Soccer is a game of passion, so we’re told. Tensions can run high and sometimes things can get a little out of hand on and around the pitch, but you already knew that. Brawling, mooning, brawling, flaming, pissin’ on the sideline and biting are all just part of the game. Wait! Biting?
Never mind, we just found out that biting isn’t really that odd in soccer after all.

This – in addition to the grueling, body-crushing preparation and competitions – is why we choose not to race bicycles for a profession.

The modern treadmill we all know and love detest has been in existence for at least 25 years now, but, for some strange reason, people simply can not wrap their heads around the idea that the machine is always going to be faster than they are.

Who would have ever guessed that Chris Cooley and Dale Earnhardt Jr. would be like two peas in a pod? Certainly not us, but, of course, we’d be dead wrong. Turns out the fellas have been buddy-buddy for over a year now and the bond runs so deep that Cooley actually named his dog Dale Earnhardt Jr. Now, if that’s not respect and admiration then nothing is.

We love MMA. After all, there is nothing better than watching a fight and anticipating that special moment when one grown man delivers a vicious knockout blow to another grown man. Check that, we just found something better: kid KOs.
From the Worldwide Leader in Sports comes yet another horrible, horrible idea. Baseball Tonight is celebrating the 100th anniversary of “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” by having nine bands (we use the term quite loosely) record their own unique and personal version of the song which will then be put up to a vote to determine the winner of the battle of the bands. On Sunday’s episode of the show, they couldn’t find a real musician, so they just threw Peter Gammons in front of a camera and told him to sing. Don’t believe us? Here’s the old, wrinkled proof.

The Celtics finally completed their 22-year journey back to the NBA championship while Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen all had their careers “certified” as Garnett said during his interview moments after the final buzzer. The 131-92 annihilation of the Los Angeles Lakers in Game 6 was the most lopsided championship-clinching game in league history, delivering a massive spinning back fist to Kobe Bryant’s legacy as the “next” Michael Jordan. After all, can you imagine Mike ever dropping a Finals-clincher by 39 points?
After the game, fans flocked to the streets to celebrate their 17th banner which sounds like a ton of fun, but is really just confusing, frustrating agony. Just try to enjoy yourself amidst a sea of knuckleheads like this:
Some people say we’re ridiculous for not being able to enjoy the elegance, grace, power and athleticism that is professional level soccer. We say “phooey on you.” We’re busy people with things to see and people to do. We don’t have time to sit around for three hours just to wind up watching a 1-1 tie. Nope. Give us a five minute clip of some dude kicking balls into trashcans from across the block and set it to a sweet AC/DC track and we’ll have our futbol fill for the next six to eight months.
There, now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, it’s on to our busy schedule. There’s a Work Out marathon starting in half an hour.
Don’t let anyone tell you that gymnastics is not a contact sport. Just watch this chick get flung off a giant swing and make contact with the floor.

Whew! Tough choice, but our vote is split between the opening elbow smashing crucifixion or the furious hands of the vicious Vitor Belfour. While we know this video is dedicated to UFC KOs, we’d still like to throw this devastating blow into the competition.
