Sometimes It’s Good to Be a Horse

"Screw all you poor people, I'm rich bitch!"

Times are hard around the country as the economic downturn continues to pummel the average citizens. Fortunately, times aren’t hard for everyone. Take for instance Mike Moreno of Southern Equine Stables who thought nothing about spending a record setting $14 million dollars on a broodmare at auction. Even more impressive, the bidding lasted all of 26 seconds! Take that everyone who got their home foreclosed upon!

The mare in question, Better Than Honour, is the only mare in racing history to birth two Belmont Stakes winners, Jazil who won in 2006 and then Rags to Riches who won it the following year. Not too bad I suppose, but worth $14 million? That’s one very expensive vagina. The answer however, was obvious to Moreno, who already owned 70 percent of the mare, “She’s the best mare in the world. … She’s a Picasso,” Moreno said. “You can’t sell a mare like this.”

Don Doane has been bowling at Ravenna Bowl as part of the same bowling team for almost 45 years and on October 16, for the first time ever, he rolled a perfect game. When his teammates came to surround and congratulate him, Doane, 62, clutched his chest and then collapsed. He was taken to the hospital and pronounced dead of a heart attack. What a jones.

How Much Do You Want to Be on TV?

I deride Americans for being willing to do pretty much anything to be on TV, but it is in Japan where that attitude really gets taken to the extreme. Take for example this crew of folks who agree to play soccer while wearing binoculars and what looks like multi-colored prisoner outfits from a cartoon. Makes sense to me.

The Perfect Gift for Morons

Immediately after the Phillies won the World Series up comes the commercials for crap from MLB and Sports Illustrated that Phillies fans MUST own. Sure, you might be a fan if you buy a championship t-shirt or hat, but that’s not the way to show you’re a TRUE phan; that would be by bidding on this auction on eBay for lucky rain drops. These rain drops fell only MILES away from the stadium and were collected in a metal bowl for sale, they are the “tears of the Gods & Fans Rain down upon a city so hungry for victory that the Tension is palpable.”

Currently available for the low low price of $8.99, it’s a BARGAIN and you’d be a fool not to own this piece of history. As the seller notes:

You are bidding on rain from the same storm system that brought the game to a screeching halt. It was collected no more than 5 miles away from Citizens Bank Park. It will be contained in a small vial and then sent to you via priority mail. I do not know what size vial or exactly how much you will get but it will be no less than 2 ml. I took a picture of the rain that I had collected in a pan that was sitting on my front steps. That is the only collection unit that I used so a very limited number of vials will be available & once they are gone, they are gone. Some will laugh but others will covet this tangible piece of history in the making…

With a description like that I don’t know how you could possibly pass it up. So if you’re one of the coveters you better bid soon, you don’t want to miss out this limited opportunity to own history. The seller hasn’t figured out a way to authenticate this rain water as THE Phillies World Series winning rain water, but don’t worry, it’s all real. If you don’t bid now you’ll regret it for the rest of your life.

Football Finally Comes to Israel

Because the Israeli baseball league did so well, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft has invested money into the Israeli Football League, which will be renamed the Kraft Family IFL, sounds catchy. The teams will play many of their games at Kraft Stadium, a football stadium Kraft had built several years ago to help promote the sport. So far, the game hasn’t taken off too well. I guess it’s hard to get excited about someone throwing a deep bomb when there are actual bombs going off…I wonder if they call a Hail Mary pass a shema pass instead…and how in the world do players celebrate touchdowns if Jesus wasn’t there to get them into the endzone?

Man, I’m on FIRE! Anyways…

“I get a special feeling in my heart every time I hear Hatikva (Israel’s national anthem) sung on a football field, and hope to help this sport grow in this country,” Kraft said during a visit last year to Israel where he took in an IFL game.

A statement released by league commissioner Ben Friedman had this to say:

The Kraft family involvement will ensure a banner year for both the IFL and American Football in Israel at-large, and we’re excited to kick off our upcoming season with such a significant milestone,” IFL Commissioner Ben Friedman said in a statement Tuesday.

Everything Can Be Made Extreme

I don’t particularly understand what is going on in this video, this is supposedly “extreme arm wrestling” but it seems mostly like tying to guys together and then letting them whale on one another. Which of course, I’m in favor of, I just wish I could understand the rationale. Ah well. Go for the nuts! I can’t stop the video from autoplaying so it’s below the jump.

Because I just can’t seem to escape hockey stuff over the last week here is an AMAZING slide show of the various goalie masks being used around the league this season. I still miss Andy Moog’s open mouth Bruin mask from back in the day but these are pretty damn dope and there are plenty more in the slide show here. Check it out!

Marissa Miller Pitches For Razors

Now I don’t generally like to provide free viral advertising, I’m much more likely to post something if it has someone like Marissa Miller involved. So here’s a new ad for some Remington razor something or other,who cares featuring Miller and Milwaukee Brewers slugger Ryan Braun. What matters is Marissa Miller. What matters more is that this video is about as close to soft-core porn as commercials go. It also features more sex puns and euphemistic language than I’ve ever seen. In 2 minutes plus I think they make approximately 2000 sexual references. The classiest? Marissa Miller asking Ryan Braun why he isn’t off signing some kid’s balls, with the balls part heavily emphasized. I was unaware that Braun was so into kid’s testes. Let’s hope he isn’t, he and Kevin Youkilis are the vanguard for the Jewish athlete revival and we don’t need that kind of bad publicity. We’d also like to suggest that Marlon Brando he ain’t and mayhaps Braun should do more with his bat and less with the acting.

Anyways, here’s Marissa, enjoy!

A Slow Moving Golf Cart Disaster

In a hilarious bit of odd news, comes this video of a kid accidentally driving a golf cart across a football field before a game and hitting the ref. It seems that no one knows how the kid got into the golf cart but once he started getting going he was unable to stop it and, despite being chased across the field he hits the ref with the cart before his joyride of terror can be stopped. It all occurred prior to a high school football game in Springfield, Oregon on October 17. It looks like the golf cart chase was the most exciting part of the night as the game ended in a 68-14 lopsided victory. The ref toughed it out and stayed and called the entire game without incident. However, it doesn’t say much for the moves of the ref that he’s unable to avoid a slow moving golf cart driven by a child…Anyhoo, check out the video after the jump.

2 Tacklers, One Block

Here’s what appears to be a high school football game which, unless it was from Friday Night Lights I normally wouldn’t care about. However, this hit is ridiculous, no matter what quality of competition it be at. Check out this leveling block by a downfield player to help spring this touchdown. Wow. Awesome.

When a Win Isn’t a Win *(UPDATE)*

Due to an outpouring of negative responses from media and the general populace at Nike’s doucherie, they have changed their minds regarding Arien O’Connell and have declared her to be “a” winner in the Nike Women’s Marathon. Since they already awarded winner’s awards to another, despite that woman finishing 11 minutes behind O’Connell, she is only declared a winner as opposed to THE winner, which of course, she is. O’Connell will receive the same prize money and trophy as the “elite” runner did and to make sure that this embarrassment never happens to Nike again, they’ve opted to eliminate the elite runner category and everyone will start at the same time next year. At least the right thing was eventually done, it’s just a shame that Nike had essentially to be shamed into doing it.

Biathletes Shoot for Nude Calendar

Following the example of curling’s athletes, Canada’s biathlon team has decided they are going to pose nude in a calendar in order to help raise money for training and expenses as they prepare for the 2010 Olympics. To help promote the calendar, 5 of the athlete/models roller-skiied through downtown Calgary wearing shorts, tank tops and race bibs and with their rifles strapped to their backs. That’s only moderately terrifying, especially since Canadians are so pro-gun. Since I know all that everyone wants to know is who the 5 women who went through town are they are: Zina Kocher, Sandra Keith, Rosanna Crawford, Megan Imrie and Megan Tandy and their photos are below for you to peruse.

You can buy the calendar here! Do it!
