Stephen Strasburg is a no-doubt star, so far, but it has been one place that has driven all the coverage, MLB Network, the people most responsible for Strasburg's national emergence and their first network-made star.

Diego Forlán is a 31-year-old striker on the Uruguayan National Team who scored two goals in his team's match against the host South Africans. Sig Hansen is a tough-as-nails no-nonsense Norwegian crab fisherman on the Deadliest Catch. They share more than just a passing resemblance.

In baseball, every day is a new opportunity to see something that has never happened before. Throwing the 20th perfect game in MLB history, Roy Halladay's perfection was also 20 days after Dallas Braden's, making this the first season in baseball HISTORY to feature two perfect games. Awesome.

hall_davis_smOn Monday the Washington Redskins traded a conditional draft pick to the St. Louis Rams for linebacker Hall Davis. He participated in one practice Tuesday morning and then was released.

Back in June the Rams signed Davis to a 4-year contract.

Talk about shrewd personnel moves; that's some bang for your buck!

Last year's semi-final at the US Open saw Roger Federer hit what he termed the "best shot of his life" when he hit an in-between the legs against Novak Djokovic. Wasting no time, this year Federer in his first-round match against Brian Dabul hits an even BETTER shot, for a winner no less, between his legs. The big Swiss fella is pretty good at this tennis thing...

 

 
Golfer's Miscue Leads to Wildfires

While playing a round in Irvine, California a golfer's errant swing has touched off a 12-acre forest fire drawing in over 150 firefighters. It seems that the unnamed golfer hit a shot into the rough, when he went to hit it out his club struck a rock instead and caused a spark that caught in the grass, burning the rough, then the vegetation next to the course and then two dry hillsides beyond.

The golfer was not charged with a crime but that has to be at LEAST a two stroke penalty right?

Truck KOs Iowa Football Player

When the University of Iowa football team takes the field on Saturday for their opener against Eastern Illinois they'll be doing so without offensive lineman Josh Koeppel. While he is expected to return to the field soon, the senior is still recovering from a horrific-looking motorcycle accident.

As a police car rolled up to an intersection with its camera continually rolling, it managed to catch Koeppel riding a small motorcycle and a Ford F150 -- Built Tough! -- turned into him and sent Koeppel flying. Koeppel was not wearing a helmet but somehow, according to his coach Kirk Ferentz only received "scrapes, bruises, significant soreness."

Iceland's Best Export: Soccer Celebrations

The last time we saw the Stjarnan soccer club of Iceland they were celebrating goals with an awesome fishing homage; well they're back at it coming up with new, creative ways of celebrating their scores. This time they decide to drop the kids off at the pool.

It's pretty good, I certainly appreciate their creativity and willingness to have fun but in my opinion it in no way matches their fishing masterpiece.

 

 
Sex Doll Race in Russia Turns 8

About 40 miles out of St. Petersburg, Russia over 450 competitors took place in the 8th annual Bubble Baba Challenge in teh Losevo Rapids of the Vuoksa River. In the race competitors take a three-minute plunge riding high atop blow-up doll sex toys.

With the riders giving names to their steeds like "Floating Piggy," "Unstoppable Chick," Cuddly Female Racoon," "Big Tit Excess," and "Indefatigable" and the race operating under the motto "A Rubber Babe is More Than Just a Vehicle," clearly the event is not taken super seriously.

Participants don't need to be in any particularly good shape in order to race, although they are required to pass an alcohol test before they begin. If riders don't want to use a human-form as their raft they may opt for a giant rubber penis or an inflatable animal of a similar size to the dolls. The other required equipment includes wet suits, life vests and helmets, useful considering how dangerous the Vuoksa rapids can be.

Cardinals Editor Lets Out Some Emotion

After the St. Louis Cardinals dropped a close game to the lowly Houston Astros and J.A. Happ clearly the copy-editor over at the team's offical MLB site was disgusted with the play on the field. Who can blame him or her, after all, 2 measly hits off Happ? That IS shit.

Shoes Off to Inteview DeAngelo Hall Please
Written by slanch   
Tuesday, 31 August 2010 11:52

During preseason football reporters are desperate for any storyline they can latch onto as readers interest piques and actual events are few and far between. As well, many of the players find themselves being interviewed far more than they are normally during the season. Washington Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall found himself on the other end of Kelli Johnson's microphone after the team's Friday night preseason game.

Faced with interviewing a slew of athletic specimens, Johnson added some high heels to her attire in order to make her appearance on TV look better, DeAngelo though didn't care for her increased height. Hall, who checks in at 5'11" made her take off the heels to interview him so that she didn't appear taller than him. Hey, a cornerback's game is all about swagger and how's he supposed to command respect when he's getting dwarfed by blonde reporters?

"Did you actually get Kelli Johnson to take her heels off for that interview?" Chick Hernandez asked Hall during Comcast SportsNet's post-game show.

"I did I did," he admitted. "She was too tall. If I was 6 feet like [Carlos Rogers], I wouldn't have to do that, but I'm 5-11, so she definitely had to take them heels off for me."

"He demands I do this every time," Johnson pointed out.

"She ain't about to make me look bad," Hall said.

Spikes Manager Gets Livid, Steals First Base
Written by slanch

Baseball announcers love to say after a manager gets thrown out that he's "going to get his money's worth," but I don't think anyone has ever lived up to that statement quite like Gary Robinson, manager of the State College Spikes, a Single A affiliate of the Pirates. After coming out to argue a hit batter -- Robinson believed the ball hit the bat, not the hitter -- and arguing for a minute Robinson heads back to the dugout only to get tossed from the game. Infuriated, he runs to home plate, kicks dirt on it and then with his hands rubs dirt all over the plate, making a nice little pile. He was not done.

Showing some hustle he runs down the first base line, picks up the base, takes a Sharpie out of his pocket and autographing it before handing it to a fan in the front row.

Classic!

 

 
There's a New Bog Snorkeling Record!
Written by slanch   
Monday, 30 August 2010 19:41

The best time ever in a bog snorkeling race was 1 minute and 38.15 seconds but over the weekend that record was SMASHED by Dan Morgan, a Brecon, UK resident who bested it by over 8 seconds! What a day to be alive!

The race consists of participants swimming 120 yards in a mud and water-filled trench with flippers but without using any standard swimming strokes. Before the race began, the chairman of the competition said he thought a new record might just be set as the bogs had been cleaned for the first time in 10 years.

Is there really any better time to be alive than now?
