THIS JUST IN: KEN GRIFFEY AND DONOVAN MCNABB TOGETHER, UNINJURED

by DCScrap, on 205th magazine

Somehow Donovan McNabb and Ken Griffey were both in the same stadium and neither one of them suffered a season-ending injury even though they were both partaking in athletic activity.

McNabb was in Cincinnati to take batting practice with the Reds. McNabb didn't look pretty and didn't get any out of the yard, but he did show a little pop in his bat.

GLORIA JAMES JOINS A SELECT GROUP

by Isaac, The World of Isaac

Gloria James is the talk of the town today. Every mom sitting at home today is wondering how the hell her son got away with swearing at her on National TV.

God knows my mom would have run on the court, took off her shoe and beat me over the head.

Then again, I'd never say anything like that to her, I mean, I am a blogger and I live in her basement afterall.

Anyways, let's look at a couple of more recognizable moms...

Wilma McNabb

Probably one of the most recognizable mom's in the history of Sports. Her Chunky Soup commercials alone make her a celebrity but her complaining on her own personal blog about the fans not treating Donovan right was classic.


Ann Iverson

Photobucket

She will always be remembered for the interview she did after her son supposedly beat up his girlfriend Tawana. Calling out reporters and telling them it was none of their business. On par with AI's "practice rant".


Kutilda Woods

Photobucket

I'm absolutely convinced that if she didn't wear those ridiculous hats, no one would have a clue who she is.


Cécilia Rhode

Photobucket

Maybe not as popular as she was a couple of years ago but her mug was plastered on TV for two straight Marches in a row. I'm not complaining or anything, I mean, she was a Swedish Model and is as hittable a MILF as you can find

STUPID SPORTS SH!T: PLAYOFF FOOTBALL EDITION

by Chris Richardson, Intentional Foul

Apparently, the freaks come out when playoff football is afoot. Be it overzealous fans (is there such a thing when a trip to the Super Bowl is on the line?) or players that don't know when to shut-up, there's always something that catches the eye... in a stupid shit sort of way.

And wouldn't you know it, we have a lot of fodder for today's post. From silly Boston-based New England fans to beating someone to death because of an argument that took place during the Packers/Seahawks game, we've got something for everyone.

But first, since I mentioned something about freaks coming out, I figured I'd let Whodini get you in the mood:



Are we ready?

Will You Please Shut The F**k Up
First up on today's list is San Diego Charger Igor Olshansky and his loud mouth. As you all know, the Bolts play the Patriots on Sunday in the AFC Championship Game and to celebrate the significance, Olshansky, a defensive end for the Chargers, decided to get the party started early by mouthing off about the undefeated Pats:





Quoting the Guinness guys again here when I say, "Brilliant!!!!" Did we not learn from the Anthony Smith and his Pittsburgh Steelers? Is it so wrong to let sleeping dogs lie and let your play on the field do all the talking for you? Apparently so. Way to go, Igor. I wonder if San Diego fans will throw you under the bus like they did Norv Turner when the season didn't start the way they expected.

Hat-tip to YB and j00fek for the find.

Patriots Fans Have Lots of Jerseys
The guys at Awful Announcing pointed this out after watching the Pats/Jags in the city of Boston. It's goes without saying that Bostonians are quite passionate for their sports teams and considering just how much this region has dominated the sports world as of late, it's easy to see why.

Here are some of the things the AA guys learned:
2. Every single Pats player has a jersey: It's beyond description how many different player names I saw out in the city. Here's the list as I can remember......Brady, Maroney, Moss, Welker, Matt Light, Vince Wilfork, Rodney Harrison, Bruschi, Vrabel, Kevin Faulk, Adalius Thomas, Colvin, Randall Gay, Ben Watson, and Ellis Hobbs

3. The Pats have a ton of Women Fans: I think this is more than likely due to Tom Brady, but every single girl in the city had some sort of Pats' garb on. My personal favorite was a blonde 20-something in a throwback Ted Johnson jersey.

4. Pats Fans cheer for everything: And when I say everything....I mean EVERYTHING. A negative four yard screen to Wes Welker.....WHOOOO! A four yard run on first down by Fred Taylor.....OH YEAH!
I find myself wanting a Kevin Faulk jersey and I'm not even a Patriots fan... Meaning somebody's gotta put a stop to this. Igor, are you down?

T.O. Gets Emotional Over Coors Light
As soon as the Cowboys/Giants game ended on Sunday, you just knew Philly fans everywhere were going to have fun with it and needless to say, The700Level did not disappoint. What we have here is a nifty little ditty of T.O.'s tearful post-game press conference, edited to look like a Coors Light commercial:





Do you think Donovan McNabb feels badly for Owens?

OK, I'm running low on time so I'll leave you one more link related to today's topic. Apparently, it's hazardous to your health to argue about match-ups between the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks. Apparently, some top-shelf youths (youts?) decided they didn't like it when an older bartender starts telling them what's what... especially about NFL Football.

After reading the article and looking at the accompanying images, I started to weep for our future.

OK folks, that's it for me today. I hope this post is a good primer for this weekend's games. I also hope the games provide some more fodder for this section... just not in the homicide category. Take care folks and I'll see you next week.

THE AFTER PARTY

Here's a unique twist on fantasy sports. Draft trouble makers like Michael Vick and Barry Bonds, then score points for their when they get in the news. (DirtLocker)

Another discussion of McNabb's comments concerning black QBs being scrutinized more than their white counterparts. Not enough people bring up the Limbaugh/Mondesire issues of yesteryear as they relate to this situation. (Man on a Rant)

I want to warn you, this is a sad story. It is an illustration of how much of a joke former heavyweight champion/boxing icon/and estranged wife kidnapper Riddick Bowe has become. (The Angry T)

Win a Mini Helmet Signed by Rick Ankiel! No, seriously. Oh yeah, and something about the MVP race. (I'm Writing Sports)

The latest Burly Sports Show is up and it's definitely one of best ones yet. (Burly Sports)

Optical illusions are awesome! (I Am Bored)

Throwing Knives: Someone Blowup The Hype Machine

by BD, Sports Show On Mute

It's finally Friday, which means a lot more to you folks out there than it does this guy. As I'll be working throughout the weekend as usual. But hey, next weekend will be different. So, while I look forward to that, why don't you take a look at Emma Griffiths and join me in a moment. (Remember, if you'd like to be apart of the weekend links, send submissions here.)

Will One of You Please Hit A Home Run!
Well Barry and Arod went homerless again last night. Yet, we're all forced to deal with the hype of 'did it happen' on the WWL when we stumble in, still drunk at 2 in the morning. Only to be as annoyed as we are disappointed that this shit is no closer to ending than it was yesterday. In the case of Barry, I know whats going on, but Arod? Is he really choking? Because Alex, #500 ain't shit compared to the ones were expecting you to hit chief. Why don't you get back to mashing, and your team get back to losing? Then we can all go about our lives happily again.

Oh, and Barry just sit out. Doing your best Lyle Overbay at the plate is just insulting. Sit out, and at least then your teammates can't bitch that you're not trying. Will you do that Barry? No? Well, alright then.

McNabb Supports Vick
Honestly I don't understand this. Why not just heave a bunch of "no comments" at reporters when they ask about Ookie? Do you really want to be the only guy on the bandwagon to Rikers? Not a wise move for a guy who's losing the confidence of those around him already. As much as I'd like to see "Ookie Jr." Eagles jerseys. I'm just not sure the NFL shop can handle the orders.

Andray Blatche Can't Get Laid On His Own

Blatche was arrested for sexual solicitation Thursday. This is another head scratcher for me. Even marginal NBA players like this guy should be kicking groupies out of their room at all hours of the night. I mean, hell the big goofy foreign guy in Eddie was getting laid. But, Andray Blatche can't? Maybe he was looking for a hooker with a little extra equipment? A Tranny who would keep it on the DL. It okay Andray, we understand your thirst for something 'different' every now and again. Well, no we don't. But, could you at least avoid the clink next time? Especially when the Wizards had already offered you a deal for well more than your worth. How about a little less time at the Ron Artest "How To Live Like An NBA Baller" seminars and a little more time with NBA Cares. At least more people will know who you are when they flash your name in the commercials, right?

Can The Phillies Catch A Break?
Kyle Lohse got hurt in the first inning, of the first game, he pitched in a Phillies uniform. Probably the best offensive team in the NL East doesn't have a shot as long as every pitcher on the roster is getting hurt. Not to mention Chase Utley and Shane Victorino have also hit the dreaded DL over the last week. This brings Phillies current DL stats to a stagger 9 players, nine! While Lohse is not one of them (yet), here they are for those interested: Utley, Victorino, Micheal Bourn, Francisco Rosario, Freddy Garcia, Jon Lieber, Ryan Madson, and Scott Mathieson. Quite an impressive list there, especially Garcia and Lieber who were supposed be a big part of their rotation this year. Those two, are on the 60 day DL and both likely out for the season. So, what are the Phillies to do? Why not let Jimmy Rollins pitch? He can't be any worse than most of the guys their running out there. And he seems to do everything else well. So, I'd imagine he's got a nasty slider up his sleeve.

Scoreboard - August 2nd - 2007
