After his first round KO over former Strikeforce middleweight champ Luke Rockhold at UFC on FX 8, Vitor Belfort was questioned by MMA journalist John Morgan about his use of the controversial testosterone-replacement therapy and he responded by asking, “Can somebody beat him up for me, please?” You know, because he’s a 36-year old professional athlete and adult who gets better with age, so obviously he acts like it, too.

But somewhere between Sunday night and yesterday, someone took a moment to explain to Belfort how he came across like a total d*ckhead – unless you think that Morgan was the a-hole for asking about TRT right after Belfort’s win – and the No. 2-ranked contender for the UFC Middleweight belt issued a very sincere-yet-sloppy apology on Twitter.

What you’re looking at is the best-possible and most serendipitous sports “selfie” you can take.

Meet Tampa Bay Rays reporter Kelly Nash. In addition to being pretty and having a great baseball job, she comes equipped with a magical forcefield that keeps her from getting drilled by fly balls when she’s taking Instagram pics at Fenway Park instead of paying attention. The photo hasn’t been doctored … in fact, representatives from the Rays speaking with Yahoo Sports seemed surprised at the idea that anyone WOULD doctor a photo like that, and I have to agree. I can’t get my phone to take a picture of anything more mobile than a bowl of fruit without it blurring up. This photo was a gift.

If you’re wondering what mystical force kept Kelly from getting brained, here’s a quick conversation from her Twitter this morning explaining why she and actor Tony Danza are so very much alike:

ESPN sideline reporter Jenn Brown took batting practice with the South Carolina Gamecocks baseball team at the College World Series recently, and if you’ve never seen the former Florida Gators softball player take a cut, it’s a thing of beauty. Lost Letterman compares her to Ichiro. Not sure I’d go that far, but it’s close. At the very least she looks a lot better swinging a bat than Rachel Nichols would.

She even gives switch-hitting a try, but just like me, she’s better from the left than the right. Unlike me, she hits most of the balls thrown her way, and she never does that thing where she pretends like her wrists are hurting and that’s why she’s not doing well.

If that’s not enough to make you watch the video, here’s the hard sell from South Carolina coach Ray Tanner:

“She’s got a really nice swing; really nice swing. Technique, fluid, and she’s got better wheels than anyone we’ve got,” Tanner said. “She’s a step faster than Tanner English. She’s got nice wheels. Have you ever seen her run?”

Video is after the jump.

Watching this video is like watching the birth of a beautiful child.

Via D.C. Sports Blog:

As you can see, one zealous Toronto media member in the postgame scrum asked Harper if he’ll be enjoying a “celebratory Canadian beer” after his monstrous home run. Nats PR quickly shut down the question, but not before Harper uttered the phrase that is sure to end up on a T-shirt by noon:

“That’s a clown question, bro.”

I hope you like that phrase. You’ll be hearing it a lot.

Because that is absolutely right, here are a few of my favorite #thatsaclownquestionbro tweets from this morning’s GET THE JOKES IN AS FAST AS POSSIBLE bonanza. Do you want to read them? That’s a clown question, bro.

I’m not saying that women have it easy when it comes to picking out a business-appropriate wardrobe, but there’s something to be said for having awareness of what you’re putting out there. Such was the lesson learned by Versus’ Lindsay Soto who, in the midst of interviewing Anaheim’s Rob Niedermayer during a stoppage in play last night, gave Niedermayer more of a show than she’d planned. Try a button-down next time, Linds. Think of the buttons as adjusting the curtain length for those wonderful, wonderful gifts which The Lord hath bestowed onto you. Oh, was I not supposed to notice? Whatever.

See the whole peepshow unfold through the magic of video after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
