Kimbo Hits The Primetime, Hangs Out With Kazaam

May 30, 2008 · No Comments

Now that Kimbo Slice has gone from Youtube fame to CBS primetime with his upcoming fight Saturday night, it’s only fitting that he gets to hang out with the bigtime sports figures like Shaq. This photo was taken tonight at the Elite XC weigh in. Now that he has this new mainstream image to portray on CBS, Kimbo may have to give up hanging out with the ladies of the Reality Kings websites [NSFW], if he hasn’t already. Though, it hasn’t stopped T.O.

Great Moments in Gambling History

May 29, 2008 · 2 Comments

Someone check on #18 this morning

If news breaks later today that a jogger, out on his morning run somewhere on the beaches of Malibu, stumbles across a bloated, lifeless corpse that the sea has vomited ashore, dont be surprised if its the body of Sasha Vujacic.

During last night’s Western Conference clinching win, the Lakers spastic grease ballEuro-fabulous guard, in the waning seconds of the already decided contest, hoisted up a meaningless 3 pointer as the buzzer sounded, making the final score 100-92 Lakers.  And just as any good degenerate gambler would, we immediately ran to the computer to check what the Vegas line was…the MGM had it Lakers -7.5.

For Vujacic’s sake, lets hope the action was heavy on LA last night.

Saban Riding Solo to Baton Rouge This Fall

May 29, 2008 · No Comments

For every SEC football team traveling to Red Stick to play LSU, a little apprehension during the bus ride to the stadium can be expected. We’ve all heard the tales of bottles being thrown at buses when Auburn has visited in the past. But all of this will be taken to a whole new level this fall when Alabama and Nick Saban make the trip down to Death Valley. So much so, Saban’s assistant coaches have already expressed concern:

“We talk about where we’re staying and who’s going to ride on what bus to the games,” Saban said on Wednesday at the SEC’s spring business meetings. “Somebody on our staff — I’m not going to tell who — said, ‘I hate to tell you this, but when we play LSU, ain’t none of us riding on your bus.’”

For those crazy, drunk cajuns, we wouldn’t expect anything less than this for Saban’s bus:

See all of the goodness live from Jackson, Mississippi here.  (Much love to Nafoom for bringing this to the light of day.)

Bobby Petrino Just Feels Terrible About All of This

May 27, 2008 · 1 Comment

During the hard times, its best to be among friends

Bobby Petrino, who has been ducking the national media like he owed them money (and he might), finally came out from under his pile of Arkansas blood money just long enough to remind us all what a dishonest creep he can be. In an interview with AJC’s Tony Barnhart, Petrino talks about his departure from Atlanta and the mentally taxing aspects of his decision to kick Arthur Blank and the city of Atlanta square in the nuts and leave the Falcons mid season for Fayetteville…

“It was an unfortunate thing because of the timing,” Petrino said as he arrived for his first SEC Spring Meetings as the coach of the Hogs. “The timing of it was the hardest thing I’ve ever had to do in my life.”

I can imagine how hard that must have been, what with all the back door planning, middle of the night escape from Atlanta, and writing Dear John letters you left in your players lockers when they werent around.  Coordinating all of that is pretty hard.

MMA Fighter Beats the Crap Out of Opponent…Literally

May 27, 2008 · No Comments

MMA Fighter Fred Mitchell is one of the few people who can say “I knocked the shit out of him” and actually mean it.

In Saturday’s match against Corey Wethey, Mitchell struck his opponent so hard that Wethey lost control of his bowels. The incident required a 10-minute intermission while officials scrubbed down the ring. Mitchell went on to win the fight by Wethey’s disqualification.

Though, Wethey apparently tried to use it to his advantage.

As the fight prolonged, Mitchell said the smell continued to worsen. Eventually, he removed his mouth piece and expressed his concerns to the ring official.

“He s— himself,” Mitchell said repeatedly.

It was at that point Wethey gained the advantage and locked Mitchell’s head between his thighs.

We’re not real sure what to call that move.

Coaches Meet President Bush

May 26, 2008 · 1 Comment

President George W. Bush met with Tommy Tuberville (Auburn), Charlie Weis (Notre Dame), Mark Richt (Georgia), Jack Siedlecki (Yale), and Randy Shannon (Miami) today and thanked them for going overseas to boost the morale of the troops. Here’s the video from the press conference:

Ivan Maisel at ESPN has a complete run-down of their trip to visit the troops. Of particular note, while overseas, Tuberville and Richt coached the winning team of troops in a flag football game. As he was being carried off the field after the game, Tuberville, never one to miss an opportunity to take a jab at the Saban worshippers Alabama fans, threw up 7 fingers in the air, much like when he wore a “Fear the Thumb” t-shirt after the 2005 season. Auburn goes for its 7th win in a row against Alabama this season. Well, one thing’s for certain, Paul Finebaum couldn’t be happier…the phone lines to his radio show should be busy all week with outraged Bama fans. We’re sure the word “classless” will get mentioned a few times by the Bama callers.
