Click on photo to recap Ethier continuing his streak
It’s a good achievement. I’m like you, it’s not very interesting, but we try to give respect to things like this on Unathletic. Ethier and Kemp are studs, it’s a shame the Dodgers suck. I’ll spare you the suspense, he’s not breaking Joe D’s record.

I decided to keep this week’s Criminal Showdown relatively lighthearted. There was a shooting, and some other crimes, but we’re going to stick with the substance abusers. Remember class, if you drink the booze (or hit the pipe) you loose!
Derek Lowe (Pitcher – Atlanta Braves) – Derek Lowe was arrested for “racing” his car and driving under the influence last week. For those of you who don’t remember, D. Lowe has a history of bad behavior. He got into some trouble up in Boston too. The dipshit was racing his car with another car while he was wasted. They are currently running tests to see if he’s brain dead. Don’t worry Atlanta fans, he pitched 3 days later, sufficient time to recover from a hangover.
Chris Simms – (Quarterback – Tennessee Titans) – I know, I didn’t think he still played either. Back in July Chris was arrested for driving while stoned. This week his court case is being held. This is just hilarious. His lawyer is saying that everyone else in the car was stoned and smoking marijuana and Simms wasn’t. Lawyers are dead fuckin serious sometimes. The account of the story doesn’t look that way….
Verdict – I have to go with Simms on this one. The dude and his buddies got completely stoned in his SUV, was driving like a maniac, and then had his lawyer, who allegedly graduated from law school, say he wasn’t smoking it was the other guys. I’m waiting for him to say that Simms had a gas mask on in the car.
This video is a classic. I had to bring it back. It just cracks me up. Both guys look like they would rape your mother, but the kiss! WTF is that move! Shit makes me laugh. A kiss on the lips. I mean what would you do? I probably would start swinging too.
Have you seen a chick crush a thong like that? Well, you probably had, but more likely than not she isn’t as gorgeous as Daniella. She’s an interesting case. She was always one of the hottest swimsuit models. Every guy would flip through the pages and most would pick her, but what did she get out of it. Nothing. I’ve gotta help her go big….
Take a look…..
I really don’t have a preference with who wins the Lakers vs. Mavericks series. I do, however, really care who wins the Heat vs. Celtics series. I desperately want the Celtics to win. If the Heat beat the Celtics you can pretty much put them in the NBA Finals. If they win the NBA Championship, and I have to see Lebron and Wade celebrating I’ll seriously cry.
Things aren’t looking good for both the Lakers and the Celtics. The Lakers have looked terrible for the most part, including last night’s choke job to the Mavericks. The blew a 16 point lead, and looked indifferent like they have all postseason. My guess is something is internally wrong in their locker room.
The Celtics, on the other hand, look old. Don’t get it twisted, beating the Knicks with ease means absolutely NOTHING. The Knicks put forth the worst effort I’ve ever seen in my life. My guess is they just had a bad game, but it was a bad game that raised flags in many areas. The Heat looked younger, more athletic, faster, hungrier, all of the above. The Celts know they need to improve in Game 2 if they don’t I’m going to be very upset.
We’re going with the emotional stuff today friends. This post was inspired by something I saw last week so I decided to run with it. There have been so many emotional interviews in sports in the past, I just decided to go with some great ones made by future Hall of Famers. That narrows it down pretty good.
Enjoy watching some of these interviews. Some are fairly long, but for the most part they are all great watches.

I loved what the Lions did. If Fairley doesn’t act like a screw up, he could be a huge pick. Their defensive line is ridiculously good now with just two guys. The Bucs and Broncos did well too. The Cowboys, on the other hand, haha

Heeeee’s baaaack.. Yup, you guessed it. Josh Tomlin made the cut for Fantasy Baseball Spot Start of the Week again. This week he goes up against Jeff Karstens of the Pittsburgh Pirates. Last week we featured Tomlin vs. Phil Coke. We went with Tomlin, and he did well going 6 innings giving up 2 runs, with a W, and a WHIP of 1.00. We’ll take it….
Jeff Karstens (Pittsburgh vs. San Diego, 5/3/11) – I like Jeff in this spot vs. the Padres. The Padres aren’t the no-hitting Padres of before, but they still are no offensive juggernaut. He hasn’t had much success vs. them in the past, but he’s turned in two good ones in a row about to make it three.
Josh Tomlin (Cleveland vs. Oakland, 5/4/11) – Perhaps until Joshy is over 40% owned in leagues he’ll be on here every week. Why not ride the train man? Josh has been fantastic this season and he gets a shot at the no-hitting Oakland A’s and Trevor Cahill. Bet the Under and spot start Joshy and hold him for pete’s sake.
Verdict: Um, you guessed it. Josh gets the nod again, and there should be no argument. He’s not over 40% owned. WHIP under 1.00, a 2.45 ERA, and a 4-0 record. He’s a keeper my dudes.
