I don’t have much to say here, I know at least one reader who will be beside himself at this post…
Via Coed Magazine comes all new photos fresh off Allison Stokke’s facebook page, because you know, that’s the world we live in. In addition, here are some photos from a meet she had recently so you can see the pole vaulting champion in action. OMG, she’s just like us! She takes pictures with awkward white dudes too! She eats! I eat! We’re meant for each other!
I like the glasses…
If you’re looking for a good pick for next week’s Kentucky Derby, we’ve got a great inside tip for you; go with Musket Man.
Now, I’m already biased towards this horse because I have an affinity for Revolutionary War soldier art (don’t ask) but if your own innate patriotism isn’t enough for you there are other, very worthy reasons to pick him.
First, Musket Man has won 5 of the 6 races he’s participated in, including victories in the Illinois and Tampa Bay Derbys this year. Also, Derek Ryan, Musket Man’s trainer has loads of confidence in his steed, “Best temperament of any horse I’ve ever had. Nothing bothers him. He goes with the flow.”
Secondly, as part of his daily training routine, much like you might have a beer after work to relax, Musket Man has a Guinness. Why you ask? Because, according to Ryan, it “…mellows him out I hope. Nah, it gives him a good appetite. They say a Guinness a day is good for you. So far it’s worked.”
I can’t think of a safer bet than a drunken horse.

I had no idea that this was being considered an actual sport, but last Wednesday, in Santa Monica there was a Power Sliding competition. For those of you who are unfamiliar, power sliding is like skateboarding, only instead of grinding on a rail with a board, you slide down it using just your pants.
Now, maybe I’m just out of touch, but this seems retarded to me.
The competition featured a 40-foot high course with rails, boxes and other items for people to grind on.
Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea of teenagers sliding face first down a rail, I just want more of them to break their faces open doing it…
Although, I am in favor of seeing Kendra Wilkinson (who was one of the judges for the competition) from the absymal Girls Next Door taking a rail like this…

While they are waiting for it to be officially ratified by the Guinness Book of Records, two teams of British cricketers believe they have set the record for the highest-altitude for field sports. At the foot of Mount Everest, nearly 17,000 feet above sea level in Gorakshep, Nepal, the teams played one another with Team Hillary edging Team Tenzing. The teams were named after the two men who first climbed the mountain. The organizers of the game are hoping to raise over $365,000 from sponsors for two charities.

If you’re on the volleyball team at Southlake Carroll Senior High School in Southlake, Texas you may view your coach slightly different after coach Wyvonne Walling was arrested for performing a sex act on a local grocery store manager while parked in his pickup truck. Walling, 45, who also serves as the interim girl’s athletic director, head of the physical education department, assistant track coach and as a teacher in a TEEN leadership class was released after posting the $1,000 bail.
The two were spotted by a policeman on patrol near Fairplay Park when he saw the parked vehicle. After approaching the truck, the officer then saw Walling, presumably occupied, and arrested the pair. That doesn’t sound like fair play to me. There isn’t even word whether the grocery store manager finished! That is DEFINITELY not fair play.
What really upsets me about this whole story is that Walling was hooking up with another 45 year old. C’mon lady, don’t you know if you’re a teacher and you’re getting busted for anything sexual it’d BETTER be with a student! You’re doing it wrong!
Unless you’re getting a great deal on meat…I hear the suckling pig is delightful this time of year…
Figure skating cutie Jessica Dube probably needs to get herself a new pairs partner; during their program at the World Team Trophy event in Tokyo, Dube and her partner Bryce Davison suffered a serious fall and were taken to the hospital. Both were released later in the evening, but this isn’t the first time Dube has had issues with her teammate. In 2007 while doing a routine Davison accidentally cut Dube in her face with his skate, requiring 80 stitches and almost permanently ruining her hotness. Fortunately, she’s a cutie through and through and recovered pretty well. Still, once you slash someone in the face, even accidentally, it’s got to be time to move on. In fact, Jessica, I’d LOVE to do some spins and lifts with you…
Despite their fall, Dube and Davison helped the Canadian team place second overall in the competition which featured each country skating a representative from all four figure skating disciplines: men’s, women’s, pairs and ice dance.
My only concern though is for the safety of Dube, she’s simply too hot to be mishandled.

For the first time ever at a NASCAR event, the official pace car will be a hybrid vehicle. Loaned by Toyota, the Camry hybrid was put through some strenuous tests to ensure it could reach 100 MPH as it must during the race. After circling the track twice, the rest of next month’s Coca-Cola 600 will be run by the normal gas-guzzling monsters. Way to recognize the future…
It’s 4/20 and so my posting has been lazy today, hence the now three hot girl posts. However, I’d be remiss to not honor the women on the front lines for us, risking it all to become our next Miss USA. Thank you all.
Here is the final 5 during the swimsuit portion of the competition, choose your own winner.
Not to be all spoiler, but Ms. North Carolina wins it all.
I think we are all the real winners though; not only for celebrating these women and their scholarship tournament-whatever-thing, but for getting to listen to that AWESOMELY rocking out song the ladies walk around to.
John Mellencamp ruined sports for much of America with his “This is our country” travesty that was featured in EVERY commercial break of every sporting event for several months. That song was and is the worst.
However, let’s move past that to where the now former-Cougar Mellencamp is a proud papa cat of one Hud Mellencamp who, Thursday night, took home a division title in the Indiana Golden Gloves boxing tournament. The 14 year-old won a 4-1 victory in the 132-pound senior-division.
Thanks to his victory, Mellencamp will represent Indiana in the national Golden Gloves tournament May 4-10 in Salt Lake City.
After his victory Mellencamp was given a trophy and a big hug from his dad; truly he’s just an American kid, growing up in the heartland, doing the best he can.

While this story is unfortunate, I love the mindset that led to the situation in the first place.
Noriyuki Komatsu, a former flyweight champion of the Oriental and Pacific Boxing Federation was found dead at the basin of a waterfall in Otsu, Japan on Monday evening. He “is believed to have accidentally fallen in while engaging in ascetic training at the waterfall, [‘police] said. He had been visiting a temple in Kyoto since Saturday for meditation.”
I don’t know what “ascetic training” entails, but it sounds awesome. For some reason I don’t think we’d ever see Floyd Mayweather doing anything similar…

When a brawl breaks out at a rugby match is it really that different from a normal game? I guess so, because 8 minutes into a game between Dinamo Bucaresti and Farul Constata of the Romanian Rugby League a full on brawl broke out. 9 players were eventually taken to the hospital, also 9 players (possibly the same ones) were banned from the Romanian Rugby League for their participation in the fight with the league saying it “condemned the players for conduct devoid of fair-play.”
And now, for fun, the fight in slow-motion.

When it comes to NASCAR, I don’t have any interest whatsoever, I certainly don’t understand the appeal and would be fine with it disappearing completely. Unfortunately, there’s a whole lot of dumb people in this country, and I should know, I saw a lot of them at Applebee’s last night…
Anyways, I will say that Joe Nemecheck does some pretty impressive driving moves in this clip from the Saturday’s Pepsi 300. It’s one thing to flip over, it’s quite another to flip over going 200 MPH and then recover enough to keep driving like nothing happened and avoid hitting the wall.
The Slanch Report has started an online petition asking the MLB Network to air the Dock Ellis no-hitter he threw on June 12, 1970 against the San Diego Padres. The moment was a seminal piece of baseball history and is certainly worthy of being rerun.
Please join us in this cause and sign the petition below so we can all share in this special and fantastic moment of baseball history. THANKS!
