You can say one thing about the Deuce. We’ll never whore ourselves out to Jim Gray and ESPN in order to give back to the children.

Here’s a message from NBA players who aren’t as fortunate as Delonte West. Feel free to share with your kids, legitimate or not.

Winston Bennett says that’s wrong on so many levels.

Prepare to have your mind blowed all kinds of up. See if you can identify the lead singer in this video from 1984.

Yeah. That’s Ricky Gervais during his short tenure as lead singer for the group Seona Dancing. The band was together from 1982-1984 and never had any Top 40 hits. Apparently they had a hit in the Philippines but then again Manny Pacquiao is famous for his singing down there so that’s not saying much.

Terry Matterson’s wife was most likely pissed when he came home from work without his wedding ring. “Baby you see what had happened was…” The Castleford coach had an airtight excuse that no wife could reject. It’s true that he wasn’t wearing his wedding ring. However he also wasn’t wearing his ring finger. It was severed in a training ground accident that’s enough to make anyone cringe.

Matterson was preparing his squad for the weekend’s friendly against the Catalan Dragons when he scaled a steel fence to retrieve a ball. He caught his wedding ring on a spike on top and, without realising it, severed the finger as he jumped down. “It was a shock,” he said with some understatement. “We were looking around for the finger on the field and couldn’t find it.

Castleford staff eventually detached it from the fence and took it, packed in ice, to the hospital with Matterson, but doctors were unable to re-attach it. He still took charge of the team for the game in Perpignan, although he left some duties to his assistant, Andy Hay.

This is the kind of story that makes you mutter “Holy shit!” under your breath after reading it. That is unless you actually witness the event in person. That’s when you yell “Holy shit!” or “What the fuck??” while pointing instead of helping out.

It’s not all bad for Matterson. Now he can convincingly play a Yakuza member for Halloween or Guy Fawkes Day. Boxing Day, whatever. That’s mad street cred in Little Tokyo. Take that, Dolph.
