Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade Among Those Named in Nuttiest Lawsuit Ever

Published on: 2nd September, 2010

Jonathan Lee Riches, like most people currently incarcerated, has a lot of free time on his hands.  Some exercise, some work towards obtaining a college degree, and some file hand-written lawsuits against public figures, both dead and alive. Well, that last one may be unique to Riches. During his time in prison for wire fraud, [...]

Joakim Noah Looks Like Someone I Could Golf With

Published on: 1st September, 2010

Especially after catching a glimpse of Noah on the practice green at the annual Chicago Bulls charity golf tournament.  His outfit is not what most golfers would consider “appropriate attire” for playing 18 holes of golf. But I disagree. What Noah’s outfit is saying to me is, “hey dude, let’s play some golf, and get [...]

Brandon Jennings Gets His Lady Gaga On

Published on: 29th August, 2010

I try and give credit where credit is due, and I have to give all the credit in the world to Bucks point guard Brandon Jennings.  It takes an honorable man to follow through after losing a bet, even when the payment is as embarrassing and degrading as grooving out to Lady Gaga, sans shirt. [...]

5 Fake Athlete Twitter Accounts You Should Be Following

Published on: 26th August, 2010

Twitter, that social media phenomenon, allows us common folk to connect not only with friends, but celebrities and athletes alike, all in 140 characters or less.  Unfortunately for us, more often than not we find in those 140 characters that many of our cherished celebs and athletes are vapid, narcissistic, and altogether douchey. When that [...]

Derrick Rose’s Home is Sweeter and Tastier Than Yours

Published on: 19th August, 2010

Want more proof your life will never be as good as that of a professional athlete?  All you have to do is check out Derrick Rose’s personalized Skittles machine, courtesy of the folks at Wrigley, the Chicago based candy company. Word on the street is that Rose, the Bulls prodigiously talented point guard, has something [...]

Dwyane Wade Dominates a Group of Small Children

Published on: 15th August, 2010

Dwyane Wade was co-hosting a clinic at the first annual World Basketball Festival held at Rucker Park, along with Chris Paul, Carmelo Anthony and Michael Jordan.  Of all of them, Wade seemed to be having the most fun…just ask the smallest kid on the court, who Wade thoroughly enjoyed dominating. Dwyane Wade blocking childrens’ shots [...]

Shaq’s New Nickname in Boston is…Tanya?

Published on: 13th August, 2010

Short answer…no. Long answer…still no, but Shaq has been known, on occasion, to go by the handle “Tanya,” and the reasoning behind it is very cool. Shaquille O’Neal is taking his act to Beantown, his 19th season in the NBA, and Vanity Fair caught up with The Big Aristotle for an interview. As usual, Shaq [...]

Finally, A Video Combining My Love of Hall and Oates With a Dude in a Banana Suit

Published on: 7th August, 2010

This video has a simple premise–the dude in the banana suit and sunglasses, aka Banana Man, and his three new BFF’s, LeBron, D-Wade and CB4, spend the day together doing a variety of super-fun activities, all set to the musical stylings of classic 80′s duo, Hall and Oates. It’ll either be the best 3 1/2 [...]

Ron Artest Coaching the Knicks Not The Worst Idea I’ve Ever Heard

Published on: 6th August, 2010

But it’s up there, amirite? Artest, the slightly dysfunctional but always entertaining Lakers small forward, recently sat down for a mano-a-mano with ESPN, and as per usual, the defensive wizard failed to disappoint. Brutally honest to a fault, Artest gave some rather compelling answers to the interviewer’s queries.  His most intriguing response came after he [...]

LeBron James Thanks Akron in Newspaper Ad, Cleveland Conspicuously Absent

Published on: 3rd August, 2010

Maybe I was wrong in blasting the Cleveland fans for their gross overreactions to LeBron’s decision to leave them high and dry for sun-soaked Miami Beach.  I mean, I thought the jersey burning, venom laden message board rants, and LeBron zinging billboard were a bit much, but in light of LeBron’s dickish move in today’s [...]
