the NFC. The Jets kind of overachieved last season. They were 9-7 during the regular season. Even with their additions, they will once again compete in the stacked AFC. The Colts, Patriots, Dolphins, Ravens, Chargers, Steelers are all still very good. I think legit contenders in the NFC next year are probably the Saints, Packers, Cowboys, and Vikings if Favre comes back. I guess we'll see what happens.
Speaking of the Jets, Head Coach Rex Ryan underwent lap band surgery to remove some of his fatassity. Basically the surgery makes your stomach smaller, so you eat less, decreasing appetite, leading to weight loss. I'm not sure if it will help his 340 pound frame, but hopefully it will help him eat less than 7,000 calories a day. Maybe now he will not EAT his way out of the NFL. Perhaps now his midnight snack will NOT be rack of lamb. Maybe now he will NOT fall into the chocolate river at Wonka's Factory.
There was a charity event for Haiti that pitted Andre Agassi and Nadal vs. Pete Sampras and Federer. They were all mic'ed up, which turned out to be a bad idea. Agassi, if you guys didn't know, recently wrote a book about his druggie life while he was playing. He also talked about Sampras and how he was a very cheap tipper. Sampras and Agassi go at it in this video, and things get kinda awkward.
It seemed innocent at first, but you can see they got personal and it wasn't so nice afterwards.
There are conflicting reports out there on when Tiger will come back. Some people say as early as next week, some say 2 weeks, some say the Masters. I'm just glad this finally became a golf story. My prediction will be Tiger is coming back at the Arnold Palmer Invitational THIS WEEKEND. Of course, that means he is probably going to get hit by a bus after I publish this post.

Before I get to some sports stuff, I must admit my Oscar predictions were slightly off. Congratulations to Kathryn Bigelow and THL, I guess I'll watch it one day. On a side note, damn, all of my predictions are really sucking. I ain't a Nostradamus. My sports-related predictions should be better though..we'll see.
Those stupid NCAA Conference Tournaments are over, and tonight we finally got our BRACKETS! Schools all over the country hovered over their TV sets, some hoping they got in, some hoping they got a good seed, and all waiting to see who they will play in the first round.
Story time with Uncle Sportsdude101:
It was Spring 2009, and the greatest basketball team CMU ever had patiently waited for what could be the 2nd time in school history they made the Division III NCAA tournament. The announcement is made midday, and the athletic department goes crazy. "We've made it once before, but never got to win a game", says the whispers.
A week later, we're in Cleveland set to play Brockport State. Incredibly exciting game, tons of fans, electricity buzzing. And I'm there announcing the game for CMU radio. Close game throughout, and CMU wins a close one by a few points. At this point, this is already the most successful team ever at CMU. The next day, they play the host college in the second round, John Carroll University. CMU beat them earlier in the season on a buzzer-beater. This time, with 2 seconds to go...tie game...John Carroll's point guard takes the ball up...shoots over 3 CMU defenders...sinks the shot. Game Over. We wait for the players to come out of the gym, most of them in tears. For the seniors, this is the last organized game any of them are ever going to play. No one is going on to play professionally. These are the REAL student-athletes. Everybody congratulates them, though all of this small talk is certainly bitter-sweet for them.
This is what's great about the NCAA tournament. There are 65 teams that made it in Division I. Each team has a story and an entire University supporting them. The best part of the tournament isn't the Championship weekend, or even the final 4 weekend. It's the first weekend, when all the fans of all the teams are there cheering.
Manny Pacquiao easily rocked Clottey last night. Now can we get him to fight Mayweather so we can put to rest the argument of who is the best fighter in boxing?
Pacman > Mayweather.
Ladainian Tomlinson signed a 2 year deal with the Jets. I'm not sure how I'd feel about this if I were the Jets. They lose Thomas Jones, who I think has aged much better than LT, and they get another really old running back. If I'm LT, I would've signed with the Vikings. If the Vikings get Favre back and add LT, they are one of the favorites to win the NFC. The Jets kind of overachieved last season. They were 9-7 during the regular season. Even with their additions, they will once again compete in the stacked AFC. The Colts, Patriots, Dolphins, Ravens, Chargers, Steelers are all still very good. I think legit contenders in the NFC next year are probably the Saints, Packers, Cowboys, and Vikings if Favre comes back. I guess we'll see what happens.

Oscar
The Oscars are tonight. Although I may seem to be completely unqualified to do this, sportsdude101 is your guide to the award ceremony. Here is your incomplete preview of who you should expect to see win later on tonight.
I'll start with Best Picture, since that seems to be the big one. I don't know about you guys, but I have NEVER seen a single Oscars where I knew every film in the Best Picture category. It's weird because you would assume if it's THAT good you would have heard of it. Not always the case.
Some of this year's films I never heard of that are in the main categories are: An Education, A Serious Man, A Single Man, The Last Station, and some more.
As many of you probably know, they expanded this category to 10 films this year. I have seen 4.5 of them. (Avatar, District 9, Inglorious Basterds, Up, and pieces of The Hurt Locker) In order to fairly critique movies in this category you need to have watched at least 3 of them.* I am thus well qualified to be a judge.*
A big subplot of the Oscars is James Cameron vs. his ex-wife Katheryn Bigelow, Avatar vs. The Hurt Locker. They are both the clear favorites to win many of these awards, especially Best Picture. People who know way more about this stuff than me are saying The Hurt Locker is probably going to win. Thus I am going with Avatar for no other reason than to root for the underdog...though the underdog in this case grossed over $2,500,000,000.
Prediction: Avatar
Apologies to: Hurt Locker, Inglorious Basterds
Best Director is a category I don't really care for. Shouldn't the best movie have the best director? How can a sucky movie have the best director and vice versa? That's why James Cameron will win. It'll be an Avatar sweep.
Prediction: James Cameron
Apologies to: Bigelow, Jason Reitman (Up in the Air)
Best Actor: People say this is an easy category. Jeff Bridges was unbelievable in Crazy Heart and there is no way anyone else could win. I disagree. I have to admit I did not watch a single movie in this category except for pieces of the Hurt Locker with Jeremy Renner. So in my eyes, the nominees each have an equal 20% chance to win. After doing some eenie meenie miney moe, I have selected Morgan Freeman to win for his role as Nelson Mandela in Invictus. Yeah, I think that's how the real voters do it when faced with a tough choice.*
Prediction: Freeman
Apologies to: all of them.
Best Actress: Meryl Streep has 16 Oscar nominations in her career, but she has only won 2. Should she be disappointed? At some point, she has to be, right? I hope she wins if only to raise her batting average to almost respectable. (and because I don't like Sandra Bullock)
Prediction: Streep
Apologies to: Sandra Bullock.
Best Supporting Actor: Woody Harrelson was awesome in Zombieland. He's nominated in this category for his role in The Messenger. Since I haven't seen that, I will base his performance in Zombieland to be good enough to help him win this Oscar. This is also an unwritten Oscar rule.*
Prediction: WOODY
Apologies to: Matt Daaaamon, Christoph Waltz. (Waltz was really unbelievable as the Nazi in Inglorious Basterds but he is still a close second to Woody in Zombieland)
Best Supporting Actress: Apparently, Mo'nique is supposed to win because she played a very emotional and powerful role as an abusive mother in Precious. I think she will win because she is large and in charge.
Prediction: Mo'nique
Apologies to: Penelope Cruz, Maggie Gyllenhall
Some other thoughts: Best director has never gone to a woman, so that could change if Bigelow wins. Avatar seems to be a huge step in cinematography and visual imagery, so it would be disappointing to me if it doesn't win best picture. Nobody has ever made a movie like it, and it will change how movies are made forever. Up was a great animated feature, and I'm sure it helped males get poonani all over the world, but Best Picture? Nahhh. I did enjoy it though.
I realize most of you will probably be reading this post after the Oscars tonight, thus being able to see the winners and compare them to my predictions. Well no matter what happens, these guys will always be the winners in my heart. Screw you Oscar, your picks are going to suck.
I'll be back with more Sports stuff later this week.

UConn Women?
It seems strange to lead off a post with this one, but I must give some props to the womens basketball team at Connecticut. They are about to set the record for the longest winning streak in NCAA women's bball history. The record, also set by Uconn back in 2001-2003, is 70 games in a row. The current streak is at 69, with the next games coming up this weekend. They are sure to break it. The most amazing part of all is that none of the games have even been close. They haven't won by less than double digits during this entire streak. Unbelievable. Everyone else can play for second place because UConn women are going to win the NCAA tournament this year....unless I just jinxed them.
The NFL combine is an annual event used to determine how good a potential draft pick is going to be. Many college athletes who aspire to be drafted go to the combine do various drills, take exams, and get interviewed. All of these things are supposed to measure how good you can be for an NFL team. Of course the system is flawed, many people who do great in the combine fail in the NFL and vice versa. But it's still highly valued among NFL franchises, and it is also quite entertaining for us mindless folk. For example, the Wonderlic exam (or as I like to call it, the Wonderlickmyballs exam) is a test administered by many employers to measure the intelligence of potential employees. A score of 20 indicates about average intelligence (according to wiki), and a perfect score on the exam is a 50. Ryan Fitzpatrick, QB of the Buffalo Bills, is a Harvard graduate rumored to have scored almost perfect in just 9 of the 12 minutes given. Vince Young, QB of the Titans, scored a 6 on his first attempt and a 15 on his second. (A score of 10 suggests literacy)
The most interesting event to many is the 40-yard dash. Chris Johnson holds the record for fastest 40-yarder, at 4.2 seconds. Rich Eisen, who used to work for ESPN and now works for the NFL network, runs the 40 yard dash every year in his suit and tie. He does it for the average man. He is a hero to us, but a fool in the eyes of the athletes. He did set a personal best this year with a 6.25. Here's the video, and his fellow commentators ripping him. If you can't watch the whole video, skip ahead to about 2:30 where the real funny stuff begins.
There was a mistake in handing out the bonuses to the World Series Champion Yankees, so each player must now give back $10,000...It's unfair how little that means to each of them. I'm pretty sure A-rod makes $10,000 for wiping his own ass. It's in his contract as an incentive bonus. I'm not 100% sure about this, but I heard from a source who's close to another source who's close to A-Rod's cousin's friend. So that makes me about 95% positive.
Kobe Bryant was voted 5th dirtiest player by his peers. This video explains it all.
It looks like Andre Iguodala isn't hurt as much as he is surprised. It musta been one of those uncomfortable taps where you don't feel pain but it just feels damn awkward for a while. The guys know what I'm talking about.
Yao Ming and his wife are set to have a child, and China is hoping that the baby isn't born in the U.S. If so, then he/she will be an American citizen, thus not allowing the baby to play for Team China in the Olympics. The child will probably be of infinite height, with Yao being 7'6 and his wife being 6'2. That's just unfair. The shortest person in the world right now is 24 inches tall. I think Yao's unborn baby is already taller than that. I heard the baby crib is so big it is an actual jail cell. Forget the closet shelf, Yao is going to have to hide his gun in a cloud somewhere. Why are humans so differently shaped and sized? Answer me, readers!
Onto the traditional stuff-
Address to commenters: Every story I post on this site is 100% real. I am pretty good about telling you if I just made up something or if you should not trust me on a certain topic. Whitxly, "Sum poosie" is very real. Manny Ramirez is very dangerous. DK, I bet you couldn't do that trick at a party. Ooh I sooo got you. I hope by now all of you have seen the picture and noticed why it is kinda NSFW. It's a funny picture though, and I bet Kenny would like it for multiple reasons. Also you seem to be on the feminine side, and that's ok. You could be the best female MW2 player ever! And Kenneth, how could you miss google? I don't want to be your sporcle partner. I'll take Irfan. At least he can name every bone in the body.

oh canada
The big sporting event of this past weekend was the Hockey Gold Medal Game, in which Canada defeated the U.S. 3-2 in overtime. Sid the kid hit the game winner in OT and gave the Canadians the gift of gold. It was really a great game to watch, and although the US didn't prevail it was nothing to hang their heads about. They settled for silver, though they all looked quite upset while accepting. As exciting as the game was, it was really cool to see the celebrating. Americans don't feel half as passionate for their country as most other countries do. Where else do you see every fan standing for their national anthem and singing every word? They don't need singers pre-game because everyone is already singing it loud and clear. Sixty-one percent of Americans don't even know the words to our national anthem. Oh, America..
This is just one of many instances where you'll see the Canadian fans take over their anthem. We'll never see that in America. Not at a Yankee game, not at a Cowboys game, Lakers game, or anywhere else. For the greatest country in the world, we kinda suck at showing it sometimes.
Manny Ramirez may be endorsing a strip-club themed energy drink named "Sum Poosie". There is no possible way anyone can add to that. Manny 1, Internet 0.
Back to the Olympics, there was a huge condom shortage in Vancouver. About 100,000 condoms were used up in record time and they had to ship an emergency supply.
Because of the shortage, Bode Miller had to resort to this type of protection. (NOTE: Kinda NSFW or School. Click for larger image.)
Anyway, there are roughly 7000 athletes and officials, making it about 14 condoms per person. Just writing that sentence made me exhausted. I just want to smoke a cigarette or lay down for a while or do some other stereotypical post-sex activity.
Shaquille Oneal is out for the season and may miss some of the playoffs with a sprained thumb. I think it's a big loss for the Cavs because during his 2 months off, I guarantee Shaq won't stay in shape. He's going to get fatter, and this will severely impact this team. The Lakers are looking good and so are the Nuggets and Mavs. A solid Western Conference. The Eastern teams kinda suck. That is my NBA insight. You can't find this top notch analysis anywhere else.
It's March! Almost time for March Madness!!! I will be previewing the tournament with my picks, of course, when the time comes. I've watched a lot more college basketball this year than I have in the past so I'm totally going to be an expert bracketeer. Follow me and I guarantee you will win your office pools. (or die trying)
