Al touched on the creepiness of these NBA commercials not too long ago, but this one featuring Kevin Garnett and Lebron James caught my eye for a different reason. It’s that first line: “I remember seeing Bird win it all.” Let’s do the math, shall we? Bird and the Celtics won the NBA Championship in 1981, ‘84 and ‘86. KG was born in 1976, so it’s very possible that, at age 5, 8 or 10, he saw Bird win it all and decided then and there that he would do the same. Lebron…well that’s a different matter. As we all know, Lebron James is just 23 years old, born December 30, 1984. That would make him, oh, about a year and a half old when Bird won his last title. So, with all due respect, I call bullshit.... [Read more]

Image details: Washington Redskins 2007 Headshots served by picapp.com If you haven’t heard, Chris Cooley of the Washington Redskins has his own blog over with Yahoo! Sports. It’s highly entertaining if you want to know the thoughts of a pro football player or, say, if you want to know what it’s like to pee while another man stares intently at your penis (from the blog): Once the selection process ends the player must wash his hands before the real fun begins. Who knows what someone could put all over his fingers to tamper with the results? The test taker then takes his shirt off and moves into the bathroom stall. At this point the pants must go down below the knees. In my case they usually fall closer to the ankles. I feel... [Read more]

See more funny videos at CollegeHumor I can’t decide if this guy has incredible brass or is incredibly stupid — or if the video is even real. I’m thinking/hoping it’s a fake because, not only does this guy remind me of how much of a gigantic wuss I am, but it also shows that surfers are way cooler than me. Also — again, this only applies if this movie is real — how ballsy is it to surf in shark infested waters, with or without three-pound stakes in tow? [Read more]

Yaowza! That is a fugly-ass rug, isn’t it? And what about those light fixtures? All that’s missing is the cork because this place is TACK CITY! Whoever lived here must’ve been blind and possibly insane. I mean, anyone who thinks this is a nice way to design a house must also think tattooing your face is a good idea. Oh. Of course. These are the pictures of Mike Tyson’s former house. As you can see, it’s been abandoned for quite some time. So long, in fact, that I’d think twice about jumping in that pool. Strike that, I wouldn’t think twice about it. I would never once think about it. That ish is gross. (Photo courtesy of Wacky Archives. Credit: illicitohio.com) [Read more]

OK, so this isn’t really new — SportsCenter has included non-game plays in Top Plays for a while now — but I’ve always found it interesting when SportsCenter decided to place a non-competitive play in it’s Top Plays (not to mention shots of fans, championship parades and other things that can’t even be classified as “plays”). Regardless, this bank shot by Morris Peterson during Hornets practice yesterday morning is nothing short of incredible. Full story can be found here and here (and I hear that writer is one handsome devil). [Read more]
