Why, they have all attended the NBA Finals, of course! Originally, this post was titled, “Hey, Did Kelly Clarkson Get Hot Again?” but then I saw a story in the Dallas Voice about the Westboro Baptist protesting the NBA Finals in Dallas because the NBA had the nerve to fine Kobe Bryant and Joakim Noah for using “f*ggot” as an insult in two different games this season, and I wanted to point out that the WBC seriously sucks.

From the WBC’s batsh*t crazy ramblings press release:

WBC will picket the NBA game between the Dallas Mavericks and the Miami Heat to warn this nation that they need to tear down their idols and worship only the true God, Jesus Christ. The people of Doomed america set up these spoiled, rebellious basketball players and other celebrities as little gods that they emulate then curse the real God, Jesus Christ because He does not supprt their vile sins.

Of course I didn’t edit that for them, they’ll learn to spell when they get to the third grade. I’m mostly upset that their presence briefly took my attention away from the lack of star power at this year’s Finals. Granted Justin Bieber and Lil Wayne pack some major celeb cred, but ABC hasn’t even been filling the stands with the cast of Rookie Blue. The least they could do is put Sofia Vergara and Julie Bowen courtside and maybe have them pudding wrestle Elisha Cuthbert. It’s called marketing, damn it.

Regardless, there have been a few famous faces in the crowd, so we should enjoy what we have.

Emmitt Smith won’t be appearing on ESPN’s NFL coverage this fall, so if you’re jonesing for a state-of-the-art butchering of the English language, you’ll have to settle for videos like these. Here’s Smith “tailgating,” or at least pretending to do so, during an interview with some white guy from FOX Sports, so it makes sense that Smith would show love for the other white meat–pork. Smith speaks of “seranating” the new Cowboys Stadium with the smell of barbequed pork. He also calls Tashard Choice “Dashard,” gets Julius Jones and Felix Jones mixed up, and mentions the excitement Favre brings to “the city of Minnesota.” Oh, Emmitt. We’re gonna miss you this season. via.
