My picks have gone cold. Ice cold! But like a degenerate I will continue to make wagers. Just going to try and keep the schedule light until I right the ship. Remember these picks are for recreation only.

Ohio St vs. Michigan 12PM

The Wolverines can’t stop anyone. You can’t blame their second half collapse on Tate Forcier or the offense. That blame lies strictly on the defensive side of the ball. For that reason I think the Buckeyes will romp and score all over Michigan.

Pick - Ohio St/Michigan Over  47.5 2 units

In a heated contest for the 2009 NL Cy Young award, Kate Hudson’s ex-husband and lead singer of the Black Crowes, Chris Robinson, was honored as the only professional musician to win the Cy Young award two consecutive years in a row.

In an effort to upstage Arod, his ex-wife’s new boytoy, Robinson led the NL with 261 strikeouts this year and has stolen back the heart of Ms. Hudson. In honor of this year’s award ceremony, Robinson shaved his trademark beard.  Check out the photos below of Robinson at the press conference and rekindling his relationship with Kate now that he’s proved that he can play in the major leagues too.

50 Cent and his people must not watch the NBA on TNT. On Wednesday, the gangster rapper was the musical star on the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” show, sharing the stage with broadcaster Marv Albert. Backstage as the guests arrived, protectors for the hip- hop star failed to recognize the veteran announcer, resulting in a scuffle and a bruised ego.

“As Albert arrived, with an entourage of one, TNT public relations specialist Jeff Pomeroy, there was a sudden scuffle when a multitude of 50 Cent protectors seemed unfamiliar with Albert. There was shouting (”It’s Marv Albert,” yelled a Kimmel show guard, a pronouncement that seemed to have no effect on the 50 Cent phalanx.) There were obscenities. A fist or two flying. A “Don’t you put your hands on me” pronouncement.

And finally Albert made it to his waiting room, relatively unruffled but slightly puzzled. “Did you see that?” Albert said. “I thought they were kidding, but then I realized they weren’t.”

P.S. I am surprised Marv didn’t bite anyone! (King Ing)

While everyone in the world is talking about the France v Ireland World Cup qualifying game; I would rather talk about the University of Hartford goalie that did cartwheels during a penalty shootout against Stony Brook.

Here is a little advice. If you are going to taunt the other team you better make sure you make the save. Otherwise you just look like a total jackass. (This is a week old and I don’t know how I missed this)

And I guess for those interested the Thierry Henry handball video is after the jump. FIFA will never admit it, but they got what they wanted. France, Argentina, and Portugal all qualified for the World Cup.

Now will they ever institute instant replay?

Last week, LeBron talked about honoring Michael Jordan by retiring #23 league wide. Well, now, it seems “The King” is trying to follow in the footsteps of another Nike star of the 1980’s: Bo Jackson.

Remember this commercial?

Well, it may be coming true.

Arsenal can be a spectacle to watch play on the pitch. But off it, they might be even better. This Gunners team is young and fun.

Take this for example. Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas, Andrey Arshavin and Bacary Sagna dress up in furry animal costumes to raise money for the Great Ormond Street Children’s Charity.

The video after the jump. If these people only knew who they were running away from.

Funny or Die makes up for their shiteous Tony Romo video with this spoof of Brett Favre’s Wrangler ad.

I wonder if they shot this video in Gainesville, Florida? The place where jean shorts reign supreme.

Adidas released a new commercial featuring Zinedine Zidane watching on as David Beckham and Steven Gerrard call out their shots. Accuracy is always key.

This ad brings back memories of those awesome Larry Bird and Michael Jordan McDonald’s commercials.
