Farmers Insurance just hit the jackpot with this music video. Getting Ben Crane, Bubba Watson, Rickie Fowler, & Hunter Mahan to for the PGA version of a boy band is incredibly awesome. The only thing missing is a shirtless Rory McIlroy chugging some Jager.

This alone might make me wager on Fowler to win the US Open at +7000. Oh Oh Oh!

Esquire Magazine gets Brooklyn Decker to teach us how to properly clean our silk sheets.

I’m not really a laundry whiz (even though I’m Asian), but this doesn’t seem like the way to do it.

It’s been 17 years since “Now I Can Die In Peace!”

While Dirk Nowitzki was busy destroying the dreams of the Miami Heat, Paul Pierce was fulfilling one of his own by playing in the 2011 World Series of Poker. He might not win the bracelet, but “The Truth” will always have that NBA championship ring.

Dwyte Pilgrim looks to have all Pierce’s chips.

One of the best, if not the best pregame rituals in all of sports is the Haka performed by the New Zealand rugby team. The intensity on the players face show just how much this ritual means. That is why when they asked Dwight Howard to join them at the Adidas Eurocamp he must have been honored. Watch as the slam dunk champ puts his all into it.

As the SCP book club discussion moved past the initial edition, the writer expected it to continue at it’s initial pace. Quickly, though, it became obvious that would not be the case. The participants, busy with their own lives, struggled to to find enough time to read the hundreds of pages that SportsCracklePop expected to be covered. It became obvious that what was originally intended to be a weekly feature would actually work better for everyone as a bi-weekly discussion. So, the second edition of the “Those Guys Have All The Fun” book club finally makes its long awaited appearance. Edition two covers chapters 4 and 5 of the book, from page 215 to page 454, ESPN’s history between 1992 and 2000.

I think we can all agree on one thing. DeShaun Stevenson has something wrong with him. But it’s a benign psychosis. More, “Dancing to Bobby Brown and singing Phil Collins during the Hangover,” era Mike Tyson than, “Raping beauty contestants and eating human ears” era Mike Tyson.

Stevenson’s latest wacko victory is this shirt, that he was spotted in today.

The best part is the bottom. HDNet is owned by Mark Cuban. You know the Mavs owner ordered this on cafepress himself, then tried to find the perfect player to wear it. It’s possible this is the only reason Stevenson was even on the Dallas roster this season.

Things are looking very promising for the 22 year old Rickie Fowler. Not only has the 2010 PGA Rookie of the Year managed to impress on the course, Fowler and his good looks are impressing people off of it as well. As evidenced by his spread in the July issue of GQ.

He looks like Zac Efron’s identical twin in this picture. I guess when you resemble one of young Hollywood’s elite, the endorsement deals come flying at you.

The Golden Nugget sportsbook released their 2011 college football opening spreads on 105 games for this upcoming season. As a degenerate gambler it is fun to see how the “sharps” move the line with the money they wager. With a limit of $1000/game and a max of three games each window visit these guys must have waited in the long lines numerous times throughout the day.

From the looks of it, people think Vegas undervalued Georgia while overvaluing Michigan.

Which lines do you like? (Only major changes noted)

While on vacation in Barbados, Wayne Rooney found himself at a piano bar leading the crowd in a medley of songs. From The Beatles’ “Yesterday” to Oasis’ “Wonderwall,” the Manchester United star didn’t hold back.

Now if he can transfer this new found confidence to some of his England teammates, it would make qualification for Euro 2012 a little more easier.
