We’ve been dying to get this footage to you since we watched it last Thursday on Inside the NBA, but, unfortunately, we had to wait until sportsrapp did all the hard work. If you can make it through another Frank TV promo then there’s some really funny stuff in store for ya. Make special note of the Chuckster’s reaction to Frank Caliendo’s impersonation of him.
Everyone keeps talking about the Charles Barkley imitation, and we do admit that it’s dead on, but we were blown away by the loquacious manner in which Caliendo personified the rare and enchanting qualities of a man whose journeys took him from small town La Mesa, California, all the way to a glorified hardwood pedestal which was chiseled of the finest marble from the rural lands of Egypt offered unto their gods of sound and fury. It was a trip befitting a young, muy alto, red headed, lost wanderer traversing across the boggy, rodent-laden marshes…
Remember when Lloyd and Harry started eating peppers in Dumb and Dumber? Well, Rob Stone would have given anything for some squeeze bottles of mustard and ketchup after he downed the hottest pepper in the world.
Geez, man; what are you? Some sorta idiot? The pepper dude said it had a million Scoville heat units. Wait; don’t tell us you’re not familiar with the Scoville scale of heat transfer. What a dweeb.
We know that the MLB season is over and the Red Sox are atop the baseball world again, but that doesn’t mean that Yankees fans aren’t still bitter.
Wow, as outsiders to the whole New York/Boston thing; we gotta admit, after seeing that father disown his ‘Sox son’ for Sonjaya’s Caucasian brother, we finally see how powerful this rivalry really is!
So, what do you get when you cross a touchdown hungry, rumbling, stumbling, 6-foot-4-inch, 340 pound defensive tackle and a 5-foot-11-inch, 207 pound running back turned wannabe tackler? Well, you get yourself a spatula and peel Selvin Young’s carcass off the turf.
After using the Nebraska Blackshirts as toilet paper and racking up 76 points on the Huskers, Kansas found themselves at No. 4 in the latest BCS Standings. We know, we can’t believe it either. The Jayhawks are sitting at fifth in both the Associated Press Top 25 and the USA Today Poll after going undefeated through nine games. This is the highest Kansas has been ranked since they spent three weeks at No. 3 in the AP poll back in 1968!
As expected, the Kansas faithful are handling their new found prestige with the utmost humility and modesty.
Say what you want to about the great American sports rivalries, but if you want to see some real animosity then look no further than soccer outside of the States. As if there is soccer inside the States.
A pair of Brazilian teams (Atletico Paranaense and Gremio if you’re keeping score) brawled like Peter and the chicken all over town after an Atletico Paranaense player was attacked kung-fu style during a post-gamematch interview.
See what we mean? Have you ever seen Peyton Manning deliver a flying dropkick to Tom Brady’s kisser?
The rivalry between the two clubs began earlier this season when Paranaense forward Alex Mineiro was injured in a clash with Gremio midfielder Tcheco.
Tcheco was sent off in Wednesday’s match for persistent dissent and both clubs said that as he left the field he clashed with Petraglia.
After the game, Paranaense midfielder Claiton said he was attacked from behind by a Gremio player who lunged at him with a karate-style kick as he was giving a media interview.
Claiton said he went to a police station to file a complaint.
Gremio accused Paranaense of being bad hosts at the end of the match.
“We were badly received here,” said Cesar Pacheco, another member of the Gremio delegation. “They spent the week threatening us.
“This can’t happen in football.”
Now, we know that some of this soccer stuff is tough to believe but, thanks to The Offside, we’ve got the video to prove it. *”no need to watch after the 1:00 minute mark if you don’t speak Portuguese”
End of story, right? Wrong. On Thursday, the two clubs just conveniently happened to bump into each other at the airport and, well, you know where this is going.
The two clubs blamed each other for the fracas at the Afonso Pena airport in Curitiba as they resumed hostilities after Paranaense’s 2-0 win in a Brazilian championship match the previous evening.
Paranaense director Mario Cesar Petraglia said he was waiting for a flight to Sao Paulo when he was set upon by the Gremio delegation.
“I was reading my newspaper when they went for me, with physical and moral offences,” Petraglia told his club’s Web site (www.caparanaense.com).
Gremio, who were heading home to Porto Alegre, said Petraglia was with security men who joined in the fight.
“(Vice president of football Paulo) Pelaipe is with the airport police filing a complaint,” Gremio director Alfredo Oliveira told Radio Bandeirnates.
“He lost a tooth and his face has swollen up.”
Thank goodness here in the fity states, we don’t have to worry about that level of immaturity and poor sportsmanship from our athletes.

Please tell us that you have vivid memories of the instant NES classic Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!!. You know: Glass Joe, Great Tiger, Soda Popinski, Don Flamenco. C’mon, please tell us that we weren’t the only ones who spent hours on end socking King Hippo in his fat gut. Oh, well; if you’ve played the game then you’ll recognize our good friend Mr. Dream Mike and if you’ve never rocked the controller to this 8-biter then hit the pawn shop already for crying out loud.
You know those stupid banners that high school teams go ripping through before games? Well, they’re dangerous. Actually, it’s not the banners that are dangerous, it’s the players running through `em.
We love how the station goes with the informative yet humiliating approach to this piece.
Happy Homecoming Homecoming Princess!

We know that Emmitt Smith has 18,355 career rushing yards and 175 total touchdowns. And we know that he can do the salsa, the tango and probably even the Macarena. But those don’t involve the forming of coherent sentences.
We never thought anyone could make Stu Scott look appealing, but congrats E, you’ve made history again.
