It’s easy to get caught up in the games. Sports are a beautiful thing. It’s an even more beautiful thing when athletes give back. We’re talking about professional athletes, who are living a dream, but also helping others. Fortunately, these people get recognized to a certain degree but probably not enough.
The fact of the matter is there are a ton of athletes out there who make a ton of money. More money than a man needs, and they don’t do anything to help others. The good news is there are a ton of athletes that do help others.
Here are the biggest and best….

I can’t think of an organization that needed it more. I like what the Pirates are doing. True hard work. Currently ordering my Andrew McCutchen jersey.

Volleyball is not one of my favorite sports. I guess the spike to the face here is pretty funny, but I’m more concerned with the size of the pool and number of participants. Is this serious? Am I the only person that takes note of this? I mean this looks like the least fuggin’ fun time you could have in a pool aside from drowning.
And it’s not that many of you do (or do you?) but come on folks. Anyone who follows the WWE might know that John Cena was defeated by CM Punk. With all due respect I have no clue who these people are. I know John Cena was in a movie but that’s about all.
I’m so far removed from this it’s not even funny. Give me Hulk Hogan vs. Iron Sheik and then we’re talking. Anyway, I guess the championship belt isn’t really such a big commodity as it may have been back in the day.
Want some fries with that CM?
I guess I have to give in a little bit here. I personally do not like Kim Kardashian at all. She annoys the living sh$t out of me. However, I cannot deny that she looks pretty damn good. She has a body that was blessed by the Gods. Unfortunately, she is one of the most notorious jersey chasers in the history of jersey chasing. As much as that is a turnoff, here are some photos that are a turn-on.
Take a look….
“We all gettin’ Kim Kardashian”… What’s wrong with that? That’s a lie? It’s definitely not a lie, nothing could be more true. Today’s lesson is sometimes we get punished for the truth.
USC Running Back Marc Tyler has been suspended by the team after this interview went public. Model American Citizen Coach Lane Kiffin has decided to suspend the running back for the opener against Minnesota and potentially more games. Judging from the looks of the article linked above Mr. Tyler isn’t a first time offender when it comes to booze. Unfortunately, it was this quote, not the Kardashian quote that got him in hot water with the University…
When asked by TMZ whether he could make more money at USC or in the NFL, Tyler said, “USC, they breaking bread,” making a gesture indicating a large stack of money.
Umm… don’t go there. No comment would have sufficed. Those pesky TMZ reporters.
I’ll never forget the time when I was 11 years old and Steve Sax hit an absolute laser foul ball right into our section at Yankee Stadium. It was aiming right towards a woman’s face and my brother, 17 at the time, sticks out his hand, catches the ball, and saves this woman from a serious dent in her face.
That was the day I first realized that some seats are quite dangerous to sit in. And it ain’t just foul balls either. It can be other things…like bats flying off of players hands.
Speaking of which, here’s an entire gallery of baseball bat flubs….
Don’t you love heading to the stadium when your favorite team is throwing a promotion. You can head home with a souvenir bat, ball, maybe a commemorative t-shirt. Then there are the, well, fun nights like 80′s night or dress like a dipsh$t night. There have been a lot of fun promotional nights in the history of sports, and then there have been some not so fun nights…
Unathletic went on the research trail to find out what teams have failed miserable with promotional events. Not saying we wouldn’t go, but they don’t look like a success on paper.
Take a look….
