I don’t know who came up with the idea for this Nike shoe commercial where Kobe Bryant fake jumps a car in his new sneakers, but they are a bunch of idiots. Mind you, any kid dumb enough to actually think he can jump over a speeding car with just the right “sneaks”, as the kids call it, probably deserves to be weeded out, if just for the sake of Darwinism, but you gotta admit that the commercial is bound to spawn a bunch of imitators among the throng of kids out there. Get ready for the inevitable lawsuits when some kids goes splat trying this stunt, sorta like what happens below, only for real.

Oh sure, so this post is, like, two weeks late and change, but give me a break, the day it broke I was busy with something else. This Vogue cover with Lebron James acting all King Kong like with Gisele Bundchen (as Fay Wray, of course) got people riled up mid-March when it came out. At that time, I was busy with something else; hey, stalking the neighbor girl is hard work, you know, especially since she started realizing I’ve been peeking into her bedroom through the little hole I drilled in the back of her house, but perhaps I’ve said to much. Anyhoo, here’s that cover. I think it’s pretty harmless, but then again, I’m not black, so what do I know.

It had to be a buch of green-jersey wearing doofuses, didn’t it? The Houston Rockets’ 22-game winning streak came to an abrupt end last night at the wrong end of a 20-point game. Boston, led by Kevin Garnett, dunked the crap out of Houston, especially on the offensive boards. All those scrappy plays, those lucky bounces of the ball that went Houston’s way during the win streak, went Boston’s way last night. But cheer up, Houston, if history is any indication, this Boston team of Garnet, Ray Allen, and Paul Pierce aren’t going anywhere. Houston tried it two times, and the Lakers tried it once, but the results were always the same: great winning percentage in the regular season, but failure in the playoffs. You don’t win championships by cobbling together aging great players, the way Boston is trying it; you do it with a team that’s played together for years.

New Orleans Saints running back Reggie Bush likes bit butts and he cannot lie, as Sir Mix-alot would say. But hey, there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that. As the boys like to say, big butts mean more pillow for the pushin’. Or something to that affect. Luckily for Bush, he’s hooked up with Kim Kardashian, who probably has the biggest butts in all of Hollywood, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that at all. Junk in the trunk is a welcome sight from all the skinny bitches currently trolling the halls of Lalaland at the moment. Here’s Kim Kardashian in a bikini showing off the generous package with Reggie Bush doing what rich and famous people do, go on vacation and do that whole beach frolicking thing. Ah, to be rich and famous…

Dude, talk about Shaolin Soccer! Remember that movie with Stephen Chow a few years back where Chow and company used Shaolin kung fu to play soccer? Well this Chinese goalie, during a match between China and Japan, took it literally, and jump kicked the Japanese player in the chest! I mean, damn, a flying kick to the chest! Seriously? Dude! Of course, this is just going to make the tension between China and Japan even worst, but what the hell, if more stuff like this comes from it, I’m all for Chinese-Japanese tension! Bring it on!

Dwight Howard is a baaaaaad man. But then again, when you’re 6′11 but you can leap tall buildings in a single bound, slipping on the Superman costume during the Slam Dunk contest at the 2008 NBA All-Stars is all in a day’s work. Here’s Dwight Howard wowing the New Orleans crowd by pulling off his jersey to reveal a Superman emblem underneath, then he slips on a cape and does a spectacular dunk that’s less a dunk than it is a, well, what do you call it, “throw it into the basket” dunk? Whatever you call it, DAAAAAAAAAAAMN.

How many times do we have to see it? A white guy who can play a little ball thinks his ability to put the ball in the basket means he can automatically dunk, too. Then they give it a shot and bam, a cute girl gets a face full of thigh. Hey, at least it’s thighs, and not some guy’s crotch in the face, right? Check out this video. I’m not sure where this is from, probably Europe or thereabouts, because white guys in America who can’t dunk don’t try to dunk. But these European white guys still think they can, and this is what happens. Stupid European white guys. White guys can’t dunk!

It was the stunner of the year — the perfect New England Patriots, 18-0 coming into Superbowl 42, got their asses handed to them by the New York Giants’ insane, insane, insane defense. Final score: Giants: 17, Patriots: 14. Ironically, the Giants’ upset over the Patriots reminded me of the 2002 Superbowl, when the Pats upset the heavily favored Rams. Go figure. This means Tom Brady won’t be getting fitted for his 4th Superbowl ring. But before you feel too sorry for Tom Brady, remember this: He’s going home to Gisele Bundchen (below), and we’re … not.

If you don’t know who Chris Berman is, then you don’t watch ESPN religiously, or at all. Anyone who watches sports and ESPN knows the name Chris Berman — he’s a famous sports anchor. And from all appearances, he’s a great guy. Um, maybe not. Here’s a behind-the-scenes video of Chris Berman on the set of Monday Night Football going off on the crew around him. It’s a 90-second video of Berman cussing like a sailor and chastising the crew around him for being unprofessional. My favorite line: he keeps asking the crew if they’ve ever done this before. Fantastic stuff!

Being that I’m a sports fan, I get two benefits of watching the Superbowl every year: one, I get the great games, which have been great basically for the last 10 years that I’ve watched the Superbowls closely; and two, I get to watch all the cool commercials and, as a movie fan, all the cool movie trailers for upcoming films. Who could forget that totally awesome trailer for “The Matrix” movie? With the bullet-time effect? So in honor of the upcoming Superbowl (it’s this Sunday, ya bums), here is an advance preview of the 2008 Superbowl commercials that you’ll see in-between the hits, the interceptions, and the Patriots kicking the crap out of the Giants. (Or vice versa.) Thanks Associated Press!

It’s on! After a full day of killer football, Super Bowl XLII is set and ready to go: the undefeated New England Patriots versus the improbable New York Giants. What you have here is basically a team that everyone expected to reach the Super Bowl reaching the Super Bowl, and the team that no one expected to reach the Super Bowl doing likewise. When you look at it, the Giants are the more impressive team — they beat three teams in a roll on the road in the Playoffs just to make it to the Super Bowl. The Pats, meanwhile, only had to beat two teams in the comforts of home. Here’s my pick for Super Bowl XLII: Pats in a squeaker. Or maybe Pats in a blow-out. Either/or. It’ll still be the Pats.

Frank Caliendo started off as a castmember on FOX’s little-seen skit show MadTV, but he’s since broaden off into his own TV show on one of the basic cable networks. Caliendo is a brilliant imitator, and he can do pretty much everyone, but his best impression has to be as John Madden, the football announcer. What makes it so funny? Probably how Caliendo makes Madden look like a total spaz, and will go on for whole sentences without actually saying anything, or even forming actual words. Here are some of Frank Caliendo’s best moments as John Madden.

There is a moment after the Dallas Cowboys lost to the New York Giants where Terrell Owens, he of the big fly shades and bald head, starts crying to the media about how they (the media) are now going to pin the blame on Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo. Which, if you’ve seen the game, I would have, since Romo played like crap. But what about TO’s crying? Is it real? Is it all an act? I don’t know. Trying to figure out this guy is like trying to figure out the secret hidden agenda of the turtle that keeps trying to eat my donut when I put it down for a moment to mess with my iPod. But see for yourself. Is it TO being a little biotch, or is it TO showing true emotions? You decide.

You know, when you’re 7′7″, you’re expected to do a lot of things — such as, stop people who are smaller than you from, you know, dunking on your big, King Kong-like ass. But I guess nobody told University of North Carolina at Asheville center Kenny George that. George, who stands 7′7″, recently got a major facial from University of North Carolina center Tyler Hansbrough, who stands a meager 6′9″. But that isn’t going to stop Hansbrough from bringing the pain on poor Kenny George. Take a look at the video and tell me who is a basketball player and who isn’t. Hint: The big guy didn’t get there because of a sweet jumper.

Wow. Golf. Remember when people actually considered that a sport, instead of a bunch of rich dorks in dorky clothes in the grass swinging a heavy steel pole at tiny white balls? Yup, the good ol days. I bet way back then you wouldn’t have gotten suspended from your job just because you replied to someone’s joke about “ganging up” on a black athlete by ad-libbing the comments, “Yeah, lynch him in the back alleys”. Which is what Golf Channel hottie Kelly Tilghman said, and which is why the Channel has suspended her for two weeks for the remark. It was a joke; a bad joke, but there’s no need to go suspending the girl. Check out some pictures of Kelly Tilghman and the video of the “lynching” comment. You can see she was just ad-libbing. So what does Kelly’s suspension mean? Well, frankly, now there is no reason to watch the Golf Channel for two weeks…

Steroids are running rampant in sports. Marion Jones, Roger Clemens — pretty much everyone we’ve looked up to for their athletic prowess have been proven to be cheaters. But what about the athletes that we’ve looked up to for their hotness? Not so hot there either, apparently. According to some dudes at the International Tennis Federation, the former Swiss Miss Martina Hingis has been suspended for two years after she had tested positive for cocaine at Wimbledon last year. As a result, Hingis will have to pay back the $129,481 she won and other assorted shaming. Of course, this would all have been much more stunning if, er, Hingis wasn’t already retired from tennis. Oh well.

I think pretty much anyone who watches NBA basketball will tell you that L.A. Lakers big man Lamar Odom is one swell guy. He’s faced a ton of adversity in his persona life, and has risen above it. Which is why this obviously flagrant foul by Lamar Odom on Boston Celtics shooting guard Ray Allen is so surprising. In the video, a clearly frustrated Odom, whose Lakers are getting creamed by the Celtics in the game, purposefully throws himself into Allen, knocking Allen into the sideline seats. This isn’t funny at all, and is kind of sad, again considering that Lamar Odom has always been such a classy and great guy. Anyways, judge for yourself.

So I was watching the USC-Illinois game a few days ago during the Rose Bowl, and although I have absolutely no love for the Trojans football squad (seriously, can ESPN and every other media outlet hype them up enough? I think not), the Trojan cheerleaders are another matter. I don’t know what it is — maybe it’s the cotton sweater and skimpy skirt, but those are some hot tomales working the sidelines. I’m telling you, the combination of cotton and skimpy skirt is to die for. Enjoy some Trojan love with the USC Cheerleaders, or as they’re also called, Song Leaders, whatever the hell that means. It’s skimpy skirt or bust.

In case you missed it, or in case you don’t care, Tom Brady and the New England Patriots rallied late in the fourth quarter Saturday evening to take out Eli Manning and the New York Giants on their way to claiming a perfect 16-0 regular season record, the first perfect regular season since the Dolphins did it in ‘72. That means the Pats have won all 16 games they played, and didn’t lose a single one. Now they’ll have to do it three more times, which will mean they have won the Superbowl. Who can possibly oppose these guys? Brady to Moss? Brady to Welker? Man, whoever has to go up against them in the Superbowl, I feel sorry for them. These guys are destined for a 19-0 season. And oh yeah, along the way, they broke every record in the book. Hot damn, the Playoffs can’t come fast enough.

According to French model Alexandra Paressant, she’s Tony Parker’s girlfriend. Or at least, she slept with the Spurs point guard, who just happens to be married to Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria. True? Not true? I don’t know, and to be honest, I just wanna give Tony Parker a big “atta boy!” and high-five, because whether he was schtooping Eva Longiria and Alexandra Paressant or not, he’s most definitely schtooping Eva Longoria, and there’s a really, really hot French model saying he’s been schtooping her, too, which makes Tony Parker a God among men. Here are some pictures of Alexandra Paressant. Yeah, it doesn’t suck to be Tony Parker at all.
