WNBA Star's Drunk Drive

Seriously?? I expect it in the NFL/NBA/MLB, but the WNBA? In a story likely to turn heads, the last "pure" professional sports league has incurred its first legal black eye. Diana Tirausi, 3 time NCAA Champion, Olympic Gold Medalist, and point guard for the 2007 WNBA Champion Phoenix Mercury was arrested for a DUI outside of Phoenix on July 2. Not only was it a DUI, but under Arizona law it was deemed an "Extreme DUI" since it's over twice the legal limit. What's next, Cheryl Swoopes caught soliciting prostitution? Lisa Leslie getting arrested with 20 tons of cocaine? Rebecca Lobo accidentaly shooting herself in the leg with an unregistered handgun after it fell from her sweatpants' elastic waistband in a NYC nightclub? Who knows? All I do know is that the WNBA just got a shitload more interesting and will hopefully add a little street cred to the league known for it's fans who drive Subaru Outbacks while listening to Tori Amos.

O's Big Comeback

Last night the Baltimore Orioles completed the biggest comeback of the organizations history overcoming a 9 run deficit against the first place Red Sox to win 11-10. The Orioles scored 5 in the 7th and 5 more in the 8th to seal the deal. This is not only the biggest comeback the Orioles have had since the 1956 season but its also the largest deficit overcome by a last place team against a first place team EVA. As a hopeless Orioles fan this is about as big a story as we can hope to have this year, hence the blog.

Special thanks to S. Eff. B for the historical stats referenced...lalalalalala

Here is the box score and article if anyone reading this is also an Orioles fan or has some remote interest in baseball history.

Pittsburgh PA: The Epitome of Class

After Philippe Boucher scored what proved to be the game winning goal for the Penguins in last nights 3-2 victory over the Hurricanes in Eastern Conference Finals of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh PA erupted and celebrated the only way they know how: By flipping off the oppositions coach.

This has got to be one of the best moves a fan can do after scoring on the visiting team. The fan merely saying "Eff you, get out of my house!" which I feel is fully respectable and allowable thing to do. Great move.

Youth Sports + Mass Holes = this email

The coach of a girls 6-7 year old youth soccer team wanted to set the tone for the season from the get go. As such he decided to craft a ridiculously aggressive email message to the parents of "Team 7" aka "Green Death" in hopes the attitude would trickle down to the young girls. It seems his message was misunderstood, shocker, and he was forced to resign from his coveted youth sports coaching post.

Check out the hilarious email at the link below

Not Cool: Band Girls in Bikinis

During last nights thrilling coverage of the
VCU vs UCLA first round NCAA tournament game, the producers at CBS showed that they're nothing more than a couple of middle aged dirtbags. As underdog VCU closed the gap on Pac-10 powerhouse UCLA, and the pressure of the game intensified, the camera started to focus on 2 bikini clad VCU fans. For those of you not familiar with college sports, VCU stands for Virginia Commonwealth University, a school known more for its French Film Festivalthan its population of attractive co-eds. At first glance it appeared that that these girls were underage VCU superfans who made the trek to support their team. As time wore down it was revealed that these down country vixens were actually members of VCU's pep band. Either way, is it necessary to bombard us with uncomfotable bikini shots during a close college game? I'm all for gratuitous shots during games, but Jenn Sterger these girls are not. Not cool CBS, not cool.

It's a Walk Off: D-Wright Sends Puerto Rico Packing

Who says these games don't matter? In a thrilling 6-5 win over Puerto Rico, the US was able to avenge the team that Mercy-Ruled them 2 days earlier. With the bases juiced in the bottom of the ninth and The Prince of New York at the plate, David Wright hit a walk off flare down the right field line, scoring ad-hoc second baseman Brian Roberts, and arch enemy, yet surprisingly funny Jimmy Rollins.




The US will advance to face team Venezuela and flame throwing closing-prodigy Francisco "K-Rod" Rodriguez.

Last Nights Hockey Action: Caps Get Bitch Slapped...Twice

We normally don't comment on the worst sport in the world, but given our newfound throwdown with dchino.blogspot.com we felt it necessary to give you all an update on their third place team. In last nights action, the "Caps" may have won the game in OT but they got smoked in the fighting department. Usually the bad ass, Donald Brashear got knocked the EFF out by Predators winger Wade Belack's left hook in the 1st period. Not to be shown up, Jordan Tootoo of the Pred's quickly followed in his teammates footsteps by rearranging the Caps' Matt Bradley's face, leaving him bloodied and battered. Seriously, you got this roughed up by someone named Tootoo? Harden the eff up.
