From the leader in relevant, substantive news – TMZ – comes this inside information about the upcoming dunk contest:
TMZ spoke with Toronto Raptors star DeMar DeRozan who told us he will definitely be using elements from “Thriller” when he throws down in Dallas on Saturday night.
Just as an aside, only TMZ would refer to DeMar DeRozan as a “star.” I guess when you report anytime Heidi Montag takes a shit, some NBA news could seem sort of glamorous.
Anyhow, I wonder just what DeRozan has in store for us. I’m not getting my hopes up, though, since the dunk contest has been lame for years. Nate Robinson has won twice, right? Well, at least once, and I honestly couldn’t tell you one dunk he did aside from jumping over Dwight Howard. And that was gimmicky and dumb anyway. So unless DeRozan spares us a moonwalk and instead starts fondling little boys before dunking, I won’t be impressed. A full body skin bleaching just prior to a windmill would also be acceptable.

Red Sox rotation is still better. My choice would be Joba in the bullpen, and give Hughes the 5th spot.

I’m not sure how people can dispute that this isn’t the best baseball movie of all time. I mean come on people. Bang The Drum Slowly? Maybe. You cannot mess with Roy Hobbs.
“Come here! Let me see that bat”
You can debate whether or not Mark Sanchez had a great rookie season and whether the Jets won because of him or despite him. What isn’t arguable, though, is that Sanchez has a long way to go before he can be considered as studly as Jeter, Brady, or even Matty Kemp. Right now, he’s still in the minors.
Last weekend may have been about the Saints and the Colts, but Jets heartthrob Mark Sanchez still managed to steal one show in Miami.
Our snowbird spy says the quarterback had lots of ladies fawning over him at a Maxim bash at the Raleigh Hotel on Saturday, but Sanchez had eyes for only one gal: “The Hills” star Kristin Cavallari.
“He was definitely all about Kristin,” the source dishes. “They even left together at the end of the night.”
Look, Cavallari is a pretty hot girl, but she’s a friggin’ reality star for crying out loud. She certainly doesn’t floor anyone with her looks. It seems as if the media is trying to build up Mark Sanchez as this big New York heartthrob, but I ain’t buying it. He’s a decent looking kid for sure, but I can’t take him seriously when he’s hitting on chicks from The Hills. Derek Jeter and Tom Brady bang supermodels and actresses, and Matt Kemp has bagged Rhianna. Putting Sanchez in that class is a joke – he’s Tiger Beat to Jeter’s GQ.
Step up the game, Sanchez, because as of now, your “heartthrob” status is a joke. You’re like the David Wright of the NFL.
Why would anyone pick this sport. The fail is just wretched. I mean not only are you exposed, you slide for about five minutes. At least in a bobsled you can hide. My personal favorite is when the guy or girl tries to put his or her feet down to somehow slow the crash down. Yeah, like that works. I guess we should mention that there is really potential to hurt yourself, too. Personally, I just thinks it’s insult to injury you have to slide your ass on ice for 5 minutes after you bail. Winter Olympics is a couple days!
The Boston Red Sox go into the 2010 Season with the best rotation in Major League Baseball ahead of the Mariners, and Yankees. Fortunately, their lineup isn’t too hot. If the Sox add Adrian Gonzalez, or some other big bat mid-season, watch out for this team. This is simply a rotation that you DO NOT want to run into in the postseason. If you do, here’s what you’re going to get….
Game 1
Josh Beckett – He’s a legit Ace of a staff and has shut down stuff. Guy is the big game playoff pitcher. Boasting a 3.00 ERA for his postseason career, Joshy B has been damn near unhittable in big games.
Game 2
Jon Lester – Young stud with incredible stuff. Was an absolute K machine last year. If he improves the next few years, he could be deadly. As a Yankees fan, I like Jon Lester and have no problem with him succeeding.
Game 3
Jon Lackey – Here’s where you get the knockout punch. Lackey is a bulldog. I have flashbacks of his heroic performance against the Yankees last postseason only to see his bullpen blow it. If Lackey stays healthy there isn’t a better third starter in the league.
Rest of the Staff
Daisuke Matsuzaka, Clay Bucholz, Tim Wakefield. Bucholz is the wild card here, guy has tremendous potential, and could win 15 games this year if he’s on his game. If you remove Dice-K’s last season, you can start to shit your pants now, because there is no let down in this rotation. Oh, and we haven’t forgotten about the young flame throwers in the bullpen and minors. For those of you who are not Red Sox fans, lets hope Papi stays off the juice and they don’t pick up any bats.
I’ve said before that NBA players doing trick shows during practice and before games is sort of lame, but Monta Ellis is the exception to that, if only for the reason that he seems to consistently make these impossible shots. It’s not a couple of lucky chucks here and there, as Ellis has been nailing these sorts of shots all season long. So of course, his name was left off the NBA’s All-Star H-O-R-S-E contest, because including him would make sense. At least there’s that awesome slam dunk contest to look forward to. Oh, wait.
For those of you who have been crawling under a rock for the past couple of years you might not be aware of the fact that there are women out there playing professional football in their underwear. Yes, it’s called Lingerie Football and it’s gaining some serious popularity. They wear pads, they tackle, they do it all.
What else do they do? Sexy model shoots, make appearances at bars, go out, get drunk, party, and make guys like us wish we were out there on the gridiron with them.
It’s a real pleasure. Most of these girls have cheerleading gigs in the offseason or dance or just taunt dudes like you and me with their ridiculous figures.
I’ve taken the liberty of finding some quality pics of these women when they’re not tackling each other. Enjoy
