Baseball is right around the corner. Pitchers and catchers are preparing to pack their bags. For those of you who are preparing for your fantasy baseball draft here are five pitchers to keep an eye on going into the 2010 Season……
As much as I love Allen Iverson, it was a crock that he was voted a starter for this season’s NBA All Star game. It turns out that he isn’t going to be playing, and neither is Kobe Bryant.
DALLAS (AP)—Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers and Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers won’t play in the All-Star game this weekend.
Both former NBA MVPs were voted into the starting lineups by fans.
The NBA announced Thursday that Bryant will be replaced by Dallas point guard Jason Kidd on the Western Conference roster. Iverson’s spot in the Eastern Conference will be filled by New York forward David Lee.
Jason Kidd? Uh, whatever. I’m glad David Lee has finally been given the roster spot he deserves. The guy is a double double machine and pretty much the only reason the Knicks are ever in a game in the first place. It’s been a long time coming, so congrats to David Lee. A friend of mine knows a girl who hooked up with Lee while at UF, and apparently he’s just enormous. I realize that doesn’t have much to do with the All Star game, but the size of an athlete’s penis is always worth mentioning. You know this.
Anyhow, I’m not too upset about no Iverson, but no Kobe is kind of a bummer – he’s one of the few guys who actually takes the game seriously and will play hard throughout the game. You don’t think he’ll want to guard Lebron and send a message? Everyone else fucks around for three and a half quarters before finally playing a little bit of defense, but you know Kobe’s going to be a dick and try hard the entire game.
The All Star game is quickly becoming the Pro Bowl, though, and with the slam dunk contest as boring and watered down as it’s ever been, All Star Weekend just ain’t what it used to be. Maybe I’ll catch the highlights.
The word “weird” does no justice to describe this video. I think it’s safe to say that ever since the movie The Hangover we could all use a little more Mike Tyson.
I mean what the hell is this guy gonna do in his 60s? I just see a Mr. T type of career but way more silly (if that’s even possible).

The talk of the Olympics so far has been the injury status of Lindsey Vonn. You know how the public latches onto a story and runs with it. Vonn has been the popular one so far, hopefully she can perform at this year’s Winter Olympics. I can’t imagine what it’d be like to train for something for 3 years and miss out on a medal due to a small injury.

Seriously, this dunk is just vicious. If you watched the rest of the game, or saw the highlights later on, Cunningham got a dunk in, too, and Stoudemire was in the vicinity. But it wasn’t a “revenge” dunk, especially since Stoudemire was hardly in the play at all at didn’t contest a shot. If Cunningham’s return dunk was a facial, then this one by Amare was a bukkake session for Peter North and six of his clones.
It’s time for Olympic Hockey! There won’t be a 1980 Miracle Game this year, but it should be entertaining. This kid is absolutely awesome. Compare it to Kurt Russell’s from the actual movie “The Miracle”. Right on point..
You know, in case that whole dog-killing fiasco wasn’t already enough.
A contrite Michael Vick told an Atlanta radio station Wednesday he wishes he had been more dedicated to his craft while quarterbacking the Falcons.
It was one of many regrets Vick expressed in the interview with 790 AM The Zone.
“There was a lot more I could have done off the field and in the film room that could have elevated my game to a different level,” Vick said. “I was complacent at the time, somewhat lazy, and I settled for mediocrity. I thought what I was doing was enough.”
Interesting. If Vick had as much passion about football as he did about dog fighting, he could have been an All-Pro. I mean, the guy’s willing to electrocute dogs and slam them into the concrete for not winning a fight – and you have to admire his focus on winning – but God forbid he take a look at film of a football game.
In all seriousness, though, the guy has paid his debt to society and rightfully should have received a second chance. It’s just that he’s such an unmitigated scumbag that I’m still amazed a team took a chance on him. But then I remind myself that that team was the Eagles, and that Philadelphia fans are the worst sort of fans in the world, and it all makes sense in a depressing way.
Vick kills dogs and didn’t try his hardest in Atlanta despite being paid millions of dollars. Yet people will wear his jersey because he runs fast. Sorry, today’s just one of those days where I hate sports.

Every season the Kansas Jayhawks are in contention for an NCAA Tourney bit, not to mention having a chance at going the distance. It’s a sign of a fantastic athletic program. And when you have a great athletic program it usually trickles down to nearly all athletic programs, including cheerleading.
Now I don’t know any of these girls personally but I can tell you that the Kansas Cheerleaders look like a healthy bunch. I got two things to say: Road Trips and Stomachs. These ladies know how to party while away (or home) and take amazing care of their tummies.
Don’t take my word for it. Check out the pics after the jump
