So what does an athlete do with their cars when they get sick of them? If that athlete is Stephen Ireland, you get a third party to list the 2008 Audi R8 for sale on Auto Trader. I mean you seriously don’t want to drive a car past 20,000 miles, do you? That is only done by mere peasants. What you want to do is upgrade your fleet of cars with something from this decade.

So if you or anyone you know just happens to have £69,950 lying around go ahead and buy the Manchester City’s Audi R8. Actually Shaq or Dwight Howard should pick this car up. It already has the Superman gas cap.

Are we suppose to believe that these 2 chicks making out at the Bulls game wasn’t staged? And how is no one around them noticing what is going on. It’s like they just “green screened” the two girls in there. I mean honestly why isn’t there a perverted guy taking photos with his cell phone? If it was me I would be trying to shove my tongue in there.

I’m back with more judgmental declarations about the way people speak.

Why am I qualified to make these declarations? Because William Safire is dead and I’m not.

Today’s edition focuses on the work of a number of broadcasters who discuss basketball for a living and the pet phrase they misuse consistently.

More to the point: YOU DO NOT DEFEND THE BASKETBALL

When the Chuck Liddell nude workout video first hit the internet I thought to myself this had to be a ploy. And now that Chad Ocho Cinco has a similar type of video released we can safely say it is part of Reebok’s viral marketing plan for their new ZigTech brand of sneakers.

Weird, but it definitely got people talking.

Plus it also helped seeing Pauly D and Mike “The Situation” talk to both athletes about the shoe. (Video after the jump)

It is that time of year again. When Rich Eisen dons a Prada suit and takes his turn at the 40 yard dash.

Just like last year my favorite part is when the NFL Network does some simul-camming of actual pro prospects against Eisen. This time they used Tim Tebow, Jacoby Ford, and Terrence Cody. Watch and enjoy.

All the athletes in Russia that competed at the Winter Olympics in Vancouver and those responsible for training them, better watch their back. The Russians are so upset over their dismal performance, President Dmitri A. Medvedev is threatening to take action.

Russia won just three gold medals and placed sixth in the overall medal count, igniting a firestorm of controversy. Mr. Medvedev, who didnt even attend the closing ceremony of the games, issued this statement in Moscow on Monday. “They must have the the courage to submit their resignation. And if they do not have this resolve, we will help them.” Even, former President and ex-KGB agent Vladimir V. Putin weighed in on the situation last week saying the matter required “serious critical analysis.”

The world should pay close attention to the events that transpire in Russia after these games and before they host the 2014 olympics in Sochi. Let’s just hope Alexander Ovechkin doesnt end up looking like Alexander Litvinenko.

New York Nostalgia continues on SportsCracklePop.  A couple of weeks ago, we spoke to the author of a new biography of Willie Mays.  Today, it’s that other team that left for the coast. Michael D’Antonio has written “Forever Blue,” a biography of former Dodgers owner Walter O’Malley. You may not know who he is, but your grandfather hates him.
