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.

Irish online sports betting site Paddy Power lost a bit of money over the weekend when they decided to pay out over $2 million in wagers on Tiger Woods to win the PGA Championship on Saturday…before he even teed off for round 3. This, obviously, did not work out so well for the betting site when YE Yang came from no where and won the event on Sunday. Meaning they not only lost that $2+ million that they already gave away for nothing, but they also had to pay people who bet on Yang at 150/1.

The guys that run this sports book might be the boldest dumbasses you have ever heard of in your life.

The best thing about this all is that the book isn’t trying to get the money back. Some other sportsbook might try some real shady things to get their cash back, but not Paddy Power. They gave it away before they should’ve and they paid the price, taking their medicine like the men they are. That is a bookie that I can get behind there and I’ll willingly give em this little free advertisement in this space for their huge blunder.

Now that TMZ and Ebaum’s Nation both have rendered the value of any more video of Jordan Crawford’s dunk on Lebron James to be virtually worthless, Nike has decided to give back the footage it confiscated that started this whole mess to begin with. Our long national nightmare is OVER! Free Jordan Crawford worked! Huzzah!! Blah. I guess if Nike can’t make money off of Lebron, then they will try their hardest to make sure no one else will as well…even though they failed a bit there.

I mean, the dunk wasn’t that special and the lack of defense that Lebron played while being in the way of said dunk makes it even less impressive that Crawford “dunked on” Lebron. It didn’t even look to me like he cared the kid was leaping over him. All said, its pretty weak. The value of the videos was that Nike confiscated them in the first place, thus the rules of supply and demand made those videos far more important and valuable than they really should’ve been. Nike actually created value with their actions…not so smart on their part.

Now, Nike has returned them. I’m amazed they didnt get leaked before they were handed back, that is some pretty impressive security that the people of Nike have there in Oregon. For what its worth, Nike is still standing by its story that they had a no videotaping policy for pickup games, but we all know that is crap.

Jordan Crawford, you are now free…to be forgotten, your 15 minutes of fame have GOT to be up now.

Yum…the Nike Air Max 90 burger by artist Olle Hemmendorff. This burger “shoe” was commissioned by Nike who wanted artists to interpret their shoes in art, thankfully Olle realized that there is no better medium than a dozen or so all beef patties on a sesame seed bun. ESPNZone needs to figure out a way to serve this, it might be the only way I stop in one of those. Mmmmm burgers…

You might’ve seen that Nike commercial during the Olympics coverage that features Marvin Gaye singing the National Anthem. Its a pretty neat commercial if you have seen it, and if not go ahead and check the link. If you wanted to see the full version of Marvin singing the Star Spangled Banner though without the basketball players doing their thing though here it is in all its soul-icious glory. That Marvin is one baaaaaaaaad man.
