So, This Happened Last Night…

Published on: 11th March, 2010

I need to watch the NBA more.  Since when did players start doing 360 alley oop dunks anyway?
Irregardless, this is freaking priceless.

One YouTube commenter summed it up nicely…
“sick wicked and nasty”
Indeed.

Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My “Coach Cal” Mustang

Published on: 11th March, 2010

This has to be the end all, be all of Kentucky Wildcat memorabilia.  A $71,000 Roush Mustang (or the more reasonably priced $43,000 GT version) customized and labelled the “Coach Cal Edition,” for the Wildcats dapper head coach, is soon to be  available at Paul Miller Ford in Lexington, Kentucky.
Better hurry though…the dealership is only [...]

Shane Battier is Good at Basketball, Awful at Karaoke

Published on: 9th March, 2010

And that’s not great, because Shane Battier really, really loves karaoke.  It’s almost unhealthy, the Rockets forward’s affection for off-key singing–the man considers himself a “huge karaoke aficionado.”
Battier gives a little more detail on his karaoke love affair in this video, which is both a joke (I think), and a promotion for an upcoming charity [...]

Blazers Pryzbilla Slips in Shower, Reinjures Wrecked Knee

Published on: 8th March, 2010

Like the band’s drummers in the cult classic This is Spinal Tap, the Portland Trail Blazers are having a tough time keeping their center’s knees healthy–first Greg Oden is lost for the season after fracturing his patella, then just over two weeks later, Joel Pryzbilla ruptures his patella tendon, thus ending his season as well.
Marcus [...]

I Like My Calipari With a Little Ice and Water

Published on: 1st March, 2010

Folks in Kentucky love their basketball.  They also love that brownest of the brown liquor, bourbon.  And every once in a while, the two meet and form a union of epic proportions.
So, it’s pretty safe to say that Kentucky fans love John Calipari.  And why wouldn’t they?  He’s brought the swagger back to UK basketball, [...]

Virginia Tech-Maryland Game Delayed Because of Near-Epic Disaster

Published on: 1st March, 2010

Seems the Saturday college hoops game between the Maryland Terrapins and the Virginia Tech Hokies was delayed for 2 1/2 hours due to some unforeseen, and nearly tragic, circumstances.
You college kids, and former students as well, will understand what I mean when you hear what went down.  Apparently a wayward truck ran over a fire [...]

Kobe Bryant Commits a Most Unkind Foul

Published on: 1st March, 2010

Sorry Kobe, but that just ain’t right.
If you’re going to contest a shot, best to leave Andre Iguodala’s balls out of it.
Call it a punch, a love tap, a jab, whatever, Kobe’s hand and Iguodala’s junk should never meet.  Ever.  Obviously Kobe was called for the well-deserved foul.

Let that be a lesson Kobe–the only balls [...]

Cavs Trying to Set Stupid World Record With Stupider Fleece Blanket

Published on: 25th February, 2010

But listen, it’s not just any fleece blanket…it’s the Snuggie, the ridiculous blanket with sleeves that should only be worn by the incredibly lonely, or the person lacking in any taste, dignity or class.
Or possibly 20,562 Cavaliers fans.
Because nothing will keep LeBron James in Cleveland better than a gimmicky promotion by the Cavaliers and KeyBank [...]

Record Number of People Watch a Glorified Pick-Up Game

Published on: 15th February, 2010

So, the NBA had their All-Star game yesterday, at Jerry Jones’ billion dollar rumpus room, Cowboys Stadium.  Dwyane Wade took home MVP honors, as the East beat the West, in what can only be described as a defensive showcase, 141-139.
What I can’t believe is that a record crowd of 108,713 shelled out a ton of [...]

Steve Nash is the Most Ridiculous Man in the World

Published on: 11th February, 2010

It’s no secret we love Steve Nash around here.  Not only is he an awesome baller, he’s funny as hell (check him out here reporting for David Letterman).  Plus we have a couple things in common–we’re both white, ugly and Canadian.
His latest gig involves being a spokesperson for Vitamin Water, a product which will never [...]
