Chicks + exercise ball + boredom = funny stuff

For the most part, we’re used to watching idiotic guys doing dumb and painful stuff on camera, so it was rather refreshing when we came across this video of some girls going Jackass with an exercise ball. While we doubt that these girls ever get their own show on MTV, we’re stoked that they’re at least giving the whole ‘hurt yourself for laughs’ routine a go.

Hey, Steve-O started off by swallowing a fish and then regurgitating it and look at him now. We say keep up the good work girls and shoot for the stars. Of course, we’re talking about the stars that are seen after a good whack to the noggin, but if fame follows, more power to ya.

Assault charges get Missouri basketball player tossed off the team


Kalen Grimes is the center for the University of Missouri basketball team and it turns out he’s a street fighter as well. Unfortunately, the second talent will get you kicked off the team and get you arrested, which is exactly what happened to Grimes after he was involved in an assault on Saturday night.

Grimes went to the parking lot of a Dairy Queen around 3:00 a.m. when a friend of his got into an altercation with some people. After arriving, Grimes and his brother drove to where the incident was happening and the 21-year-old baller got out of the car and cocked a shotgun several times before he eventually stuck a man in the face with the butt of the gun. Before the fight concluded, Grimes’ brother, Michael, was hit in the head with a tire wrench. After leaving the scene, Grimes was pulled over and arrested on a second-degree felony assault charge. Cops also found a loaded gun .40-caliber gun in his car during the arrest.

Grimes’ actions come on the heels of a recently instituted zero-tolerance policy for the team after forward DeMarre Carroll got shot last week. So, it was probably not the best time for Grimes to be out and about at three in the morning; not to mention carrying guns and beating people up. We know that things must get dull in Missouri on a Saturday night, but what ever happened to, say, sleeping at three in the morning? If nothing good ever happens at 2:00 a.m., you better believe that there is absolutely nothing but trouble when the clock strikes three.

Being retarded goes a long way in backyard wrestling

We’ve showed you just how idiotic and dangerous pro wrestling can be when complete morons step inside the ropes with the sole purpose of shocking the masses or murdering their opponent. But, at least these guys are getting paid to put their bodies on the line. The pay probably sucks, but they’re still being compensated for their efforts. The even bigger numbskulls are the kids who try to imitate these extremists, seemingly thinking that they are invincible. Guess what; you’re not. And while dropping you’re friend on his head off your roof might sound like fun, apparently it’s not all that great. But, that doesn’t mean it’s not hilarious to make fun of just how stupid wannabes can be.

Good luck making it to the big time, kids. You’re going to need it.

The scoop showdown in San Antonio: print vs. broadcast



We didn’t realize these guys moved
to San Antonio.

There’s nothing we love more than a good cat fight…unfortunately, we have nothing to report on the cat fight front, but we did find a Texas sized war of words deep in the heart of San Antonio. Turns out that local TV station KSAT stole all the credit for breaking the “P.J. Carlesimo to coach Seattle” story, when in reality, it was the San Antonio Express-News who originally discovered that P.J. was jumping from assistant in S.A. to numero uno man in Seattle.

This, unfortunately, has become standard practice at KSAT, where (Larry) Ramirez, Greg Simmons and David Sears are more comfortable deceiving their viewers than they are practicing real journalism. Real journalism would entail developing sources and contacts, doing a little work on your own. Apparently that’s too complicated for this trio.

So, for all you aspiring journalists out there, be sure to give credit where credit is due or you could find yourself getting slammed by the name-calling Express-News too.

But Larry, Greggy and Davey have set a whole new standard for laziness, thievery and ineptness. And until the three stooges at KSAT man up and admit they are incapable of doing their own reporting, we’ll recognize them as journalism miscreants, a species that some day, hopefully, will become extinct.

Can’t we all just get along?

The Biggest Damn Dork In The Land

College football is just around the corner and everyone is beginning to wear their team colors proudly in anticipation of the upcoming season. But you’ve got your normal fans and then you’ve got your SUPER fans whose life’s mission is to honor their chosen university. Shawn Swick is one of those SUPER fan kinda guys.

Swick loves The Ohio State University so much that he turned one of his rooms into “The Best Damn Room In The Land” by recreating the hallowed Horseshoe with a room size mural that took 10 gallons of paint and one year to complete. The Buckeye freak says that he just loves the team and thought the idea was pretty cool.

Believe it or not, some people think that the room is completely stupid and this guy is off his rocker. No, really?

I’ve gotten responses saying this is a waste of time. This is a waste of money. I don’t really care,” Swick said.

So, really cool or really embarrassing; you be the judge:

We vote embarrassing.

Somehow Ultimate Frisbee celebrates another birthday

The summer is here and this is the time of year when people are supposed to get out and enjoy the weather by hopping in the local cement pond or playing your favorite outdoor sport.  Some people like baseball, others like to simply toss around the old pigskin.  But then there are the people who play with a Frisbee and call it an “Ultimate Frisbee” league.

Now, we’ve heard about these types of nut jobs before, but we just can’t believe they’re still around.  But, apparently, we shouldn’t be surprised because the “sport” has been around for 40 years and has leagues across the nation.  Who would have guessed?  We know that we shouldn’t knock it until we’ve tried it, but when it comes to calling Ultimate Frisbee a sport, we just can’t do it.  That would be like saying “lights out bowling” with the glow in the dark pins is a sport too.  Hell, why not slap the world “extreme” in front of  tetherball and make another new sport?

But we’re not going to completely blow off this 40 year Frisbee fad; if  Stewie digs it then we’re willing to give it chance. It certainly beats the hell out of competitive eating as a sport.

Even ESPN struggles for good ideas at times

Okay, we know that ESPN is the all-mighty sports deity and they probably have a pretty good idea by now of how to run a billion dollar, multimedia corporation, but even the great ones have their dumb moments. Like this Top 10 list for example. We know that it’s hard work to churn out a new list every day for SportsCenter, but do we really need to know the Top 10 Bird Moments?

Mark Cuban proves he’s a moron…again


We all knew that Mark Cuban was a big brat from the first day he bought the Mavericks. We learned that he was a big baby when he started all his courtside shenanigans shortly after. We found out that he had a huge man crush on his German superstar when Dirk Nowitzki won the MVP award. Now, we know that he’s a sore loser and poor sport as well.

Cuban is suing Golden State Warriors coach Don Nelson because he is claiming that Nellie had “confidential information and he (Cuban) wants to enjoin Don from coaching the Mavericks” when his No. 8 eight seed club knocked off the top team in the league during the first round of this year’s playoffs. This is according to John O’Connor who is Nelson’s attorney.

Apparently, Cuban has verified that he has filed “claims” against the former Mavs coach, but he also admitted that he is “not sure how we are handling them” and then offered the classic “no comment” line when asked in person about the matter.

There is no basis in our view,” O’Connor said. “I suppose he [Nelson] knows [Dirk] Nowitzki likes to go right instead of left, but normally that’s not a trade secret.

Basically, Cubes is saying that it’s just not fair for departed coaches to play against their former teams. Guess the Lakers can’t play the Bulls while Phil Jackson is still in La-La Land. And we might as well put aside any scheduled games between Rick Adelman’s Rockets and the Kings or Blazers. But what if Larry Brown ever decides to return to NBA? His new club will have to shorten their season by about 60 games to avoid matching up with all of his old teams!

We know that this is a little different because of the short time span between Nelson’s two tenures, but Cuban’s coach, Avery Johnson, spent a lot of years learning the tricks of the trade from the Spurs Gregg Popovich before heading to Big D. Does this mean that San Antonio can sue the Little General for knocking the Spurs out of the 2006 playoffs in a Game 7 thriller?

This B.S. move by Cuban is simply an attempt to continue to his “thorn in the side” mentality against Nelson. The two have had contractual arguments since Nellie split town a few years back and Dallas’ first round fiasco did little to help mend their tattered relationship. We know that Cuban is an incredible businessman, but this is basically the equivalent of an old lady suing McDonald’s because her coffee was hot. Hopefully, this case won’t have the same bogus results.

Kevin Durant was born with 11 toes?!?! No wonder Portland might pass.


So, apparently there is a “FakeDurant” out there somewhere who is posting on Yardbarker as if he was the real Kevin Durant. Why is this news? Well, it looks like the NBA bound Durant’s peeps are requesting that the post be removed because FakeDurant is saying some pretty odd things and they don’t want their meal ticket getting a bad rap. The idea is good, but who the hell is going to believe that stuff like this would be written by the sickest freshman of all time (oh, not to mention it’s posted by FakeDurant!!!):

I met with the fine folks of the Seattle Sonics this week. They asked me what number I wanted to be and I said “69!” I mean DUH LOL.

I HAD A SIXTH TOE ON MY RIGHT FOOT WHEN I WAS BORN AND THE DOCTOR CUT IT OFF!

People are always interviewing me and they all want to know whether or not I think Joakim Noah is ugly. I DO! Sorry bro BUT YOUS HIDEOUS lol!!! But I think everyone agrees with me when I say I’d love to team up with the MilfHunter and hunt down his mom! I mean OMG good thing I’m wearing compression shorts right now!

I took a poop today and the inside of the toilet looked like a smiley face…does that mean i might be gay? FREE BRITNEY (aka MILF)!!!

Well, now that we think about it, that does totally sound like something Durant would say. It might happen. Yeah, and monkeys might fly out of our butts.

Here’s another extreme sport for all you adrenaline junkies

So, we’re always looking for ways to the fill the void that encompasses the normal sports fan during the long, hot days of summer. First, we discovered the newest sensation sweeping the nation which is commonly referred to as “backjumping”. Now, we’ve discovered that our regular Saturday night behavior was actually a bona fide sport. Well, it’s considered a sport in England. At least, it’s a start.
