March 11 signaled the second birthday of the Slanch Report! We've served up over 1 million pages in our time and quite literally couldn't have done it without you! So thanks!
The Vancouver Olympics may be over but that doesn't mean we should forget the hot athletes who participated in them. And just think, London is only 2 years away!
Beatriz Recari, 22, is a Spanish golfer in her rookie season on the LPGA tour. Eliza Dushku is one of the best looking women in Hollywood despite avoiding tabloid scandals. Doppelgangers? You betcha!
Two scuba divers were swimming along when they noticed below them a shark with something stuck around it. Moving down to investigate the realized it was an Aerobie frisbee and after a vigorous wrestling match with the shark, they managed to get it off and the shark swam off. Presumably he didn't even say "thanks," but that doesn't surprise me, everyone knows sharks are dicks.
Neat! Also, I LOVE the two awkwardly holding the Aerobie as they go through the interview.
Some goals are luck and some are manufactured, Evgeny Artyukhin's goal Thursday against the Islanders was the latter. Taking the puck deep in his own zone, Artyukhin rushes up the ice, weaves his way past the defense, crosses to the goal and finishes what he started. I call that a highlight reel goal.
Say you bring a girl over to your place for some wine and fun, if you want to impress her -- and get her to take her clothes off -- there's only one vintage you should reach for: Longball Cellars.
Through Charity Wines, Longball Cellars has paired itself with some of baseball's best to create special varietals to honor the players and do some good too. Want to get the night moving quick? Open up a bottle of ZinfandEllsbury, a 2006 California Zin that will benefit Project Bread.
Maybe things are progressing and you want the F-bombs flying between you and your lady, why not uncork a bottle of Chardon-K, the Josh Beckett line that benefits his eponymous foundation.
Perhaps your lady-friend is a bit more...mature, you can always open up a bottle of the Tim Wakefield CaberKnuckle, a fine Chilean varietal sure to dance across the palate.
And if things start to get overly emotional and she starts taking everything personal, you'd be a fool to not open up a magnum of SauvignYoouuk Blanc.
And if you're hoping for a blowhard, Schilling Schardonnay might be the right bottle for you.
The wines all benefit charity and there are also ones for several other teams and sports, so, check it out, get drunk, get laid and help charity too.
Derrick Rose is so quick and has such a fast first step that it makes it almost impossible for defenders to stay on him when he drives to the hoop. Considering his passing ability, outside shot game and he's a nightmare for the defense, and just think, he's still getting better. Scary!
Here he absolutely EXPLODES to the rim and slams one down with authority; the announcer also makes an excellent call, everyone's A game showed up for this one -- except Zach Randolph...
Using melted iron bars and plastic balls, some enterprising young men in the slums of India have taken up the gentlemen's game of golf. Without the proper courses around them, they've taken to playing all over their neighborhoods, using roofs, pools and anything else to make a course. Check out the full gallery of photos over at Totally Cool Pix because they're gorgeous shots and well worth your time.
It's been far too long since Milan Lucic dropped his gloves and showed off that tough-guy side of himself. Picking out Colton Orr, one of the best fighters in the league and owner of 17 fighting majors on the season before this fight, Lucic goes after him right after a face-off, leaving little doubt what his intentions were.
Where I'm disappointed is that Lucic looks like he had the advantage early on and then he seems to back down, he starts to get the jersey up and then pushes it back down, then taking several big rights from the burly Orr. I don't get it. Press the issue, keep pummeling! Curious.
Beatriz Recari is an LPGA tour rookie this season who needs your help getting into a tournament that is determining the spots via Internet voting. Unlike many of the women in the LPGA, Beatriz is a 100% legit, no-joke SMOKESHOW. The 22-year old Spanish golfer could easily become one of the most marketable players in the LPGA thanks to both her skill on the course and her great looks.
One of the most underrated hotties out there, Eliza Dushku never seems to get the appropriate amount of attention. Besides the beginnings of her relationship with former NBA player Rick Fox, she is rarely in the tabloids and the Boston-born stunner stays off the radar. It's a shame because she is simply outrageously good-looking. Also, we almost went to high school together, so that ups her hotness quotient too.
After receiving permission from his manager, and presumably getting his mommy to sign his permission slip, Houston Astros slugger Carlos Lee is missing today and tomorrow's spring training games in order to head over to Houston for the annual Livestock Show and Rodeo. At least he has a good excuse!
Bernardo Fallas of the Houston Chroniclereports that Lee is "an avid cattle rancher with sprawling properties in his native Panama as well as in Wharton County" and "left camp after Wednesday's workouts to attend the rodeo, where he has 11 entries."
John Wall is clearly going to be one of the top 3 picks in the NBA draft, and depending on how good his tournament is, might just be the number one selection. The Kentucky freshman is incredibly fast, reminiscent of another former Kentucky guard, Rajon Rondo. However, where Rondo is creative and an excellent passer, Wall adds those skills to an impressive offensive repertoire too. Take for instance this impressive steal and then one-handed lefty dunk that he throws down over Georgia's Travis Leslie. Wow.
Being an alum can sometimes help in getting tickets to your school's sporting events, being a famous alum makes it almost guaranteed, and being a porn star means you get court-side seats. Samantha Ryan, who only recently returned to shooting boy/girl scenes, has appeared in over 140 various pornos and is also a former student at the University of Kansas -- the alumni newsletter must LOVE her updates.
Thanks to assistant coach Kurtis Townsend, Ryan got her seats to the Kansas/Kansas State regular season finale, and she was appreciative, tweeting "Big thanks you know who for gettin me the tix from Coach T! Best Birthday Present Ever! :) Can you say, I owe ya one!" Sweet!
Let that be a lesson to all of you who DON'T do pornography, it can get you tickets to all the sweet events in sports, I can't believe my career counselors never mentioned that before. I have to rethink some things...
