“You’re late,” Manny Ramirez told Matt Kemp when he strolled into the clubhouse at 8:30 a.m.. “I was here at 6:30.”
“I was here three weeks ago,” replied Kemp.

This is What Hockey Fans Need
Hockey may be going broke, with some teams struggling to stay out of bankruptcy, (nod Coyotes) so it’s nice to take a moment and think about the things that make hockey grand. For instance, the pugilistic skills of Aaron Downy and Cam Janssen. Well-played gents.

Like Stepping on a Wet Duck
And for good measure, to show the joy of the NBA, here’s LeBron ripping a fart at Anderson Varejao. I’m sorry, say it’s crass, a good fart brings a smile to everyone’s face. Look at how happy it makes LeBron!

Eyes on the Ball
So, I just noticed that this post that I wrote on January 20th was never posted. Oops! Fortunately, our crack team here discovered that, about two months later… Anyhoo, timely as ever, a girl plays with her ball.
I’m officially impressed by rhythmic gymnastics, or at least by this chick.
First off, that whole flexibility thing is pretty nice (wink), but look at the athleticism not to mention the concentration that she has in making some totally awesome catches of that ball. But isn’t that the same kind of ball as they’d have in the grocery stores that you’d play with until you knocked something over, then hurriedly put it back and bailed? That seems weird that that is part of a sport, right? Whateves, I’ll let it go since she already has better ball skills than half the receivers in the NFL.
Jamie Vermiglio is a 26 year old semi-professional soccer player from Newton-le-Willows, Merseyside, England who has been sidelined with a broken back. It turns out that though that he’s been playing through the injury for at least 32 matches, and possibly his whole life!
After his coach noticed him struggling on the field, Vermiglio was sent to get an MRI scan which revealed a stress fracture to his fifth lumbar vertebra.
“It’s caused a disc to slip and that’s causing pain in the nervous system down my legs,” he said. “I’ve just been taking pain-killers so I could play. I just got on with playing and thought it would go away after time, like most injuries.”
Told by the doctors that continuing playing could paralyze him for life, the primary school teacher by day took the field regardless, helping his Telford United squad to a 1-0 win in the semi-finals of the FA Cup.
“I’m not giving up hope yet. I am going to see another specialist and, fingers crossed, there might be some light at the end of the tunnel.”

Hot for the Coach
Maybe you think you’re a sports fan but if you’re not following the box scores for New Orleans’ private schools high school girl basketball then quite simply you’re not a true fan.
Since I am a real fan, I was watching with great anticipation the match up between New Orleans Country Day and Oak Grove during the Ladies Top 28 tournament on Monday. Thanks to some clutch performances, and an all-out effort from coach Alyce Hesse, NOCD won a 43-34 victory. I am a devoted Hesse-maniac. She’s the best coach in America, probably, or at least the one who I’d like most to spend some quality practice time with…

Carlos Eyeliner Had the Assist
A pretty goal is a pretty goal and Giuseppe Mascara gets all dolled up to slam one home in a Serie A game yesterday. The Catanian striker’s early candidate for goal of the year helped his side take the Sicilian Cup over Palermo. But you already knew that. Of course, you may also remember the flamboyant Mascara from the fall when, lining up to take a penalty kick, three of his teammates dropped their pants to distract the other team…
No wonder Tom Brady rushed to put a ring on Gisele; according to Page 6, during the Carnival celebrations in Rio while Tommy boy was rehabbing his knee his favorite little receiver Wes Welker was down there partying it up with Gisele. Wes was all up in Gisele’s private box suite, even sambaing with her! Tom must have gotten worried that Welker’s southern porn ‘stache might have stolen Gisele away hence the marriage.
Still, well played Tom.

Derek Jeter is taking his well-traveled body to a new target, a 22-year old FIT marketing student who has been telling her friends that she and Jeter have been waitingdating “for a while.” The young lass, master of being subtle has been playing his voicemail messages for her friends, also reportedly told Jeter that “she wanted a tighter butt, so he got her a friends-and-family discount to a gym he goes to and offered to help her work on it. The next day, she was telling everyone how sore she was from their workout.”
- A) I’m excited because this means that Minka Kelly is BACK on the market.
- B) Jeter and Minka Kelly were seen out together in January, this girl said Jeter gave her a signed ball (I bet! woooo!) for her mom for Christmas
- C) Jeter definitely cheated on Minka
- D) Jeter remains scummy
- E) Jeter must have or at least have had multiple STDs right? When you’ve plowed through as many celebrities (and bar waitresses, and students and strippers and other rando girls) as he has you have to catch SOMETHING along the way right?
You might have heard that Michael Phelps was captured in a picture smoking a bong, I recall hearing something about it, but it got mostly ignored by the mainstream media. Well, the aftershocks of that photo continue to reverberate, first he lost his Kellogg’s cereal sponsorship deal and now, he has been taken off three motivational speaking events, presumably because he is no longer inspirational as a one-time pot smoker.
The company organizing the seminars, “Power Within” seems to have conflicted thoughts about the whole thing seeing as Phelps is still on to be a part of an event called “Get Motivated!” He will be appearing via satellite with other luminaries such as Rudy Guiliani, Steve Forbes and Colin Powell.
However, Phelps has been asked to not appear at three other events, 2 in Canada and one at Radio City Music Hall in New York.
Don’t worry though, Phelps, who blazed his way to a record 8 Olympic gold medals this past summer was replaced for the Canadian events with a sober, responsible adult, Martin Sheen. Now, don’t get me wrong, if President Bartlett were to show up THAT is a big coup for the seminar, but Martin Sheen–who has been sober reportedly for about 19 years and is the proud papa of Charlie Sheen who is a womanizing, whore-visiting former addict who has OD’d before–may not be the most obvious about-face.

Everybody OUT of the Pool
Jarron Gilbert is a defensive lineman from that hotbed of football talent San Jose State, right now he’s projected to be a second or third round pick. That may change after people see this video. Explosiveness is nice in a D-lineman, strength is nice, athleticism is nice, and so here is Jarron jumping out of a pool onto the ground.
Awesome.

Grandmaster Takes on All Comers
Bulgarian Grand Master Kiril Georgiev broke the world record for the largest number of simultaneous chess matches on Monday when he played 360 games at one time. The marathon process took 14 hours and 8 minutes with Georgiev playing against opponents ranging from children to retired old people.
His final record at the end of the challenge, 284 wins, 70 draws and only 6 losses. The record has now been submitted to the Guinness Book of Records for certification.
Pretty impressive I suppose, although those 6 losses are a bit embarrassing, after all, he IS a GRANDMASTER and then he gets beat by little Billy from some nearby elementary school?
