Hey peeps, happy fourth and shizznit. To celebrate, we’ve got a whole crapload of useless crap for you to bore yourselves with.

Readyyyy….GO!

Sox - Yankees all weekend!

Arod is playing hot dog down the hallway with Madonna?

Heres a transcript of Roger Clemons and Brian Mcnamee’s email awesomeness of gay.

Jagr’s gone to Russia.

Kobayashi loses in Overtime.

And finally, Gary Busey doing what Gary Busey does best, being effed.

Why Sumo Wrestling is Fun

Are you actively obese?

Does your idea of the perfect sport include eating and then eating?

Do you enjoy manthongs, sweat and eating?

Can you wield a spatula like a katana blade?

Then sumo may be the sport for you! Read more

Fighting in Sports

I was watching some random 4am sports montage on some random cable station about fighting in Major league sports. The story was about how our hero’s are teaching our kids that violence is ok.

First off, I just want to say that soldiers are the real hero’s right? Whether we agree with the premise of why they are there be damned. We are here, they are dying, we are still sitting here…end of discussion.

So lets for a moment forgo the obvious problem I have with calling them heroes and focus instead on what they were actually doing. Violence in sports is never going away, and it is for the most part few and far between. Only when you are looking to scrutinize something do you begin to notice its regularity. Read more

Women Have Soft Balls; Ambiguity Intended

We tend to focus here on the bad stuff - people failing (drug tests), who’s having sex with whom, who’s an ass-donkey (Jack McCallum).

Well, thankfully Division II Women’s Softball has come to the rescue with a tale worthy of a Disney movie, after one of the players who had never hit a home run in her entire career (wait for it)

…hit a home run…

but was injured over-running first so the opposing team carried her around the bases.

 It’s a sterling example of sportsmanship, the power of the team and of overcoming all odds, blah blah and it makes me surprisingly horny sick.

This is why women will never take over the world - “oh you’ve shot me!” “oh no!, here let me help you to a hospital!”

 

John Daly Loves Golf, Hates Shirts

In an interview recently with some hillbilly news station, drinkin’, smokin’, tokin, snortin’ golf pro John Daly kindly took time off of his busy schedule to be interviewed.

His apparent disregard for a shirt or shoes was oddly appropriate as he drawled on through the questions sounding like Farmer Fran from The Waterboy.

Dwyane Wade, Star Jones - Wait, What?

Loyal reader KingBill emailed me this story (you know when the subject line of an email is: “I just threw up in my mouth a little” its gonna be a good one), but I’m still not sure I get it.

Apparently, Star Jones and Dwayne Wade are dating. I don’t know if it’s true or not, as the Detroit Free Press article simply has a bullet point saying:

• Star Jones, reportedly dating Miami Heat star Dwyane Wade, has filed for a divorce from her husband of about three years, Al Reynolds.

The 10 Crappiest Sports Cities

Forbes.com released an article today detailing the top 10 worst sports cities in America.

Now I’m sure we’ve all made a list like this before, but unfortunately my objectivity gets skewed as soon as I read a single comment by anybody from Philly, see another Manning commercial or have to listen to a douchy Jets fan bitch about spygate.

I’ll be the first to admit that while I’m right, my selection criteria might be a tad obtuse.

Forbes has managed to base their selections on fanciful things like “statistics” and “percentages”. pfft.

Check it out HERE. You’ll be happy to know that Philadelphia still made the list, as well as few more surprising bottom feeders.

Weekend Link Dump - Kid n Play edition

Ahhh yes, the joys of blatant plagiarism…

…and since i’m not actually a “journalist”, I have absolutely no reason to sip from the sacred chalice of journalistic integrity , I can instead swill from a theoretical beer stein of internet bootlegging.

First off, Drew from KSK wrote this for Deadspin.com. I think it nicely encompasses exactly why I have a site like this.

Heres a little throw back to my favorite album ever.

This is what the Yankees get for hiring a Bostonian to build their new stadium…Loonie under center ice anyone?

NHL players and their celebrity look alikes…go for Sakic, stay for the Ovechkin.

And finally, the greatest HBO Boxing commentator (and my Idol) Max Kellerman rap video you’ll see today.

Happy weekend time.

Bill Simmons: Sports Writing Legend or Ridiculous Mega-Dork?

Love and hate. Hate and love.

This is the problem with sports. I love ‘em and hate ‘em. Fun to play, fun to watch and even sometimes fun to talk about. (The English call it “sport” which actually makes much more sense, but I won’t confuse the peasantry). Anyhoo, the problem with SO MANY sports fans (you? probably.) is that they are DORKS with no clue as to what they’re talking about.

Listen to any sports call-in show (except maybe Rome) and my point is proven. Read more

Athlete Mugshot Gallery

Apparently the AOL Sports guys should be writing for TheHouseofSmack, because their slideshow of the 22 best athlete mugshots is pretty damn impressive:

Check the full list HERE.

Apart from being pissed off I didn’t think of it myself, I did have some inane observations on the list that they produced.

1) The most glaring is the uncanny resemblance of Chris Henry and John Leguizamo’s character on Ice Age, you be the judge…

It’s simply impossible for me to look at any photo’s of Chris Henry now without hearing him say:

“Sschorry offisscher, I sschertainly didn’t mean to hit the man, I promissch I wont do it again…”

2) They also missed an assload of other amaaazing athlete mugshots from the past, so in traditional TheHouseofSmack.com one-up-dom, I added a few to the list here: Read more
