Here Come the PSAs

Ladies, if you’re like me, you fall for the good-looking, insensitive, self-absorbed type.

But if you’re not like me and you like the strong, silent type and looks aren’t everything to you, then you’re going to love Lamon Brewster, who just gave us the first in what is inevitably going to be a long line of PSAs speaking out against dog fighting.



Strong body, soft heart. You don't have to be an asshole to be a real man, etc. etc.

That’s nice, and all, but I’m not paying attention until they get Drew Brees’ sweet ass on camera. I don’t know what he’s like behind the scenes, but I'd stop fighting pit bulls if he told me to. He’s fucking hot.

Barry Bonds: Now 1686% More Popular!

I honestly didn't think that Barry Bonds could possibly be more popular, but according to The Lycos 50 - the 50 most popular Internet searches per week - Bonds's popularity has gone up 1686 percent between the week ending July 14, 2007 and the week ending July 28, 2007.

Some of the interest has got to be people searching for memorabilia to burn. With Bonds being so close to tying and breaking Hank Aaron's home run record, expect to see "Flights to Chicago" somewhere on next week's list.

Beckham Imposter on the Loose

I don’t know what kind of shit David Beckham had to put up with over in Europe, but here in America, we can be complete assholes when we pay big money for you to do nothing.

Just yesterday we saw the Beckham backlash start to gain momentum, with posters like the one pictured above (via The Fanhouse). And now, some guy is calling L.A. officials imitating Beckham and making a boatload of empty promises, like having underprivileged kids come to an LA Galaxy practice session.

An imposter pretending to be soccer superstar David Beckham made a dozen crank calls to county offices to chat about charity work and drop names of celebrity friends, officials said. County Public Information Officer Judy Hammond said the bogus Beckham also suggested bringing underprivileged kids to a practice session of the Los Angeles Galaxy, Beckham's new team.

Luckily for Beckham, though, those L.A. officials don't just stand around not arresting celebrities. They're busy today investigating their own laws to see if the prank calls rise to the "level of some kind of offense."

Yes, Another Video

If you're like me and find golf, well...boring as hell, fret not. These guys have found a way to make golf an exciting adventure for everyone. Golf and fire might not seem to mix as well as these guys hoped, but developing the technique seems like a trial-and-error process. If properly executed, it could just be the greatest way to tee off at each hole.



If that's not the greatest execution of "stop, drop and roll," I just don't know what is.

Dan Rodricks is a Stupid Dick.

From Dan Rodricks at The Sun in Baltimore:

Here's my prediction:
Red Sox will choke. It's going to get really ugly.
It's going to be historic. The Curse Resurrectio. They'll not only lose the AL East. They won't get a wild-card bid.
Yanks will finish first in the East, the Tigers in the Central and the Angels in the West. The Indians will be the wild-card.
The Orioles will make a run and finish strong -- edging out the Jays and the Sox into second place right behind the Yankees.
There, it's done. I said it. I'm gonna live with it. I've started the Bosox Choke Watch.


Good god, did they give Dan Shaughnessy a pen name?


Thanks to Dan at The Red Sox Monster.
