      Greg Oden turns 21 and no one cares

      January 27, 2009 /

      Greg Oden turned 21 this past week and still doesn’t get carded.

      So the next day i went to a resteraunt [sic] and sat in the bar and they carded all my friends except me, even when i went to a club they didnt card me at all. Its just seems different to me cause i feel like one of the best things about being 21 is when the people who works at a place dont think your 21 you get to whip out your i.d. and shove it back in there face. Ill never get that chance cause everybody already thinks im 50.

      Good to see Oden has a sense of humor about how old he looks.

      Top 10 Sports Fight Songs

      January 26, 2009 /

      The Love of Sports ranked the top 10 sports fight songs:

      3. “Brass Bonanza” – Hartford Whalers
      This amazing tune was the fight song of the Hartford Whalers hockey team, now known as the Carolina Hurricanes, of course. It’s part elevator music, part cheesy sports movie soundtrack, part magic. Hard to imagine why anybody in Hartford would ever let the team leave Connecticut.

      2. Miami Dolphins Fight Song
      It’s surprising that anybody talks about the Miami Dolphins’ fight song anymore, because the banjo-laden and grammatically incorrect tune certainly takes listeners back to an earlier era. However, the upbeat tempo and positivity that oozes from the fight song makes it hard to resist.

      1. “When The Saints Come Marching In” – New Orleans Saints
      Though the song isn’t used exclusively by the Saints, it’s often associated with the team (like in that MasterCard commercial last year!). In actuality, the team was named after the song. Once covered by Louis Armstrong, the song isn’t just a part of football culture, but of American culture as well. Much like Peyton Manning, who’s transformed himself from an NFL quarterback to a television commercial superstar. But I digress.

      The Whalers’ jam sounds like an 80s sitcom theme song or something. It makes you want to bounce your head.

      Could you imagine some of the theme songs for teams now? All of the songs on TLOS’s top 10 list are all light and fun. If teams had their own theme songs nowadays it would probably be about ho’s, intravenous drug use and detailed ways to literally kill the other team.

      Legendary NBA rookie prank

      January 19, 2009 /

      Chris Tomasson of the Rocky Mountain News wrote a story about memorable NBA pranks. Here’s an excerpt:

      In 2004-05, actress Lucy Liu was sitting in the front row at the Staples Center and Lakers rookie Tony Bobbitt fibbed to teammates that he knew Liu and she was looking his way.

      Lakers veterans, spearheaded by Vlade Divac and [Devean] George, sprang into action. They had a ballboy bring a note to Bobbitt with a cell phone number that was said to be Liu’s but really was Divac’s.

      A female Lakers employee recorded an outgoing message on Divac’s phone. It wasn’t long before Bobbitt was leaving voice and text messages for Liu.

      Lakers players howled with laughter while reading Bobbitt’s attempts at poetry. Messages were sent back that Bobbitt thought were from Liu.

      “The whole team got involved,” George said. “He said he went on a date with her, and we knew he didn’t because it was Vlade’s phone he was calling and texting.”

      Soon, the veterans moved in for the kill. They sent a limousine to take Bobbitt to a restaurant, with Bobbitt thinking it had been sent by Liu for a meeting.

      Hidden cameras recorded the entire episode. But while Bobbitt waited at a table with a bottle of champagne for his dream girl, Lakers teammates instead arrived.

      “We jumped out, and he said, ‘She’s coming,’ ” George said. “We said, ‘Quit lying.’ It started as a small prank and grew since he had kept lying for three or four weeks. We got the whole thing on DVDs. When guys on other teams came through, they’d say, ‘You got one of those DVDs?’ We called it ‘Bobbitt Gone Wild.’ ”

      As it turned out, that was all Bobbitt was known for in his NBA career. He was waived in November 2004 after playing just two games and never was seen again.

      That’s classic.

      Andy Reid needs to go on “The Biggest Loser”

      January 17, 2009 /

      Folks, you won’t find a more blue-blooded New York Giants’ fan than me. Which means that I hate the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys with a venom that only fellow sports fans can appreciate. But I’m also human. I have a family and take healthy living seriously. Well, for the most part…I love bacon and ice-cream as much as anyone. But I want to make the observation that Eagles’ coach Andy Reid also loves Cheez Whiz, as he mentioned in an interview on ESPN last weekend when discussing the beards he and his team have been growing during the team’s last few games and postseason run. Dude actually said the worst thing about his beard was getting Cheez Whiz caught in it. Have you seen coach Reid lately? Dude is an inflated version of his former self, and I fear for the guy’s life because being that large is unhealthy to begin with. But when you throw in the fact that he is a football coach and probably works 20 hours a day during the season, sleeps little, doesn’t work out and eats really, really bad food, it’s the formula for a heart attack, diabetes and a whole host of other problems.

      No, I’m not a doctor, but I have high cholesterol and know a thing or two about how to live a healthy lifestyle. I also write a blog about NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” for Premium Hollywood, so I follow how folks like Erik a few seasons ago can lose like 200 pounds and win, and gain back years of their life. And Reid, lately especially, appears to be as large as some of the contestants on that show. The fact that he made the Cheez Whiz comment is all the proof we need without being a fly on his office wall.

      Add to this the fact that Reid has dealt with family problems the last 12 months, and his heart attack risk has to be even more prominent. Andy, I know you coach for a team I hate, but as a football fan and someone who cares about the well-being of other humans, I implore you……after the season ends, go on a diet, exercise, and make the time to apply to be on “The Biggest Loser.” Oh, and stop beating up my team in big games!

      Gator fan pays tribute to her team the only way she knows how — on the pole

      January 14, 2009 /

      This video is bizarre and (sort of) sports related, so I had to post it. Apparently, this woman is a big fan of the Florida Gators, and in order to pay tribute to their national championship victory, she donned a blue and orange bikini and hit the pole.

      One observation — and let’s assume that this woman is a student at UF. Imagine that you’re her dad, and you and your wife pay a surprise visit to her off-campus apartment. And when you walk in, there’s a flipping POLE IN THE LIVING ROOM. Would you shoot yourself in the head immediately or wait until you got home?
