Okay, so they are beach soccer cheerleaders, but still. This is kinda sexy!
Amazing that people still give a shit about athletes using marijuana, but here we go:
According to one veteran club personnel man, 10 or 11 players who carry first-round draft grades on their board this year have been red-flagged for marijuana use in college, an estimate echoed by two clubs’ head coaches. Another NFL head coach estimated that “one-third” of the players on his club’s draft board had some sort of history with marijuana use and would thus require an extra level of evaluation as part of the pre-draft scouting process.
“Marijuana use is almost epidemic, with more guys having tested positive for marijuana at some point in their college background than I can ever remember,” said a longtime team personnel man. “It’s almost as if we are having to figure out a new way to evaluate it as part of the character and background report, because it’s so prevalent. There’re enough instances of it that it’s hard to know how to set your board. You can’t throw out that many guys. You have to go case-by-case and do your homework on them.”
How out of touch can these guys be? An “epidemic?” Here, I’ll save you the trouble of how to factor marijuana use into the evaluation of a player – DON’T. Just disregard it completely. I’m serious – every fucking player smokes or has smoked pot at some point, and it has zero to do with character. In fact, I’d be more worried about the dude who’s never smoked pot, as he’s the abnormal one who may have a difficult time adjusting.
All these years, and still nothing learned from when Randy Moss was drafted.
If hockey only consisted of rough hits and stuff like this then I wouldn’t mind. It’s just kind of sucky that over an hour of the game is dudes skating and passing around the puck only to score a few times per game. Oh well.
Not gonna lie – I thought he’d be a lot goofier than this. I guess the lesson, as always, is never never underestimate Kurt Warner.
It’s the CFL and if you’re gonna be on a team worth talking about the Argos are certainly one with a great history. They are always one of the elite teams of the league and when it comes to their cheerleading they do not mess around.
And by not messing around I mean holding grueling tryouts on a stage where a dude with dreadlocks is one of the judges. Oh yeah, that’s right, a dude in dreadlocks.
So if you weren’t in the Toronto area on March 20th then luckily I am providing some of the tryout moments for you today.

Because, you know, it was such a great idea to get him in the first place.
Joel Sherman of the New York Post believes the Mets are shopping OF Gary Matthews Jr., “and the Reds could be a possibility.”
The Mets acquired Matthews Jr. from the Angels in January for Brian Stokes, and are only responsible for paying $2 million of the money due to him the next two seasons.
Buyer’s remorse much? Of course the Mets want to get rid of Matthews, but who on Earth is going to want him? His best years were fueled by HGH, and those years weren’t very good, anyway. I mean, when you acquire a guy for Brian Stokes and don’t have to pay him much, doesn’t that say enough about his value? What’s next, the Mets are going to try and package Mike Jacobs and Fdernando Tatis? This isn’t an 18-team fantasy league, Minaya, this is Major League Baseball. Stop embarassing yourself.
Manon Rheaume was the first ever female to see time in an NHL game. Granted it was an exhibition game, but it still counts as an appearance. She appeared in two games for the Lightning, one in 1992, and the other in 1993. Both were preseason games in which she was pulled halfway through. (Pretty common in NHL pre-season)
The Lightning later admitted it was more of a publicity stunt to gain awareness of the expansion team. Nonetheless, it really took off and her popularity blossomed. I’m sure she’s not upset about it because she’s milked it for all it was worth with books and appearances. She’s done just about everything but pose for Playboy and Penthouse despite being offered:(
If you think about the four major sports, the only opportunity for a woman is probably a goalie in the NHL. Football, no. Basketball, no. Baseball, hmmm no. I know never say never, but I really do not think I will see another female in men’s professional sports while I am alive. So give her credit for getting in a pre-season game, and also for being really cute. Keep in mind that picture is from the early nineties!

The Yanks rotation is pretty formidable with CC, AJB, Pettitte, Vazquez, and Hughes. They will be a top rotation, but still behind their arch rival Sox.
