This is just too perfect.
When The Sporting News conducted a midseason poll in 2009, questioning 99 players throughout the NFL to provide some snazzy superlatives, new Dolphins guard Richie Incognito was tagged with a title that has followed him for months.
Dirtiest Player in the NFL.
In all, he committed 11 personal fouls in four seasons with the Rams. The league got so fed up with his excessiveness, they hit him with a $50,000 fine after he committed two personal fouls in one game — and also got into an argument with his head coach.
Does anyone else find it amazingly ironic that the guy named Incognito was named by his peers as the dirtiest player in the league?
We all know John Wall, Wes Johnson, Jacob Pullen, and Da’Sean Butler. There are some players in the Sweet Sixteen that deserve some attention that may not be getting their due. Here are 5 unknown players still Dancing….
Wow. I mean double wow. Yes, he’s horrible and secondly he’s Asian. This guy rules.
I was planning on writing that for the first time in the history of soccer, a player’s reaction to an injury was actually proportional to the injury itself. But then I watched the rest of this clip and saw that the goalie was being carried off on a stretcher…for a broken arm. I guess they cut off the part when he’s loaded into a hearse. Jesus Christ, only in soccer.
There’s just something about Long Island that appeals to me. I grew up there. I go there all the time. I have to admit there’s almost a Boston like feeling when you go there. Thick accents, a sort of toughness that you don’t see in upscale city neighborhoods and bars. It’s just a different place.
Don’t get me wrong, sometimes I want to vomit. But there are other times when I just want to throw down and get hammered with the chicks that know how to party. And speaking of these chicks, I think no other cheerleading time encompasses this “toughness” than the Islanders Ice Girls.
They have Long Island written all over them…
Stephon Marbury was named the MVP of the Chinese basketball all-star game. Yeah, well, when I was in college, I used to dominate all the Asian kids, too.
The former Minnesota, New Jersey, Phoenix, New York Knicks and Boston point guard, twice an NBA All Star, scored 30 points at Beijing’s Wukesong Arena to lift his North team to a 133-121 victory over the South Sunday.
More than just his scoring, it was his array of “no-look passes, alley-hoops and mid-court three-pointers” that won Marbury Most Valuable Player honors and rescued what had been “quite a dull game,” according to the Xinhua news agency.
A game with no defense in which flashy plays are celebrated? That pretty much sums up Marbury’s career. I’m happy the dude is having fun and has avoided killing himself so far (he’s a great death pool pick, if you’re into that sort of thing), but getting worked up over dominating a bunch of Chinese dudes in basketball is just silly. And in an all-star game where nobody plays defense and every play is a sloppy fast break? You should be ashamed of yourself if you can’t manage a double-double.
There’s something strange going on in this year’s tournament. (See above). For a slow, Unathletic, white guy like myself it brings a tear to my eye. It’s not a racist thing at all, it’s just nice to see old school, white, shootershave a swan song in the game of basketball. Trust me, my entire life I’ve wished I was athletic as the brothers.

Your bracket is screwed. Your wife, who knows nothing about basketball, has a better shot at winning the pool. It’s time to root for total chaos and the underdogs.
