Just in case everyone is extremely bored by the lack of sports between yesterday, today, and more than likely tomorrow I did find some entertainment in watching the All-Star Legends Celebrity Softball game. Nothing’s more fun than seeing how truly uncoordinated most people are. Though I gotta say Jon Hamm could definitely hold his own.
But for the most part it was a fun watch. You had guys like Bo Jackson yucking it up at first base and there was definitely a “Rock and Jock” MTV style to the game. What the hell ever happened to Rock and Jock anyway? Does that still happen? I think it does but I’m over 30 and the mere thought of MTV makes me puke in my mouth every single time.
I did however manage to come up with 10 fun highlights from the game..

This topic may get some serious burn in the aftermath of the World Cup, but it deserves it. With the tournament now over, and all that is left to do is reflect, kudos must be given to the host nation of South Africa. For those who were waiting for some kind of massive failure, it never came. Chris Jones wrote a great article on his experience in South Africa and how it effected the lives of those who were there for the month long tournament. You can see that the in spite of everything there is great beauty and charisma throughout the land.
Although Bafana Bafana didn’t last long in the tournament the country never abandoned it’s commitment to the tournament. This was certainly the year Africa thought it would make some noise in the World Cup. As team after team fell, and long after Asamoah Gyan’s ball clanged off the cross bar the same fervor from the first night persevered on. There was something magical about this World Cup, something magical that I hold the country of South Africa directly responsible for……
The best time of the year (other than March Madness) is when summer starts to fade and football starts. Weekends are full of college and pro football. It doesn’t get any better than that. Here are a few players to keep your eye on this College Football Season. Mark Ingram (picture above) is an obvious one. So, here are 5 other guys…..

I’m not going to sugar coat it, that Final was terrible. It wasn’t a very exciting game. Soccer announcers are by far the best to listen to… One announcer said of the game, it was a pig with lipstick on. Sweet. Congrats to Spain.

Best Goals of the World Cup [TotalProSports]
There were some brilliant goals in the 60-plus games in South Africa this year, but this goal just sticks out as my personal favorite. This was just a spectacular blast from 40 yards out. I don’t want to hear about how the Jabulani ball played a role in the flight of the ball. This was just a magnificent shot, with tremendous accuracy.
I think it’s about time we crown a new king in Texas don’t you? With all due respect to the Dallas Cowboys girls, I’m afraid that the Houston Texans have taken the reigns on the hottest gals of the state you don’t mess with.
And now that I really think about it, there’s clearly a reason that the Texans have never really been a contending team. It’s not that they simply suck. I mean could you concentrate with a bunch of those asses in your face at halftime? I sure as hell couldn’t.

Jesse Jackson, in his infinite wisdom, confused one man’s total spaz out with one of the greatest injustices in the history of the world. Y!Sports reported that Jesse Jackson said Dan Gilbert of the Cleveland Cavaliers saw Lebron James as a “runaway slave”.
He speaks as an owner of LeBron and not the owner of the Cleveland Cavaliers,” the reverend said in a release from his Chicago-based civil rights group, the Rainbow PUSH Coalition. “His feelings of betrayal personify a slave master mentality. He sees LeBron as a runaway slave. This is an owner employee relationship—between business partners—and LeBron honored his contract.
Well, this is a tad extreme if you ask me. Lebron James wasn’t working on slave wages Rev. Jackson. Slavery isn’t something you just toss around to make a point in this case. Everybody knows, Dan Gilbert, who is probably a huge asshole, was in the midst of an epic spaz out and was looking to hurt Lebron’s feelings. The guy was trying his best to fire up Cleveland fans and at the same time, insult the shit out of Lebron. Well, he failed at both.
I see no reason to make this a racial issue. Lebron James ran Cleveland. He was highly compensated. If Lebron James is a slave, then I’m somewhere equivalent to a horse that pulls carriages around New York CIty all day. No wonder Tim Frank declined comment. Just let Dan Gilbert spaz out, it’s pure comedy.
And good for you Steve Garvey. In case you missed it, this weekend was host to the Steve Garvey Celebrity Softball game which lends a hand in helping with the fight against Lou Gehrig’s disease. On July 10th the event took place at Pepperdine University where stars like Pete Rose, Jose Canseco, and many others were on display showing their softball skills.
In particular I’m guessing what we didn’t see is Jose Canseco flirting his ass off with the likes of Maria Kanellis. Kanellis is a former (or current, I don’t give a shit) WWE Diva who we’ve all seen naked. I’m very curious how much of a jackass Canseco may have come off ass. “Yeah I used to do steroids Maria. I still do. The thing is that yeah, they make your balls shrink but what they don’t tell you is that the shaft gets huge and veiny. Does that turn you on?”
In any event, kudos to Garvey for the charity. P.S. Carl Weathers played catcher!
