Flipping through the channels between the Sharks-Oilers game and the Suns-Clippers game, we stumbled upon David Blaine’s aquaman event. The actual stunt was pretty stupid but we jumped in during the pre-taped magic portions. You gotta admit the trick where David Blaine removes a woman’s canines, chews em up and spits it back intact into her mouth was pretty mindblowing. Not so much for the trick itself but how he could convince the woman that her teeth were actually gone.
Well, that got us hooked. Until we started hearing a familiar, yet irritating tones of… who is it… can’t quite figure it out… mental calculation… ESPN… ABC… oh f’ing hell.. it’s Boo-Ya Scott. Why ABC/ESPN still think people enjoy hearing Stu Scott cover anything is beyond us. At one point, describing the damage that could happen to David Blaine’s hands as a result of the water logging, Stu asked us to imagine anyone who made a living with their hands: a concert pianist, a surgeon…. Tiger Woods. What the? Tiger Woods? Way to drop some knowledge on us, Stu.
Stu Scott, thankfully, left the “holla at your boy” and “underwater like the okey-doke” schtick at the ESPN set, but that didn’t stop us from hating ESPN, ABC, and Stu Scott for ruining more of our watching experience.
Among the great unanswered questions in our lives are: how is Keith Richards still alive and why does Stu Scott have a job?
Tanith Belbin was about the only reason to watch the Olympics this year since all the media whores like Bode Miller and Johnny Weir ended up doing squat. Tanith at least took home the silver medal and looked good doing it. Why is this even news in May? We don’t know. But we do know that from this ESPN interview, Dave Matthews would have to be nuts not to be calling the Skating with Celebrities producers right now. That, and she’s a Killian’s Irish Red kinda girl. Fine, this entry just an excuse to express our love for Tanith.

[TwinCities.com]: You know how Vice President of Player personnel for the Vikings lied on his resume, had a terrible draft, and then got fired? Well, he is suing the Vikings for wrongful termination. What else would he had have to have done for it to be a rightful termination? Use a sex toy on a stripper on a boat cruise? Wait…

(What? It’s Friday. We can’t make a bad joke in the headline?)
It seems that Reggie’s parents were supposed to pay $4,500 a month in rent but never paid because they didn’t have the money. Of course, no one seemed to worry about it because they knew that the $54,000 in back rent was chump change for the future #1 pick’s family. The lawyer for Michael Michaels, one of the founders of the failed New Era Sports & Entertainment has said he plans on filing a $3.2 million fraud lawsuit against Bush and his family. Concidentally, the NFLPA is investigating and extortion charge against David Caravantes, another shady figure in the whole scandal.
Meanwhile, Reggie Bush said that his family moved out not because of the Yahoo story hitting the wires but because they simply found a better place to live. We’re sure they have.
[Boston.com]: Keith Foulke thinks he should have the ball from the final out in the 2004 World Series. And he wants his damn shoes back too.
[AP]: Olympic gold medalist Tim Montgomery was arrested in connection with a mutlimillion-dollar bank fraud and money laundering scheme. Run Timmy run.
[USA Today]: Sometimes we wish the Sixers would do the same thing.
This isn’t real right? Right?
Real Odd of the day: 50-1 that Rafael Palmeiro confesses to using other drugs.
Maxim has named the 5 most whipped athletes in professional sports. These are the guys whose wives make more headlines than they do for controlling their careers or basically just saying too much in the press. To no one’s surprise, Doug Christie made the top of the list, followed by Kris Benson, Nick Harper, Antonio Davis, and Kurt Warner. The Nick Harper listing is a little harsh. The guy can’t help it if his wife is pyscho, stabbed him in the leg, and cost the Colts a playoff game.
Is it just us or are a disproportionate amount of soccer stories tinged with homoeroticism? NTTAWWT… In Brazil, a coach was suspended for 60 days for saying that a referee was flirting with him.
He was flirting with me. He blew his whistle and looked at me with every decision he made….Maybe it was because of my pink shirt.”
Probably not the best idea to imply that a ref is gay. Blind is ok. Gay is not.

[CBS Sportsline]: Shocking! Man behind Reggie Bush house scandal has shady past.
[SI]: Well, there goes SI.com’s credibility — Jenn Sterger (you know the FSU ho-or… er… cowgirl) has a column.
[Columbus Dispatch]: This is what happens when you don’t supply strippers to lacrosse teams — they start sticking fingers up players’ rectums. Damn near killed him.
Real Odd of the Day: 9-5 that Lynn Swann is elected governor of Pennsylvania

Proving that you really can bet on anything, SportsInteraction.com has put out odds on the next catfight in NASCAR. They are putting 25-1 odds that Nicole Lunders and Eva Bryan will get into a physical altercation. The odds are only 5-1 that Greg Biffle and Kurt Busch will mix it up.
Also, drivers should keep their girlfriends/wives away from Tony Stewart, who is 25-1 odds to have an affair with one of them. Sweet.
