I guess a couple of NIT Tournaments and a first round NCAA Tournament loss will mess with your head.
GAINESVILLE, Fla. — Florida could have another player leaving early.
Forward Alex Tyus, the team’s leading rebounder, plans to make himself eligible for the NBA draft. The junior from St. Louis has not filed early entry paperwork, but team spokesman Fred Demarest said Wednesday he plans to do so this week.
Tyus doesn’t plan to hire an agent, meaning he will have until May 8 to withdraw his name and return to school for his senior season. The Gainesville Sun first reported Tyus’ decision.
Really, dude? You want to enter the NBA draft? Alex Tyus is way too small to play power forward in the NBA and wasn’t really that great in college. I’m guessing unless you’re a rabid SEC fan, you don’t even know who he is. This is a pretty crappy decision on the part of Alex, and I would be willing to bet anything he’s not even drafted. Hopefully he can earn some coin in Europe.
It’s not like Joakim Noah or Al Horford or Corey Brewer gained anything by sticking around another year. Sure, they were juniors when drafted, too, but they were all much better than Alex was when they were sophomore. Horford was even better as a freshman.
Remember this little guy who kicked ass on the internet with the famous “Miracle” speech? The folks at Fenway brought him in to juice up the crowd. And the kid delivered. Way to go buddy!
In: NBA
Nothing needs to be said, just watch the video. You’re welcome.
If any of you follow the Central Hockey League, then I would guess many of you know who the Tulsa Oilers are. But did you know they also have a kick ass squad of ladies cleaning the ice during games? The famed “ice girl” isn’t just an NHL thing. The ice girl is extending into other leagues and is also extending other things if you know what I mean. Ba dum ching!
Seriously though, these women provide for a much healthier Hockey experience. When your stuck watching a 0-0 game with absolutely no action you can at least be rest assured that these ladies will come out a few times to cheer you up.
Kind of like the Knicks City Dancers. More of the Oilers Ice Girls after the jump
Look at this guy: a sick tan that is two or three bed sessions away from orange, gelled hair, a cross around his neck, and even a chest tattoo. I don’t want to be too hard on him since he’s already racked up a pair of saves for my fantasy squad, but Jesus, Brian Wilson could easily be creeping on girls and GTL-ing with Pauly D and the Situation on the Jersey Shore. Trevor Hoffman came out to Hell’s Bells, but Wilson better be coming out to some Benny Benassi while pumping his fist and beating up that beat. GTL, son. GTL.

It’s been well-documented that women’s basketball has made leaps and bounds over the past decade. It is slowly, very slowly, becoming more like the men’s game. However, incidents like this set it back a few centuries.
Imagine if your the Cubs. You haven’t won a World Series in over 100 years. You have wasted money on dozens of players. You have an amazingly forgiving and resilient fan base that is dying inside. Now, you’ve decided to celebrate Opening Day at Wrigley by hanging up huge photos of players around the stadium. So who did they decide to hang… Well, here is a list and description of the picture
Photos with description:
1.) Carlos Marmol – Picture was taken right after he walked home a run
2.) Aramis Ramirez – Picture slightly slanted on a decline, symbolizing his career. Note: that is a sling for his shoulder not one of those cool arm sleeves NBA players wear.
3.) Alfonso Soriano – Picture was taken of him naked rolling around in the money he stole from the organization
4.) Ryan Dempster – Picture is one of him and Marissa Miller, this way people bother to look at it.
5.) Derrek Lee -Picture was taken as he was falling out of a chair and hurting his back
6.) Ted Lilly – This is a blank picture because he’s not even there he’s on the DL.
God what a sad state of affairs…
This is sad and hilarious at the same time. First with the double knockout, then the poor guy falling all over the place. I feel bad for him because he keeps trying, but damn does he look foolish. He’s got a lot of heart, but for all intents and purposes is the butt of the joke today.
