We’ve been terribly remiss in not discussing the Tottenham brawl the night after their Carling Cup win over Chelsea last Sunday.
Captain Ledley King was tossed out of a club called Faces after being too faced to stand. Instead of leaving quietly, he decided to start a fight outside the club and the Daily Mail has pictoral goodness.
Ledley’s in white with his back to the camera.
King attempted to fight his way back into the club by taking on several bouncers until he was restrained.
Several other Spurs players were at the club including Jermaine Jenas (seen below) and Aaron Lennon with his idiotic, matching eyebrow/hair parts.
Nothing says winner like dressing like a 14 year old kid who should be selling candy on the F train for a fictional basketball team trip to the Central African Republic. The funny thing is that Jenas would probably play just as well in his drunken condition as he would sober. Most of the other Spurs players at the club managed to hold it together and float the buoy.
The paper also reports that WAG Danielle Lloyd and David Beckham’s sister Joanne got into it as well. Unfortunately their confrontation only consisted of a “heated argument”. Witnesses said that the two were arguing about whether the Copenhagen interpretation is still worthy and whether stuff is really better than things.
The Baltimore Sun’s Roch Kubatko reports that “there will be an open tryout March 8 at noon at Oriole Park for people 18 and older who want to be a ballboy or ballgirl this season”.
I pray this isn’t a typo. I just want Benny from the mailroom to finally live out his dream of being pegged by an Adam Loewen pickoff throw.
Yea, Kevin Bacon here is obviously thrilled to be at a Knicks game and he’s almost even more thrilled that he’s being interviewed during halftime of what was surely a boring as sin game. So here he is, and all he wants to do is…DANCE!
Patriots running back Kevin Faulk was issued a misdemeanor summons, not arrested, last friday for possession of 4 marijuana cigarettes in his pocket when he was searched going into the suites of the Lafayette Cajundome for a Lil Wayne concert. I hear ya Kev, if i was going to a Lil’ Wayne show i’d sure want to be as blitzed out of my mind while sitting there, but son, you gotta protect your stash a little better than that! There are about a million ways to hide that herb man, how on earth are you gonna allow yourself to get caught?
Didn’t you see everyone getting searched before you in line? Why didn’t you get out of line and hide that shit in your shoe or something at the least?? They wont make you take your damn shoes off there, this isnt the TSA! Better yet, why the hell didn’t you just smoke up before hand, then go backstage in the middle of the show and smoke up with his crew? You know he was carrying back there, he’s Lil’ Damn Wayne and you’re a Patriots running back! People…learn from this lesson, don’t be like Kevin Faulk, learn to smoke right if you must smoke at all.
The geeks over at the University Of Freiburg in Germany have created the ultimate Foosball opponent, a machine. Sorta like the Deep Blue of Foosball, the KiRo is constructed of several motors attached to the foosball table rods which are connected to the electronic control system and guided by a camera that continually scans the table surface for ball movement and player position and movement. The computer follows the ball’s movement and speed and choses the best possible move based upon the speed, trajectory and position of all the foosball guys in the ball’s path.
At this moment the machine has won 85% of its games against casual players, but the nerds at the school are hoping to get that up high enough to bring it on against pro foosball players. Now that I have to see, not the robot against pros, but pro foosball players actually playing foosball.
Here in America, we have our own challenger already for the KiRo and thats the Foosbot by the American geeks at Illinois University -Urbana-Champaign. They claim their machine is completely undefeated, although I doubt that from watching the machine work. Want to watch the devastation that is the foosbot? I thought so, check it below, and turn down the volume unless you wanna hear a crappy nu metal soundtrack:
Johnny Bench is being honored on a limited edition bottle of Makers Mark at Kentucky’s Turfway Park. 3000 of these bottles have been made to commemorate their Lanes End Stakes. The booze will go on sale March 14th and proceeds benefit the Cincinnati Reds Hall of Fame and Museum and the Johnny Bench Scholarship Fund.
This should totally be a trend. I want more players to be on bottles of hooch for me to buy. Give me a Bret Boone bottle of Wild Turkey or the Bret Favre bottle of Sailor Jerry any day, i’ll pony up for that stuff. Boy, guys named Bret love the hooch don’t they?
Your boys may not be able to swim anymore but that’s cool. Norway’s got your back even after you blow up the outside world. Yeah that was weak but anything for a Soundgarden video.
