Yeah, you read that right. Serena Williams just returned from Kenya, Africa where she was opening a second school for children. The school is named The Serena Williams Secondary school. Oprah can do things like this. She’s Oprah!!! Rainbows, candy, and unicorns follow her wherever she goes.
Serena Williams is not Oprah. Her horrendous display of sportsmanship, in my opinion, should never have been glorified by awarding her female athlete of the year. Way to be a role model for all those young female athletes of the world. So, maybe this is an attempt to repair her public image?
Or maybe not. After spending a whole three days in Kenya, she posted on twitter how happy she was to be returning home. Maybe that’s because she would rather be the student. Just days before leaving for Kenya, Serena enrolled herself in school to become a nail technician! Why? Well duh! She posted on her blog on Globalgrind.com that she totally gets a mani every 4 days and a pedi every 7. Wow, that’s a lot of nail polish. She’s dedicated to completing all 240 hours of the course to become certified. 3 days at 24 hours a day=a lot less than the time she will spend on her nails.
I salute the Brooklyn hipsters on the F train who spent a decent amount of time defacing the Venus Williams ad at the Smith street station. I only wish it was Serena in the photo. She deserves some defacing. Then again, maybe she spent enough time ruining her own public image.

Podcast of the Week: Well its possibly the best sports podcast out there our POTW is On The DL with Dan Levy. If you don’t listen to this daily, you are not a sports fan.
You read that right, the world has an ever so small chance to not have Carrot Top in it come Monday morning because this weekend he will be working in the pits of Mike Wallace’s Monster Diesel car in the Nationwide Series race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Mr. Top will be the honorary Crew Manager of the team and will be standing there holding the car’s #01 sign so Wallace knows where to pull into the pit.
So, a car that weighs over 3,000lbs, that can achieve top speeds of around 200 mph, will actually be aiming for Carrot Top every single time the driver, Mike Wallace, decides to pit…how ’bout that? Let me be very clear here, I am not wishing death upon anyone. What I am saying is that there certainly is a minuscule chance Carrot Top could get hit by a car this weekend, possibly hit very hard…with severe injuries…maybe even death…and there are some people out there that might be ok with that. I’m no statistician, but the odds are certainly there.
Here’s what Carrot Top had to say about this fantastic opportunity for him (and us):
“I can’t wait to get out to the speedway this weekend and help my good friend Mike Wallace and his team,” said Carrot Top. “Watching a race from the pits should be great fun.
Wait WHOA what?? Carrot Top has friends? This story is full of surprises.
Anyway, I might actually tune into this race…I watch for the crashes of course.
Ludacris has put out a new single for his upcoming album “Battle of the Sexes” that is starting to set the internet ablaze. Why you ask? Well the track is entitled ”Sexting” and starts out with Luda recreating the infamous Tiger Woods voicemail to frequent ho-bag Jaimee Grubbs. Pretty smart on his part, and a great way to get some early album promotion to tie his album in some way to the massive media scandal that is Tiger Woods overactive libido.
Now, usually I hate rap album skits. So many of them are pure garbage and I thank Jeebus for digital technology that allows me to delete the vast majority of those tracks forever from my playlists. However, for a minor rap skit on an album, its not horrible and sort of clever, especially from a marketing perspective. Not a bad track either, give it a listen and a small chuckle.
Only Vegas can give people the chance to enjoy hookers in every sense of the word. The USA Rugby Sevens were on ABC opposite the Olympics this past weekend. It’s an underrated tournament and a great chance to check some rugby in Vegas between visits to the Bunny Ranch and Spearmint Rhino.
We don’t pay enough attention to rugby on the Deuce. Maybe it’s because we don’t understand it that well. However you have to appreciate a sport where people try to kill each other without pads. Here are a couple rugby commercials that show different sides of the game.
1. The Scottish answer to the Haka. Rugby plus whiskey? Check and mate.
