For those of you who are thanking the good heavens that the Saints v. Vikings game is in New Orleans because they are tired of hearing that stupid horn in the Metrodome might want to pass on this video. Mascots as a whole are pretty dumb. There are a couple awesome ones, but in general I’ll take a pass. The worst part about Ragnar is he doesn’t have a birds head or something to cover his identity. Furthermore, he can make eye contact with you. That’s just wierd. I mean if I went to a Vikings game I would be petrified to make eye contact with this guy. It would either haunt my dreams or turn me to stone. The Horn is annoying enough, but now we have to put up with a masculine, yet flamboyant Viking. Ziggy Wilf has a bazillion dollars. The dude can’t buy a goddamn Viking Costume with a head! Sheesh…
Everyone knows that Vince Carter is a pussy, right? Did Stan Van Gundy get that memo?
After the Orlando Magic’s 109-98 win over the Indiana Pacers at Amway Arena — one that featured a 6-point Carter performance on 2-of-8 shooting – SVG said this when asked about Carter’s continued funk:
“Look, it’s just too much scrutiny on one guy. That’s all we come in and talk about every game. ‘What did you think of Vince, what did you think of Vince?’ We played well.”
First off, the Pacers are atrocious, so beating them shouldn’t take scrutiny off of Vince Carter. But secondly, and more importantly, is it really unfair to place this much scrutiny on a guy who always seems to be gimpy and who has admitted in the past to not trying his hardest? Vince Carter may be able to dunk like a motherfucker, but he’s always been a pussy. He has more athleticism that 99& of the league, but all it takes is one hard foul to keep him out of the lane and chucking up 20-footers for the rest of the game. He didn’t try his hardest in the past and right now he’s slumping terribly. I think media scrutiny is warranted.
And let’s not get carried away, SVG. Tiger Woods is facing too much scrutiny. Vince Carter ain’t.
What I’m trying to say is that Vince Carter has always been and still is a gaping vaj. The Magic won’t go anywhere with him as their starting two guard; Turkoglu was a much better fit.
For those of you who don’t know, Novak Djokovic is a tennis player. (The Aussie Open started so this is pertinent) Djokovic is the 3rd ranked player in the world, and has really taken tennis by storm the past couple years. Most of you have probably seen him make fun of Maria Sharapova and Rafa Nadal. We’ll apparently the joke is still on us because this guy is pulling serious tail. Fuggin Tennis who knew… Take a look for yourself
Now I might be wrong with the rumors here but I remember when I went to college someone told me that the ratio of girls to guys at The University of Delaware was something in the neighborhood of 5 to 1. Even if that’s way off and it’s 3 to 1 wouldn’t it stand to reason they’d have a splendid cheering squad?
No offense to these girls. In fact I’m pretty sure I’d have fun with all of them (I’m 30 and my standards are zero) but what pains me are these gangster outfits they are wearing. I mean is that the new fad these days in the cheering world? What the hell is this?
If anything we’re gonna have to see more leg. Come on ladies. You’re not exactly USC Cheerleading here so let’s get it together, slut it out a little more and I might just attend one of these games.
I guess you can look at pictures after the jump
The Rockies would be a lot better off sending money to Haiti, because this amounts to nothing more than charity.
The Rockies signed Payton, who didn’t play in the Majors in 2009, to a Minor League contract with an invitation to Major League Spring Training, Rockies player development director Marc Gustafson announced Wednesday.
Gustafson also said the Rockies completed work on a Minor League deal with catcher Paul Lo Duca, a former All-Star who also didn’t play in 2009.
Payton, 37, hit .309 with 33 home runs for the Rockies 2002-03 before signing with the Padres as a free agent. He last played for the Orioles in 2008, when he hit .243 with seven homers and 41 RBIs.
Lo Duca, who turns 38 on April 12, played for manager Jim Tracy with the Dodgers. A .286 hitter in 11 seasons, Lo Duca hit .243 for the Nationals and Marlins in 2008.
Thank God both contracts are Minor League deals, but what’s the point anyway? I can’t think of two potential free agents with more of a ceiling than Payton and Lo Duca. I didn’t even know that Jay Payton was still in baseball (and oh, by the way – you think he ever roided?!?!) and Lo Duca isn’t good for anything except having affairs with teenagers.
I really can’t think of a worse way for the Rockies to spend their money. I mean, these guys weren’t even good enough for the Mets. It would make about as much sense to sign a giraffe and a teacup. That giraffe would have a hell of a strike zone, though,

I’d like to give a warm round of applause to Kobe Bryant for leading the league in Jersey Sales. Way to go buddy.
The most popular jersey sales list is out. Topping the list for the second year in a row is Lakers guard Kobe Bryant. Cracking the top five for the first time is number four Derick Rose. Entering the list for the first time is number ten Pau Gasol. The rankings are based on sales at the NBA Store in New York City and NBAStore.com since the start of the season.
I can’t help but to think of a few things as I read about Kobe’s jersey sales. And it’s something that is a recurring theme in sports as I get older and have more of an appreciation or lack thereof for it. And this all relates to Tiger Woods, Mark McGwire, people like that.
Need I remind you guys that in 2003 Kobe was accused of sexual assault? Need I remind you that he embarrassed the living hell out of his wife? Need I remind you that the evidence sure as hell pointed to some wrongdoing? While Kobe may not have fully raped this chick, he cheated on his wife and probably did on more than one occasion.
I bring this up because despite my respect for Kobe as a player, ( and I have more respect for his competitiveness and fire than probably anyone in the league), this is a guy that still cheated on his wife and might not be such a good dude off the court.
What saddens me is that fans get forgetful way too fast. Mark McGwire? How the hell can you possibly embrace this guy? “I wanted to tell my secret for so long?” Are you f’in kidding me? Then why didn’t you? It’s all bullshit and it’s all a mirage. You cheated asshole. And you are WORSE than the other guys and yet the league welcomes you back? Forgive and forget I suppose but damned if people feel sorry for your anguish. Making millions all those years certainly doesn’t make me feel sorry for any cheater in the MLB.
Tiger Woods? Obviously this is a bad person. A very bad person. Prediction? He goes out there, trains his ass off and within five years none of this will have ever happened.
So folks, the next time you spend money on your kids supporting a player that may have raped a chick and at the least cheated on his wife, just think about that for a moment.

It’s hard to remember how great Doc Gooden, and Daryl Strawberry were at one point in there careers. Unfortunately, all the “other” stuff clouds the issue. In ’85, Doc Gooden finished with a 1.53 ERA, 268 Ks, and 16 CG(In 35 games started). One of the most dominant years of any pitcher.

Well, I behaved myself with the Drew and Brittany Brees article. It’s time to let the tiger out of the cage. Please place the following article about Kim Kardashian and Reggie Bush not getting engaged if the Saints win the Super Bowl under “Who gives a !@$#$#%#”.
First, (god I’m going to be sexist and mean, I’m sorry), but obviously this article was written in the NY Post by a woman. I mean, were in the height of the NFL playoffs, and I have to hear this shit? When I saw this I was like, “Of F&^K, I was really banking on them getting married so I can see her tits and her stupid mother in the VIP boxes during all Saints games.” That’s another thing, spare me the camera shots of them hugging when Reggie gains 2 yards
Second, Reggie Bush is a chump. The guys career has been a let down. He had one good game in the playoffs and now REGGIE’S BACK! Let’s not forget how gifted this bozo is, he should be killing it all the time. Kim Kardashian, deep breathe, where do I start. You have a sex tape, strike one.(Let’s hope Reggie is packing heat, otherwise it’d be like throwing a pencil down a mine shaft with this broad) Your show sucks, your famous because your rich parents, and you sound like one of the dumbest human beings on the planet, strike two. You’re pulling a Jessica Simpson, Kate Hudson, girl who knows nothing about sports but likes to jersey chase move. We know how this ends, strike three.
Sorry, had to let the Tiger out of the cage.
