Hockey Players Are NOT Actors

You might have seen this today just as I have.
Hockey players taking a 'stand' against making bad commercials.

I mean, really, why are they picking on themselves? Don't athletes from ALL sports make horrible commercials?

WNST Sports Radio Holding Open LIVE Auditions

WNST in Baltimore is holding auditions for their afternoon shift. Live auditions.
This guy on the video here doesn't start out too bad, until he loses his memory quite consistently.
Pretty innovative concept though. How would you do? Could you do any better than this dude?

Soccer Player Nearly Murdered With Flag

I know soccer players are infamous for 'flopping.' But this is ridiculous!

How come every time I talk about soccer it's about ridiculous 'farting' yellow cards and flopping?

Columbia Professor Faints On Fox News Channel

Ohhhh those crazies over at Fox News. I tell ya!

David Buckner, a Columbia University professor was on FNC to talk about why American companies were failing on Glenn Beck's Fox News TV show. Then......... he passed out. Fainted. Fell. Hit the floor. ALL after talking about stocks that have fallen. TOO ironic.

*whispers*... I'm passin' out....
"You alright?".... I'm passin' out....
"OK, haha, you wanna hang on?".... I'm passin' out...

No. He can't "hang on," Because he's passing out! Help the man already!

This is the second person to pass out on national live television in the past month! Don't forget about the USC volleyball coach that hit the sand face-first! http://thehelmuthfix.blogspot.com/2009/03/woman-faints-while-being-interviewed-on.html

This is sure to make you 'lol.'

The Beanie Baby Revolution In All It's Glory

I saw this old VHS tape on beanie babies online this morning. It is great in so many ways. Not only is the style complete with 90's awesomeness, but Samm Levine is also in it (Freaks And Geeks, Not Another Teen Movie, Sydney White), who funny enough, I met last summer at a sketch comedy show. Funny guy. He probably hates this.

I'm so glad these never went 'out of style.'

Sam

Can YOU name the 9 original beanies!?

Remember Nick Adenhart

Normally i'm only writing postive stories filled with humor. I think there is too much negativity in the regular news that we could rather do without. However, I was absolutely SHOCKED when I heard the news on Sportscenter this morning that Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart had been killed by a drunk driver last night in Fullerton, CA., literally 3 miles from Angels Stadium.

The 23 year old was one of the most promising young pitchers in the game, and last night he had his best career start to date. He pitched 6 innings, allowing 0 earned runs, 7 hits, 5 strikeouts and 3 walks. It was definitely a night to celebrate. The former high school star that had undergone surgery to make it to the big leagues had finally reached his shining moment, and it looked as if his career was finally starting to take off.

The drunk driver that ran the red light that hit Adenhart's car also killed 2 other passengers, both friends of Adenhart. To see a short article on the man that will be charged with murder, due to the hit-and-run, can be seen here.

It seems like it's another classic case of "only the good die young." This is one of those movie scripts that you can only hope, somehow, has a happy ending. But for now, just keep the Adenhart family and friends in your prayers.

Rest in peace Nick.

You've Never Seen A Pee-Wee Shot Like This

Straight out of Pewaukee, Wisconsin, a little-guy basketball game that involves a last second shot that Jordan or Bird couldn't have even called in those old McDonald's commercials.

Too bad it didn't count. Still unbelievable!

I'm not sure which is better....oh, geez. I'll just admit it. That pee-wee shot was better than the old Bird/Jordan slots. But it's still fun to watch nonetheless!
