Bob’s Blitz sent this over, and there’s no way that it’s real. An 8th grade basketball team passes to a fat kid at the last second and he just throws it up over his head, and it GOES IN. Everyone cheers, and the fat kid is a hero. This doesn’t happen in real life. If happens in stuff like Heavyweights. Go-karts can’t jump other go-karts, and husky 8th graders don’t drain buckets like this. (via Bob’s)

"Haha, I don't have an agent either!"

Never in a million years would I have ever thought I’d say, “Please, bring back Bow Wow.” But there I was last night, flipping through the channels during a timeout in the Miami Heat’s series-clinching victory over the Indiana Pacers, when I stumbled upon the film Like Mike 2: Streetball, as it aired on BET. I was 23 when the original Like Mike was in theaters, so it wasn’t exactly my type of film, and needless to say that a 2006 straight-to-DVD sequel wouldn’t be my cup of Sanka either.

But there it was, in all its glory – the rehashed, recycled and redonkulous sequel to the story of a kid who receives the magical ability to play basketball like Michael Jordan from a pair of dirty old sneakers hanging from a power line. This time, instead of Bow Wow’s Calvin Cambridge, the young hero is Jascha Washington’s Jerome, who is the son of a streetball legend and therefore wants to be the best as well. The only problem is he’s too young and small and clichéd.

LeBron Congratulates the Mavericks - Whoever wrote this did a really good job! [Sportress of Blogitude]

This Week in F**k You: Footnotes - This is how big of a dork I am: the article references David Foster Wallace’s footnotes, and my only frame of reference for them is Dave Barry. You’re ripping off Dave Barry, Bill Simmons! What’re you gonna do next, write 20,000 words about boogers? [Kissing Suzy Kolber]

The Best and Worst of WWE All-Star Raw 6/13 - I had my first ever Podcast interview last night with TH’s The Wrestling Blog, and if I learned nothing else, it’s that I should stick to writing paragraphs and not try to talk to people about things in real life. I am a rambling interrupting machine! [With Spandex]

TNA Wrestler Qualifies for Food Stamps - and about 3/4 of the roster can qualify for disability, what’s your point? Jesse Neal should qualify for being a professional wrestler by being better at wrestling professionally. Shannon Moore has like eight houses, and he’s terrible. [Camel Clutch Blog]

Not Sports (but oh man)

The Kate Upton Guide To Becoming An Internet Sensation By Your 19th Birthday - Whoops, here’s Kate Upton again, because I don’t have any qualifiers or precedent for who gets to be my Morning Links Lovely Lady of the Bottom Half. Also, every time I post a link about her, I’ve got an excuse to Google image search the sh** out of her. [Next Round]

Good For Health, Bad For Careers: A Gallery Of Careers That Suffered From Sudden Weight Shifts - Already getting tired of seeing people refer to Fat Joe as “Not So Fat Joe!” As someone who has lost 100 pounds in his life (twice, nearly) I appreciate rappers getting in shape, and D’Angelo looking like Kimbo Slice. [Smoking Section]

Scene Breakdown: Cool As Ice - Good for health, bad for careers: signing up to be in a movie with Vanilla Ice. I think my version of this scene breakdown would just be a big picture of Vanilla with “owns motorcycle, is bad boy” under it in big letters. [Film Drunk]

Sean Bean Stabbed in Bar Fight, Orders Another Drink - Not as good as the headline from a few years ago, Sean Bean Dropped Onto Satellite Dish From Great Height, Orders Another Drink. (note: he ordered it shaken, not stirred) (professional comedy writer) [Warming Glow]

TV Show Names According To My Mom - One of my least favorite memories of all time is playing Charades with my family. My Aunt guessed “The Bart Simpson Show” and my family gave it to her. Almost killed myself in front of them. [Buzzfeed]

Sports

Baseball Biking Tour - This guy is riding his bike across the country, stopping at every Major League Baseball park along the way. I wish I had the time and stamina to pull something like this off. All I can do is watch MLBTV on a stationary bike. [Facebook]

Keyboard Warriors - We’ve had tons of unauthorized Dugout ripoffs and “tributes”, so when somebody e-mails me and says “hey would you mind if we do this”, I say WELL OF COURSE and pat them on the back and shake their hands. Check out CP’s MMA-flavored Dugout. And yeah, eventually I’m gonna do one. /cracks knuckles [Cage Potato]

The Dugout: Nobody is Upset About Anything - … and in case you missed it yesterday, the original. The new deal (no, not that one) is that tons of comments lead to daily Dugouts. I’m a needy writer who wants to keep his editor job, give me a break. [The Dugout]

House of Punte: Football Fans In the South are Crazy - BRING BACK PUNTE! It’s weird, you’d think somebody who talks as much as me and knows so much about useless bullsh** would’ve started a podcast in like, 1988. Oh well. Until the muse moves me (and then immediately stops moving me), listen to this one instead. [KSK]

Not Sports

Dia Frampton Makes Me Swoon - Every now and then, a cute girl wanders onto one of these singing competition shows and makes me watch it for an entire season. Watch Dia of “The Voice” do an awesome piano version of Kanye West’s “Heartless”, elevating herself above the American Idol crowd by singing passionately to music and having actual musical talent. Best part is Christina Aguilera’s doggie head cock of confused jealousy at the two minute mark. [YouTube]

Tron Guy on America’s Got Talent - And now the opposite of Dia Frampton, a fat guy who thinks “wearing a costume I made several years ago” and “being on the Internet” are talents. You are worse than 60 kids making shadow puppets, Tron Guy. [Warming Glow]

Universal is Rebooting The Wolfman - I sure wish “rebooting” wasn’t a word you could use for movies. The terrible Benicio Del Toro version of this is like a year old, so hey, why not? Fill the movie with teens! [Film Drunk]

Keep Calm and Check Out All These Posters – I think these are all smashing. And if they were selling them at the team shop of the Kennedy Center after a performance of “Mary Poppins” I’d probably buy one. [Gamma Squad]

If you’ve ever been at a Justin Timberlake move and thought to yourself “Man, I wonder how this could possibly get more douchy” then you’re in luck. Alex Rodriguez has been cast alongside Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis in their movie Friends with Benefits. Once Mila’s done with amateur hour, I have a couple roles for her, myself. Specifically roles as a nurse, police office, and pirate, but I think she has the range to handle anything I throw her way. I mean, she was on That 70′s Show.

Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis are starring in the upcoming movie “Friends With Benefits,” and someone just got added to the cast…drum roll please…none other than the Lightning Rod…Alex Rodriguez..The Yankees slugger will make his big-screen debut in the upcoming comedy..Rounding out the cast is Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone and Andy Samberg..Filming is scheduled to begin this month in and around New York. The production will work around A-Rod’s Yankees schedule..mostly shooting his scenes on his off days..According to my sources, A-Rod will portray himself..and not actually play a character..which is unfortunate because A-Rod is one damn good actor.. -TO –TerezOwens

“Rounding out the cast is Woody Harrelson, Emma Stone, and Andy Samberg.” I wish I hallucinated myself reading that. This sounds like the worst movie of all time. I’m willing to bet that A-Rod’s acting has a strong start at the beginning of the movie, but beings to fall off after the emotional crux. I’d still rather have my eyes pried open and have a gallon of lemon juice dropped on them while watching Sex and the City 2 on repeat than this garbage. Thank goodness they at least hired some eye candy. Prepare to have a cornea cavity after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
