D-Wade Plays 1-on-5
I don’t have any idea where this is from, who is playing or anything else that would help clarify this clip, but all I know is that this is an excellent way to celebrate scoring a goal. It’s just a shame no one was there to see it.

Buffalo Bills fans have lived through bad season after bad season, their heyday at the early 90s is a football lifetime away but all is not lost for Buffalonians, at least arrests at the game are down! As this headline from the Buffalo News announces:
Can’t argue with that! After only 14 arrests at the game the local police chief, Andrew Benz said “That’s about half than what it’s been running. I don’t know what to tell you.”
Just because their team is mired in abject wretchedness doesn’t mean the fans aren’t still clever. Take Bryan Bendo,Steven Henry and James Hester, three Canadians who “borrowed” a golf cart and rode it to the gate. A Bills employee had reported the theft of the cart and all three were arrested after rolling up to gate 1. That’s some balls there.
Hey, hang in there Buffalo, at least you still have… um… MTV filmed that shitty Frats and Sororities show there…
You have to love local advertising, usually it looks like it is filmed on a household camcorder from 1996 with a script that was written by the 3rd graders of Ms. Sybil’s class but this ad from before the Chargers/Raiders game this past Sunday is simply too good to pass up. Sure, the imagery is more than a bit repetitive but the end tag-line more than makes up for it.
After all, what group of fans needs bail bondsmen more often than Raiders fans?

Some Auto Erotica — Don’t Choke!
Now I’m not much of a car guy, my last car was a Corolla after all, but for those of you out there who are into this sort of thing, here is some incredible hot car porn for you. These are some super-luxury private garages and exotic car collections that’ll make even someone not that into cars drool with envy and desire. If someone would just give me a couple million bucks I could make one of these garages and I promise I’ll take pictures of it for you guys to enjoy as I fill it with sweet rides. The line to give me money forms to the right.
I must say that these all-glass ones where the car is parked in the living room are pretty goddamn sick. Although it is a bit depressing when you see cars living in far far far nicer places than where I get to sleep. There’s a TON more photos at the link below if you’re so inclined to torture yourself with things that most people never get a chance to own.

Manu Ginobli is Batman
You couldn’t script this better; Halloween featured a full slate of games in the NBA, including one between the Spurs and Kings that featured a surprise flying guest, a bat! In the first quarter the flying mammal swooped down onto the court. While the Spurs mascot tried to corral the creature with a net it took the incredibly fast hands of the Spurs’ Manu Ginobili who, with one quick slap, knocked the bat out of the air and to the ground, so it could be removed from the arena.

Wow.
Andre Agassi’s publicists are doing an excellent job of marketing his upcoming autobiography; first they released an excerpt where he talks about doing crystal meth and now he’s admitting that his long flowing hairstyle that he was famous for in the 90s was, in fact, a wig.
If we can’t count on honesty from our tennis stars our society is already lost.
In his 1990 French Open final (his first Grand Slam final) Agassi’s was concerned before the match “not for victory, but that my hairpiece would not fall off”, he writes in “Open”.
As his hair started falling out Agassi faced an inner struggle, “Every morning I would get up and find another piece of my identity on the pillow, in the wash basin, down the plughole.”
“I asked myself: you want to wear a toupee? On the tennis court? I answered myself; what else could I do?”
That French Open final was especially frightening for Agassi because the wig began to fall apart after he took a shower the night before. In a panic, Agassi and his brother pinned and clipped the wig back together in a slap-dash job that he wasn’t sure if it would hold.
“With each leap, I imagine [the wig] falling into the sand. I imagine millions of spectators move closer to their TV sets, their eyes widening and, in dozens of dialects and languages, ask how Andre Agassi’s hair has fallen from his head.”
His then-wife Brooke Shields finally convinced him to move on from the wig.
“She said I should shave my head,” he said. “It was like suggesting I should have all my teeth out.
“Nevertheless, I thought for a few days about it, about the agonies it caused me, the hypocrisy and lies.”
Agassi’s hair wasn’t real! I don’t know what to believe anymore, I feel like my whole childhood was a lie. I don’t think I could be more surprised than if you told me Ray Bourque spent the entire 1990s shooting heroin and was a highly successful art thief in the offseason.

Ah the cheap shot, a valuable part of football, especially college football where youthful exuberance, lack of talent and just being a douche coalesce. University of Florida linebacker Brandon Spikes is expected to be a top pick in this year’s NFL draft, but that doesn’t stop him from viciously going after Georgia running back Washaun Ealey’s eyes during the tackle.
Look, I get that gouging an eye is fun, but it’s lame and cheap too. I’m going to assume Washaun has really pretty eyes and Brandon just wanted to be able to look into them every day.
Bob Errey on the Pittsburgh Penguins telecast wanted to let his viewers know what was needed in order to score a goal. It turns out the answer is “ass.” Now we know!
Recent Cuban defector Aroldis Chapman has a 100 MPH fastball from the left side and is a free agent, his agent is looking for a contract reportedly in the $40 million range. As part of the early stages, Aroldis is going around to the various interested teams in order for both sides to get to know one another. For instance, his agents took him to Boston to meet with the Red Sox and his trip wasn’t all business, at least according to some of the photos Athletes Premier International posted on their Facebook page. 
In a strange bit of promotion, this time it was the AGENTS posting semi-risqué photos as opposed to some scurrilous blog. Sure, the girls are clothed (in lingerie mostly) but it seems to me like they took him to a strip club and then posted the photos on a public website.
Sure, he’s 21 and he should be allowed to have fun, especially coming from such a different culture in Cuba, but this seems to me like a bad way to advertise yourself to prospective employers. You’re mere weeks away from going from abject poverty to becoming a multimillionaire, keep it together. I bet Scott Boras saw that API did this and popped a chubbie thinking about stealing Chapman away.
API has since taken the photos down but of course, they were already grabbed and are now out in the open.

Just like it is in baseball’s lower levels, minor league hockey teams need an extra hook to bring in the crowds, usually leading to bizarre jersey’s (here and here) or other outlandish promotions (here and here), the crazy new one of the moment this week is from the Bakersfield Condors who are planning to honor Michael Jackson at their game tonight against the Utah Grizzlies.
The Jackson-themed uniforms are pretty awful, but the really terrible part of their promotion will be the single white glove that each player will wear. The promotion will also feature an auction and a raffle and the uniforms will be auctioned to benefit the Children’s Miracle Network.
If your name is Michael Jackson or Billie Jean you’ll also get free admission to the game so, at least there’s that.
