Don't let the moniker fool you, Glenn Rivers is NOT a doctor, he doesn't even play one on TV; he's too busy being the head coach of the Boston Celtics.
However, lack of proper medical training doesn't stop Glenn from checking in on his former player, Glen Davis, after Big Baby rolled his ankle.
So that's fun.

It's not just players who get to go to the Pro Bowl, every year one cheerleader from each team is selected too! So, let's do what we do best, celebrate these fine women and their athleticism with a slideshow where we can ogle their bodies and pretend that we'd be able to muster up even a single coherant word if we were to meet them in person.
Daddy likes.
I don't know if the Patriots and Giants cheerleaders get replaced on the squad but I am willing to have someone send me to Hawaii so that I can find out...

Continuing on our tour of "Athlete's Homes are Far Far Far Nicer Than Yours" the Slanch Report's latest stop brings us to the home of Heath Bell. The former Padre and newly signed Miami Marlins closer recently filmed a commercial for the company that designed his backyard and it's pretty great.
First you get Bell's awkward on-camera presence where he clearly doesn't know what to say, repeats himself multiple times and comes off as inarticulate. Then you get the backyard itself which is pretty awesome (although those fires around the pool are a bit tacky for me), the key though is the incredible grill setup (complete with benihana grill) that I very much want to use to host a BBQ.
So, Heath, whaddya say, July 4, your place, I'll bring my friends, you provide the food and booze? Split the weed?
Hookers are BYO?

While All World receiver (and owner of the best nickname in football, Megatron) Calvin Johnson isn't able to participate in the Pro Bowl due to a nagging injury, being a good teammate, he flew down all of the Detroit Lions receivers to join him (by private jet no less) in Hawaii, which frankly is awesome.
Enjoying their time together, the Lions receivers seem to have formed a scooter gang and are tearing it up in the Aloha State. Sounds fun!
Now that's a tough group I wouldn't want to meet in a dark alley!
Then again, as Nate Burleson points out:

A mere year ago Alex Rodriguez moved out of his Central Park West rental and into a full floor $5.5 million apartment at The Rushmore on Riverside Drive in New York. Well, that was fun while it lasted.
Put on the market in October, A-Rod's home sold for $8M, netting him a couple million in profit, not bad for only a couple months of habitation. The all white apartment, which features sweeping views of the Hudson River (all the way down to the Statue of Liberty) was definitely a guy's apartment, with an all black pool table, prints of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe series and a modern but simple kitchen.
A-Rod probably had too many memories of Cameron Diaz in the apartment and that's why he sold...
Unfortunately, the A-Rod as a centaur paintings are not included in the sale.

It's a sad day for all of us who held out hope to potentially date Miss Hooters International 2005; the lovely Anna Burns is reportedly off the market after her boyfriend, New England Patriots All Pro receiver Wes Welker proposed to her after two years of dating.
The cute couple has it all; look at that face, those eyes that pierce your soul and make you want to do anything for them, the body, Wes has it all. And she's hot too. I guess. If you're into that kind of thing.
Congratulations!

Blake Griffin's dunking skills garner most of the attention but (unlike certain centers who play for the Orlando Magic whose names rhyme with Schmite Boward) Griffin has also spent plenty of time working on his low post game and developing some moves to increase his scoring chances. This double-clutch reverse over Andrew Bynum is a perfect example of the evolution of Griffin's game.
Sorry Kobe, Blake is going to be the King of LA very VERY soon.

A week after a silly string incident with a Boston Bruins fan resulted in a physical confrontation, the Tampa Bay Lightning have announced that Kelly Frank, the person behind the costume, has been terminated and will no longer perform as Thunderbug. Unfortunately, Thunderbug as a mascot will continue.
While the team claims that the incident with the Bruins fan wasn't the deciding factor, they aren't commenting on the exact reasons for Frank's dismissal.
This marks the second mascot dismissal for Frank, she—who has previously worked in spring training with the Toronto Blue Jays—was fired as the Tampa Bay Rays mascot Raymond following the 2008 season.
Sad face! Just goes to show, I guess, don't mess with Boston fans.

Poor Billy Cundiff, his missed field goal against the Patriots lost the game for the Ravens and now, even the merchandise people on NFL.com are making fun of him, at least when it comes to his jersey.
Oooh, BURN!

The rules of basketball are quite clear, substitutions cannot be done on the fly nor may players just enter the court from their team's bench, regardless of how many men are currently on the court. Orlando's Jason Richardson either doesn't know these rules, or simply doesn't care, because while the Magic where being SHELLACKED by the Celtics, seeing only 4 Magic players on the court, Richardson jumped off the bench and right onto the court and started playing defense.
Even worse than Richardson's flagrant disregard for the rules of basketball, the refs DID NOTHING ABOUT IT, proving once more that when it comes to ALL professional sports—and for this I'm also including the WWE—the NBA has by far the worst and most rigged officiating.
