All thanks to the amazing sport that is Bo-Taoshi, the Deuce of Davenport just blew up in South Africa. SAfm’s The Lifestyle Show with Michelle Constant talked to the Deuce’s own Mustafa Redonkulous last Friday and we just got a copy of the interview to share with all you readers outside of South Africa that have yet to hear it.

Michelle is a seasoned journalist who has interviewed the likes of Sugar Ray Leonard, Mike Tyson and Henry Rollins and now she can add Mustafa Redonkulous to that list. Isn’t that something? To be honest, we’re a little shocked here at the Deuce. Just a little though, I always knew we’d be huge in South Africa.

Click the link below to give a listen to our boy talkin about the sport Bo-Taoshi, Japanese politics and, yes, even Godzilla. Sadly, he ran out of time before he could ask them how they are handling that District 9 situation. Sorry Turd, maybe next time. Here’s the interview link:

SAfm Interview – Mustafa

Special shout out to all the new South African readers of the Deuce of Davenport, welcome to the site. Don’t worry if we don’t update for a day or two, we all have day jobs here but we’ll always find the time to throw something new and random up eventually. Cheers!

The NBA just got a lot less fun this afternoon as the Diesel, decided to call it a career on Twitter, where he apparently has 4 million followers.

Since the announcement, Shaquille O’Neal is getting the sort of treatment usually reserved for athletes who frequented The Gold Club in the 1990′s right now on the “Worldwide leader of sports” and deservedly so. At his peak, there was no player more dominant in the NBA. With that being said, Shaq could be petulant, he never came to camp in shape, he usually became a locker room cancer, and freely took shots at teammates as well as deflected blame for his team’s failures. Additionally, Shaq always seemed content with the skills he was born with, and the tools he had, never really making strides in his game in the offseason like Jordan, Kobe, or Lebron. Maybe that’s why he missed over 5,000 free throws.

Still, Shaq’s numbers speak for themselves, and they are impressive:

O’Neal retires fifth all-time with 28,596 points, 12th with 13,099 rebounds and second only to Artis Gilmore among players with more than 2,000 baskets with a .582 field goal percentage.

He also won the 2000 MVP, and won 3 NBA Finals MVPs.

Ohio State QB Terrelle Pryor has got to hate Jim Tressel. After all, Tressel’s offensive schemes are about as creative as old porn from the ’30s. Oh, like I want to see black-and-white footage of two fat chicks with raccoons between their legs chase each other around the room for thirty minutes! Jeez! (Slams door to mother’s basement door, stomps down the stairs, begins playing Super Mario Bros. 3).

Despite all that, the word is that Pryor is being investigated by both Ohio State and the NCAA, so it probably wasn’t the best idea to show up to a team event right after the announcement that your coach was resigning in a brand-new car and with a suspended license.

Put me in, Coach, I am ready to get-you-forced-out-from-your-high-paying-occupation-for-tolerating-improper-relationships-between-your players-local-businesses-and-boosters:

Pryor’s license was suspended last month because he had no proof of insurance when he was stopped by Columbus police for running a stop sign Feb. 17.

Despite his suspension, Pryor drove up to a players-only meeting Monday night in a used coal-black Nissan 350Z sports car with 30-day plates and drove to a workout in the same car Wednesday, according to the Associated Press. Calls by USA TODAY to Pryor were not immediately returned.

Pryor already is facing a five-game suspension next season for trading Ohio State football memorabilia for money and tattoos from Columbus tattoo-parlor owner Edward Rife, who pleaded guilty last week to federal drug-trafficking and money-laundering charges.

When reached for a comment, former Buckeyes Coach Jim Tressel muttered “Nagh gahng aaahsfhole,” because he was talking while putting his mouth around a double barrel shotgun and tying string around his index finger.

You’ve probably already read the news that Ohio State football coach Jim Tressel is just as bad as everybody else in college football. The excellent piece in Sports Illustrated can be read here.

Naturally, (the most annoying fans in college sports) Ohio State fans are feeling mixed emotions right now; betrayal, hurt, and most of all anger. Wearing the scarlet and white, despite the fact that you were announcing that you were living in, or had lived in Ohio, and also that you likely would reply with an emphatic I-O no matter where you were greeted with a boisterous O-H, was a source of pride for the flyover state. Perhaps most puzzling in the aftermath of the SI article detailing the allegations against Tressel, is the fact that he went to all that trouble to get players and still lost to Florida.
