Golfing accuracy

I'm a terrible golfer, I know I know that's shocking to some of you. But, if you think you are good, watch what this girl does and then re-analyze your skills. It doesn't hurt that she's pretty hot too....

Press Conference Remix....

Tennis video....

I know you are shocked right now, because I have posted some tennis news. It's not really news, it's just a video. This is perhaps the greatest display of athleticism I have seen in one single tennis rally. I don't know this dude's name, but he caught my attention. Check out the video and leave your comments.

Random Notes and Thoughts....

Monday afternoons are boring...I enjoy hanging out with my friends...There's a difference between friends and acquaintances, don't get it twisted, just cuz I give you a head nod it doesn't mean we are friends...Damm I got another wedding to attend next year, congrats to Nick and Lauren...Weddings are cool, but at the same time they aren't that cool...Of all the weddings I have attended none of the married people have been divorced, so I think I'm the lucky charm....I know people that have been married and divorced already, but they didn't invite me to their wedding so that's why it didn't work out...Umpiring in Sac is way better than umpiring in Fresno...There's a particular girl that plays softball that I think is absolutely sexy as hell...Girls are mysterious, they never let you know what you want to know, but damm we always try to figure out their motives...What's harder to figure out the DaVinci Code or Girls?...I had too much fun in Carson City, well that's what I was told, I'm not sure I remember the fun parts...Hangovers are terrible...I play softball more than you think...Don't question why I do some of the things I do, the bottom line is I do them, so accept them or get over them...I'm not a dick, OK perhaps I am, but I'm brutally honest thus people thinking I'm a dick...My confidence gets confused for cockiness, I'm sorry you're insecure and lack the swag I got...Lil' Wayne still sucks...If you are not over someone don't start liking someone else, that's just f*cked up to both people...Just because you got the looks doesn't give you the right to act retarded...I always wonder if people want to be idiots their whole lives or they just can't control that part of their life...Again, let me reiterate, I don't give a f*ck what you think about me...I'm who I am because of me, not because of what you may or may not think of me...I'm not fast...Some people say I'm tall, I'm only 6'1 and I don't think that's tall...I'm getting back in the weight room...No, I'm not working out because it's "Lake Season" I'm doing it, because I'm finally back to 100% healthy...Damm sports injuries take a toll, who knew all those previous injuries would catch up to me all of a sudden...People have thought I was white, people have also thought I was Mexican...I guess my ethnicity will never be guessed right away...The Lakers and Magic are squaring off in the NBA Finals...LeBron James couldn't make the NBA happy by leading his team to the finals, where he would of squared off against Kobe...I guess all those Kobe-LeBron Nike puppet commercials weren't foreshadowing anything...Oh well, it's the "Black Mamba" against "Superman" now, and I'm hoping to attend at least one game...Kids stay in school, don't do drugs, have safe sex, and drink but never drive...

Real or Fake?

To all you tennis fans out there in the world, now I see why you are a fan. OK, seriously are they real or fake? I mean let's think about this for a minute, we have never seen a tennis player with a set of +2s like these. Obviously she's not in the same level as the Williams sisters or the other females that are good at tennis. But, this chick is worth watching run around, I mean come on guys tell me you don't want to see her run from baseline to baseline. If you are interested in her name it's Simona Halep and she's from Romania, go figure another female tennis player not from America. OK perverts, she's only 17 so quit googling her, and she's going to have breast reduction surgery.

Day after B-Day

For the first time since my 18th birthday, I woke up the day after my b-day without a hangover. My 27th birthday was yesterday, and I didn't consume one alcoholic beverage at all. It's pretty much an impressive feat, considering the last 8 birthdays have included a lot of alcohol and many blurry memories. Why didn't I drink you ask? Well it was a Wednesday, and I'm just getting old I guess. I've grown up a bit and matured (so I tell myself). In conclusion, I'm sure this weekend in Carson City/Reno might include a few adult beverages. The important thing is the Dodgers won on my b-day defeating the Mets 2-1.

Extra Credit:

Tonight the Lakers square off in Game 2 against Denver. Phil Jackson is 42-0 in playoff series when he wins the first game. That's a good sign for us Laker fans.

The Cavs are down 1-0. Let's see how the Cavs handle a little adversity. The difference between 'Bron Bron and Kobe was seen yesterday. With time running out at the game and down one, there's no way Kobe isn't taking the last shot. LBJ instead dished it out to D. West who missed a three. I'm sorry but at the end of the game I want my best player shooting the rock, and LBJ doesn't have that mentality YET...Kobe would of took the shot.

Jake Peavy is on the verge of being raded to the White Sox, but he must first waive his no trade clause. I wouldn't waive sh*t, leave the beaches and babes of San Diego to hang out in South Side Chi-Town, nah I'm good. I'll stay and continue losing and getting paid.

Kris Allen wins American Idol over the Adam Lambert, I guess America doesn't like dudes rocking nail polish and mascara. I didn't vote, but if I did, I would of voted for Kris. Go ahead, judge me.

Mike Vick is finally home, but on home arrest for two months. Will the NFL reinstated Vick? Who knows, but let's hope he's truly remorseful.

Stay in school kids, and do your homework. I'm out of here.

Conference Finals time

Let me welcome all the loyal Laker haters to my blog. I hope you enjoyed the Conference Semis, because I enjoyed listening to all of you non-sports knowledge having jabronis, talk about how the Lakers were going to lose Game 7. Did you not know the game was in LA? Did you not know that Kobe is nicknamed the "Black Mamba" for a reason. Yes, I know, Kobe didn't put up huge numbers. But, it's apparent he didn't have to, because the Rockets were mentally defeated as soon as they landed in LAX. Now, the same haters, keep telling me the Lakers will not beat the Nuggets. That's cool, and kind of believable because they are playing good ball. But, never bet against Kobe. Hell, never bet against Phil Jackson, dude's got ten rings. Trust me I know, he coached the greatest baller ever, Michael Jordan, but still he's got ten rings. The 'Zen Master' will have his troops ready come tomorrow night. I did my own little bulletin board material research to show you why Kobe will have a little extra fire against these Nuggets. Remember last year when Kobe went for 49 against Denver? After that game J.R. Smith made some asinine comments about Kobe, and don't get me wrong I'm a huge J.R. Smith fan (he was suppose to be a Tar Heel, but decided to go to NBA right out of high school). But do you really want to anger the guy that's "Doing Work." Here's an excerpt of what J.R. Smith said below:

"There’s no need to get all crazy about it," said Nuggets guard J.R. Smith. "Every once in a while some nobody gets a hot hand and score’s a lot of points. No need to panic. Sun shines on a dog’s ass every once in a while. I’m sure that sooner or later he’ll come back to earth. He’ll be back in the D-League before you know it."

You guys can make your own conclusions to his statements. I just don't understand the whole, he'll be back in the D-League before you know it. To read the article that breaks down Smith's statements click here. And let's not forget that the Lakers still have home-court advantage. As long as we can keep Kobe away from those hotel beezys, I'm taking the Lakers in 6.

Extra Credit: I expect the Magic to give the Cavs a run for their money. I know the NBA wants nothing more than a Cavs-Lakers matchup, but the Magic can give them fits. With that said, can anyone really bet against 'Bron 'Bron. I only bet against 'Bron Bron when he's facing "Black Mamba." Shout out to Skip to My Lou aka Rafer Alston, Fresno's State's very own, for being an integral part of the Magic's run to the Conference Finals.

Hmmm....

Just watch this video, because really I'm still shocked this happened. I'm literally still laughing. I've been around baseball for 26 years (my entire life) and have never seen this, not even in little league or high school. HAHA, at least now Lance Odom (pitcher) is famous.

Cassie & Rihanna Naked Pictures

I'm a guy and when I hear of a celebrity having naked pictures leaked, guess what I'm going to check them out. So with the recent news that Cassie and Rihanna have exposed their goodies. I did what any other guy would do, and that was check them out. I can't say I'm disappointed in both young celebrities. What was shocking was discovering that both Cassie and Rihanna are into nipple rings. That's pretty hot. After viewing the pics, I can see why Diddy or P. Diddy (whatever it is this week) keeps Cassie around. On the same note, I reiterate what I said earlier about Chris Brown; he's an idiot. The funny part about this is Cassie's reaction when she found out about the leak...she posted this on her twitter account:

"That’s real foul and evil. Now stop acting like you haven’t seen a titty before."

In case you haven't, below are the links for you guys that want to view these beauties at their best...or in a way us normal guys will never get to see them.

Kobe vs. Bron Bron

The Cleveland Cavs are cruising in the playoffs and they are led by no other than Bron Bron James. The guy is pretty good, kind of reminds me of my days in high school, oh wait I didn't play basketball. The Lakers are in a tough series with the Houston Rockets minus Yao Ming and T-Mac. I know usually, teams aren't as good, when their two best players are out of the lineup. Shane Battier looked like Reggie Miller from the three point line yesterday. Right now you are wondering, what's your point? Well take a look at the video below, and tell me the NBA is not praying for the Black Mamba to face The King in the NBA Finals. We are in a recession. The NBA needs the Lakers and Cavs to square off in the finals, so the ratings can be through the roof. The King was this year's MVP, the Black Mamba was last year's MVP. They are without a doubt the two best players in the league (the argument is who is one and who is two). In conclusion, it's time to buckle down Lakers, because the City of Angels is going through a tough time with this Manny thing, so please don't let me down. Let's win a championship...Check out the video below, it's funny and for some reason I started thinking of the movie "Scarface," as this Nike Commercial keeps going.

Eminem's Samba freestyle

The lyrical genius Eminem, has been in Germany promoting his soon to be released album, Relapse. While on a German TV show, the host put Eminem on the spot and asked him to freestyle to a samba beat. You have to check out this video, and I guarantee you laugh. Those darn German's are pretty funny.




If you want to check out the interview of Eminem, check it out here. Em discusses the difficulty he had with drugs and how he's over a year sober now, and also the reason why he loves Germany among other things. Check out interview below.

Erectile Dysfunction???

I love the Dodgers. So needless to say, that today has been a tough day for yours truly. The emotional leader as well as the guy that keeps the clubhouse loose has been suspended for 50 games for violating MLB's banned substance program. Manny Ramirez is the new superstar to be under the microscope after failing the drug test. The first thing that comes to mind to fans is steroids and HGH. However, Manny denies ever using steroids, and instead says he took a medication prescribed to him by his doctor. You can read the stories on ESPN and yahoo by clicking here and here. It is being reported now that the drug that Manny Ramirez apparently took was a fertility drug. Apparently, baseball is opposed to guys being fertile if they have a medical condition. I don't want to be naive, because I'm a huge Dodgers fan, but something tells me Manny may be telling the truth. Who knows? No one, and the problem is that no one will ever know the truth besides Man-Ram. Needless to say, this baseball fan and Dodgers fan is absolutely embarrassed and disappointed in this revelation. Man-Ram will now always be lumped together with other high-profile cheaters such as: Jose Canseco, Mark McGwire, Barry Bonds, Alex Rodriguez, Roger Clemens, Rafael Palmeiro and Andy Pettitte. Well kids quit drinking Mountain Dew and when you are 36-years-old you won't need to take erectile dysfunction medication. Hopefully the Dodgers can stay in first place until Man-Ram returns to Mannywood.

Relapse is getting closer...

The much anticipate album from Eminem titled Relapse is closer to its release date of May 19th. A new song from the album has been officially released to iTunes. The title of the song is "Old Times Sake" featuring Dr. Dre. I'm liking the new joint and am excited for the release of Relapse. Next Tuesday, Em will release yet another song to iTunes, this one will be titled "Beautiful." Listen to the new song below (there's no video for song yet but you can listen to it) and leave your comments...

Patriots Cheerleaders

It's no secret that Tom Brady can basically sleep with any girl he wants. I mean, his wife, Gisele Bundchen, is well kind of hot. Then there's his ex and baby momma, Bridget Moynahan, who is also hot. So it's safe to say that these Patriots cheerleaders may just not be hot enough for Mr. Brady. But, they are hot enough for me and well this is my blog. To see more pictures of these bikini wearing hotties click here.

Below is a picture of Tom Brady's wife, yes I know guys she's hot, but she's still no Megan Fox.
