Frank Shamrock's Strikeforce Contest
Check out the latest 60-Second Autograph contest from Yardbarker, now running on Frank Shamrock's blog. Frank may be the toughest, most focused guy come fight time, but when put to Yardbarker's 60-Second Autograph test, he gets a little flustered! Make sure to click over to...

This video from DavidCookIsKool comes to me courtesy of YouTube's recommendations. I suppose the YouTube algorithm chose this gem for me because 1) I've favorited a few of Kyle Harrison's hilarious lacrosse videos, 2) I enjoy displays of unbridled enthusiasm, and 3) I too...

Well, we had been trying to keep it on the low-low, because it's kind of taboo for two sports bloggers to be dating each other. But it looks like the Phoenix New Times will probably be outing us in their next cover story, so I'd rather people hear it from me first. Yes, Alana...
Wilt Chamberlain's Love Children Bump Their Heads on Doorframes
If there is one good thing that will come out of this Niki D'Andrea New Times fiasco, I somehow doubt it will be a change in policy at New Times (but I'm still waiting to hear back from editor Rick Barrs about that...). So if nothing else, maybe the whole thing will at least...

A.I.!!! You're killing me here. You cut off the braids? The cornrows... gone? What! Is it no longer cool for ME to have cornrows now? And oh my word you totally just ruined Halloween when I was going to do a repeat of last year's Slutty Allen Iverson costume. Sad face. Thanks...
NBA Tattoo Cap? Don't Believe It!

Can you imagine if the NBA had a "tattoo cap" whereby teams were limited as to how many tattoos their players had? The idea is hilarious, right? I thought so when I read a satirical blog post about it. It wasn't as funny when the Phoenix New Times then quoted the blog...
Diddy Nickname Quiz: Adrian Peterson Chokes!
FAIL for Adrian Peterson. But all of the other stars we asked on the red carpet of Diddy's Good Life Experience party fared better. Watch the video to see Jordin Sparks, Deion and Pilar Sanders, Ryan Howard, Dwight Freeney, DJ Clue, Pepa, DeMarcus Ware, Devin Thomas, Andre Berto, Marcellus ...
Puffy for President!! Diddy Campaign Kicks Off at Super Bowl
Ok, so he's not really campaigning, but when I asked Diddy on the red carpet of his Saturday night Super Bowl party who his VP would be when he runs for president, he responded in stride like it was a totally fair question. His answer was a little politician-y, but we got some...
Super Bowl Videos: Diddy, T.O., and Miss America
Still here in Tampa on the scene. You can catch all of our Yardbarker Super Bowl coverage on our Super Bowl page. But here are a few of my favorites from the past day or so... Diddy waves the Terrible Towel on the red carpet of his party. Why is he a Steelers fan, anyone know? (And...
How do you spell ROETHLISBERGER?
Here in Tampa we have asked everyone we've seen to spell Big Ben's name... yes, even including Reggie Bush and the lovely Kim Kardashian!
Super Bowl Dirt and Boobs
Live from Tampa, AlanaG brings you Super Bowl dirt and boobs, not together thankfully (unless you're into that). You can check out all of our Yardbarker Super Bowl coverage, but here are my two favorite videos so far. Stay tuned for much more! Santonio Holmes' Steelers teammates...
Acie Law's $10,000 Cowboys Bet
Here's a funny snippet from my visit with Atlanta Hawks point guard Acie Law. He and his boy Scout apparently made a $10,000 bet on the Cowboys... just a "friendly" bet, settle down David Stern! Stacks and stacks of cash brought to you by Jerry Maguire.
Global Warming Is HOT, Son!
I love global warming because 1) it's going to hit 70 degrees in San Francisco today in the middle of January, and 2) it compels people to make hilarious videos like this: Realistic polar bear noises brought to you by former Chicago Bears tight end Ryan Wetnight.
Brian's Thoughts About Twitter
Click through for a chat with the fine gentleman behind Brian's Thoughts About Airplanes. His name is Brian. Like me, Brian has struggled to understand Twitter. Anyway, I Tumblred our convo about it, and now I'm blogging the Tumblr link. Of course I'm also going to Twitter...
This Kid Is More BEAST MODE Than Marshawn Lynch
Marshawn Lynch hosted a contest on his Yardbarker blog asking kids to demonstrate their BEAST MODE. There were a lot of cute entries, but my favorite was from Tony, one of the winners Marshawn named today. Fifteen years from now this kid will have his own Nike commercial, mark my words. Beast ...
Joe Paterno's Virtual Birthday Party!
From the good folks who tipped me off to Shaq's Twitter feed comes the latest in sports-new-media-madness: a virtual 82nd birthday party for JoePa! I'm not sure exactly how it's going to work... (virtual cake?)... and the blog mentions that the party is a surprise (no such...
Can You Beat Ovie Mughelli at Halo?
Ovie Mughelli: Atlanta Falcons fullback, Yardbarker blogger, ladies' heartthrob (check the comments), and world's number one Halo player. Half-rate editing brought to you by... Alana G! As my bud MJD said, he might not be able to beat Ovie in Halo, but he can probably type...
The NBA's New Ad Campaign: LeBron James Sings 'Time After Time'
The good folks at the NBA have given Alana G the scoopy doo on the new ad campaign that will be launched December 25th during the FIVE Christmas Day games. This is exciting, because as much as I loved the old "Where Amazing Happens" piano spots, they've been starting...

When Fatheads Go Bad
LeBron James jumped off the wall in the middle of the night and stuck his body onto himself. True story.
Mike Conley: Great Singer, Better Guitar Hero Player
Mike Conley, self-proclaimed best Guitar Hero player in the NBA, is hosting a contest on his Yardbarker blog. Here's the video explaining: My favorite part is the live demonstration at 0:16. Who knew the soft-spoken Conley could rock out to some Bon Jovi? Was he even born when...
WNBA Star Candice Wiggins Solves a Rubik's Cube
I had a Rubik's Cube when I was little -- I used to peel off the colored stickers and put them where they needed to be. Candice Wiggins is a little smoother with her solution. Candice talks about more nerdy things in her latest Yardbarker blog post.
Sheed's Nicknames
Yes, it's Rasheed Wallace week! Sheed just posted this Yardbarker video segment on his blog. He breaks down the nicknames he's given his teammates. Mad props to baked potatoes Matt Watson for the tip that he might get excited about talking up his teammates. But I forgot to...
Rasheed Wallace: Taking Advice From FreeDarko Since 2008
If you haven't already picked up your copy of FreeDarko's The Macrophenomenal Pro Basketball Almanac... well then what Euro country are you living in? Ok, so I only just got my hands on the book recently (I've been busy reading Men With Balls), but what little I've...
