What's happening around the blogosphere part 2

I did this last week and it went well so what the hell, i'll do it again.

Braves' Ledezma is stuck in Venezuela due to a "laundry accident". (Lion in Oil)

The Phillies lost their 10,000th game last night...HA! (The Fanhouse)

"Let it all hang out, fellas."--Adam LaRoche's message to the Braves (100% Injury Rate)

Greg Oden writes about his night at the ESPY's and of course the playmates. (Greg Oden @ Yardbarker)

"I was excited to meet everyone there, but the two that I smile about the most are Kendra from "The Girls Next Door" and Sarah Underwood "Playmate of The Year" -- she is from Oregon ;). They were two of the finest women I have ever met, hands down."

Detroit makes Cory Redding the highest paid defensive tackle in the NFL. (ESPN)

Looks like the Net's passed on Jermaine O'Neal at the NBA Draft this year. (Fan Nation)

Rich Hill does a sweet Kip impression from Napoleon Dynamite and lets us know that Mark Derosa is training to be a cage fighter. (Larry Brown Sports)

Davey has a hilarious post about Chip and Joe's wonderful commentary during yesterday's game. (Blown Coverage)

Come on Fernando...keep your head in the game. (Awful Announcing)


Here's a bonus video, of Rerun from "What's Happening", to use a phrase that all the cool kids are using these days, getting "jiggy with it". See, i'm hip.

It's magic time baby! Fun with google

It's another slow sports day relatively speaking so Davey and I through the power of messenger, have decided to bring back a fan favorite at our fine establishments, Fun with Google. Basically it just gives us a chance to flex our comedy skills I guess or more so our ability to type in random shit and find awkward pictures that make us giggle like pre-pubescent girls.

So here we go, Fun with Google: Random Shitt Edition

This first picture may bring up some memories that Chicago Bears' quarterback Rex Grossman may not want to. Some of you may remember when I found some rather unusual pictures from the Super Bowl in which Sexy Rexy was violently thrusted against his will on live T.V. by Robert Manthis, who I should mention is a rather large individual. But as this picture clearly shows, this was not the first time a large man has come into contact with Mr. Grossman's hiney(yes I said hiney). It's ok, i'm sure he took it all in stride.

To keep the doggy style penetration going here's a rather odd picture that is sure to bring up plenty of "what's he doing to her mommy" questions from our curious youth at the local Zoo. Just a few ideas of what you could say are:

Mom: I wouldn't know hunny *gives a death stare towards husband*.

Mom: You see darling, the boy panda slipped on some water and was about to fall down but the girl panda caught him using her rear end, you know for better support.

This one is from my own family collection as a youth my parents were really big in keeping me active despite the fact that I had no athletic ability whatsoever. But alas everytime there was a sporting event they would trot me out there and watch me get my ass handed to me, and to be honest I'm beginning to think they were enjoying it just a bit. This picture is of me during basketball tryouts and as you can imagine, I didn't quite make the cut, some bullshit about poor hand eye coordination. Whatever I think it was because they were jealous by my superior body.

As children me and Davey always wanted to be super heroes. But sadly that dream never came true, until that is when Davey surprised me when he came to my house dressed up as Diabetes Guy. It was grand fun, you see Diabetes Guy was equipped with super fast roller blades that allowed extreme mobility, you know for running down bad guys and stuff. He also had an ammo belt filled with our childhood favorites such as snickers. It was all fun and games until the chocolate melted and Davey later skinned his knee chasing down a guy who parked in a handicap spot. Sure the guy was old and had a walker and blind in one eye, but he had no reason to take that spot, come to think of it maybe he did deserve the spot. Oh well.

Well I'm going to cut these shenanigans short seeing as how I have some shit to do, but i'll update with more pictures soon enough.

What's happening around the Blogosphere

Much like smoking cigarettes, all the cool kids are doing it so I will too. And by that I mean having daily links to the most interesting posts from different blogs at least according to me.

The only thing funnier than the video are the comments. (With Leather)

Is Rashard Lewis worth $110 million? (Blown Coverage)

Miss Gossip gets a interview with Greg Oden and she gets right to the hard hitting questions. (AOL Fanhouse)

Tony Parker is still gangsta....at least in France. (We are the Postmen)

Looks like Dan Patrick already has a new job....and boy is it exciting. (The Big Lead)

Jamaal Magloire stayed at the same hotel as J.E. Skeets and Tas Melas in Montreal. (The Basketball Jones)

Ok about the comments thing, they are fucking hilarious, some of my favorites are:

Atari1977 says: Good thing she was carrying her LifeAlert bracelet!

Weed against Speed says: She hasn't had balls in her face since Grandpa died 10 years ago.

Dr. Thunder says: my grandmother went the same way

Oh and the video was posted by the great J.E. Skeets...one of my favorite bloggers.

Say what Eduardo?

During the eighth inning of the AAA All-Star game, broadcaster and current analyst on ESPN's Baseball Tonight, Eduardo Perez dropped this beauty during the live broadcast.

"I remember back when Orlando Palmeiro got called up to the big leagues he cried his balls...uh I mean eyes out"

Yeah I don't know exactly how you go about crying your "balls" out, but it can't be comfortable or very sanitary.

It's that time once again

The only sporting event on this evening is the AAA All-Star game so I'm a little bored as usual. A few days ago I mentioned that the photo galleries always seem to have the best and most humerous photos and well today is no different. They have a gallery up entitled "Greatest Sports Villians" and it has some interesting sports figures on there, such as Barry Bonds, Terrell Owens, Scott Boras and many more. Also on the list was the Oakland Raider's owner Al Davis complete with one of the scariest/ugliest/most disturbing photos i've seen.

The photo draws a great resemblence to a picture of the "ugliest dog in the world". But of course that's just my opinion, you be the the judge.

Random Video Time...one word SWEET!!!

Ok I know i've said this before and i'm sure i'll say it again...but I just saw the greatest thing ever...it's a couple of panda bears teaming up and doing their best prison break impression...



How in the hell did something so big fit through something so small...oh wait..it's not the first time i've heard that...shazam!!!...ok that was unappropriate...anyways this is a great video. It made my day!

NOBODY FUCKS WITH WAYNE NEWTON!! / NBA Mock Draft

What do you know it appears as thought the NBA Draft is literally right around the corner and to be honest besides a few mock drafts and this long ass breakdown I watched earlier today on ESPN I can't say with certainly what will go down tomorrow.

It's not like I've been doing nothing, I mean I've been chasing a Wayne Newton impersonator for the past two months. Ok this might sound pointless, long and all around a waste of time and you will soon find out that it is. But anyway about two months ago I was walking through a grocery store with my cousins and my aunt and I happen to see a guy who looked exactly like Wayne Newton. So like the fucking loser I am, I lost my shit and started yelling phrases that would make Samuel L. Jackson deem inappropriate. To get the gist of what I mean, I randomly started shouting "IT'S FUCKING WAYNE NEWTON"...I asked for an autograph then after being turn downed I acted bitter and coined the phrase "Nobody Fucks With Wayne Newton". Yes, you've heard it here first, "nobody fucks with Wayne Newton" was thought of by yours truly. Now it's not like anyone else has heard this yelled except the twenty or thirty customers that were unfortunately in the produce isle when my little "scene" started and one very confused 50+ year old man with a perfect jet black afro.

But anyways, I was in Quicktrip getting gas and a drink when I went up to the register to pay and I shit you not, who is standing before me? Non other than Wayne "fucking" Newton(for legal reasons I'll say the impersonator). So once again I lose my shit and yell "Wayne Fucking Newton" right in front of three cops, cause apparently quicktrip doubles as a police sub station or some shit....so yes he takes one look at me and says "oh god not again" and makes a run for the door. I didn't follow, well because that would've been rude and you know me, I'm all about the manners. So I payed for my shit along with awkward stares from the quicktrip guy and a few customers and I walk outside and give one last "Nobody Fucks with Wayne Newton" before I get in the truck and make my triumphant departure. Yes I live an exciting life.

Anyhoo...back to what this post was oringally about, the NBA Draft, I'm going to do what I do when every draft comes up and present to you with the My Sports Talk Mock Draft...so here it is.

Random picture time

I'm going to try something a little new here, well everyone knows I do the whole "random video time" and Davey and I have been known to bust out the "Fun with Google" posts every now and then so i'm going to do something similar right here and have a random picture. Sure it's not very inventive but I figure it's a good way to give proper respects to the guys over at SI.com and their awesome and often hilarious photo galleries. Davey scored big with a hilarious post when I got my "absolute final copy" of Sports Illustarted( I swear to God I canceled my subscription like a year and a half ago yet I still get them) and he posted a rather disturbing image of a Mexican luchador in a pink too-too complete with a pink mohawk.

But anyway here's a picture of Philadelphia Phillie's shortstop, Jimmie Rollins getting his face caved in by a pitch from Cleveland Indian's starter, Cliff Lee. Enjoy, because being a Braves fan, I know I did.

Random video time: Top 10 awkward sports interviews

I think it's about time for another addition of random video, this latest one is a Top Ten list of the most awkward sports interviews of all-time.



And the number one, as i'm sure you all know, helped create a hilarious sports blog called "Kissing Suzy Kolber".

And just for shits and giggles here's my favorite scene from "Accepted"...



UPDATE: To keep up with the men screaming like 4-year old girls, here's a hilarious clip of a man, oh about 45 on a rollercoaster losing all of his dignity in about a minute...good shitt

Yahoo makes me laugh

I'm sure we all know how Yahoo Sports can sometimes exaggerate with live broadcasting. Davey knows all about that when he nearly gave birth to a baby whale when Yahoo's live Draft tracker said Miami had taken Baraka Atkins with their ninth overall pick instead of Brady Quinn, but don't worry they didn't take Atkins, they took Ted Ginn Jr, so it's all good.

But Yahoo has been ever so gracious to post this latest gem, in which they said Kansas City was mutilating the St.Louis Cardinals, 15-0 and Tyler Johnson had given up 20 hits in the first four innings.



There's a couple of things I missed, because I had that stupid auto-refresh thing on, so I missed getting to Thompson's line, which had him giving up 20 hits and 7 walks in 4 2/3 innings and also the part where they had Jim Edmonds batting back-to-back-to-back...well you get the point. But I was able to highlight a few things that piqued my interest.

I love the fact that they had Esteban German going 6-6, also they have Alex Gordon at 4-4 and finally Mark Teahen at 6-7....talk about raising the ole batting average a little.

Another point of interest is their horrible math, now sure I suck at it too, but at least I can add properly, well most of the time...first of all they show St.Louis having 12 hits, but if you add up the hits under the Cardinal's lineup it only adds up to 11 and the same goes with Kansas City, they show them having 19 hits, yet their lineup only adds up to 18. I guess they get points for being close, sure wish I got that treatment.

But alas, the Royals are only beating the Cards, 8-0 and German, Teahen and Gordon aren't quite putting up those numbers, although they are all having good games. Looking at where everyone is now, it seems like they just thought, "what the hell, just double everything, it'll be funner". So that's what they did, cause that's how they roll.

Edit: I forgot to mention that when they had Edmonds batting back-to-back about five times, they were for the Royals, so he somehow managed to hit for the opposing team, while playing defense. Quite impressive Mr. Edmonds...quite impressive indeed.

Random video time

No basketball today...and the Braves game hasn't started yet, so what the hell, here's another random video from my amazing collection....Gotta keep your head up there buddy...that's lesson one of hurling large projectiles at one another's faces...I thought everyone knew that.


Little Kids Face vs Large Exercise Ball - Watch more free videos

Random Youtube video

The Braves aren't playing tonight and the Pistons and Cavaliers game is at the half(FYI, Detroit is up one,52-51)...so i'm bored and when I'm bored usually a liquor store gets robbed or something to that effect, but since I have to have pants on to leave the house, Jay's calm down juice will have to wait another day. So here's a random youtube video of people falling down and getting hurt...



Side Note: my favorite one is the first one...for obvious reasons...aww silly rednecks and their redneck entertainment.

Side Note #2: Oh and the Rocky Marciano wannabe at 1:11 makes a strong case....

A picture is worth 1,000 words...or in this case questions

This was taken from last night's game 2 of the NHL Stanley Cup which the Anaheim Mighty Ducks beat the Ottawa Senators, 1-0 to further extend their lead in the series 2-0. It's of Snoop Dogg wearing what appears to be a fake mustache sitting next to who I would assume to be his son. But this pitcher asks more questions than it answers...here's a small portion of the questions that entered my mind when I first saw this picture.

1. Why is Snoop in a disguise, it's not like their is anyone there that could spot him...just check out Lion in Oil.

2. What the fuck! I thought the high-top fade went out of style when Patrick Ewing retired...looks like lil' Snoop is trying to bring it back.

3. Remember to get milk tonight.

Saturday night fever

I'm too tired to do the rest of the posts I had planned, so I'll hold off and do them in full tomorrow. But until then here's a preview of what I have planned for tomorrow.

1. Chuck James had no-hitter broken up in the 7th, Braves still win

Atlanta Braves starter, Chuck James had a no-hitter broken up in the ninth when Jason Bay came up and singled with one out. The Braves still won the game, very convincingly thanks to the All Mighty Thor, who had his first career multi-homerun game. Also continuing to impress is Willie Harris who went 4-5 with 2 doubles and an RBI.

2. Bruce Bowen kneed Steve Nash in his Candaian jewels

I did a post yesterday about Bruce Bowen of the San Antonio Spurs purposely kicking the Sun's Amare Stoudemire in his achilles. Well he did it again, this time kneeing Steve Nash right in his Canadian balls. Nash, obviously was down for a few moments but did return, although he had a horrible game in which he was unable to score until under five minutes in the third quarter.

3. Reigning MVP, Justin Morneau broke his nose

The Minnesota Twins' first baseman, Justin Morneau, broke his nose Saturday night when Nick Punto tried to turn a double play and the ball skipped off the turf and hit Morneau right in the nose. It was reset, but Morneau doesn't expect to miss that much time, he did mention that he is likely to sit out during Sunday's game.

4. Live Blog scheduled tomorrow between the Braves and Pirates

The Atlanta Braves will go for the sweep against the Pittsburgh Pirates tomorrow afternoon at 1:35 pm ET on TBS. We have rookie Anthony Lerew going against Ian Snell.

5. And a special tribute from Mr.T to everyone's mom on Mother's Day

I have a very special video in mind for tomorrow, seeing as how it's Mother's Day.

6. And whatever else catches my attention throughout the day.

It usually happens at least once a day when I post a totally random video/post that has little to nothing to do with sports. And i'm sure i'll do the same tomorrow.

And remember, as Bob Barker would say, please help control the pet population, spay and neuter your pets.
