They do have a pretty deep rotation, but this is making a lot of optimistic assumptions about some guys. I still have to go with the Sox. Can’t argue with the Yanks having the best infield though….

This shit better come out for XBox Live Arcade. If it does, so long, productivity.
I didn’t see any dunks that broke the backboard; hopefully that’s in the game, too. Overall, pretty impressive and not really a departure from the Arcade classic.
Fucking Wii.
People forget this guy won the dunk contest twice. Any time you see a 360 in a game it’s gotta be brought to our attention. Nice done J-Rich. Nicely done.
Couple days until the greatest time of the year. Here is a highlight reel from last years tourney. Just kinda wish they picked a song that pumps you up a little more….
Well OK, it’s back to soccer again, and this time we’re exploring the lovely ladies of FC Barcelona. For those of you that are fans the team is usually called team Barca. not that any of you Americans reading this really care. I know I don’t.
What I do know is that European cheerleaders are generally a step up to their American counterparts. Why? Not necessarily because they are hotter but it’s really because they’re just dirtier. And we love that.

It seems that there’s no love lost between Andre Agassi and Pete Sampras, and the two got pretty testy during a recent charity match. Sampras jokingly made fun of the way Agassi walked, so Andre decided to bash Sampras for being a bad tipper.
Yeah, Andre, you got him good. A bad tipper! First off, who gives a shit except for valet parking lot attendants and waiters – who hardly qualify as relevant people – and secondly, being a bad tipper is really all you can say about Sampras. Agassi wore a stupid wig when he played, was addicted to meth, and broke up with Brooke Shields to be with butterface Stefi Graf. Meanwhile, Sampras totally dominated the shit out of you your entire career and still got to go home and bang Veronica Vaughn every night. It isn’t even close, and Agassi should have just kept his mouth shut. Somehow, being a bad tipper doesn’t compare to a meth addiction. Game, set, match Sampras.
This Sixers really stink this year, but Rodney Carney doesn’t think it’s possible to lose games on purpose so that the team has a better chance at drafting John Wall or Evan Turner in the lottery.
“It’s impossible,” he said. “You get out there, your natural instincts are to try to compete to win the game. Rather than, ‘Oh, I’ll miss this shot.’ No way.”
Carney added: “You hear about it, but you don’t want to do it. We want to win every game we can, regardless of some higher draft pick we could get. We don’t worry about that, and we don’t want to think about it, either.”
Don’t get me wrong – I love Carney’s competitive spirit – but he’s going about tanking the wrong way. It’s not about missing shots on purpose, because you still need your stats so that you can get paid. Nah, tanking just comes down to not trying or giving shit, something almost all of us can relate to. You don’t have to miss a shot, just, you know, stop playing defense. Have to dive for a loose ball? Fuck it, let someone else scrape his elbows. Crash the boards? Yeah, right.
Rodney Carney really has so much to learn about being a professional basketball player. And really, I suppose, about being an American. After all, if you don’t try and stop giving a shit, tax payers will help you out. It’s the American government’s very own lottery system. So thanks to all you Wall Street guys busting for your asses and working crazy hours just so half your paycheck can go to help people like me. If you woke up at 9:00 am and wrote a shitty sports blog instead – i.e., tanked – you’d see that it doesn’t take much effort to get rewarded in life.
Unathletic is going to roll out some picks the next couple of days. First, our “Upset Special”. The Racers from Murray State are a talented squad that have what it takes to knock off an inconsistent Vanderbilt team. This is a 13 vs. 4 seed match-up that takes place Thursday at 2:30 pm.
Murray State’s toughest out of conference game was vs. Cal (when Cal was ranked 13th in the nation), and they lost by 5 in Berkeley. Vanderbilt has quality wins against Tennessee, but really made a living owning the lesser teams of the SEC. They have a common opponent in Western Kentucky, who they both lost to away. Vandy by 7, and Murray State by 11.
Murray State has an EXTREMELY balanced attack. They have 5 players who average 10 ppg, which is very unique. I think Vandy is a perfect spot for them. The reason; they can exploit Vandy’s weak defense because they can score, but they can also stop Vandy’s scoring attack with their strong defense.
Vegas has a 13 v. 4 seed match up as a 3 point spread. What does that tell you? Teams are close. Expect Murray State to be extra motivated with the unfortunate death of reserve guard Picasso Simmons’ mom, which happened hours before they left for the tourney. Murray State is this year’s upset special.
