Ariza doing his best “WHAT, WHAT!!!” during a rebound
The NBA champion Lakers were coming off a 105-79 drubbing at Denver two nights earlier only to have another team they vanquished in last season’s title run show them up at home, where they got booed
Really guys? You call yourselves fans? Look, I can understand my New York contingent giving the Knickerbockers some serious boo action. Afterall James Dolan is the son of the devil and the Knicks have been bad since, well, Patrick Ewing has been gone. So if you’re at the garden and you hear boos it’s expected.
But really L.A.? I’m sure Jack Nicholson wanted to puke when he heard the forum booing during the Lakers loss to the Rockets last night. Yeah and poor you guys. You’re only 7-3 without your second best player. Shut up guys. Seriously.
You can’t root for the defending champs? You’ve won how many titles since 2000? It always puts me in awe when fans boo their own team (with the exception of really really shitty teams). Hell I’m a Yankees fan and this is the equivalent of A-Rod boos when he’s not hitting a HR during every at bat (yeah that guy’s a homo but he’s still really good).
I mean at least try and cheer them into playing well. Boo on Lakers fans. Boooo!

Phillies outfielder Shane Victorino was married this past weekend. One of his guests was the worthless attention-whore Jon Gosselin.
While many of his teammates were on hand to witness the big day, Shane raised the ire of some people by inviting Jon Gosselin of “Jon and Kate” infamy. Earlier in the season, Shane did a guest appearance on the program, and he pretty much befriended Jon.
I’ve befriended some sketchy characters in my past, so maybe I’m not one to talk – but Jon Gosselin, to me, is symbolic of everything that’s wrong with our country. I can’t understand how America is obsessed with a pudgy, talentless dude who wears Ed Hardy shirts and looks like he has Down Syndrome. It’s like he secretes some type of douchebag pheromone that renders anyone in his vicinity unable to resist checking TMZ for “celebrity” news, prioritizing gossip and the lives of useless scumbags over things that matter. Like, uh, sports?
With only a few weeks to go in the college football regular season we have six undefeated teams remaining, two of which are newbies to the game, and that’s TCU and Cincinnati. Ahead of them are your usual suspects of Florida, Alabama, and Texas. The point is, a TCU vs. Cincinnati BCS title game would be something exciting and new!
Has anyone been witnessing Ed Hochuli lately? Hey don’t get me wrong, Ed seems like a great guy to me. In fact you can read his entire bio if you’d like. From college football player to his rise as one of the best NFL referees the league has seen to his competitive nature with his brothers, the guy seems like a good dude.
However, this doesn’t excuse the fact that Hochuli just isn’t nearly as big as he was last season. I’m pretty sure that every single game I saw with him officiating last year, at some point in the game I would think to myself, “Hochuli is ridiculously huge.”
Now I find myself saying “What the hell happened to Ed Hochuli’s arms?”
As I write this I’m currently thinking “am I gay?”
And that brings me to my next point: Referee steroid testing. Damn if the players are being tested then Hochuli needs to start peeing in a cup too. We can’t have Hochuli out there having nervous breakdowns and hitting himself in the helmet err head the entire game.
Ed, I’m worried about you buddy. You’re looking quite frail these days and I think I speak for the entire NFL nation in saying we miss the guns.
However, don’t do drugs. That’s my public service announcement for the day.
Everything about this picture is awesome. From the mural in the backround (which I’m willing to bet has a unicorn in it) to the peace sign, to the chubby girls on the bottom.
There’s just something truly funny about an NBA player taking a picture with normal folk.

Looks like Mr. Bush was having a grand old time back in his USC days. And why the hell not? It’s Spring Break so the man might as well relax and dance with some easy to coerce into sex white chicks.
I’m sure Kim K. was a much bigger challenge but the pursuit obviously paid off. I’m a huge fan of Ms. Kardashian. Then again, what the hell am I talking about? Reggie Bush is a total stud.
Still though, it’s fun to see these guys in their college days letting loose.

Sadly, I think there really is a market for kid fighting just like in the Arrested Development episode.
