Wild thing, you make my heart sing
Holy hell in all my years playing and watching baseball I don't think I have ever seen a fight quite like this one. Especially not one that got taken all the way into center field. What is this the California Penal League? Was that Ricky Vaughn on the mound. That pitcher could have given Usain Bolt a race in the 100 with how fast he booked into the outfield from that crazy mofo with the bat. I love how everyone is running in the direction of the outfield and the pussy second baseman can't run off the field in the opposite direction any faster. Good thing it only took over 5 minutes to finally sort this shitshow out though haha.

I might watch Dancing with the Stars for once...
I never have really watched the show, but considering there are a handful of athletes and Erin Andrews to offer this season, I might have to tune in. Just came across some pictures of Andrews getting ready for the show and I can't complain. Since her nude video that hit the net I'm not surprised shes hitting up a show like this to try and make people forget about the incident. She should be thanking whoever the guy was that took that video for the rest of her life. Without that video, no one other than jocks and sports lovers across the country would know her name. Now shes on dancing with the stars? She's the one who interviews the stars. Like I said though, not complaining.

He really loves basketball
Meet Adam, his interests include playing basketball, going to the park and swinging really really high, and lying to his parents about taking his riddlin. How many bowls of coco puffs do this kids parents feed him in the morning. best part of the video is when they ask him what the best part of being there playing basketball is and this kid thinks they are asking him what his favorite park is. I mean come on now, you assholes don't know what Lewis Park is? They have 2 fucking swing sets! Priceless. I would go to Lewis park any day of the week and play Adam 1 on 1.

Yankees Lock up New Era Pinstripe Bowl
The New York Yankees not only will host the NHL's Winter Classic next year, but on Christmas Eve-Eve Yankee Stadium will be host to their very own NCAA bowl game. Yes, you heard right. The Yankees will be whoring themselves out yet again. This time for the college game. And too be honest I'm not sure how a sports fan should be feel about this. I mean, I know I really don't care what goes on in the House that C.C. built, but Yankee fans might.
I get why Randy Levine would want to do this--it makes perfect sense from a financial standpoint. "I think no matter what the sport, every kid who grows up wants to play at Yankee Stadium," the Yankee president said Tuesday. I just don't agree with that bullshit. The mystique that comes with playing in the stadium occurs because of the talented baseball players that played there. Not because Notre Dame may have played a game or two there before.
Or for that matter, the 6th-best team from the Big 12 because that's what it's going to be. Mmhm, that's right. The third best team from the Big East will meet the 6th-best school from the Big 12. Hardly the game that should be played on the oh-so-high stage that is Yankee Stadium. If a game is going to be held at one of the most historic stadiums in sports, then I want to see a better game than Baylor vs. UConn.
This is not the first time Yankee Stadium will be holding a post-season college football game. From 1961-1962, the Stadium played host to the Gotham Bowl. The game was not a success financially: the two games that were played both lost money as few fans were willing to sit through the cold December New York weather. Plus, as it was essentially a charity game, it had little financial capital on which it could survive. The first game, scheduled for December 1960, immediately ran into trouble when Oregon State was invited, but no opponent for the Beavers could be found. The game was canceled. The following year, the Gotham Bowl managed to find two teams to play, Baylor and Utah State, for the game at the Polo Grounds. Baylor won, 24-9, in front of a sparse crowd of some 15,000 fans.
I expect this bowl game would draw more than 15,000 fans, but I'm still skeptical. But from the looks of it, the rich are just trying to get richer. On top of selling outrageous ticket prices for their baseball team, to hosting the Winter Classic, to having Notre Dame play a regular season game, now to the Pinstripe Bowl.
I respect Levine's hustle, but I can't respect him whoring out the House that Ruth Built. Somewhere, the heroes like Ruth, Mantle, and Gehrig are turning over in their graves.

I knew it... Britney Griner really is a Dude
From the beginning when I first saw this "chick" I've been saying there is no way that isn't a dude. This just goes to prove my point even further. Here's a clip of Baylor's Brittney Griner Punching another girl straight in the face during a game the other night. I don't care what you say, shes either a dude, a hermaphrodite or just a chick that takes ridiculous amounts of steroids. This can't be a girl from her size and just listen to it's voice in the interview I posted below. Goddamn that's a Huge Bitch. In all my years watching sports I have never seen a punch thrown by a chick in a bball game. Either that's a dudes anger and aggression coming out, or a serious case of roid rage. My guess, It has been shaving it's balls since about the age of 10.
That's quite the large atoms apple for a chick. Just give it up bro, your cover is blown, but the Nets could use some players, all hope isn't lost for you.
Big Ben at it again
MILLEDGEVILLE,
Ga. (CBS/AP) - A 20-year-old student in the college town of Milledgeville, Ga., told a police officer that Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger sexually assaulted her.
This is the second time in the past year that Roethlisberger has been accused of sexual misconduct. The incident allegedly occurred at a local nightclub, and police are investigating.
Roethlisberger already faces a lawsuit filed last July by a woman who says he raped her in 2008 at a Lake Tahoe hotel and casino - an allegation he strongly denies.
Roethlisberger, who is not in custody, has not been criminally charged in either case. The player's agent, Ryan Tollner, said in a statement he was skeptical of the motive of the alleged victim in Milledgeville because of the previous Lake Tahoe allegations.
This latest accusation came in downtown Milledgeville, about 85 miles southeast of Atlanta and about 30 miles south of the lake home the player owns. Roethlisberger, who turned 28 on Tuesday, spent the night out with friends and ended up at Capital City, a nightclub popular with students at Georgia College & State University.
So this is now the second time in less than a year Ben Roethlisberger has been accused of some sort of sexual assault. I know that no charges have been filed yet in this case and who knows this whore could be completely lying as well but doesn't there come a point where enough is enough there Big Ben. If one accusation wasn't enough this year, this time you had to rob the cradle with a 20 year old college student. There's no problem with that, I'm in full support of going after the younger girls, more power to you. But when your a 28 year old Pittsburgh Steelers QB, how is that not the easiest ass you have ever pulled in your life? Oh, wait, that's right someone needs to remind you that your not fucking Tom Brady or Derek Jeter. Your Ben Roethlisberger. I think it's safe to say, the consensus is your not a good looking dude. You have to know your roll as an athlete. Some of the sources that have come out report that the bouncer outside your VIP area said when your friends from your group were out recruiting girls to come drink with you, most of them had no clue who Ben Roethlisberger even was. Sick life bro. Listen I'm not trying to completely hate right now, but I don't care how many rings you have, stooping down to a College bar in some shithole Georgia town, and you still can't pull some pussy without them claiming you sexually assaulted them? That's pathetic. Either stick around the Pittsburgh area where you know every bitch is going to want to blow you, or at some point your going to have to just start settling for the fat chick that no one really wants to go for. If you need to get laid that bad that, sometimes we have to go down that route and settle for the next best thing.
On a completely different note and staying on the football field, this just goes to further prove that the Giants made the right choice trading for Eli on draft day in 2004. Had they not done that, they were considering taking Roethlisberger with their first round pick. Yes, he may have one more ring than Eli, but so far all the off field baggage that has followed Roethlisberger around hasn't been worth the extra ring at least from the eyes of the Giants Fans. Big Ben has just been a nagging headache for the Steelers, and Eli has been the saint the Giants knew they were getting.
The C stands for Cardiac Arrest
It's been a while since I've talked about my beloved C's, so let me start by saying this: I love the Nate Robinson trade. I don't want to toot my horn in back-to-back posts, however, I did call this way back. The guy is a spark plug off the bench. However, I digress. The Celtics are going to put me on cardiac arrest. And I'm a 22-year-old watching them from home. Imagine how the geriatric Celtic players must feel playing? HA! But in all seriousness, the Celtics have been keeping me on the edge of my seat recently. And that is by no means a good thing.
Kevin Garnett was embarrassed on his own court by Andray Blatche, who has been playing well but who is Andray Blatche? Blatche should be calling KG his daddy, not holding him to seven points on 0-7 shooting. Garnett just doesn't have that same pop that he did in '07 and years prior to that. It looks like he doesn't feel comfortable planting, driving, or putting any faith on that injured knee. And that's not the most frustrating part. The fans and he knows he can still play mentally, but physically the guy doesn't look like he could guard Grandpa JoJo at the local YMCA.
Without a healthy KG, our low-post defense is extremely vulnerable. Come playoff time the Celtics will have trouble with the East's elite bigs (i.e. Chris Bosh, Josh Smith, Al Horford, Dwight Howard).
While I may be boasting about my right predictions, I couldn't have been more wrong about the trade Ray Ray cries. Since the All-Star Break/trading deadline, Allen has been nothing short of Jesus Shuttlesworth; knocking down big shots in big spots, carrying the team on his back. With injuries to KG and Paul Pierce, he hasn't had much of a choice. Tonight alone, Allen nailed two huge threes at the end of the game--one to tie the game and the other to put the C's ahead with 27 seconds left.
Yes, the Celtics did at times look sluggish against an in-flux Wizards team, however there is a silver-lining. Just when the Celtics looked like they had given up and lost all momentum, they flipped a switch and won the game when the had to. It's the type of game that may measure how far they go in the playoffs because tonight reeked of a playoff game. The Celtics were talking their usual shit, and this time, they backed it up when their backs were against the wall.
This team may be old and fragile, but they can still bang with the boys. And while the rest of the league may not like the C's competitive swagger, I think it gives them a certain mystique. When the starting unit came back in for the final push, the gums started flapping, elbows were thrown, and eyebrows were lowered. And their swagger was at their highest after a Wizards turnover when KG swipes at the ball that Blatche is holding. Even though KG's attempt at the ball failed, center Kendrick Perkins was there to snatch the ball back. All this happened after the whistle. It's an attitude that more NBA teams should have: This is my house. This is my ball. I am not letting you have this ball in my house.
That's certainly the mind of a champion. The question is, do the Celtics have the body of a champion?
Charles Jenkins: CAA Player of the Year
So maybe Hofstra wasn't a "bubble team" this year. Perhaps the Pride were more like a million-man march than a pack of ferocious lions. And I may or may not have gotten ahead of myself when I stated that Hofstra could make noise this year after that strong showing against then-11th ranked UConn. However, I can't think of single person who has one bad thing to say about Hofstra guard Charles Jenkins.
Jenkins, the junior 6-4 guard, was named the 2010 Colonial Athletic Association player of the year on March 4th. Despite the Pride's seventh place finish in the CAA, Jenkins accolades should come as no surprise; he was voted the preseason POY by the conference's coaches.
Jenkins was one of four Division 1 players to average 20 points (20.8), four rebounds (4.4), and three assists (3.8). His 20.8 points per game led the CAA by nearly 2 points.
I'd hate to say this, but I did call Jenkins having a breakout year. You can thank me whenever your ready to admit it. The guy is a beast; the type of player that NBA GM's have wet dreams over. I mean, he had a team that was on its back gasping for air and single-handedly turned them into the hottest team going in to the CAA tournament (winning nine out of their last 10 games). He is the heart and soul of this Hofstra Pride team. In fact, I might even dare to say he's the heart and soul of Hofstra Pride athletics. (Easy lacrosse-heads.)
Lacking a football program, Jenkins is Hofstra's last hope at sending an athletic to the professional rankings. If 40 grand a year has taught Hofstra student anything it these four words: "There's always next year." Unfortunately (or fortunately depending on your outlook) for Jenkins, it will be his last year. My only wish is that Hofstra can reward their budding star with a trip to the NCAA tournament to give Jenkins the national attention he deserves.
