The hockey Gods were kind in Montreal. Women you see need to know their place and those are clearly the kitchen and the bedroom, not front row in a NHL game in Montreal. This female Canuck took a hard heater right off the boards that would make Pamela Anderson flashback to her Tommy Lee boat cruising days. Honk!
Johnny Football is less than 6 feet tall. Come to think of it he's actually about the same height as I am. But that is where the similarities end. Manziel has hops. I can barely touch the fucking net on a good day. Manziel can do 360-degree dunks with his size 15 clown shoes. I can drink beer 360 days of the year in my size 10.5 shoes. Johnny is about to be a multi millionaire in the NFL. I'm about to take a shit in my pants because I ate too much pizza last night. Two peas in a pod.
Ouch. The Cuban Missile took a brutal line drive straight to his kisser last night from the bat of Royals catcher Salvador Perez in the 6th inning. The terrifying baseball liner caused multiple fractured bones around Aroldis Chapman's left eye and nose. Fingers are crossed for Chapman to make a speedy recovery. I got to be honest I don't think I could recover mentally from the trauma of taking one to the face like this. The spring training game was immediately cancelled and now the Reds are forced to look at their closer situation while scrambling to find a solution less than two weeks till Opening Day.
Spring Training is not just for the players. It's also huge for the umpires in prepping them for a grueling season of farting, spitting, and starting fights. Or in this case with umpire Nick Rose it's prep for taking a line drive to the "bat and balls" so to speak. Hopefully he's wearing a cup but the way he went down like a Duke defender in the lane I'm seriously doubting it.
The special Leprechaun flute will no doubt catch a crackhead in Mobile, AL. If that dude was smart he would patent and trademark the special Leprechaun flute. Then he can get his own reality show with his family all while becoming the next ghetto Duck Dynasty success story.
Clearly this new tailgating game needs three things: A) massive amounts of alcohol and B) at least two drunk assholes and C) a pigskin. The good thing is my buddy Rob is proficient in all three of these traits for the tailgating game called "Stupid." As Rob shows in the video it takes a very brave or drunk individual to put a beer on top of their head while letting the other participant hurdle a football at their noggin for shits and giggles. One can only hope this game catches on in the South as a form of natural selection for what Charles Darwin dreamt so merrily about.
Honestly who can blame Charles Barkley? The NBA has not been interesting for this mid 30's guy since the late 90's. And yeah I know Lebron James is the greatest thing since MJ but it still doesn't interest me. The fundamentals are awful. If you took the best players from the 80's and 90's in their prime they would destroy the best players right now in the league. It's all you need to know. And don't even start with me on college basketball. It's unwatchable. I'm not going to claim basketball is dead but it is the one sport that has gotten progressively worse when every other sport is overall better in terms of talent, coaching, and execution.
ESPN is going to continue to push basketball upon us but anyone with half a brain can see it's shit right now. Put lipstick on the pig all you want but we all know it's still smelly swine underneath.

Deonte Burton is 6'1. The Boise State defender is 6'9. Burton straight posterized a dude who is almost a foot taller. BEAST!
Ken Griffey Jr had one of the most natural, beautiful swings and played the game of baseball with a big kid's smile on his face throughout his Hall of Fame career. But Griffey's ESPN interview/Upper Deck Promo with Linda Cohn was delivered to the complete opposite field of natural and smiles. Junior flat out looked pissed off to even be on TV. I'm not sure what exactly happened before Griffey went live on-air to make him so curt with Cohn but like myself I think he's still trying to figure out who the Yellow King is in True Detective.
It's obvious after episode 7 who the Yellow King is Griffey. In fact he's been in Seattle the whole time.
The lesson to be learned here kids is to always keep your head on a swivel. Also karma is a bitch because we all know, even the ref here, that stripes probably had it coming to him.
By nearly all accounts returning redshirt junior QB Everett Golson looked sharp today in practice after taking nearly a year off due to an academic suspension. Golson worked with noted quarterback guru coach George Whitfield during his suspension and you could tell by his practice videos that they paid off. Golson's throwing motion is a lot more compact and now that he is using the laces (he didn't before) he's getting a tighter spiral with more accuracy hitting his receivers in stride. Golson has also put on 15 pounds and he looks a lot more physical.
I know it's only spring practice but with Notre Dame returning a top 5 offensive line unit along with multiple playmakers at every skill position it should be expected that Golson puts up Heisman Trophy discussion numbers. Golson has all the tools and as a redshirt freshman he took Notre Dame to the BCS Championship Game while playing admirably against a loaded Bama squad. He should only be better this year.
Prediction: Golson throws for over 3000 yards with 25 TDs through the air. He also runs for 300 plus yards and 6 TDs while leading the Fighting Irish to a 10-2 regular season.
Oakland A's outfielder Josh Reddick has already wrapped up the MLB catch of the year and it happened in his first spring training game. In case you were wondering that is a 10 foot wall he scales to rob Michael Morse of a homer. And to top it off he made a similar catch later in the game against Morse. It may be early but Reddick is already in midseason SpiderMan shape.
Do you remember javelin thrower Leryn Franco? Apparently she has competed in 3 Summer Olympics for Paraguay while not modeling on the side. I tend to get her mixed up with tennis player Sania Mirza but nevertheless Franco is the one who is really, really good at working out. Basically she is another one of the Lolo Jones/Danica Patrick/Anna Kournikova molds. You know girls who don't win shit but look great in the process.
Baltimore Raven's starting rookie safety Matt Elam made solid footing in his inaugural season in the NFL. He also made a solid income after signing a $6 million plus contract for 4 years. But the money and the fame hasn't stopped him from going back to school at the University of Florida to finish his degree and working at the local Finish Line for a little extra cash on the side according to the Baltimore Sun...
Elam told the Ravens' team website that he was going back to school in part because of his mother.
