Oakland Athletics catcher Mike Piazza (yes, believe it or not, he does still play - you can officially start scouring MLB rosters to see if Matt Williams or Mark Grace will also turn up on some team) decided to make use of this novel concept of the American legal system and request...

Predictably, this poor fool hits the not-so-flat landing area only to experience a Sid-Viciousesque bone-crushing impact. The poor boarder ends up helplessly sliding down the drift, legs unable to serve him. Apparently marijuana only helps you get high in one manner.

..after reading that Martin has joined the parade of MLB'ers who have been romantically linked to former 'Charmed' and 'Who's The Boss' starlet Alyssa Milano, I'm not sure Martin's stock can get any higher unless he suddenly receives the Democratic nod...

...if you actually tip the cart, a feat I have never personally accomplished, I would advise running the hell away, or calling the ranger for help. At least if you're stupid enough to consider trying to tip it back upright while standing directly where the cart is going to end...

As a former competitive swimmer, I am both amazed and extremely jealous of this kid. It might be a little wrong to ask, but how does he get out of the pool???

All I know is that from now on I'm going to think twice about making fun of any products that have the little 'Made In Taiwan' sticker on the back of them. As a general rule of thumb, it's never a good idea to make fun of a country which could conceivably unleash an...

Former UCLA Bruin J.R. Henderson, a player on that reneging groom's national championship team in 1995, has apparently been playing professional basketball for quite some time in Japan of all places. And how much has Henderson immersed himself in Japanese culture over that period...

The whole time I watched this clip I kept waiting for the girl to hit another sledder or someone walking up the hill, or maybe pull a Clark Griswold and slide over a road.

Allegedly, Lohan is involved in a $25,000 bet with her friends that she can get in the sack with David Beckham. It's unconfirmed, however, that if Lohan wins the bet, the $25,000 will go to pay off whichever one of her grimey, fire-crotch, friends bailed her out of her morning...
Security At Miami Nightclub Has No Desire To See Why Dennis Rodman Is Called "The Worm"
July 23, 2007 by

But as the story goes on, there are definitely facets of it that do justify leveling a verbal assault on Rodman, namely the part of the story where it's revealed that Dennis decided to remove all of his clothes and had to be begged by club security to not remove his underwear.
VIDEO: Sleeping On The Track Isn't A Good Way To Win A Race

I thought the point of the gun going off in a track race was to signify that the race was underway. This guy thought the point of the gun was to wake you up while you're sleeping in the blocks before the race starts.

Or at least he loves the one in this picture, who probably is undefeated in the under twenty five pound weight class. Mike, I just can't thank you enough for supplying me with enough material to write about your transgressions for the rest of my life. Now if you'll excuse me...

This is a commercial for Chipshot clubs. Not as funny as the baseball commercial with the foul ball that keeps hitting everyone in the crotch, but pretty good nonetheless.

Being fat now enables people to sue. Great. I'll make sure to never cross Oliver Miller in my life. What's next? Will being ugly give people standing to sue? If so, I'd advise avoiding Cadillac Anderson and Shelden Williams at all costs.

I'd have to say this is about the worst possible end result of a man's day playing golf. I'd take a snowman on every hole before I'd ever want to experience this.

Former New Kids On The Block (excuse me, NKOTB) badboy Donnie Wahlberg is apparently a big Boston Celtics fan, and thankfully for the team's fanbase, Wahlberg thinks the 2007-2008 Celtics are very close to having 'The Right Stuff' (awful pun fully intended). Wahlberg thinks...

Toting the little Becklets behind her hubby as they make the move to L.A., Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham appears more poised for life in the Hollywood limelight than snarly bloggers like myself were originally led to believe. Apparently Mrs. Beckham recently rejected an offer...

To combat the demons preventing him from hitting home runs (or singles for that matter), Bonds has sought the guidance of the always impartial Reverend Jesse Jackson. The two were recently spotted praying in the Giants' clubhouse. Initially, I was skeptical about Bonds' decision...

...check out Sullivan receive the aforementioned slash, score a goal, then seek out the same fan who was mocking his injury earlier and stick it to that fan after the fan somehow gets hurt in the crowd. The sheer timing of these events makes you think there is a higher power in the hockey world.

You're an athlete warming up for your event, and suddenly you feel a sharp pain in your back. Is it a cramp? No, that's not it. Bee sting? No, not quite. Oh, how about a freaking javelin?

So why the big turnaround for the Indians with a roster that remains, in large part, very similar to last season's disappointing 2006 squad? I'm chalking it up to Cleveland leftfielder Jason Michaels enhancing his all-around baseball game this season. After a rocky 2006 defensively...
