Muggsy Bouges & Manute Bol

Here we have a picture of Muggsy Bogues and Manute Bol.  Look how big that fool is, and look how little that other fool is!!


Manute Bol is the tallest player to ever play in the NBA, measuring in at an enormous 7'7".  The man also only weighed 230 lbs. Talk about a string bean....


Muggsy Bogues is the shortest player to ever play in the NBA. He stood at a whopping 5'3", 136 lbs. Dude was tiny.

Kobe Bryant, 11 years old...


I wonder if any of the people in this photo knew he would grow up to be the greatest of all time... It's crazy that it looks like Kobe, just as a little kid. I'm digging his flat top for sure.

I wonder if he knew he would have millions of fans, all over the globe? Millions of dollars from shoe contracts? Must be nice to be the greatest...

Jets Defeat Pats; Advance to AFC Championship

The New York Jets defeated the (heavily favored) New England Patriots 28-21. That means the Jets are headed to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers in their second straight AFC Championship game.

ESPN | Rapid Reaction: Jets vs. Pats


For the record, I pretty much called the outcome of that game:


This should be a defensive match-up for the ages, but I feel like the Jets might be able to pull this one off...

My Prediction: Jets by 3

What do the Matrix and surfing have in common?



Well, previously the two had nothing in common, besides the fact that wetsuit material was named after the main character (see: neoprene. Ed note: this is not necessarily a fact, more of a stupid joke.) Check out this video made for Rip Curl by Timeslice Films.
Check out more of their work over at their website...

You can have your own one-armed MLB Pitcher...


So it looks like Fathead.com is selling a Jim Abbott Fathead. Why anyone would want to have a one-armed pitcher on their wall is besides me, but it might be you...



Abbott had a solid 10 year career (1989-1999), and even has a 1993 no-hitter to his name.  Even though he was an AL pitcher for most of his career, he hit a triple in a spring training game, and one-time teammate Mariano Rivera claims he's seen Abbot hitting home-runs in batting practice...





Ed. Note: I hope my girlfriend doesn't see this. She's not too fond of the one-handies...

Ehhhh, what's up Doc?


Sooo yesterday, Doc Halladay (aka Roy Halladay aka The Best Pitcher of our time) threw a no-hitter, in his first ever playoff appearance.  It is his second no-hitter this season, the other one being a perfect game vs. the Florida Marlins.

Man Hug.
It is only the second no-hitter in the playoffs in the Modern Era of baseball. Pretty impressive if you ask me. The guy was striking people out left and right. Stud.

Tiger Woods, ya'll...


So this past weekend, one of Tiger Wood's golf balls flew straight at a photographers camera, and he managed to perfectly capture the moment. Pretty cool pic. But check out the guy with the headgear and a cigar in his mouth. Now that's a class act...

He's become the star of the photo, and there's already some pretty funny photoshops going around like this one...

Like sports? Like money?

I'm going to assume that you answered yes to both. How would you like some FREE money to bet on sports with?


The best part is, its COMPLETELY FREE. No gimmicks (your bets are supported by advertisements), and you have the option to increase your bet by up to 50%, even 100% sometimes.  When you build up enough dough, you can cash out, and they'll send you a check in the mail...

Pretty sweet!

Baseball's dirtiest beard...


Dangggg! Look at that beard! Giants closer Brian Wilson has brought the infamous "Playoff Beard" from the NHL to the MLB. He dyes the beard to make him "less recognizable" on the field...



Update: I forgot to mention that The Beard is so popular, it has it's own Twitter account...

Nothing like some on-field justice...

So you know how when someone runs across the field, security is almost always too slow to catch them? Well here's one solution to that problem...


See the video HERE

The Brave's Matt Diaz took it upon himself to stop this distraction in a red suit. And let me just say: Perfectly Executed...

Talk about Mr. Clutch...


With 12 career walk off home-runs, Jim Thome is tied for the all-time lead.  
Other players tied with 12:
  • Jimmie Foxx
  • Mickey Mantle
  • Stan Musial
  • Frank Robinson
  • Babe Ruth

Any of those names ring a bell?

Also, Jim Thome is currently number 8 on the all-time home runs list, right behind Sammy Sosa.

Laziest cops ever...

So last night in Baltimore, a kid jumps on the field and runs around aimlessly, probably expecting to be tackled by the on-field cops/ security immediately. Instead, he runs around for two minutes while the Baltimore PD slowly walk in his general direction. After one foiled attempt to jump back into the stands, he runs for a little bit more until the home plate ump walks towards him and tells him to knock it off. He freezes and lets the 5-0 grab him...




Even though he got arrested, it was the best "fan on the field" run I've ever seen...

Oh my, how things have changed...

Here are the newest lines from Vegas concerning the 2011 NBA Champions...

Miami (25-to-1) now the 7-to-5 favorite.
Los Angeles Lakers (7-to-2) and still 7-to-2.
Orlando Magic (5-to-1) to a very generous 8-to-1.
Boston Celtics (5-to-1) to 10-to-1.
Denver Nuggets (10-to-1) to 12-to-1.
Oklahoma City Thunder (15-to-1) to 14-to-1.
San Antonio Spurs (20-to-1) to 25-to-1.
Dallas Mavericks (20-to-1) to 25-to-1.
Chicago Bulls (18-to-1) to a tempting 25-to-1.
The Cleveland Cavaliers plunged from 8-to-1 to 75-to-1.

Sorry Cleveland, things will never be the same...
