Another kind of halftime show at JETS games

Apparently it's become a ritual outside of gate D at the Meadowlands to stand on the pedestrian ramp and tell women to show their T-I-T-S tits! tits! tits!

You can find a lot of videos of this on YouTube. Here's an example

20 year olds you can call 'pops'

Conventional wisdom in athletics once said: watch out for kids who develop too young. The 5'8" kid who towers over the others in 6th grade may only end up being 5'11", and really isn't NBA center-material any more.

In Danbury, I grew up with the Earle twins who both had full mustaches by the time they were 8. They had ball hair and back hair before I could grow sideburns. They were the fastest, biggest kids at the time, but were soon outpaced by late-bloomers who now tower over them.

 

But now I look at the latest crop of high-school atheletes that are coming into the NBA, and I have to say that you can throw that conventional wisdom out the window. Take a look at 3 of the most recent phenoms in the basketball universe:

In the Lebron's, Kid Lebron is more of a stretch than Wise Lebron.
Greg Oden alone looks like he could be 62, but that's the combined age of these three.
The most recent addition is O.J. Mayo - he's 20 and looks like he could play Dwyane's uncle on What's Happenin?

 

Compare Gramps, Pops, and Ricketts to a young Michael Jordan right before he entered the league. Isn't that what a 20 year old is supposed to look like?

 

What the Earle is going on?

Boo-ya! Boo-ya!

Who else saw this debacle last night?:

You are no Mos Def, my friend. This is rock effin bottom for SportsCenter.  Stu Scott has pictures of Berman naked. I'm sure of this. There is no other explanation.   

Vick'Em tee-shirts: File under I for innapropriate

Recently I've caught myself looking at teenagers misbehaving in places like the mall, and thinking "what a bunch of little shits". Or I'll see a mailbox vandalized, beer cans stacked in a pyramid on the hood of someone's car, or an inappropriate tee shirt like the one below. These things remind me that I was the king of little shits back in the day.

So I have to admit that, while I think this is a bit off color now, I most likely would have bought one of these VICK 'EM shirts if I were a student at Texas Tech.

Those who will attend Texas A&M's football game Saturday in Lubbock might see a unwelcome sight. Two Texas Tech students are selling controversial T-shirts bearing the image of A&M's mascot, Reveille. The T-shirt, red with black text and images, displays the words "Vick 'em" across the chest. The back bears the image of a football player wearing a number 7, dangling a dog labeled "Reveille" by a rope. The "Vick 'em" and the football player are meant to portray Michael Vick, the professional football player who was convicted in August of running a multi-state dog-fighting ring. Geoffrey Candia, the shirt's creator and a student at Texas Tech, said he wanted to sell the shirt through his fraternity, but the university turned down the group's request to sell the shirts on campus. "I'm a business student and I saw the profitability and went ahead and printed the shirts," he said.

How I golf

There are 2 categories of good golfers:

1. Guys who are naturally talented at hitting a stupid little white ball
2. Guys who became good, over time, by playing a whole lot of golf

Category 2 is broken down into 3 types:
a) single guys
b) guys who hate their wife/family
c) guys who get to golf as a part of "work"

I'm none of the above. I'll never be good at golf. When I try to play well and count my score I only get frustrated.

This is how I like to play golf:

 

We also played 'best ball' this last time out, which was awesome. I'll never play normal golf again. Even if I'm playing alone, I'll take 4 shots at a time and play my best shot. Make your "Kyle likes to play with himself jokes" all you want. I don't care.

Note: you can easily replace the shotgun before each hole with a funnel - ask Dave Twitchell, it works.

Anyone else see Lebron's F you to Cleveland last night?

Bad PR move, my man. That's like Michael Jordan wearing a Packers cheese head to a Bears game.

Bad year to be named Isiah

Which Isiah's 2007 sucks the worst?

Isaiah Washington jumped out to an early lead, getting fired from Grey's Anatomy for repeatedly referring to T. R. Knight as a 'faggot'.  But he's making a instant comeback that would make Michael Richards green with envy, and is now staring in NBC's Bionic Woman.

(NBC co-chairman Ben Silverman jumped on signing the available Washington, saying it's "like A-Rod leaving the Yankees in midseason." Settle the fuck down, Ben.)   

But now with the Isiah Thomas trial, Zeke's dirty laundry is being aired in a much worse way. Check out these juicy excerpts:

Isiah rebuffed Anucha Browne Sanders' 2004 request to sign renewal-request letters to past season-ticket holders by hissing, "Bitch, I don't give a fuck about these white people!"

According to former assistant GM Jeff Nix, a 15-year employee of the team who was recently fired, he witnessed Thomas calling Browne Sanders a "bitch" and "ho" and recalled one 2004 meeting in which Thomas yelled at Browne Sanders, "Don't forget, you fucking bitch, I'm the president of this fucking team."

The basketball Isiah is offending women and white folk! I bet if John Amaechi was on the Knicks, Thomas would have hit the trifecta.

Shelley Duncan

I love the new dynamics of this 2007 Yankee team. You've got a nice mix of cagey veterans like Jeter and Posada, young talent like Cano and Melky, and even younger talent like Duncan and Joba Chamberlain.

I've always been a Yankee fan, but now I really like the Yankee players again. I  hated having to cheer for a collection of douches like Sheffield, Randy Johnson, Carl Pavano, etc. The latest incarnation is edgy, what with Joba air-mailing 99 mph pitches over Kevin Youkilis' head and Shelley Duncan signing inappropriate autographs (see below and here for full article):

 

Griffin Whitman, a 10-year-old Red Sox fan from Swampscott, was excited to attend his first Yankees vs. Red Sox game Friday night.

The young autograph -collector was even more thrilled to score Yankees outfielder Shelley Duncan’s signature before the game. That is, until Griffin read the message from the 27-year-old rookie: “Red Sox suck! Shelley Duncan.”
