So junk artist Gabriel Dishaw loves his art and he loves his Nikes. So he decided to mix the two together to make some pretty sweet looking junk art replicas of some classic Nike kicks like the one above and below. Can you get a better name than Frankenstein Terminators inspired by the Nike High Terminators? Just badass. I can see Kanye West buying those sculptures and actually trying to wear them. Crave has the whole gallery up, check it out or just look at Dishaw’s photo gallery for a TON of picture awesomeness.

The “other” Chris Johnson, a defensive back on the Raiders, said yesterday that the Raiders could go 8-0 in the 2nd half of the NFL season and finish up the year at 10-6. Wow. There actually might be one person in Oakland that is more out of touch with reality than Al Davis, who would’ve thought that? Here’s the whole quote:

“If you really want to look at it, you can go 8-0 and you might end up 10-6,” Johnson said Wednesday. “There’s a possible way you can actually do it.”

NO! No it is not possible. Not even in the least. Why would you even say that there is a possible way you can actually do it when there is no way they can do it. No chance at all and you know it Chris. You know it and I know it and everyone in their right mind (ie: everyone but Al Davis) knows it. So why are you lying to us Chris? WHY YOU GOTTA LIE, MAN? YOU HURT BABIES WHEN YOU LIE CHRIS. BABIES CRY!

Why won’t the Raiders win every game in the 2nd half of the year? Good question kind reader, lets take a look at the Raiders upcoming schedule. In the next 8 weeks, their schedule includes a home game vs the Bengals, a road game at Pittsburgh, a road game at the Cowboys and a road game at the Denver Broncos. Last time I looked, all those teams are way better than the Raiders. You think they might lose maybe one of those games? I think everyone but Chris Johnson thinks they will.

You can’t blame Chris Johnson for being hopeful in the second half, but c’mon now son, you gotta be realistic too!

First Oasis breaks up and now this. Remember how down Marcus was when Jacqueline played him in Boomerang? The people of Manchester must feel the same way. Times are ill on the blue side of Manchester these days. Oasis breaks up, Man City’s playing like a mid-table team and now Ricky Hatton has been reduced to appearing as a WWE side show.

Bony T didn’t show Marcus any mercy and we don’t think he’d have any for Hatton either. On the plus side, it looks like retirement’s been good to Hatton. Pies and beers make the gentleman of leisure. No sexy beast here.

Speaking of Boomerang, start at 3:00. Bang bang bang!

Hey woman! Who didn’t love Mr. T in Rocky III? He was the bad guy but a small part of everyone except Italian tuxedo fans would have been fine if he beat Rocky in the second fight. His one liners and smooth seduction of Adrian ensured his place in movie history.

49ers tight end Vernon Davis must love him some Clubber Lang because he channeled him while talking about the 49ers’ upcoming game vs. the Bears.

“I think we can destroy their guys up front,” Davis said. “I don’t see anything spectacular about their front line. Their LB’s, I think we can handle them pretty well. I like [defensive end] Adewale Ogunluye, I think he’s performing well for them, but he’s the only guy I like in their line.”

There’s no ambiguity about Davis’ prediction for the fight. At least he plays for a team which will probably follow though unlike Nate Burleson. It’s one thing to hear trash from players like Joey Porter who never shut up. It’s another when opposing teams cut straight to the heart and speak the truth because they know there will be no consequences. That’s what happens when a team hires a coach named Lovie. They should stay away from Tiny Lister Jr. too. Deebo may be big but that don’t mean he can coach.

Humongous say no free kick!!

Well that settles that. The AFL has settled the argument over whether the Mad Max trilogy can be seen as a series of period pieces. It can.

An on-field dispute over the awarding of a free kick during an Aussie Rules match turned into a massive brawl involving hundreds of people. What’s special about that? That’s every day, right? Police showed up and were scared shartless when they found the brawl involved spears and axes. Who stabbed who in the what now? How the hell do fans roll to games? Aren’t there spear or ax checks at the gates? There were an estimated 500 people in the area when the cops rolled up. Unsurprisingly, no one was arrested but the investigation continues. That’s some good police work, Lou.
