Kevin Youkilis was gifted with the ability to grow mean facial hair. Now he’s giving that gift back to those less fortunate.
FORT MYERS, Fla. — Kevin Youkilis is making his Opening Day facial hair a matter of public choice. Fans who donate at least $1 to his “Hits for Kids” charitable foundation can weigh in on whether he should sport a goatee, mustache, fu manchu or clean shaven look on April 3.
I’m pretty sure Youk is already rockin’ the fu manchu, which is really pretty overhyped in my opinion. Anyway, it’s cool that Youkilis cares so little about his looks that he’s willing to let fans decide just how he should wear his facial hair. I guess when you’re as ugly as Youk, it doesn’t really matter what’s growing on your face.
And not to undermine his charitable contribution – because it really is a cool thing he’s doing – but isn’t he playing it kind of safe? A mustache? A goatee? If you really want to get people interested and donating money to the charity, you’ve got to up the ante a bit and give them options they can get excited about. How about letting them vote for either Wolverine sideburns, a Hitler mustache, or one of those old-timey mustaches that connect to the sideburns? THAT would get people involved.

Northern Iowa punched it’s ticket yesterday. They could be a pesky out for some teams. Don’t get excited for one of their games though. They are low scoring, drag ‘em out affairs. They will most likely be pitted against a schizophrenic athletic team, in which case you gotta give them a shot.

Did anyone catch the Lakers against the Magic on Sunday? If you did it was a pretty decent game to watch. If this winds up being a finals rematch I still think the Lakers would win but the Magic certainly got the best of LA on that day.
Still though, Matt Barnes. Come on man. You’re not that good. I can’t stand players who aren’t very good that talk a lot of trash and try to annoy players.
Kobe clearly wasn’t having any of that.
Of all the drugs to accuse her husband of abusing, Chantel Kendall picks adderall??
The latest salvo fired by Chantel Kendall, aside from the allegations of emotional and physical abuse, could impact more than Kendall’s ability to raise his children, but could also have an impact on the game of baseball itself. Chantel says Jason Kendall is abusing the prescription drug Adderall.
Adderall is a drug that is commonly prescribed to those who are diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder, and it is an amphetamine. The purpose of the drug is to help a patient increase their alertness, concentration, libido and overall cognitive skills.
Really? Adderall? You know, being that Kendall plays baseball, if Chantel really wanted to get under his skin, she’d simply accuse of him taking steroids or HGH. That’s probably do the trick.
As for adderall, well, let’s hope that MLB doesn’t start getting its panties in a bunch over this substance, too, for the very simple fact that it’s pretty tough to “abuse” adderall. I was snorting orange lines the length of pool tables when I was in school, and I turned out just fine. In fact, anyone who’s ever studied hard for a test or needed a quick pick-me-up before a night of drinking has undoubtedly popped a pill or two. It’s just not a big deal, so her accusation is the same as if she accused him of abusing coffee.
You really dropped the ball on this one, Chantel.
Pretty nasty. There just isn’t another sport in the world like hockey. Fighting is tolerated for a very good reason.
In what has to be the most under the radar cheering squad in the NFL this past season, The Seattle Seagals were of the highest quality. I had absolutely no clue that these girls were so incredible.
Normally you hear of the likes of the Laker Girls or Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders when you think of professional squads. Well this year I’m pushing for the Seagals to make names for themselves.
Just one Playboy shoot is all it would take.
Until then, here’s a nice gallery of the Gals in action
If you check out the above pic – which I found over at Ball Don’t Lie – you can see that Ron Artest has shaved his head. Why is that significant? Because just days ago, Artest was sporting a hairstyle the likes of which would have made Dennis Rodman uncomfortable. I guess he realized how absolutely ridiculous it all looked and wanted to go back to looking like a normal human being for a while.
I know what Artest must have been thinking; we’ve all gotten terrible haircuts before, Some haircuts are so bad that you’re not left with any choice but to shave your head and start over. According to the photographer (Mike Trudell), the messages of “defense” are still there, just not nearly as prominent. Guess we’ll have to wait for a better image to find out for sure.
Anyway, the fact that Artest may have some self-awareness as to his look bumps him down a few notches on the crazy meter.
Villanova forward Taylor King has been suspended by the coaches for the Big East Tournament. The reason THEY said “personal issues”. The real reason…. the same reason Mike Krzyzewski asked him to leave Duke University, failed drug test. Speculative reports have said King elected not to take a random drug test conducted by coaches after the Cincinnati game, and just confessed to burning some trees.
Jay Wright needs to step it up a bit here. This isn’t the first time his team has had issues this season. The coaching staff has decided to bench King for the Big East Tourney, well ok. The inmates are starting to run the asylum here, just like tons of programs around the country. They’ll keep their image up with the “personal issues” cover up, but something tells me there will be more news in the future, unfortunately.
The story was yet to be published as of last night. I was very interested to see what press is released about King, who is playing about 20 mins a game this season and didn’t play a minute vs. West Virginia on Saturday. Now the public feels bad for him… “oh man I hope he’s ok!” Don’t worry, he is.
