Richard Jefferson Pulls Out

July 15, 2009 by

It certainly has been a busy summer for NBA star Richard Jefferson. Jefferson was traded this offseason from the Milwaukee Bucks to the San Antonio Spurs which certainly raised a lot of eyebrows with basketball fans. The Spurs were able to make a serious upgrade in talent by acquiring Jefferson after swapping some has been NBA veterans like Kurt Thomas, Fabricio Oberto and Bruce Bowen. However, the trade didn’t raise nearly as many eyebrows as the stunt Jefferson pulled this past weekend. RJ broke things off with his fiancee Kesha Ni’Cole Nichols a former New Jersey Net dancer just before his $2 million wedding in Manhattan was set to take place. Things happened so quickly Jefferson wasn’t even able to inform all the parties his wedding had been canceled. All was not lost though because Jefferson offered his black Amex card to his friends and told them to have a good time on him. Cristal for everyone playas!

848-Mile Golf Course

July 15, 2009 by

A few months back we discussed the most amazing golf hole on the planet with a tee box 1,400 feet up. We now would like to introduce you to the most impressive golf course ever created The Nullarbor Links. The world’s longest golf course extends over 848 miles of desert highway in 18 towns and service stations and is located in two different time zones. Golfers will stop in one area to play a hole and then sometimes drive over 60 miles before reaching the next hole. The par-71 course will take up to four days to complete with each player awarded a certificate once they complete the monster track. The other cool part of this golf outing, as if it needed more, is each of the 18 areas offers a local attraction such as ancient fossil beds, the Big Kangaroo statue, whale-watching and more. Who is ready to take a trip down under?

Pedro a Phillie

July 14, 2009 by

37-year old Pedro Martinez is heading back to the majors after passing a physical today with the Philadelphia Phillies. It had been reported Martinez would get close to $5 million, but now it appears Pedro has agreed to $1 million in base with incentives totaling an extra $1.5 million. The Phils have already used nine starters this year after last year when they only used seven total during their World Series championship season. Pedro should bring some balance to the shaky staff especially considering he pitched extremely well in the World Baseball Classic for the Dominican Republic. Just let your soul glow Pedro!

Antoine Walker Will Work For Food

July 14, 2009 by

Antoine “I never saw a shot I didn’t like” Walker has been charged by Las Vegas prosecutors for owing some serious cabbage to some Vegas Casinos. Walker who won a NBA Title with the Miami Heat in 2006 owes Planet Hollywood, Red Rock Resort and Caesars Palace close to $1 million. Looks like someone will be heading off to Europe for a couple of seasons since no one in the NBA is willing to give you a shot anymore.

Simona Halep Has Done the Deed

July 11, 2009 by

A little over a month ago we broke the tragic news that Simona Halep was considering having a breast reduction. Halep stated it was necessary to reduce her 34DD breasts in order to improve her overall tennis game. I’m guessing everyway she turned those mamma jamma’s just kept getting in the way. Today I sadly bring you the unfortunate news that Halep has carried out her threat and has gone through with the breast reduction. Halep has made a full recovery and is already back on the court training. Let’s all please take a moment to stop and pour a bit of our beer out for our lost homies.

Erin Andrews Foul Play

July 9, 2009 by

Last night Erin Andrews was hit in the face by an Alex Cora foul ball during the fourth inning of the Dodgers/Mets game. The ball struck the smokin hot Andrews directly on the chin and just a couple of innings later she was carted off to the hospital. No need to get to stressed out though because ESPN released a statement stating she was going to be just fine and would be working the MLB All-Star events and the ESPY’s this coming week. I don’t know about you, but this is definitely a sigh of relief on my part.

Nate Myles Really Had to Go

July 8, 2009 by

I think for most of us it’s pretty much common knowledge rugby players like to drink them some beer and party. I mean weren’t they always the ones in a run down shack at your college who were consistently throwing keg parties and getting so drunk they ran into walls or jumped off decks? Nate Myles an Australian Rugby League star definitely fits the mold of your typical rugby players albeit a bit more overboard than most. Myles has been suspended for six matches after being found drunk and naked in the hallway of a high class hotel. That is pretty bad, but the bigger problem was he decided to drop the kids off at the pool in the hallway, but there wasn’t even a pool. Yes, Myles sculpted mud right out in front of God and everyone. It seems he was sorry though based on his statement, “I am just very embarrassed and very sorry.” “I had a stomach bug and what happened was just a terrible accident.” That must have been one serious stomach bug Nate and I’m betting it is all due to the 22 shots of Patron you had that evening.

Keith Langston won his second race of the year at Orange County Speedway in dominating fashion this past Saturday. “Sippi” Langston led the entire Pure Stock race on the Fourth of July, but it definitely wasn’t without suspense during the final laps. This win gives Langston a commanding 26 point lead in the overall points race and he has his eyes on another OCS Pure Stock Championship.
