I know I’m late with this one, but I had a busy weekend… I wanted to honor George Carlin in the only way I know how…. posting a hilarious sports related clip.
This bit on Baseball vs. Football is hilarious…. R.I.P. George…
This picture from the premiere party for Madden 2009 features ex-cover boys for the popular video game (minus Michael Vick, because he’s sorta busy right now).
Daunte Culpepper is freaking HUGE.
Look how big Daunte is compared to Ray Lewis, who will go down as one of the most fearsome linebackers to ever play the game. Daunte looks like he ties Ray’s shoes before he leaves the house every morning. Quarterbacks just arent’ supposed to be that damned big, it’s amazing he doesn’t have a job (yeah yeah I know, quarterbacking isn’t about how big you are).
Maybe Jacksonville will give him a job.
This story is beginning to turn into something completely different than originally intended. The little YouTube video of Shaq dissing Kobe has gone completely viral and swept the web and sports world by storm.
TMZ cameras caught up with rapper Nas coming out of a restaurant with his wife Kelis, he went hard for team Shaq.
“Shaq is my man, f*ck Kobe,” he said. “Shaq is my man, big up to Shaq.”
Hip Hop fans may remember that this isn’t Nas’ first time dissing Kobe Bryant. On his old album “Street’s Disciple” Nas had a song called “These Our Are Heroes (Coon Picnic)” where he had HARSH words for Kobe. He layed into Bryant for ratting out to the police and cheating on his wife with a hotel clerk.. here are sample lyrics from the song and a stream of the track below (he talks about Kobe in the first verse)
Uh, Massa used to breed us to be bigger to go play
Athletes of today in the NBA, make me proud
But there’s somethin’ they don’t say
Keep gettin’ accused for abusin’ White pussay
From OJ to Kobe, uh let’s call him Tobe
First he played his life cool just like Michael
Now he rock ice too just like I do
Yo, you can’t do better than that?
The hotel clerk who adjusts the bathroom mat?
Now you lose sponsorships that you thought had your back
Yeah, you beat the rap jiggaboo, fake nigga you
You turn around then you shit on Shaq
First of all, I apologize for the lack of updates this weekend, I went on a little trip an Stank-O is focusing on school now. But Sportaphile is back full strength now.
The VERY first piece of news I see is Shaq’s HILARIOUS freestyle dissing Kobe Bryant. Things like this is why Shaq is one of the most lovable athletes in the last 50 years. He’s downplaying the freestyle now, and I believe him. There may be a little competitive “one upsmanship” but I doubt theres serious dislike.
“I was freestyling. That’s all. It was all done in fun. Nothing serious whatsoever,” O’Neal told ESPN.com Monday. “That is what MC’s do. They freestyle when called upon. I’m totally cool with Kobe. No issue at all.”
The NBA season is over and gone.
Garnett and Kobe have left the public eye to go enjoy their lives and they’ve taken every ounce of excitement with them. This little odd period between mid-june and the beginning of September is downright brutal. No NFL games to watch… no NBA games to watch… we’re left with Major League Baseball, golf (with no Tiger Woods since he’s injured), and Tennis.
Slim pickins indeed.
Theres a dim light at the end of the tunnel in the form of the Beijing Olympics, but who knows how that’s going to turn out. They don’t start until the first week of August, so we’re gonna trudge along for the next six weeks or so and HOPE something truly interesting happens to hold us over.
