I DON'T WAFFLE!!!

Of all the videos you'll watch today, this will be the best one. Enjoy.

NEWSFLASH: Iguodala Overrated

So I'm flipping through my latest issue of Sports Illustrated and I came across their latest "SI Player Poll." For those unfamiliar with this weekly feature, SI askes a group of players a question about their peers (i.e. "Whose the best?", "Biggest Cheater?", etc.). In this instance, SI polled 173 NBA players and asked them this simple question, "Who is the NBA's most overrated player?"

Take a guess which Sixers small forward ranked fourth in this poll? Need help? His name rhymes with Candre Miguodala.

I Heard His Friend Billy Zane is a Cool Guy

This is just an absolutely ridiculous photo of Terrell Owens at a fashion show in NY.  I could not help but share this with all of you. I mean, just look at that squirrel carcass on his head.

Oh, T.O. I know you're all about fashion and modeling, but damn… this is just humiliating.

Oh well, to each his own. Can't wait till the Merman commercial debuts.

Much thanks to the700level.com for this.

[EDITORS NOTE]
Dookie rope chain? Are those karate pants? Is this from the Tiger Schulmann's X Run DMC collection? I know things get a little crazy here in NYC during fashion week, but this is sad. Like Bambi's mom sad.

Sixers Trade!!!!!

It's not Amare or McGrady, we aren't getting any more cap room for next year and Willie Green is sadly still a Sixer. However, the Sixers did make a move today, aquiring Jodie Meeks and Francisco Elson from the Bucks for Primoz Brezec, Royal Ivey and a second-round pick.

This trade makes sense for the Sixers, they liked Meeks coming out of college and there is some upside with him. He's undersized for a two-guard (6' 4'') but averaged 23+ points his last year at Kentucky, so the dude can score. It's worth a chance, especially since this team needs someone who can shoot. If he never pans out, oh well.

Everyone else in the trade is pointless, so no need to discuss that. And remember, a second round pick once got us Willie Green, so avoiding them in the future is probably a good idea.

TheWizWit Wallpaper Wednesday!

Holy shit we're back. With premature unwarranted new-found confidence due to a nice pageview boost (many thanks to our buddy Enrico from The700level for the tweet), we forge on with more poorly executed, loosely sports-based mini desktop wallpaper this Wednesday. Why? Well, without mediocrity those more clever and skilled than I wouldn't know how talented they are. Oh...why wallpaper? Didn't you see our last wallpaper, Thaddeus Young and a Shitload of Kittens? Did you already forget how I explained that your desktop wallpaper at work is a privilege that should undoubtedly be abused? How forgetful of you.

This week we present...Losers, con Donovan McNabb!

Go Phillies.

I Miss Vince

The 2010 Slam Dunk contest will take place tonight, where defending champion *COUGH* bullshit *COUGH* Nate Robinson will return against newcomers Shannon Brown, Gerald Wallace and DeMar DeRozen. Wow, that's awful. Since we no longer get any interesting players in this competition, I felt it necessary to hearken back to one of the great contests. So enjoy Vinsanity's personal coming out party, the 2000 Dunk Contest:



This is just part one, continue onto YouTube to see the rest. This is what a dunk contest is supposed to be. Honestly, how fucking cool was young Vince Carter?

Fox Sports: Hack, Unoriginal Journalism at its' Finest


This was the splash page to Fox Sports' MLB section this morning.  Some idiot got paid to write this article. Think about that. I know sports is at its "slow time" right now.  But seriously, an article entitled "10 Guys Who Would Look Good In Pinstripes"?

Bob Klapisch, have you no pride?

Links for Friday

It's that time of year again, millions of married men receive the only "porn" magazine they can safely display around the house without their wife getting all pissed off and accussing them of, GASP!, masturbating. (Seriously, women need to understand that men, as long as they can get it up, will jerk off. It's nothing against you...we love you. But a dude's gotta do what a dude's gotta do. So unless you wanna bang us at our every beck and call -- which we are totally okay with by the way -- we're going to spank it. We don't care if you get yourself off, too...as long as you videotape it and share it with us.)

Anyways, the beautiful Brooklyn Decker graces this years cover. I still have yet to receive my copy, so SI better get on that. Seriously.

Onto the links:

Less Snow, More Baseball

As Philadelphia and the surrounding area digs itself out of 258 inches of snow today, be comforted by this one fact:

Pitchers and catchers report in one week.

Fuck yea!
