Matt Bellamy, the guy that thought it was a good idea to rock his LeBron James Miami Heat jersey to a Cleveland Indians game at Progressive Field, is talking about his night of infamy. He spoke with Cleveland Frowns before and after being escorted from Progressive and 19 Action News in Ohio tracked him down for an interview. Bellamy, who’s originally from Florida, has all three versions of the LeBron James Miami Heat jersey. I wonder which one he wants to be buried in… Continue Reading

The headline says it all. Shawn Marion of the Dallas Mavericks took a picture with actress Charlize Theron. Then he posted it to his Twitter account. There’s no explanation of where the two are or what they were doing but the picture shows Charlize is taller than I thought. She’s listed at anywhere between 5-9 and 5-11 and in heels (presumably) isn’t much shorter than the 6-7 Marion. Continue Reading

Amar’e Stoudemire lit up the Internet yesterday when he said he was “the new Reggie White” and “I’m going 2 Israel 2 study Hebrew. It’s time 2 get a better understanding on who we R.” Call me skeptical but I thought Stoudemire was trying to suck up to the world’s largest Jewish community outside of Israel. What better way to show a new fan base that you’re just like them than to embrace their culture. Next we’ll see David Lee on a bus in East Oakland claiming he’s black (Which I don’t recommend unless he’s rolling with EBM). Amar’e used @Amareisreal earlier today to straighten out why he’s in Israel and what he’s studying. Good for him, whatever his intentions are. Continue Reading

Haiku is an unrhymed, syllabic form adapted from the Japanese: three lines of five, seven and five syllables. Because it is so brief, a haiku is necessarily imagistic, concrete and pithy, capturing a single moment in a very few words. I believe this is adaptable to the world of sports because the most mesmerizing of moments seem to happen in the briefest of seconds. These three short lines have the potential to define a game, player, or sport as much as any single unforgettable play.

Haiku: Continue Reading

The absence of stars Wayne Rooney and Rio Ferdinand hardly mattered for Manchester United Wednesday. The Premier League powerhouse defeated the MLS All-Stars 5-2 in front of a record-breaking crowd of 70,728 at Reliant Stadium in Houston.

Eighteen-year-old Federico Macheda opened the scoring for Man U in the first minute, intercepting a pass in the MLS back field and slipping an easy shot past goalkeeper Donovan Ricketts. It was all downhill from there for Team MLS. Continue Reading

Daniel Tosh has become Comedy Central’s top-rated show host by adding hilarious, slightly racist and completely insensitive comments to Internet videos on his show Tosh.0. If you belong to a group -race, creed, ethnicity, team, state, country, etc.- Tosh has clowned you. And for that, he’s hated.

On his latest show, Tosh wanted to find out who Twitter hates more: @danieltosh or @kingjames? There’s no question who the winner (loser??) would be if all the tweets came from Cleveland. They want nothing to do with anything associated with James. But Daniel read tweets from everywhere and got more NSFW hate than LeBron. Continue Reading

Before he got to the game between the New York Yankees and Cleveland Indians at Progressive Field Wednesday, the guy in the LeBron James Miami Heat jersey was probably feeling pretty good about himself. Saying things to his girlfriend like “This is gonna be great” and “I can’t wait to see their faces.” Moron. All he got was harassed out of the stadium and showered with asshole calls wherever he went. Good thing his lady didn’t wear the Art Modell costume he bought her. Continue Reading

Dwyane Wade joined Jay Leno on the Tonight Show last week and let Jay talk him into performing a little of a rap he wrote as a child. Bad move. Wade’s rhymes immediately landed him on the “Worst Athlete Rappers” list even if he was eight when he penned “We was making all the baskets, yeah cuttin’ smooth, shootin’ the three, yeah we was in the groove.” D-Wade did another version of his rap and the result was just as bad ,so J Drumz Productions stepped in to bail out Wade. They remixed B-Ball Express (Fresh on the Court) and gave Wade a Schoolly D feel. Continue Reading

Few people would argue that former MLB pitcher Curt Schilling was a gamer. The guy’s fierce and sometimes angry competitiveness was well documented throughout his career; for many the most indelible memory of Schilling will always be his “bloody sock” performance in Game 6 of the 2004 ALCS. But what many people don’t know is that Schilling is also a major gamer of another type. The live-in-your-mother’s-basement-playing-video-games-and-get-no-ass-type, to be exact. That’s right, the pitcher who struck fear into the hearts of batters everywhere is a self-admitted video gaming freak. Being the computer-smashing competitor that he is, it’s hard to imagine how Schilling treats his controllers after a bad outing. But he’s such a competitor that Continue Reading

Athletes have always flirted with other forms of entertainment, especially music and it usually results in terrible attacks on our ears. The NBA has the highest percentage of wannabe artists, so I wasn’t surprised when I heard former Los Angeles Laker Kareem Rush was trying music out. What did surprise me though, was the genre he chose; R & B.

I fully expected him to go the predictable macho, thugged out route and boy did he stray from that. His new single “Promises (Hold You Down)” is a full on R & B ode to the ladies. He filmed a video for the song and it doesn’t appear to be any low-budget production. Continue Reading
