Why isn’t the Lingerie Bowl free?


poor tackling technique

I don’t know about you guys, but I don’t exactly want to see a bunch of corpses dancing around during halftime of the Super Bowl, which is why the Lingerie Bowl makes so much sense. A bunch of scantily clad women running around pretending to play football and tackling/grappling/wrestling each other to the ground? Sign me up! But like all great things in this country, it’s going to cost you $19.99 on PPV.

Let’s say the PPV event gets 200,000 buys (a generous figure) at $20 a pop. That’s $4M in revenue. That’s worth approximately 60 seconds of ad time for the Super Bowl. Yeah, we know not nearly as many people will tune in for the Lingerie Bowl as the Super Bowl but, last I checked, a lot of straight men watch the SB and straight men like hot chicks in lingerie no matter what they’re doing. I bet enough people would rather tune into Lingerie Bowl III than watch the Rolling Stones and whatever no talent American Idol loser they trot out at halftime. Come on Bodog, free the Lingerie Bowl!

Donald Trump extends being a douchebag to Golf course

Who says there’s no good programming on TV anymore? Donald Trump has come to save sports! The reality show blowhard announced plans for a golf “tournament” in May which will air on ESPN in July.


I am personally going to give $1 million to the one golfer who can prove they have the skill and nerve it takes to survive under the most extreme pressure.

And by “personally give $1M”, he means that he’ll reroute the $15,000 entry fee from the 100 contestants. The top winner takes home $1M, the runner up gets $150,000, and so forth. In order to be in the money, you have to finish 10th, which pays $20,000. The top 10 players out of a 54 hole tourney compete in a 9 hole playoff with one person getting knocked out each hole. On top of the stiff entry fee, each entrant has to write an essay about their life experiences in order to qualify. (Hey look, there’s a human element!)

If I were a billionaire who hated Donald Trump, I’d pay someone $1M to just go Al Czervik on Judge Trump and nail him in the nuts. I think that’d be worth my money.

Pistons Dance Team Calendar Pornographic?


We call it art

A group calling themselves American Decency Association has complained to Pistons officials that the “Automotion” Dance Team calendar is pornographic and should be pulled from shelves.


To me, this is a form of prostitution,” Barbara Rotary told the News after seeing the calendar while Christmas shopping and complaining to the Pistons and the decency organization. “The Pistons are profiting from using women’s bodies this way.

Listen, honey (Decency feminazis hate when you call them honey), I just got back from the Palms in Las Vegas where you’ll see all forms of prostitution. A swimsuit calendar ain’t it. Imagine the American Decency Association’s reaction to the Philadelphia Eagles Cheerleader Lingerie Calender.

Who is Damon Jones and why does he have a shoe?


Damon Jones wears Li-Ning

Watch out LeBron, Damon Jones (career 7ppg / 2rpg player) is gunning for you. Jones is the first NBA player to promote Li-Ning shoes and according to the Li-Ning website, they are HOT! Jones signed the deal at a press conference in downtown Cleveland and announced:


My shoes are going to become best sellers. It’s going to be Yao Ming, LeBron James and then Damon Jones.

If this works, Reebok and Nike (well, Iverson and LeBron’s bank accounts) are in big trouble.

NHL games on your video iPod

It’s what everyone absolutely no one has been waiting for: the ability to watch hockey games on a screen smaller than Marcus Vicks’ brain. The NHL is “very close” to a deal with Apple to allow video downloading.

What hockey game is so awesome that I absolutely must see it on my iPod right away? Talk about wasting your time on something. Whatever distribution genius thought this one up should be fired and/or shot.

Kate Beckinsale thinks the NFL is gay

I love Kate Beckinsale. Love her. No one looks better in black leather vampire gear. Now why did she have to ruin it by talking?

It’s like rugby except they wear armour and scream a lot. It’s completely poofy. (They do) the gayest dances when they score.

Then she called baseball (apple pie!) a game for little girls. I’m tempted to give her husband shit for despising American Footbal but any man who can convince Kate to do bad things on camera is all right by me.

Man crashes Canadiens practice… he shoots…

A 28-year-old man named “Raphael” jumped on the ice at a Canadiens practice and took a couple of shots at Jose Theodore before he was chased down by the coach and kicked out of the arena. He stated that he always wanted to play high caliber hockey and he wanted to “show the Canadiens what he could do on the ice.”


I didn’t really know what was going on until the guy came on,” a grinning Theodore said later. “He came at me with his head down so…I poke-checked him to say `You have to keep your head up.’ When he came back, I though about going out of the net and not playing into his game, but then I thought he had the (courage) to go on the ice, so I let him have a free shot at me. “He couldn’t beat me. That’s the main thing.

Defenseman Craig Rivet stood guard but the man left peacefully. The police came and decided not to arrest him because it wasn’t a police matter. No bone rattling checks from a defender? No arrest? Oh those crazy Canadiens!
