If you took a look at this picture without any pre-existing knowledge of the two men sitting there, which one would you think has the serious chronic illness?

Not for myself of course. That would be creepy and something California Correspondant would do. Anyway you don’t want to hear about his sick fetishes, you would rather look at Adriana Lima in some Victoria Secret lingerie. I still don’t get what Marko Jaric did in a past life to deserve all he has, but I want in on that plan.

That was a dud of a National Championship game. North Carolina proved what most thought all season. That they were the best team in the nation.

Overall these 64 games provided us with some memorable moments. Not overly spectacular, but as always it was exciting and had us watching. To sum it all up College Hoops Journal runs down the top 10 games of this years tournament. #1 should be no surprise to anyone.

And finally to end the 2009 season here is One Shining Moment. This never fails to give me goosebumps. (A 2010 pre-pre-preseason top 10 will be out later)

No, I’m not talking about their past. Today George W. Bush threw the ceremonial first pitch at Rangers Ballpark to Josh Hamilton. If there’s one thing Bush is actually good at, it’s throwing the ceremonial first pitch. It appeared to be a strike.

Busted Coverage has video of Shelley Smith “closing down the bar” in Detroit this past weekend. Not sure if she just tripped on something or just plain stumbled into the guys arms.

Either way it brings us to the question of the weekend…Who was in worse shape, King Ing or Shelley Smith? I vote for myself. I was unfocused and undisciplined like UCONN on Saturday. (Goodbye and thank you Jeff Adrien, AJ Price, Craig Austrie. And probably Hasheem Thabeet and Stanley Robinson)

Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers talks up a fugazy blonde at Body English in Las Vegas on Saturday night. Isn’t he suppose to be at offseason workouts?

The NY Times flexes their journalistic prowess today, uncovering a little-known group of baseball card collectors that share their exuberance in the “breaking” (ie. opening) of a box of new cards by posting their videos on YouTube.

“When you’re in a card store and you’re opening up a box of cards, I don’t care who’s in the store, they’re all waiting to see what you’re going to get,” said Rick Dalesandro, 45.

As a kid who collected baseball cards, I know the excitement that comes from opening a new pack of cards. And now you can experience this without even having to buy the cards. Continue Reading

As previously advertised, I attended the Yankees/Cubs exhibition game at Yankee Stadium Friday night (otherwise known as the first ever game in the new building.) Impressions? I have a few.

Paul O’Neill (with a mobster-like shirt collar) and David Cone handled the commentary, Reggie Jackson threw the inaugural pitch, Wang threw the first pitch for a strike,  Jeter got the Yankees first hit (for a double actually), Cano had the first HR, and Tex had the first K from a Yank (hopefully not a sign of things to come).

Justin is attending tonight’s game, so we’ll ask him if he has any good dirt. I want to know if he witnessed the first fight in the bleachers, the first ejected fan, or the first beer thrown at a Cubs fan.

Not only is Ty Lawson regarded as the best point guard in the country, it seems he has handles off the court as well. Craps is probably my favorite pit game in the casino and it seems like the reigning ACC Player of the Year has the same affinity for the dice.

Actually, I already played, Lawson said this afternoon. We got in last night, and Coach gave us a curfew of 1:30 (a.m.). I went over to Greektown and won about $250. So I already had my time there. It”s probably the last time I go there before the games start.

It seems like he wins everytime too. I need to start rolling with him. Unless he bets the don’t pass line! Then I despise him with every ounce of hate in my body.

“Much like on the court, Lawson is usually a winner, having peaked with an $1,800 score in the Bahamas.”

The only time I lost was in Reno; that’s when everybody on the team lost, Lawson said. “It’s the only place I lost. The other five or six times I did gamble, I won at least $500. Last night, it was all craps. It was like within an hour.

Ace-deuce on the hop!
