Another Great Minors Promotion

website_frontMy favorite minor league hockey team, the Las Vegas Wranglers — who we previously celebrated for their Rod Blagojevich Night — are at it again with a promotion sure to bring in the crowds. On Tuesday the ECHL team will host an adult-themed “Over 18 Night.”

In attendance in the stands will be members of the American Storm, an all-male strip revue normally at the V Theater in the Planet Holleywood Casino. As well, there were be instructors from the casino’s Stripper 101 class, there to teach all the lady hockey fans how to lap dance their way to home happiness; the instructors will also be doing an “interactive performance in the bar area.”

Even better–as if male strippers and lap dances aren’t enough–for only $20 there will be an open bar from 7:30 to 9:05 featuring Russian Standard vodka, Crown Royal, Tommy Bahama rum, Bombay Sapphire gin and Patron Silver tequila. Yum!

According to the team, fans under the age of 18 must be accompanied by a guardian as “Programming may contain elements found in R-Rated motion pictures including language and/or mild adult content.” Elements like in an R-rated movie? YES! Count me in!

The impetus for this wonderful promotion? A night the team’s president and owner spent at a bar together, where the idea eventually was preserved on a cocktail napkin. I’d expect nothing less for such a classy affair.

I’m Pretty Sure That’s a Foul

Morgan State had zero chance of besting #1 seed Oklahoma in their match-up last night; something Morgan State’s Ameer Ali took personally it seems. Here he gets slightly entangled with All-American Blake Griffin and decides to do the only rational thing; take Blake over the shoulder and body slam him. Seems like a good idea, I’m sure no one will notice you manhandling the consensus best player in the country… Oh yeah, and Morgan State was 24 points down at the time so, that’s classy. Ali was thrown out of the game and Oklahoma went on to a 82-54 victory and a round 2 berth, Morgan State will receive participation t-shirts.

Now THAT’s an Acrobatic Flip Dunk

It’s a video explosion today!

Here’s one of the Houston Rockets’ Power Dancers taking it to the hoop with a fine flip dunk. I love the post-dunk run back to that weird swaying circle with the other cheerleaders.

Now THAT’s Bracketology

As loyal readers know, I hate college sports, I hate March Madness and I will not be participating in any bracket pools whatsoever, besides of course So Good’s Meat Madness. Were I to participate though, it would be in Fan IQ’s much more entertaining and pleasing Cheerleader Madness. Pitting each school’s cheerleaders against one another in the actual brackets is significantly more exciting then being forced to watch bad basketball and crappy players.

I might even pick a major upset, with Tennessee-Chattanooga taking it over #1 seed UConn, or maybe I’m just a sucker for tight pants…

She Takes Them Out, She Presses Them to the Glass!

Right now the Florida Panthers are on the outside of the playoffs looking in, sitting just outside by only three points. So, is it little wonder that the fans are doing all they can to spur their team on to the post season. Fans love to cheer and they love to get on TV; wave a camera with a red light at people and who knows what you’ll get, but usually you’ll get something entertaining. This Panthers’ fan goes all out and I think she’s full of talent. After all, it isn’t easy to rub yourself up against the glass, it’s COLD in the rink…

He’s a Dancing Fool

Celtics fans can’t stop themselves, they all just want to get DOWN when they enter the Garden. First we saw an overly exuberant Bon Jovi routine, complete with lip syncing and intense gyrations from Jeremy Fry, but now Jeremy has competition from a 7 year old who has all the moves and loves to get down.

Daylon Trotman goes to about half the games at the Garden with his mom, and when he’s there, he’s showing off his expansive tool bag of dance moves. This kid has got IT, and he is becoming more than just popular at the Garden.

Ellen Degeneres even had him on her program for him to show off his moves. And NOTHING wows a crowd of bored and lonely housewives than a little kid busting a move. Even better, Ellen gave the Trotman’s season tickets to the Celtics so that he can continue to pump up the crowd.

Quick, someone get me a kid to go with me to Red Sox games and he BETTER be a good dancer, Daddy needs some season tickets!

That’s Not a Dunk, That’s an Acrobatic Flip

Here’s Wyoming freshman Adam Waddell slamming down an emphatic dunk, turning himself ass over tea kettle. But he gets right up and has a big smile on his face, so don’t be scared, even though it looks like he landed on his neck and should be dead…

He Shoots, He Scores!

I guess it’s cool to have a pop-a-shot in your basement, but if you don’t win and tokens or stuffed animals, it loses a lot of the excitement for me.

Anyways, here’s a 4 year old who has much better shooting abilities than I do, impressively nailing shot after shot, recording triple digit scores in a minute. Of course, then there is his semi-overbearing dad to record the whole thing and get the kid ready to become a “Cougar.”

I Hate Waiting Around for Wood

Some of the porn industry’s biggest “stars” are banding together in an effort to get some more rights for the workers. Desmond Wright, the president of the Association for the Protection of Adult Workers cites some of the concerns for adult performers.

“Groin pulls, dry skin, injuries from falls, all these things are major issues for the industry. Many people don’t realize that wrist related injuries are responsible for more lost man hours in the industry than any other injuries combined. These types of injuries result in massive amounts of lost revenue both for workers and for producers. You can imagine what it’s like to get to the end of a scene and a performer has a bum wrist. All of a sudden a clean shoot becomes a wreck and dozens of dollars are lost.

Producers are against the efforts to get worker’s compensation, but when you hear such impassioned cries from major stars in the industry such as this one, I don’t know how you can idly stand by.

“People need to understand that there are a number of workers and performers that go into making an adult film work and we need them to be healthy and happy,” said Briana Banks, one of the industry’s most respected performers. “From fluffers to stunt cocks, these are the people that bring the magic to the movies and they need to be protected just like us stars. If for no other reason than to just make sure shoots go smoothly and we don’t waste time waiting around for wood.”

When Birds Attack

As part of the festivities for opening day, The Seattle Sounders of the MLS were initially planning on releasing some doves that were supposed to fly around the stadium. Unfortunately for the team, owned in part by comedian Drew Carey, three hawks swooped down and tore the doves to shreds. One of the hawks reportedly dropped one of the dove carcasses into the stands before diving back down for some more.

The club has since changed their opening ceremonies.

I Like Shiny Things

Owning the fastest convertible available, the Mercedes McLaren wasn’t enough for Arsenal defender William Gallas, he needed something a little showier. So, Gallas decided to push the envelope a bit, turning his sweet ride into an all chrome affair; take that Xhibit!

article-0-03e8f489000005dc-177_468x353Here Gallas is arriving for the Mikael Silvestre Schools For Hope Charity Dinner, because nothing says charity like rolling up in a car that costs just short of 500K. The McLaren can reach speeds of up to 207 mph so, now I’m anxious to hear about Gallas causing major traffic accidents on a nice summer day when the sunlight hits off the car and blinds half of the motorists around him. That should be fun…

Some other athlete is going to have to try and up the ante here, I wonder what the next move will be, all gold car? Platinum? Regardless, I’m excited. One thing that saddens me, Gallas spent all that money to chrome out his whip but didn’t go all in for the spinners for his rims, how can you forget the spinners!?!

Goalies are Not Infallible

Not just a compilation of a series of goalie mistakes, there’s a loud, techno crap song too, what more could you want to start your afternoon? The best is the guy who tries to throw the ball and instead throws it behind him.
