Diamondbacks’ Heath Bell Needs Diving Lessons ASAP
Heath Bell tried his little heart out to get to a very slow grounder hit by Will Venable on Friday night, but he fell a bot short. Check out the replay which made me laugh for a good few minutes straight. Good game, good effort.

The Evolution Of ‘Birdman’ Chris Anderson In Pictures
Chris ‘Birdman’ Anderson has been a fan favorite throughout his NBA career, and has played for a few different times during that time. It is only natural that the Birdman would need different looks for each team, and the below shows Chris taking that thinking to an extreme.

AFTER TURF
Will Smith whiffs badly on penalty kick
Will Smith’s After Earth publicity tour in London took an athletic turn Saturday, when he and son/co-star Jayden stopped by the UEFA Champions Festival in London to take some shots on former Manchester United goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar. After an epic whiff by the elder Smith — Jayden nailed his shot attempt — it’s a good thing he has that rapping and acting career to fall...
Angels’ Dane De La Rosa Has The Cutest Backpack Ever
You have to love it when MLB teams use hazing in a very subtle way. Making Dane De La Rosa wear this very sparkly backpack would be one of those times, and we think it looks spectacular. De La Rosa is finally getting his shot in the majors and making the most of it this year with the Angels after hanging around in the minor leagues for 10 years.

Arjen Robben Nails Borussia Dortmund’s Keeper In The Face
Borussia Dortmund keeper Roman Weidenfeller was willing to risk pretty much anything to make sure his side won the UEFA Champions League final against FC Bayern Munich. Case in point is Weidenfeller taking a ball from Bayern Munich’s Arjen Robben to the face like it was nothing. Well done.

The Texas Rangers Successfully Pull The Wool Over The Umpires’ Eyes
You have to give the Texas Rangers credit for pulling a fast one on the umpire’s Friday night in Seattle. Seattle’s Jesus Sucre did his best to not be the second out of a double play after his grounder. After successfully converting the force out at second base, Elvis Andrus tossed the ball to first but the ball was intercepted by Texas pitcher Justin Grimm. Mitch Moreland...
John Clayton’s Tosses First Pitch At Mariners Game
ESPN’s John Clayton received the honor of tossing out the first pitch before the Seattle Mariners’ game on Friday night. Clayton took to the mound sans a ponytail, and did his best to make the grunge folks of old proud. Unfortunately his pitch ended up falling just a bit short of home plate. Good game, good effort.

Dortmund And Bayern Fans Fighting In London
Some pregame aggro from the German brethren. Whole lotta nothing if you ask me. Where’s Elijah Wood when you need him?

This Is A Double Play
Oh, wait, no it’s not. But it was called that way. Also, Jeff Nelson, the umpire at fault, shouldn’t be confused with the former Yankees and Mariners pitcher who, coincidentally, happens to call Seattle home these days.
In other news, the Mariners lost (again), which renders a blunder like this essentially meaningless.

Dwyane Wade Drops A Rather Unnecessary Elbow On Lance Stephenson
One of these years, Dwyane Wade will make it through a playoff series against the Indiana Pacers without delivering a cheap shot. At least he displayed a little more tact this time around, delivering the transition ‘bow to Lance Stephenson’s dome while nobody was looking. Well, without the refs looking, that is. As for the cameras? Someone should remind Dwyane that they capture...
Mark DeRosa Avoids Flying Mitt, Makes Great Catch
In the eighth inning of the Blue Jays and Orioles game Friday, Mark DeRosa caught a limping pop-up that trailed foul just inside the front row seats along the 3rd-baseline. Upon retrieval of the foul pop-up off the bat of wunderkind Matt Wieters, DeRosa slips right as he gets to the wall, avoids several sets of fan hands, and then somehow still manages to make the catch. The...
Will Smith And Alfonso Ribeiro Bust A Move In London
There have been new developments in the mini-Fresh Prince reunion trip to London (all we had before were paparazzi pics from a night on the town). Will Smith made a guest appearance on the Graham Norton Show, and gave the audience a dance performance almost 20 years in the making, first inviting Ribeiro out to do his signature moves, followed by a rendition of the equally classic...

Paul George posterizes Birdman on dunk
Paul George of the Indiana Pacers is budding into a very good NBA player, and his talents were on display on Friday night during game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals. Towards the end of the third quarter Paul had the ball at the top of the key and was being guarded by LeBron James. George flew by LeBron and finished a nasty drive to the hole by dunking all over Birdman. ...
Curtis Granderson Breaks Bone In Hand (Again)
Curtis Granderson is somewhere crying on the inside. In just his eighth game back after nearly missing the first 40 games due to a broken forearm caused by a hit-by-pitch, Granderson took another pitch to his body – this time off of his left hand. Immediately, the pain was felt everywhere, including Brian Cashman’s gut. Although Granderson remained in the game after the...
LeBron James Had a Freakishly Athletic Play Right Before Halftime
This one really doesn’t need much of an introduction, as words can’t properly do it justice. Check out LeBron pulling off a double pump one-handed cross court pass to Mike Miller who nailed a three pointer at the buzzer. That takes some skill.
He also did this to start out the 3rd quarter.

Lil Jon Tosses Horrible Ceremonial First Pitch At Dodgers’ Game
Lil Jon was bestowed the honor of tossing out the first pitch on Friday night at Chavez Ravine as the Dodgers took on the Cardinals. The result was an absolutely awful attempt that was just a bit outside. What??? OK….

Brian Shaw Gets a Technical Foul For Saying “Ball Don’t lie”
Somewhere, Rasheed Wallace is giggling like a little school girl. Pacers assistant coach Brian Shaw got a technical foul during the second quarter of game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals for yelling “Ball Don’t Lie” after Ray Allen missed a free throw. Brian was angry as he thought Sam Young didn;t deserve a technical foul which he got on the previous play.

Seahawks Rookie WR Justin Veltung Can Jump Higher Than You Can
Undrafted free agent receiver Justin Veltung was picked up by the Seattle Seahawks this week, and the video of him jumping surfaced shortly thereafter. No more intro needed, the dude just crushes a 56′ inch super jump like it was nothing.

Ibizious Energy Drink
This is an ad for Ibizious Energy Drink. It runs about four minutes long and, after watching it, I’m still not entirely sure what’s going on. Apparently the super strength given to you by this will help you fight zombies and turn you into an old video game character. Very, very strange…but totally mesmerizing.

Paul George Toned The Outfit Down a Notch For Game 2
Paul George wore a very intriguing outfit to Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Finals, and folks couldn’t help but wonder what he had in store for Game 2. The answer is simply that he toned it down a notch, but it is still fairly snazzy.
Here is the outfit for Game 2:

Here Is The Home Alex Rodriguez Just Sold For $30 Million
Alex Rodriguez reportedly just sold his Miami Beach mansion for $30 million, and it looks like it is worth every penny. According to numerous sources, Alex had purchased the home for a mere $7.4 million in 2010. I am definitely not a math major, but that seems like a decent return on investment. The full listing is available on Sotheby’s, and you can take a tour of the digs...
