In the least surprising news of the month and possibly year, suspended New Orleans Saints linebacker Jonathan Vilma is still super pissed off at NFL commissioner Roger Goodell for making him the poster boy of what was lazily dubbed “Bountygate”. For a refresher, the league banned Vilma for a year – as well as Gregg Williams for eternity and Sean Payton for the season, among others – because of a cooler full of evidence that was delivered to the NFL by George Bluth’s former secretary Kitty, if I’ve understood this whole thing correctly.

Vilma has since called baloney on Goodell, as has Drew Brees and other Saints players, but Ol’ Iron Fist Goodell ain’t care. So Vilma has now responded in the most drastic manner possible – he banned Goodell from his Miami BBQ restaurant, Brother Jimmy’s. How serious is Vilma? He hung a sign in the window.

Here’s the explanation for why a guy would get “I SLEPT WITH SHAQ” tattooed across his face, in case you don’t know about “gonzo journalism”.

[The] tattoo across his forehead truly seals his gonzo credentials. Removing his Raiders cap, he displays it, sprawled in oddly formal cursive: “I Slept With Shaq.” He got the ink during a contest for Lakers NBA Finals tickets in 2001, a challenge presented by Power morning-show DJ Big Boy. Gonzalez showed the handiwork to Shaq — who was impressed — and Big Boy soon gave him a job at the station.

First bit of advice: don’t try to get a job from anyone named “DJ Big Boy”. (via The Basketball Jones)

The U.S. Open went down this weekend, and in case you didn’t get the memo, golf is suddenly the weirdest f**king thing ever.

Example one: PGA fans taking the random Tiger Woods swing-shouting (“MASHED POTATOES”, “YEAH PLAYA”, etc.) to another level by screaming YABBA DABBA DOO during Graeme McDowell’s* shot on the 15th. Most people know Fred Flintstone could bowl, but don’t forget that he was also a championship golfer. Not sure when Fred became a big Graeme McDowell fan, or how he’s still alive in 2012. 99% sure that’s not the real Fred Flintstone.

Example two: U.S. Open winner Webb Simpson was being interviewed by Bob Costas, and they were interrupted by a guy in a Union Jack mohawk winter hat doing bird calls. No, seriously:

“Shoenice” (he’s the one in the video wearing a shirt with SHOENICE across the front) is a comedian from upstate New York and a Yankees fan who has amassed a decent amount of side-eyed Internet fame for eating random sh*t — bottles of Elmer’s Glue, tampons, an entire box of crayons, etc. — and while it’s not even remotely related to sports I’m gonna quote the NEW YORK YANKEES, CRAZY FANS and COMPETITIVE EATING tags and say f**k you, it’s Friday.

This is easily my favorite video he’s ever done, 10% for the absurdity of a guy thinking this was a good or desirable idea and 80% for the hilarious commentary of his friends. Here’s a definitive list:

- “Oh myeh God, GOD DAMNehhh”
- “You’re rocking, dude!”
- “Niiice, bro!”
- “Ohson!/Oh my God!”
- “Yer da man!”
- “Woo! Woo.”

The final 10% is for visual proof that Shoenice has friends. I’m guessing he used his glue-chugging money to make these guys paid extras.
