New Sport: Mountain Unicycling

This guy goes by the name of the Unigeezer and he is a 50+ year old mountain/off road unicycler. He does things on one wheel that most people wouldnt try to do with two. Dont get him confused with the Uniballer or the Unibomber though…they are totally different people. Well, we know for certain about the Unibomber thing, the Uniballer thing i guess is up in the air. Those seats cant be good for the jewels.


It’s hard to feel sorry for El Hadji Diouf. The Blackburn striker and serial spitter is in trouble again but this time, it’s racialist. He’s being investigated by the police and FA after allegations surfaced that he racially abused a ball boy during a match against Everton. It’s alleged that he said, “Fuck off, white boy” because the kid didn’t give him a ball fast enough.

Diouf denies the allegations and claims that Everton supporters threw bananas at him. That’s a massive charge as it brings up memories of John Barnes’ struggles in the 80s as one of the first black players in the league. He faced a barrage of racial abuse which including having bananas thrown at him.

Speaking to Radio Monte Carlo, Diouf said: “The ball went out and I wanted to take the throw in quickly.

“The ball-boy threw the ball at me like a bone to a dog.

“The assistant referee told me he saw it but we had to continue and we would look at it at half-time.

“What’s more people threw bananas at me. The fourth official said he would make a report to the police.

“I didn’t say anything so that people couldn’t say ‘It’s El Hadji Diouf again’.

The Everton brass are furious with Diouf’s statements. No banana-related evidence was found where Diouf claimed he was attacked and no evidence of banana tossing was picked up by TV cameras or photographers. Obviously Everton should face serious sanctions should his claims be proven. However that appears unlikely. It seems more likely that it’s El Hadji Diouf again. If we’re wrong, we’ll apologize.

This isn’t the first time Diouf has been the center of controversy. He’s well known for spitting on fans and opposing players in addition to being an all-around jackass. Abusing a ball boy for being slow to return a ball is way out of line. It’s almost part of the game. There has only been one documented case where verbally or physically beating a ball boy has been acceptable.

No questions asked.

Lionel Messi Is Probably Better Than You

Five goals in three league games. Barcelona’s Lionel Messi is off to a slow start in La Liga. Check out his goal against Racing Santander on Tuesday night.


Hasn’t Byron Russell had enough? Michael Jordan already took his heart during Game 6 of the 1998 NBA Finals. Does he want to give up a kidney along with his dignity? He could get $10,000 from a Mumbai alley clinic and keep his dignity. Well, probably not.

Russell didn’t take too kindly to being called out by Michael Jordan during his Hall of Fame acceptance speech.

“I’ll play his ass right now,” former Jazz player Bryon Russell told Yahoo! Sports. “This is a call-out for him to come play me. He can come out here in his private jet and come play. He’s got millions of dollars. He can pay for the jet. He can meet me at the Recreation Center in Calabasas (Calif.).”

Russell may get his wish if he and Jordan accept Utah Flash owner Brandt Anderson’s offer to donate $100,000 to a charity of the winner’s choice if they play a game of 21. What could be better than getting schooled in the same place you got schooled 11 years ago? They could make it a 1998 Finals class reunion. Someone call Greg Foster out from behind the counter at Joseph Smith’s Rice Cakes and Skim Milk! Scottie Pippen can take his place. He needs the money. Hopefully Troy Hudson can take some time off from Nutty Boyz Entertainment to come out for the weekend.

It ain’t easy going brass in the record business. Selling 78 T-Hud albums out the trunk is hard work.

This idea could start a trend of goats attempting to get revenge for past wrongs. Craig Ehlo and Frederic Weis must be itching for a chance to repair their reputations after getting posterized. I’m still waiting for my rematch against Oliver Miller. No fucking way he can eat more Shetland ponies than me this time!

Normally we’d have some sympathy for someone in Jens Lehmann’s position but he’s one of the biggest jackasses in European soccer.
