Nike put together this ad for their Nike Ignite campaign featuring Manchester United and Arsenal. The action picks up in the 90th minute, highlighted by a series of show stopping plays that can be found almost everytime these two clubs meet. With the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Cesc Fabregas, Denilson, Nicklas Bendtner and Carlos Tevez all included in the commercial, how could Nike go wrong.

Sarah Larson used to be one of the luckiest women on Earth when she dated Hollywood hunk George Clooney. Now she is trying to score another famous figure.

“Chicago Bears All-Pro linebacker Brian Urlacher with George Clooney’s ex, Sarah Larson, at The Bank (Bellagio). “They were holding hands, definitely on a Valentine’s Day date, a spy said. A year ago on Valentine’s Day, Larson and Clooney painted the town red.”

Urlacher knows how to pull out all the stops. A date at a nightclub on Valentine’s Day. Real Casanova!

Andy Pettitte and Mariano Rivera seemed more engaged with Derek Jeter scratching his nose than in what Alex Rodriguez  had to say about his steroid use.

Last night a fight broke out at a basketball game between two high schools; G.W Carver and Valley High Schools in Montgomery, Alabama. It all started when Valley’s Enrique Florence fouled Carver’s Roquez Johnson with 6 minutes 23 seconds remaining in the fourth quarter.

Johnson then retaliated by shoving Florence. That is when both benches went crazy and the fans started charging the floor. The video below shows just how crazy it got.

ARod met the media about his steroid use this afternoon. SCP  live-blogged all the steroidy fun.

Maybe this is why the Golden St. Warriors sport a 19-52 record. The players spend more time kicking basketballs into the stands than shooting them into the basket.

Actually there is nothing really wrong with their offense; it is the defensive side of the ball that needs working on. Kick on fellas and make those rookies get it.

Kellie Pickler has been all over New York Fashion Week sporting some very questionable looks. But thankfully yesterday she redeemed herself at the Farah Angsana, Tracy Reese, and Lela Rose Fall 2009 fashion shows on Monday. Even her NHL player/boyfriend Jordin Tootoo would approve.

Edit: About 100 members of the Kellie Pickler fan club have emailed me stating she does not date Tootoo anymore. I would like to make a sincere apology to Pickler-mania for that error.

Some WTF was she thinking pics after the jump. Seriously what is this blog turning into!

While most of you probably spent the Valentine’s  Day weekend with the one you love, Alex Rodriguez decided that he had enough loving to go around the city of Miami. Page Six writes:

“Friday night, the embattled Yankee slugger hung out with Ingrid Casares at Scarpetta, a restaurant in the Fontainebleau in Miami Beach, but he played the field Saturday. By day, he was photographed with model Melissa Britos; at night, he went on a date with “three hot chicks” to Prime 112, in South Beach, as Britos hung solo at the Louis Bar & Lounge at the Gansevoort South. “He left with the stunning blonde at, like, 3 a.m.,” our spy said.”

For the first time in A-Rod’s life he turned the triple play. BAM!

I didn’t see a second of the NBA All Star game but heard I really didn’t miss much. Everyone said the only real highlight was Shaquille O’Neal putting it down with the Jabbawockeez. If the DJ didn’t mix that music I bet you Big Shaq would still be dancing.

In other All Star weekend happenings Nate Robinson won the slam dunk contest over Dwight Howard. But my favorite moment was when Kenny Smith and Reggie Miller were ripping Sonny Weems for being J.R Smith’s dunk assistant.
