Man, the Mets can’t catch a break.

Now, it’s their All Star closer who’s dealing with a medical condition.  And, as I’ve learned from Dr. Apatow, it’s an ailment you can only get from having someone fart, bare-assed, on your pillow

Here is video of Chuck Liddell and his girlfriend Heidi Northcott working out in the nude. How does the person videotaping get this close without being caught? This is broad daylight and you can see that the camera is right against the window.

And why does anyone find it necessary to lift weights in the buff? Then again “The Iceman” is ripped and I am an overweight Asian.

-H/T The Big Lead

WTF are Emmanuel Eboue, Andrey Ashavin and Nicklas Bendtner doing?

This item comes from Blind Gossip and asks us:

“While quite a few celebrities have managed to make their way up to Vancouver for the Olympic Games, one actor certainly made a less-than-super impression. He really wanted to see a particular event – for which tickets were in big demand – and was observed trying to buy some off of a scalper. When told the price, he started yelling at the scalper, saying that the price was outrageous and that there should be some sort of discount for celebrities like him. Although scalping is not illegal in British Columbia, a little discretion would have probably been more appropriate. Then again, maybe our actor was just trying to be funny.”

As much as I would like it to be Hayden Christensen, it probably isn’t. His life is too good. Why can’t I be engaged to Rachel Bilson?

P.S. Do I look like John Park from American Idol? I say no, but everyone around me says yes. My hair isn’t even styled like that anymore!

And he puts nicely into words what we’re all thinking…

This is amazing, if real. The Vince Carter 86 footer while seated might be the trick shot of the year. Probably the man’s greatest accomplishment since the 2000 dunk contest.

Someone please show me a video from another angle. I am skeptical of anything where the ball leaves the frame for any amount of time.

A few months ago, WABC-TV sports anchor Marvell Scott left his TV career to practice medicine full time.  Sounds like a nice story, right?  The Daily News thought so. Add in the fact that he traveled to Haiti after the earthquake to help provide medical care to the victims, and this guy sounds like the best friggin’ guy ever.

Whoops.

Today’s blind item comes from BuzzFoto and asks us:

“We hear this wife of a talented athlete is using a recent affair as leverage to get what she wants. What does she want? She wants to be an actress. His PR team are scrambling to come up with a way to give her some press coverage, without revealing her husband’s most recent indiscretion.”

Not Elin Nordegren.

This seems too easy. It has to be Cheryl Cole, doesn’t it? Look at the way she jetted off to LA after the news of her husband’s infidelity hit the papers. Then again she does have her own PR team.

But if it is the Girls Aloud star here is some advice, maybe you should stay away from Derek Hough if you want to be an actress. It didn’t do Shannon Elizabeth any good dating the Z-lister.

Alex Ovechkin laid out my favorite hockey player Jaromir Jagr.

Kenny Mayne is the funniest man in Bristol. And, no, that is not the equivalent of being the tallest man at the midget convention. (Sorry.. little people convention.) He’s left the Sportscenter desk behind in order to work on things like the Mayne Event on NFL countdown and Mayne Street, a full on internet show. A new episode hits ESPN tomorrow.

And now, he’s decided to slum it a bit, and have a conversation with SportsCracklePop.
