Miroslav Satan’s Ominous Yahoo! Profile Enjoys These Morning Links

Written by Ashley Burns / 09.20.11

Sorry, I should have mentioned this one is a visual game.

My buddy brought this to my attention late last night as I was writing my review of the Comedy Central Roast of Charlie Sheen for our mother site, Uproxx, so I don’t know if this is a common knowledge thing since the last time I pulled up a NHL player’s profile it was practice making out with a picture of Manon Rheaume. But I thought it was pretty funny. Well played, Yahoo!.

So how about some links?

In Case You Were Wondering, Michael Jordan is Still Michael Jordan

Written by Brandon Stroud / 07.19.11

Michael Jordan dunking at age 48

Here are a few facts to make you feel extremely old, pending you not being one of those 14-year olds who has had the Internet their entire life and can’t remember what they did five minutes ago:

1. Michael Jordan played his last game in the NBA over eight years ago.
2. Michael Jordan won his last slam dunk contest over 23 years ago.
3. Michael Jordan will be 50 in two years.

I got excited a few months ago when I saw a video of Spud Webb dunking at age 47. I thought, “hey, that makes me feel better about the ominous march of time” and jumped on here to post it. Then I noticed he was dunking with a trampoline. My head sank and I aged about four years. Today I’m happy to say I got at least two of those years back, because the Yahoo! Sports Minute has put up a clip of 48-year old Michael Jordan dunking on a ten foot goal with relative ease. Apparently he’s still good enough to beat anyone he meets, including his staff. And before you ask, yes, LeBron James is on his staff.

Watch the video below.

That Michelle Marie sure knows a lot about sports, doesn’t she? I wonder what her last name is. I’m gonna guess “Jennifer”.

That’s It, I’m Done With Gambling

Written by Ashley Burns / 04.05.11

Diana Inch is a 44-year old high school librarian and girls soccer coach in Oregon. She is also the only person out of 3 million entrants in the Yahoo! Tourney Pick ‘Em to correctly predict the Final Four teams. She also correctly predicted Connecticut and Butler in the Championship game, and sure enough she had the Huskies winning the title. So how did this seemingly extraordinary sports genius make her predictions? By using her favorite numbers and picking dogs and cats, of course.

Inch’s formula included her favorite numbers and team mascots. She titled her entry Di’s 711 XV Cats & Dogs. In the first round she picked the No. 7 and 11 seeds in almost every round. In ensuing rounds she picked according to team mascots, leaning to those with cats or dogs.

“I have watched the games on my computer,” Inch said. “I’m as surprised as anyone that I got the Final Four.” (Via the Albany Democrat-Herald)

Why are you surprised, Diana? This is how it always happens. You should try fantasy football next year and draft your team based on which player has the cutest ass.

Unfortunately for Diana, though, her luck has brought her no instant wealth, and just some bragging rights. Even before UConn won the (incredibly boring) championship game last night, Diana was in 781st place in the Yahoo! competition, 13 wins behind the first place entrant, so she won’t see any of the $5,000 top prize. But with that cushy high school librarian/soccer coach salary, she hardly needs it.
