The Biggest Tease Of A Fake Sports Story

Written by Ashley Burns / 03.22.12

Michael Bay's pet tiger El Tigre Magnifico is listening to "Here Comes the Boom."

Hollywood Director, Michael Bay Buys Canucks

I’ll allow Pam from Archer to give a visual breakdown of my brain upon reading that:

Unfortunately, it took me just two sentences to understand that it was a fake news story, and words can’t even express how disappointed that made me. And there’s obviously no point in discussing a fake sports story, but it’s the basic idea of a guy like Bay purchasing a professional sports franchise that I’ve bumped to the top of my list of things that need to happen immediately.

K-Swiss Now Bigger Than Cable Television And/Or Drugs

Written by Brandon Stroud / 07.11.11

Kenny Powers K-SWISS

It looks like Funny Or Die has officially embraced the longstanding Tosh.0 tradition of cramming your funny video full of sports celebrities to get it covered everywhere on the Internet — just a week after they recast Dennis Haysbert as Terrence Mann in a Twilight-flavored Field of Dreams sequel, Funny Or Die has revisited the Kenny Powers K-Swiss endorsement by having him take over the company and stock it with everyone from Matt Cassel to Rey Mysterio.

Watch the full video below, with two major warnings:

1. It is extremely funny, and
2. It features Kenny Powers, so please anticipate the foul language and adult situations that result.

This includes boob mugs and high-fiving dead animals.

Because this is also television related, be sure to head over to Warming Glow and watch all the awesome follow-up and behind-the-scenes videos that go along with it. Who knew you could bottle the scent … of boner?

[h/t Cajun Boy]
