...where does that leave Gary Bettman and company? How about making crappy commercials over the last few years that attack bowling as a sport? What's next on the agenda, Gary? Maybe a mass ad campaign detailing how much more exciting hockey is than the equestrian?

Check out Brendan Haywood's busch-league play and tell me if it doesn't remind you of a certain snitch-hater. Then check out Eddy Curry's attack method on a pinned-down Haywood and tell me if it doesn't remind you of epic benchwarmer Evans. So we can thank the Bulls...

Let's thank God that the revolutionary concept of gunpowder has apparently not made its way to The Land Down Under yet. When I was a young teen, I remember being concerned with trying to score with chicks. When I was a mid-aged teen, I remember being concerned with how I was going...

Just watch the replay of this shot later in the video. If this were Tiger Woods or Lefty Mickelfat, they'd be screaming 'Awww shit?FORE!' as soon as they made contact. But the hook back on this soccer shot is just absurd. I'm surprised the goalie didn't tear a groin...
Tiger Woods Narrating Roger Federer Commercial

Nike loves Tiger so much that they have him doing promos for tennis players. I don't remember seeing this ad on TV. Probably because Tiger sounds too much like a boyscout to narrate videos.
Ben Curtis Wants To Win More Major Golf Tournaments. Somehow This Actually Made A Story.

Ben Curtis wants to win more majors when he looks at his trophy from 2003. Glad I read a story verifying that for me. I was really uncertain if Ben's goal was to show up at the British Open and miss the cut so he can go sight seeing in England for an extra two days. I wonder if...

I do have to take a jab at Roger for some of his questionable fashion choices, though. Anyone else think this Nike Air hoodie text is just a tad absurdly oversized? It looks like it's from 1987 as well. I would think you could afford a little better now that you're hanging...

Here's a funny commercial produced by Nike where Tiger Woods narrates Roger Federer's life and rise to tennis dominance. The commercial is sort of a parody on many of the Nike commercial's showing Tiger's early life and rise to golf dominance...

Maybe it's time that youth soccer leagues follow the NHL and MLB's lead and get some protective netting around the playing surface. At least when "Number 11, Tony Donatelli…" is on the field. Little Tony tries to get a shot off in traffic, but it ends up sailing...

Knicks fans can rest easy. The team's newest malcontent import, Zach Randolph, is not really as bad of a guy as everyone thinks. Just look how friendly he becomes on Valentine's Day.

If there's one great thing that apparently is acceptable in the CFL but not the NFL, it's the ability to walk onto the field or in the locker room of your hometown team and steal the quarterback's helmet. At least that's the case for the Hamilton Tiger-Cats, as Hamilton...

Video footage from the Phillies versus Rockies game on Sunday. The weather got pretty rough and the Rockies' grounds crew, which surprisingly didn't bear any resemblance physique-wise to the American Gladiators, got completely overmatched by a piece of plastic and some wind...

Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James was allegedly spotted receiving a lap dance at the club Butter in New York City this week. Apparently his royal bloodline doesn't scoff at the notion of the King fratenizing with lowly peasant strippers. Either that or she was just really hot...

I've always thought Woody was a fool for doing something like that. A college football player would beat an old coach down quicker than Paris Hilton gets onto her knees when the camera starts rolling. But if the coach was attacking a less-than-imposing soccer player? That might be a smart play.

I know what the 1990's brought us in terms of All-Star Baseball. There was John Kruk's hilarious reaction to a Randy Johnson fastball that almost decapitated Kruk, and this probably would've been the most memorable All-Star moment of the 90's had the ball actually hit...

I don't know what Dean Cain's basketball skill level is, but my guess is it's not good enough to compete in MTV Rock N' Jock Basketball or one of the NBA All-Star Weekend Celebrity Games, let alone good enough to compete with players who are one step short of playing...

Everyone has to remember the immortal Keith Closs, right? He's a lanky 7′3″ center who once played for the L.A. Clippers sometime around 2000-2001. Actually, no NBA fans probably remember him at all for his on-the-court abilities, as the most famous accomplishment he...

Bonds apparently signed the poster sometime in 2001 when he was at the BALCO facilities not receiving illegal steroids. Early indications are that the minimum bid for the poster will be in the $10K range. I'd like to see Hank Aaron buy the thing and have it hung over Bonds'...

But I am confident that since I turned about 3 years old I could handle a minor bump in the snow better than this guy. He may be the first ever skier to attempt a jump and actually get no air whatsoever.
