I post this because this is probably the first and last time I will ever agree with John Calipari. That is all.

The first question that came into my head was the following; what do you say to this guy if you are his teammate? Xavier was ahead 70-68 and Dayton had the ball. Rob Lowery really screwed the pooch here. I get that Holloway was being a dick slapping the ball away, but come on man….
This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen all year.
…then sign to be their second (or third?) string running back, right?
LaDainian Tomlinson and the Jets have reached an agreement on a two-year contract that will bring the likely Hall of Fame running back to New York.
One day after returning to his home in San Diego following a free agent recruiting visit with the Jets, the former Chargers great chose the Jets over the Vikings, who also were aggressively recruiting him.
The Jets and Tomlinson’s agent, Tom Condon, confirmed the deal Sunday night.
I thought LT would have been perfect for the Vikings, but this deal is pretty good for the Jets, too. Who knows how Leon Washington will recover from injury, and with Thomas Jones gone, Greene is going to need some help in the backfield. Tomlinson is perhaps the best receiving back since Marshall Faulk, making him perfect for the Jets as a third-down back. He’s not the LT of old – not even close – but Jets fans should be pretty happy about this.
It really is staggering how quickly these guys fall off, though. For a span of four or five years, Tomlinson was THE best running back in the league, and it’s be tough to not include him as a Top-10 all-time back once his career is over. But to see him like this, auditioning for teams just to be a backup – it’s all kind of sobering. It’s like waking up one day and finding out that Linda Lovelace choked on a Dum Dums lollipop. It hurts.
Honestly I’ve been researching this Buffalo Men’s Show for at least 20 minutes and I can’t find a damned thing on it. From what I can gather it’s just a bunch of dude stuff all wrapped into one show.
The West Herr Chevy Buffalo Men’s Show went down at the Seneca Niagara Casino and Hotel! Cars, Bikes, Audio, Tools, Poker, Girls, Beer, Golf Football, hockey, Lax, Cigars… you name it – it was there! Check out the photos from all the cool stuff. Naturally we took extra photos of the bikini fashion show!
Make sense? Obviously one of the major attractions at this show was women and dudes just watching them do stuff. Amongst these women? The Buffalo Bills cheerleaders.

The famous David Beckham tore his achilles tendon in the closing minutes of AC Milan’s 1-0 victory over Chievo Verona. The injury occurred while Beckham was handling the ball in open space. It was a non-contact play that resulted in Becks reaching to his achilles and tumbling to the pitch.
This certainly puts Beckham’s presence at the World Cup in serious doubt. This may seem like trouble for England, but for those who know soccer know Beckham wasn’t a sure thing to be placed on the 23-man roster. This injury certainly will not help his chances. An injury of this nature takes about 8 – 10 weeks to heal. Then he must work on his fitness. Tough to call right now, but my guess is we won’t be seeing Posh in the stands this summer.
Jerry Stackhouse was, at one point, a pretty good scorer in the NBA, but really not much else. He’s never played a major role on a winning team and overall is pretty limited as to what he can give you in terms of production. You could probably say the same about Richard Jefferson who, despite being on some good Nets teams, has never really been that great of a player. Right, Jerry?
“I just don’t think he’s as good as everybody talked him up to be, to me,” said Stackhouse. “I mean, I think he has some talent, he’s an athlete but a lot of the best basketball we’ve seen from Richard Jefferson came when he played with Jason Kidd, when he was just pretty much spoon-fed at the basket and was able to run out and just be an athlete. When it comes down to a half-court set and just being able to play half-court basketball I don’t think he’s that special of a player, in my opinion. It’s just one of those things where it’s just not a good fit. It wasn’t a great fit for him in Milwaukee when he was here. He had some big games but really nothing special. He wasn’t a guy that really helped them go to another level as far as wins and losses. And I think they’re finding out in San Antonio that he may not be the right fit for what they want to do. If I know Popovich like I know him I could very easily see him not in a San Antonio uniform next year.”
I’m guessing Stackhouse may catch a lot of heat for his opinion, but really, he didn’t say anything offensive. He didn’t attack Jefferson personally, he just stated that he doesn’t think he’s not that special of a player and that Jason Kidd made him a lot better. Sounds pretty reasonable to me. In fact, I think Stackhouse is dead-on here.
And no, my being convinced that RJ is bisexual has nothing to do with my agreeing with Stackhouse.

A picture’s worth 1000 words, right? Or at least a small blurb on a sports blog, I say. There’s a lot going on in this pic, and most of it’s pretty funny:
1. Dickie V looks like he can’t control himself around a Dookie and is going straight toward Singler’s crotch.
2. Check out my man in the orange shirt. Is it possible to have a fruitier reaction? Slap a powdered wig and a big mole on this dude pronto.
3. The guy in the lower right hand corner looks like Ash in Army of Darkness after he got his face sucked into the Book of the Necronomicon.
4. If you didn’t get that horror reference, certainly you’ll get that Singler IS Cain from Poltergeist II.
5. Is that George Lucas in the upper left hand corner?
Seriously, I love this picture. I half expect to see Waldo strutting around in the background.
