Back in August, Linda Hogan went on just about every hacky radio show that would listen to her about her book, “Wrestling the Hulk: My Life Against the Ropes”, and eventually that took her to Matty P’s Happy Hour, which is a show that has featured such celebrities as Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite and that swastika-tattooed girl that Jesse James slept with. A “caller” asked Linda if it was true that her ex-husband, Hulk Hogan, and Brutus “The Barber” Beefcake had a homosexual relationship, and she was totally surprised that someone asked her about something she wrote about in her book that she was promoting. So of course she said yes, while trying to be coy about it so she didn’t “end up getting a lawsuit.”

*record scratch*

As reported earlier, the wrestling icon, 58, filed court papers last week accusing his ex, 52, of defamation, after she accused him of brutal physical abuse and cheating on her with a male wrestler.

Clarified Hogan about Linda’s charge that he had a sexual relationship with fellow wrestler Brutus Beefcake: “If any of that was true, I would admit it, and I was a homosexual I would embrace it. It’s just so crazy to hear, so I have a real problem with it….If you’re going to say I’m something that I’m not to try to ruin my career and my livelihood….I have to answer her back.”

It is being reported that Brutus (real name: Edward Leslie) is also suing Linda for defamation, and I’m quite eager to see the judge’s response to a man who spent the 80s dressed as a flamboyant, shirtless barber in a bowtie, with the last name Beefcake. But damn straight, pun mildly intended, that’ll show the woman who just took 70% of everything Hogan had. Now he can get some of that money back and spend the rest of his life trying to get this picture off the Internet…

Von Wafer has played for 6 NBA teams since he was drafted in the second round of the 2005 NBA Draft, so it came as little surprise that he chose to play in Italy for a year instead of waiting out the lockout. But it’s not his paltry 7.3 ppg career scoring average that has people buzzing like sassy little bees today. It’s a Tweet that Wafer – real name Vakeaton Quamar Wafer – allegedly sent out yesterday around 4:30 p.m. and that remained on his Twitter for hours after. As you can read above, Von may have announced to the world that he’s gay.

Wafer’s agent denied that the guard could have posted such a Tweet, as he was on a plane from Italy to the U.S. at the time, but it’s really quite puzzling why a guy with a profile as low as Wafer’s would suddenly be the target for a good, old-fashioned “I’mma Tweet you’re gay” prank. In fact, let’s put on our conspiracy glasses – Gucci, natch – for a second and wonder out loud. Six teams in 6 years, and while playing for the Boston Celtics (his last NBA team) he was involved in a random locker room fist fight with Delonte West, for which there never was much of an explanation other than “They were competing for the same position.”

Could Wafer’s decision to play in Italy have been spurred by the lack of tolerance for his homosexuality as much as it was about a paycheck? Or is this just a simple prank that someone pulled on Wafer, whose nickname is also “The Dutch Cookie.” Only time will tell, I guess.

The Nike design department strikes again, this time in Dallas-Ft. Worth with the reimagination of the Texas Christian University football team’s uniform set. My goodness gracious, those look like absolute ass. I could see Adam Lambert’s backup dancers wearing something like this, because they look both glitzy and cheap. Too much color-blocking, monochromatic numerals (stenciled, no less), and the V-neck is way too necky. It’s not supposed to stretch halfway across the back. Oh, and they took the horned frog off the helmet.

Nike, I hate you so much. I’d burn your entire Oregon operation to the ground if I knew you couldn’t make a commerative jersey over it. Via Eye On Fornelli.

While I don’t think I even need to remind you, the Track Cycling World Cup took place over the weekend at the Manchester Velodrome in England, as international teams competed in what was one of the first true tests for track cycling before the 2012 Summer Olympics. But the highlight of the event came during the Keirin Final – whatever that was – as four cyclists crashed on the final bend of the race. One of those cyclists, Azizulhasni Awang of Malaysia, got back up and finished the race, earning a bronze medal. While it’s already an impressive enough feat to crash and recover to still win a medal, Awang’s finish had a bit more style. He had a 9-inch wooden splinter jammed through his leg.

And if that wasn’t cool enough, Awang’s bronze medal finish earned him the overall Track Cycling World Cup title. Early word is that he plans to compete in the London Olympics after sawing off his feet and lighting himself on fire. Meanwhile, I was raking the trap after a bunker shot on Saturday and I got a 2mm splinter in my hand. I still finished the back 9 without a problem, so I totally know how Azizulhasni feels. We’re the real heroes.

Food Should Taste Good is a 5-year old company that manufactures snack foods that are both delicious and good for us. And while that idea goes against everything that I and this fine country stand for, people seem to dig it. Damn democracy.

Back in January, FSTG announced a competition for fans to create, record and submit their most creative touchdown dances, and the winner would receive $10,000 (probably in organic hippie money). Well the winner has been announced, and Nathan Barnatt’s one-man pass-catch-dance routine has made him and his video’s director, Paul Cummings (Hehehehehehehehehe), $10K richer.

After the jump, check out Barnatt’s winning video, as well as a couple other entries that I dug up…

Cheerleader Trust Fail – Watch more Funny Videos

The first two seconds of this video–coupled with the fact that it’s on the internet, and that it’s posted here, tell you all you need to know about what’s going to happen. Some cheerleader hanging out with two of her guy friends who, and this is just a shot in the dark here, probably don’t play football or any other activity that involves the act of catching. Okay, maybe one of them does. Zing. You got me.

So yeah, just sit in white-knuckled despair for 33 seconds and wait for what you know is going to happen. Just remember, an attack on one cheerleader is an attack on all. Cheerleaders are just like NATO, but with better asses.
