The one and only David Hasselhoff will be singing the National Anthem at the Las Vegas Bowl this Saturday. He'll probably sing his classic Baywatch theme at halftime.
Steve Young is talking about the Carolina Panthers' big divisional win over Tampa Bay when all of a sudden a UFC (Unidentified Flying Cup) hits him at around the 0:15 mark of this clip.
Lebron James is singing Cyndi Lauper's classic 80's ballad "Time After Time" for a commercial shoot. I'm surprised he's not signing "For the Love of Money" by the O'Jays thinking about his Free Agent status in 2010 since that's all he seems to talk about.
This is the comment that got Sean Avery suspended on Tuesday. I guess this is what it takes for the sports world to take notice of the National Hockey League.
NY Giants WR Plaxico Burress accidentally shot himself in the leg on Friday night while at a Manhattan night club. He was taken to the hospital under the name of a former high school classmate "Harris Smith". Here he is on Monday turning himself into the authorities.
A group of Carolina Panthers fans braved the cold of Lambeau Field Sunday afternoon; if you watched the thrilling Packers-Cats game on FOX, you most certainly noticed the group of teal and black wearing adventurers that were sitting just off to the right of one end zone. And you noticed them because as DeAngelo Williams rumbled all over Green Bay for a quartet of scores, he kept tossing the game ball to the Panthers fans. Finally, the Cheesehead behind them had enough, and, as you will see, launched the fourth ball back onto the field.
Then, with the score 71-69 after Arizona’s Garland Junkins missed a free throw, Arizona’s Kyle Fogg scrapped up the loose ball and put it in the hoop, tying the game at 71 with :30 seconds remaining. Fogg, not thinking because he was probably told in the timeout before the free throw to foul by the coaches (thinking they’d be down by one or two after the free throw), fouled UAB’s Aaron Johnson....
....So Johnson misses his one-and-one attempt. Jordan Hill grabs the rebound. Arizona calls timeout, sets up a play, and puts it in the hands of Nic Wise. Wise’s shot clanks off the rim with about three seconds to go and UAB’s Paul Delaney (the THIRD) gets the rebound. That’s when Jamelle Horne completely forgets how to play the game of basketball, ignores the fact that the game is tied at 71 and lunges for Delaney III, causing the refs to call an intention foul on Horne, giving UAB two shots and the ball.
Chris Webber is smiling tonight because his play can't be remembered as the dumbest ever.
The boxer Monte Barrett was so excited for his fight with David Haye that he decided to try to jump into the ring. Unfortunately, he didn't quite clear the top rope:
It went downhill from there. Haye knocked Barrett down five times en route to a fifth-round TKO win.
"That's when Nash comes running in, and tries to grab Alston from the rear. So Alston gets it in two places, by Barnes, and then from the rear by Nash. So that's why, naturally, he's hot."- Hubie Brown
John Daly was drinking, really? That part's not surprising, but the fact that his friends at Hooters (a sponsor) had to kick him out at closing time and that he was--allegedly--so drunk that the folks on his tour bus wouldn't let him back in. All of it unfolded in Winston-Salem where the bus pulled up outside a Hooters restaurant. By 1 am Daly was outside, passed out and paramedics were called. At that point, most people would welcome the help, but not Daly, who got combative and the cops were called. Eventually Big John was arrested to protect him from himself, basically, and spent the night in jail.
We're not ones to judge people on what they do in the privacy of their own homes. But if you're going to "do it" during a professional football game, it's probably best not to use the ladies’ restroom across from Section 336 in Ralph Wilson Stadium, home to the Buffalo Bills. Security personnel investigated numerous complaints in the third quarter Sunday of a "commotion' in the bathroom and it didn’t take the highly trained security officers long to figure out the cause: a woman having sex with her boyfriend in a bathroom stall. Ultimately, the couple were arrested for their not sanctioned by the NFL activities, two of 37 people arrested at the stadium by Orchard Park police and Erie County sheriff’s deputies before, during and after Sunday’s Bills-Jets game. Alicia A. Venneman, 29, was slapped with a disorderly conduct charge, while her boyfriend, Jeramy H. Kemper, 31, faces charges of with trespassing and resisting arrest.
The WTA decided to hold its season-ending tournament in the Middle Eastern country, which has been exposed to its share of Western culture but is still a Muslim nation.
The women are still allowed to play in their normal outfits, but all advertising in the capital city of Doha has shown them just as purple silhouettes. Apparently, Qatar’s state-run advertising agency rejected photos of the players in their tennis clothing because their arms and legs were exposed and that might be considered sexual in nature. Nah! Women’s tennis marketing the sexuality of its players? Get outta here!
After an absolutely posterizing dunk on Jeff Foster, Amare Stoudemire celebrated a little by thumping his chest, which is something that the much smaller Travis Diener did not appreciate.
Amare blatantly flops after the semi-shove from Diener, and is laughing the entire time. You know, like anyone else who watched this and thought it was a little odd that Diener might be able to have that type of physical effect on someone who's nine inches taller and out-weighs him by roughly 75 pounds.
Former ESPN SportsCenter Anchor Jack Edwards can be smooth on his delivery, but at times he’s a Joe Biden-style loose cannon who’ll just say anything from his perch high above the rink to make fun of a player of the team opposing the Bruins (Whom he calls games for on NESN) he doesn’t like.
Saturday night saw the latter of those two Edwards’s. Check out the video of the Stars-Bruins various casualties from that night.
