Hunting, fishing and the great outdoors are a direct contrast to our sleeping, drinking and the great indoors mentality. However, we occasionally venture over to our local Bass Pro Shop and soak in the beauty of what nature must be like. We’ve discovered the best part about that place is that we can get our swim on without having to worry about the sun’s harmful rays or pollution in the water.

We’ve seen this happen in the WWE on a weekly basis since the mid-80s, but this a first for us in the world of mixed martial arts. It’s a K.O.K.O. and we’re not talking about Koko B. Ware.
Ken Griffey Jr. is the man. Not just because of his early career when he was the baddest boy in MLB, but because the guy has a great sense of humor. For example, when Griffey lost a $1,500 bet to his teammate, he promptly paid up, but just not in the manner most would expect.
Pitcher Josh Fogg arrived at his locker Wednesday to find it stacked with 60 boxes of pennies, 2,500 pennies to a box. He immediately looked at Griffey and said, “That’s good, Griff, real funny. Kick me when I’m down.”
Griffey warned him but Fogg didn’t believe it when Griffey said he was going to pay off a $1,500 debt in pennies.
“I’m a man of my word,” said Griffey. “When you owe a man $1,500, you pay him. You can’t do a whole lot with pennies, can you? Just think, each box weighs 16 pounds so Fogg has 60 bowling balls in his locker.”
Said Fogg, “I’m going to take them to bullpen and count them because I have a lot time on my hands.”
Looks like Fogg is going to be spending the next two weeks feeding the local grocery store’s CoinStar machine. And if his luck is anything like ours then he’ll wind up with about 650 bucks for those $1,500-worth of pennies.

Listen up all you guys with wives and girlfriends. With new episodes of American Idol and The Real World running tonight, you’re going to have to be pretty clever to pry the remote control out of your ol’ lady’s hands. Let’s face it, you know you want to watch the pair of Game 5’s in the NBA tonight and you know you want to watch them on the big screen. So, if you need a blueprint for how to get the tube to yourself then just watch this.
Phoenix’s trade for Shaquille O’Neal didn’t exactly work like they hoped it would. Instead of hoisting another trophy over his head, Shaq is instead, sitting at home after the Spurs sent Phoenix packing after the first round. Quite frankly, we miss the big fella. O’Neal is always the life of the party and without him we just feel empty inside, especially when the press conference’s coming rolling around.
Before Zaza Pachulia got decimated by a Kevin Garnett pick during Boston’s Game 7 blowout, he was already a little loopy in the head. Following Atlanta’s home win in Game 6, Zaza did his best Ivan Drago impression for the crowd.
After getting pounded in Game 7, Pachulia was overhead saying, “He is not human, he is a piece of iron” about Garnett.

Jocks and geeks have always gone at it like cats and dogs. Well, not actually, by our accounts the jocks usually pound the geeks into submission rather easily, then steal their lunch money, break their glasses and spit in their pocket protectors. At least that’s what we’ve heard. It’s not like we used to get picked on in school or had our underwear pulled over our head by the football team captain in what will live in legend forever as the “Weggie from Hell.” Okay, so maybe that was us and we still live the nightmare of being pinned to the floor and receiving a broomstick shocker from the entire wrestling team; big deal! The point is, we coulda been friends, you muscleheads!
Soccer stars just want to have fun and Ronaldo is no different. The soccer super stud decided to have him some fun Sunday night at a Rio de Janeiro motel, hiring some prostitutes for a little wink-wink which is completely legal in Brazil. Problem was that the hos were bros.
Nogueira said the altercation began when Ronaldo found out he was dealing with transvestites instead of women. The inspector said Ronaldo admitted he knew they were prostitutes when they met earlier Sunday night, but did not realize they were transvestites until they got to the motel.
“He admitted to everything, he wanted to have fun,” Nogueira said. “But he committed no crime at all, it was immoral at best.”
Prostitution is not illegal in Brazil.
The AC Milan striker told police he offered to pay the transvestites anyway, but before he left one of them allegedly asked for $30,000 to hide the story from the media.
Nogueira said he believed Ronaldo’s version because the transvestite decided to leave the police station even before being fully questioned by authorities.
The transvestite also accused Ronaldo of asking him to buy drugs.
In a statement to TV Globo, Ronaldo reiterated he was a victim of extortion and denied he has ever used drugs.
Ronaldo and the transvestites were only questioned by police and voluntarily went to the police station.
Only in soccer.

Puerto Rico isn’t exactly a powerhouse when it comes to soccer – at least, not according to Wikipedia – but that didn’t keep Joel Pineiro from showing off a little futbol move while getting an out in St. Louis’ 6-2 victory over Pittsburgh last Thursday.
Damn, even Vasek Klouda thought that was impressive.
Have you seen the ads yet? Verizon Wireless just dropped their “Can you hear me now?” ad campaign in favor of “Can you see me now?” One question; is it too late to get the old douche back?
