An Eye-Douching

Thabeet will thus become the highest draft pick ever sent to the D-League by an NBA team. Players can only be assigned to D-League duty by their NBA teams during their first two seasons as a pro.

Everyone I know talks an IMMENSE amount of shit about Greg Oden. Yeah, he’s been injury prone since birth, but god damn it, the man is still in the fucking league. Fuck Thabeet.

Major League Baseball is expected to announce Thursday that Los Angeles Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez has tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs and will be suspended for 50 games, The Los Angeles Times is reporting.

I’ve posted this on my twitter, fb, everywhere. I can’t watch baseball anymore. If I find out Albert Pujols used it, the sport never even existed to me.

But this is a funny ass commercial.

Nothing really about the weekend because the most I saw was the celebrity game, but me and some friends were talking about how Shaq has so much “bromance” for Kobe now after all these years. And we came to the conclusion that Shaq is dying to go back to LA. According to a bunch of random rumors I can’t site at this moment, Phoenix is trying to shop him around, along with Amare. I don’t care what anyone says, Shaq and Kobe “winning” the Co-MVP at the game is too fucking fishy. If Shaq does get traded and me and my home skillets are right, David Stern will probably jizz in his fucking pants when he signs the trade off.

I’m pretty sure none of this is going to happen though.

Anyone that knows me knows I despise all NY sports teams except for the Knicks and Mets. I hated the Knicks all my life until about 3 years ago when they were so fucking mediocre that I felt bad for them so I became a fan. I’m a HUGE NE Patriots fan so obviously last year sucked, but some fucking way, this video makes it all better.

I don’t follow MMA. I’ll watch a match, but it’s just not something I’m in to. When I heard Kimbo Slice was going into MMA, I knew it was going to be taken as a big deal. I also knew that he would be incredibly overrated because of his popular street brawling videos. The shit A LOT of people don’t get is, is that these REAL MMA fighters have been training for years, Kimbo had some fights in a backyard. His first fight was marred with controversy, some accused EliteXC of fixing the match.

He was supposed to fight OG Ken Shamrock tonight but Shamrock was medically disqualified. So he fought Seth Petruzelli. And this is what happened. Read more

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson, legally changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco. The picture above, is from two seasons ago when he wore an “ocho cinco” patch over his jersey during practice. He got fined for it. For any non-spanish speaking people reading this, “ocho cinco” is 8-5, respectively. He calls himself that because it’s his jersey number. Funny stuff, it’s clearly a money move. The bengals are gonna be selling these jerseys like hot cakes. Hot cakes I tells ya

So Nike decided to pull their recent ad campaign for their new Nike Hyperdunk sneaker. This really pisses me off. They got a lot of flack from the gay community and the black community. Apparently, this is ad is racist and homophobic. That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard. For anyone who plays basketball, gay, straight, Black, White, Hispanic, Asian or Indian, getting dunked on is one of the worst things that can happen to you. And getting dunked one with someone’s sweaty balls in your face is even worse. Even in woman’s basketball it’s horrible. Even though their have only been two women, Lisa Leslie and Candice Parker, to dunk in the WNBA, I’d like to know how many woman, straight or gay, would like a sweaty vagina in their face while playing basketball. Seriously. No one wants balls or vagina in their face. No one. And I’d like to know how in the world is this racist. I’ve seen the other ads that apart of the campaign, their plastered all over my neighborhood and in the Foot Locker, and they’re not racist to me. Deadspin is saying the same exact thing I was thinking when I first heard about the “outrage” a couple weeks ago. Seriously, whats with being politically correct about stuff that isn’t offending anyone. If you think it’s racist and/or homophobic, let me know in the comments.

UPDATE: The commercials are after the jump, thanks to Steve.
