I’m not sure we’ll ever take a better picture than this. It pits Team Harlem Nights (Red Foxx, Eddie Murphy and Richard Pryor) against Team Ghost Dad (Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier) in the coolest softball game 1990 could create. I want one of those Ghost Dad softball hats SO BAD. Although to be honest, if I’m assigning myself to a 1990 movie softball team, I’m probably Team Home Alone. (photo via Buzzfeed)

Teaching pro Marty McCurry has a new way to fix his students’ golf swing. If they don’t start swinging “inside-out,” he threatens to keep rapping. Enjoy!

I’ll be straight with you … when I saw that there was a Vanilla Ice parody video about golf called ‘Slice, Slice Baby,’ my first thought was, “oh great, the Golf Boys again.” Now I’m just happy that the Golf Boys have an N*SYNC to their Backstreet Boys. N*SYNC were the ones that would just randomly rap, right? Or was that everyone.

I hope this video catches on, because it can’t be too hard to put this in Actual Vanilla Ice’s hands and get him to cameo in the follow-up, which I assume would be called ‘What It’s Like (Havin’ A Rory)’. Buy him a sandwich at the clubhouse and he’s in!

Brad Lesley only spent four years in the Major Leagues as a relief pitcher; three years in Cincinnati, one in Milwaukee. He only racked up six saves in those four years, and a lifetime win-loss record of 1-3. He passed away at a hospital in Marina Del Rey on Saturday night. Kidney failure. He was 54 years old.

You may not remember him from his baseball career (unless you’re a Reds fan, and even then it’s iffy), but if you’re like me and spent a chunk of your childhood growing up in the 1990s, you’ll remember his film work. Lesley appeared in a handful of baseball movies in the 90s, including a role in Tom Selleck’s Mr. Baseball and his memorable turn as John ‘Blackout’ Gatling, aka “the mean guy with the goatee” from Little Big League.

Various obits mentioned that he had a role in Space Jam as himself, a role hand-picked for him by Michael Jordan, but it’s not listed on his IMDB page and I can’t spot him anywhere on my … uh, friend’s Space Jam DVD. I can confirm his appearances on ‘Takeshi’s Castle’/'Most Extreme Elimination Challenge,’ though, which makes him amazing whether your remember his movie career or not.

Rest in peace, Animal. We won’t forget you, and I’m sorry about Perez Hilton putting watermarks on baseball cards to claim them:

From the creativity magicians at UNDRCRWN comes the REIGN UMBRELLA, an umbrella in the style of Seattle Supersonics great Shawn Kemp that protects you from rain, and, I’m assuming, reign. You can order it here, and by “can” I mean “should definitely.” (via That NBA Lottery Pick)

So far, we’ve shared with you a golden treasury of cheesy late-80s/early-90s WWF promo photos and a two-part retrospective of WCW’s worst possible 8x10s.

No look at pro graps in the 1990s would be complete without Extreme Championship Wrestling, the hyper-violent, cursing-on-VHS, #3 promotion in wrestling’s last boom period. ECW had a lot that positives that still hold up — under-the-radar international stars given a chance to shine, a constantly-replenishing roster that gave WWE and WCW most of its top young stars, Beulah McGillicutty’s trashy glory — but some of it, mostly Blue Meanie’s jean shorts, deserves to be lost in time.

Please enjoy these EXTREME GLAMOURSHOTS~. They’re even better if you realize that almost everyone in the gallery is somewhere on a show 15 years later, milking whatever they had going for them here.

On Monday, we shared with you the best (Cactus Jack) and very, very worst (Hail) of World Championship Wrestling’s 8×10 promo photos from the 1990s. If you thought Dave Sullivan petting a rabbit was as deep as the well ran, you’re in for a treat.

Behold, part two of our epic WCW promo photos quest, once again visiting the pro wrestling company that threatened to put WWE out of business before collapsing in on itself and folding in the shadow of stars like Kwee Wee and Disqo. The next 50 WCW photos tell the story of the company … full of amazing pro wrestling talent, but also (unfortunately) full of everything else. Take a long, hard look at that picture of Ric Flair. If you can’t see the terror in his eyes, you’ll start to pick it up around slide 30.

If you showed part one to everybody you know, follow-up with this one.
