Joe Buck Takes it in the Ass on His First Show Fancy Tickling, Funny, Hot Shit, Sporting | Comments
First off, if you don't think that Joe Buck sucks, you probably won't appreciate this. Secondly, Joe Buck is an asshole. Thirdly, Joe Buck's new TV show, HBO's Joe Buck Live, debuted on June 15th and was described the following day on NBC Los Angeles as "a trainwreck." The below footage of the episode is some of the most amazing TV I've ever seen, as Buck's show is, literally, hijacked by comedian Artie Lange, who, seemingly, for no apparent reason, decides to just lay into Buck for about 15 minutes straight. Hard. Now, I have to admit, before I saw ...

Iverson Makes Successful Return to Hip-Hop Funny, Hip-Hop, Philly, Sporting | Comments
...by way of his most famous press conference and some guy on YouTube. The result is worth a viewing: Also, you can download "Press Hop" as an .mp3 (if you so choose) either here or here. [thanks Tom]

Albert Pujols = God? Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Sporting | Comments
Oh Bradley...You Were So Young Then... Sure, most of us probably know about the sick game that Albert Pujols had yesterday. But did you know that he's now calling his shots? The following is an excerpt from today's St. Louis Post-Dispatch: After opening the third inning with a fly out, Pujols returned to the Cardinals clubhouse to review video. There he predicted to assistant hitting coach Mike Aldrete that his next at-bat would ricochet off the yet-to-open Royals Hall of Fame behind the visitors bullpen in left field. “He didn’t say he might hit the Hall of Fame. He said he would hit ...

Tiger Able to Show Off Even at Exhibition Match Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Sporting, Videos | Comments
So Tiger, Jack, Kenny Perry and Stewart Cink, all played together in the Memorial Skins Challenge this afternoon, and not only did Tiger take home the lion's share of cash, but he also did so in a way only he could. There were four skins that had carried over to the 18th, and Tiger hit a clutch putt to deny Kenny Perry the win. With five skins now carrying over, the four players decided to have a closest to the pin contest from off the 18th green, and Tiger decided to show off by holing his chip.... The guy is just ...

The NBA Playoffs: “Where Bitch Slapping Happens” Fancy Tickling, Funny, Sporting, Videos | Comments
Just a great take on those NBA Playoff commercials...cheap laughs? Maybe. But brilliant? Definitely. (Plus, I had no idea Eddie House's headband did a full rotation on his head until I watched it in slo-mo here, so this is definitely worth a watch if only for that) [via 2dopeboyz and YouTube]

Los WFC “Filis” Uniforms Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Philly, Sporting | Comments
In honor of Cinco de Mayo, and inspired by the traditionally half-hearted attempts by MLB to pay tribute to the holiday, the folks over at the fantastic Uniwatch decided to design their own Latin-themed baseball uniforms, and the results are fantastic. In the past, Major League Baseball has “honored” this holiday by outfitting some teams in Latino heritage jerseys, some of which have been more successful than others. But the usual approach of putting “Los” in front of the team’s name (which PL has written about before) is so lazy and unimaginative...What follows then, are some absolutely outstanding conceptual approaches Paulie ...

Padraig Harrington = Happy Gilmore? Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Sporting, Videos | Comments
First, hats off to the three-time major winner Padraig for being a good sport and trying this out, attempting to answer the question that has been boggling each one of our minds since the very first time we watched Adam Sandler's seminal golf movie twelve years ago (yeah, twelve years): does the Happy Gilmore actually work? Padraig does his best to answer that question, and to some surprising results (+30 yards), though, admittedly, things are relatively boring until about the 3:00 minute mark for all you other A.D.D.'ers out there: [via Kottke]

Danny MacAskill: Making Bicycles Cooler Everyday Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Sporting, Videos | Comments
This is just completely absurd. And one ball or not, I guarantee Lance Armstrong can't do any of this: [via Kottke & YouTube]

R.I.P. Harry Life, Philly, Sporting | Comments
To the greatest announcer in sports history: we'll miss you... [caption id="attachment_2955" align="aligncenter" width="385" caption="Harry Kalas R.I.P."][/caption] Harry Kalas, the Phillies' long-time, Hall-of-Fame announcer, died today after collapsing in the broadcasting booth in Washington. He was 73 and one of the most beloved figures in Philadelphia sports history. The Phils have cancelled their Tuesday trip to the White House and, as of right now, are set to play a game (somehow) 20 minutes from now. At least he was able to make this call last October, in what will, perhaps, go down as the most famous call in Philadelphia sports history: [audio: harryphilschamps.mp3] UPDATE (3:30PM): ...

Phils Get that Ice Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Philly, Sporting | Comments
[caption id="attachment_2873" align="aligncenter" width="496" caption="Jimmy and His Ring"][/caption] Peep these suckers. 103 diamonds: one for each of the Philadelphia Phillies' victories on their way to capturing the World Series title this past season. Yup, they won it, the World Series, and now they are the defending World Champions. World Fucking Champions. World Fucking Champions that pulled off an amazing win today, capping off a memorable afternoon by coming back to notch their first win of the season after having trailed 10-3 in the bottom of the 7th (peep the FanGraph of the game here). Moving right along, here are some pictures ...

Rene Higuita and the Scorpion kick Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Sporting, Videos | Comments
By no means am I endorsing soccer; soccer still blows ass...a lot of ass. But the "Scorpion Kick" is easily the coolest soccer-related thing I've ever seen - aside from that one girl that stripped on-field: [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yCxe4r6SjH0[/youtube] "It's a stunning move with no recourse if you get it wrong because you're on the ground face down. In this case, if he'd missed, England scores, which the shooter must surely have thought was going to happen when Higuita started the dive. I can't imagine the impact in the stands or on the pitch. Hearts must have skipped beats, breathing stopped, and then all ...

Michael Jordan Voted into the Hall of Fame Fancy Tickling, Hot Shit, Life, MJ, Sporting | Comments
Michael Jordan was chosen to be inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame on Monday. Michael Jordan was elected to the class of 2009 on Monday, set for induction in Septemeber with his Dream Team teammates David Robinson and John Stockton. I can't go on without the video from his induction speech yesterday that they show on SportsCenter; it's absolutely amazing. Instead, here's another obnoxiously large but awesome picture of MJ: UPDATE: I still can't find a video of the speech; the best I can find is some quotes from it from the Philadelphia Inquirer and a couple of other places. I'm holding ...
