It’s always a bonus when I can bash Obama and women in the same post.
Many championship teams have visited the White House the past two years, but few have received more superlatives from President Obama than the UConn women’s basketball team.
Obama lauded the Huskies for their 78-game win streak and back-to-back national titles during Monday’s East Room ceremony, calling UConn “the best team in all of sports, any sport, any gender, by far.”
“This team has not lost a game since I was elected president,” he said.
Yikes. It’s pretty clear by now that Obama is a phony when it comes to sports – for a guy who claims to love the White Sox, you think he’d be able to name a few of them and know the proper name of their ballpark (it’s Comiskey, Barry) – so it doesn’t surprise me that he’d call the UConn women the “best team in all of sports.” Whether it’s out of ignorance or for the sake of political correctness is up to you.
But here’s the thing – the UConn women play against…other women. It’s like calling the Praying Mantis the most dominant beast in all of the animal kingdom, any family, and phylum, any species, just because it eats all the other bugs. Or maybe Obama can relate since he throws like a girl.
Ok, I’m done. For now.
Now I hope to God it doesn’t sound racist or anything but the reason I think that these pictures were taken in China is because the Flick user who captured them has the profile name Chenlin Wang. Now I’m no expert in Chinese but I’m 99% sure the name Wang is Chinese. Names like Sun, Beck, Pak are Korean. Names like Hong, Wang, Chong, are Chinese. And then all the names that end in “i” are Japanese. At least that’s what I’ve been told.
So forgive me if I’m wrong and these aren’t Chinese Cheerleaders but I’m pretty sure they are. In any event cheerleading has hit China like wildfire after the Olympics. I guess being trained by us Americans lit a real fire under those skirts.
Within 3 years I’m sure the outfits will be sexier and there will be some kind of cheerleader fetish movies out there. Way to go China! For now there are these photos…..
Do you know how many people misuse the word “literally?” Here’s a time when almost everyone can get it right.
The Marlins pulled Hanley Ramirez out of Monday night’s game against the Arizona Diamondbacks in the second inning after a play in which hit literally booted a ball into the left field corner, then jogged after it.
This isn’t “booted” in baseball parlance, meaning an error on an easy play, either; I mean he reached down to pick up a flare off of Tony Abreu’s bat that landed just beyond his reach in shallow left field and instead, kicked the ball far away from him into the left field corner.
He didn’t hurry after the ball either, and as he took his time chasing after it and picking it up, two runners scored and Abreu ended up on third instead of on first.
“Didn’t hurry” is an understatement. I saw this play and Hanley moved about as fast as constipated sloth. Now, was he hurt? He did foul a ball off his foot in the prior inning, but if he was hurt, why was he in the game? And if he couldn’t run after the ball, why didn’t he just yell for Coughlan to chase it down? It’s no secret that Hanley is a prima donna, but I can’t imagine anyone being such a cocksucker that they’d lollygag after booting a ball the way Hanley did. I’m sure we’ll find out more tomorrow, but I’d be willing to bet anything he sits out this afternoon – either because he’s really hurt, or because it’ll look better for the Marlins if he fakes being hurt.
If he starts, I’ll literally shit my pants.

Barcelona striker Thierry Henry has struck a deal with the New York Red Bulls of the MLS. Barcelona’s season ended yesterday as they clinched La Liga’s crown just ahead of Real Madrid. Henry will play in the World Cup for France this summer then join the Red Bulls shortly after. The 32 year old holds the record for most international goals scored for homeland.
This is interesting, but good news for the MLS. It appears as if it is slowly, but surely drawing more international attention. Due to the fact that most of the top European Club seasons barely overlap that of the MLS we could see more well-known players coming to America. This, of course, would be a tremendous boost for the MLS.
God I hope these subtitles were truthful! Either way this is a legit spaz out. Someone please verify the translations!!!!

You’d think there might have been a little let down yesterday after coming back from 3 games down, and 3 goals down in game 7. There wasn’t…. at all

They swim year round? Not just for the Olympics? Ah gee, who would’ve known?
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Michael Phelps left Charlotte UltraSwim with three medals in four individual events, one narrow loss, and a new sense of motivation.
Phelps wrapped up the weekend by winning the 200-meter individual medley, an event he hadn’t competed in since last summer, by holding off Eric Shanteau in a final test of endurance at Mecklenburg Aquatic Center.
“I wanted to separate myself from Eric in that first 100 meters,” said Phelps, who finished second Saturday in the 100-meter backstroke to Nicholas Thoman. “We were going to see where we were in terms of fitness right there, and we found out in the first 25 meters.
“This weekend gives me motivation, more than anything,” said Phelps, who called his weekend “not great, not terrible.”
And this is buried on the back page of newspapers across the country because when it’s not the Olympics, nobody gives a shit about swimming. Michael Phelps lost a race, which would have been national news last summer, but most people don’t know that Phelps is currently competing.
This kind of annoys me – not because I think people should care about swimming, but because it’s pretty obvious that people fake enjoying certain sports because it’s the Olympics. Not me. I like the basketball and some of the track and field events, but really, how exciting can swimming be? Guess what – races happening now are the same as races happening in the Olympics – a bunch of shaved white guys coasting through the water. It’s boring as shit no matter when the race is held, and people are assholes for pretending that it’s not. If they really cared, they’d be worked up over this Phelps loss. Instead, they don’t even know that Phelps lost – let alone raced – and carry on with their phony lives.
Christ, I’m bitter this afternoon.

Everyone in the world is lining up to suck LeBron’s dick, and to kick things off, here is a clip of famous (?) Clevelanders singing to keep LeBron in Cleveland. I think it’s a take on “We Are the World,” but I start to get dizzy and black out every time Dick Goddard appears on my computer screen. He’s like an Oompa Loompa cross bred with Kain from Poltergeist II.
