Got Hops??

This kid did a bounce-over-someone-standing-in-between-the-legs dunk. Yeah, it sounds impossible and complicated but he achieved it. Check the video out to believe it for yourself. It's sort of like the juror in shorts, hard to believe, but there's video that proves this. I remember when I was dunking like that in my backyard...



Also check out the video below and see Guy Dupuy who is in the video above as he has dunk #4, #2 and the #1 dunk. It's clear to say Guy has crazy hops, sort of like myself in my younger days.

Juror rocks shorts to Jury Duty

I like to bring you people things that will entertain you and help pass the time. Usually, my discussions will revolve around sports, women and funny videos. Occasionally, I like to drop some knowledge to some of you that..well have no knowledge. Let me tell you about a friend of mine that is currently doing his civil service, as a juror, at Sacramento County Court. The details of the case he's serving are irrelevant. What I do know, is this guy asked the bailiff if there was anyway he could wear shorts; due to his "ball sweat" problem. He explained to the bailiff how it was hard for him to focus with "ball sweat", and this guy was very well aware of the no shorts policy as I have copied onto this blog. Read the Dress Code and Code of Conduct below.

Found at: http://www.saccourt.ca.gov/jury/reporting.aspx

Dress Code and Code of Conduct

Be alert and courteous. You may bring a book to read while you are waiting for court to begin, or during recesses, but you will not be permitted to read while court is in session. If you have a pager or a cellular phone, you must turn it off or switch it to vibration mode while court is in session. Please dress appropriately for the courtroom. Business or casual attire is suggested. Shorts and tank tops are not acceptable. Any juror not appropriately dressed will be excused to return the next court day in appropriate attire. The temperature of the jury assembly area and courtrooms can be unpredictable. Jurors are encouraged to dress accordingly.


So now we all understand that shorts are not allowed. But, Mr. Juror, asked the bailiff and explained his "ball sweat" problem. The bailiff then asked the judge. It was the bailiff that pulled the juror to the said and explained to him, that he had been granted an exemption to rock shorts to jury duty. I guess rules are meant to be broken a little. So what's the point of this blog you ask? Well think about it, if a state rule can be amended just by asking, it should serve as a lesson for you all. Always ask, because you never know what can happen. Today three guys wore shorts, because of said juror's guts to ask the bailiff. The juror is now the man amongst the other men serving on the same jury. He will soon become the foreman of the deliberations. Soon, everyone serving jury duty will not be scared to ask if they can wear shorts. Remember friends, there are no stupid questions, just stupid people...

I leave you today with some knowledge. And knowledge is the ammunition some of you idiots need to get by in this cruel cruel world.

Extra credit: I'm suppose to be getting a photo from said juror to prove he wore shorts to the courthouse to serve jury duty. Once the photo has been received it will be posted...

Why wouldn't you be a Duck??



We have all heard about the million and three Nike uniform combinations the University of Oregon can make with their football uniforms. Yes, Nike, gives them plenty of free clothing and donates tons of money. Watch that video and check out the tour of what apparently is a training center/locker room. If I was a football player at Oregon, that would be my home. It's not only state of the art, but it has some erotic feel to it. I think they left out the part of the naked blondes that give massages after the games. Why aren't more blue-chip athletes going to Oregon? Can you imagine if USC or Florida had this kind of training center and that many Nike uniforms?

OUCH!!!



I've been told that every once in a while, I use clever lines to describe a picture...I got nothing for this one, because looking at it just pains me. I'm no doctor, but I think his leg is broken.

Justin Timberlake is back...

So JT dates Jessica Biel. That's enough for me to hate him. He appeared on Saturday Night Live this past weekend and again the bastard was funny. At some point I'll admit openly that I'm a JT fan, but I'm not ready to do it on my blog. Check out the skit on SNL below and also his follow up song to the hit "Dick in a Box." I dare you to try not to laugh....

High School football Player saves 22 Lives



It's not everyday we hear good news about an athlete. In this day an age we seem to constantly hear about all the negatives athletes do. Such things have ranged from Mike Vick's dog fighting business, Plaxico shooting himself, Starbury filming himself doing weird things, Stallworth's 26 days in jail for manslaughter while intoxicated, etc. I could go on for a long time and list the many negative stories that are portrayed constantly about athletes. So today, I'm taking some time to highlight a hero. Yes, a high school senior, that is the #19 best defensive end in the nation and #8 overall prospect in the state of Mississippi, Kaleb Eulls put his life on the line to save 22 other high school and younger students on a bus.

It was a routine Tuesday morning for the kids in western Mississippi heading to school. Until a fellow student, stepped on the bus with a .380 semi-automatic handgun and started threatening students on the bus. The 6'4 255 lbs Eulls became the hero that day, as he did what many of us would never think of doing. Eulls, tried to reason with the armed student and eventually just took the gun away without any concern for his well being. To read the complete story please click here, and for at least one day let's remember that not all athletes are selfish.
