I think this picture pretty much sums it up

3,000 for Biggio

Congratulation to Craig Biggio of the Houston Astros for getting his 3,000th base hit yesterday. ESPN thew out some numbers and the one that impressed me the most was that Craig is now 26th on the all time hit list. Not many players spend their entire 20 year career with one team, but that's exactly what Craig has managed in the free agency era. On a night he needed 3 hits to break the mark, he picked up 5 of 6. He's probably the best leadoff batter over the last 20 years. See you in the Hall, Craig.

Tsunami suffers possible career ending injury

Some folks have called this guy the worlds most dominant athlete. Let's face it, all of us at one time or another have marveled at this dude's ability to stuff an entire 4th of July barbeque down his pipe. Accordning to Fox News, "Tsunami" Kobayashi can now only open his mouth to make a gap the size of a fingertip after being diagnosed with jaw arthritis.

According to Kobayashi's blog: "My jaw refused to fight any more.'' The injury occurred only a week after the slender 29-year-old started training to win his seventh straight title at the annual July 4 Nathan's Famous hot dog eating event.

When I first read the title for this article, I immediately thought he might have blown out an intenstine or something, but I suppose a screwed up jaw is almost as fitting.

Pro wrestler Chris Benoit Kills His Family then Himself

From Fox Sports

Pro wrestler Chris Benoit canceled a pay-per-view appearance at the "Vengeance" event in Houston because of "personal reasons" a day before he, his wife and their 7-year-old son were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.

Details of the deaths "are going to prove a little bizarre" when released to the public, Fayette County District Attorney Scott Ballard told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Autopsies were scheduled Tuesday by the Georgia Bureau of Investigation in DeKalb County.

Authorities were investigating the deaths at a secluded Fayette County home as a murder-suicide and were not seeking any suspects.

Investigators believe Benoit, (pronounced ben-WAH) killed his wife and son over the weekend and then himself sometime Monday. The bodies were found Monday afternoon in three different rooms of the house on Green Meadow Lane, in a subdivision off a gravel road about two miles from the Whitewater Country Club.

Ballard told The Associated Press a gun was not used in any of the deaths. But he declined to say how the three died.

"We're pretty sure we know, but we want to confirm it with the crime lab," Ballard said early Tuesday.

Fayette County Coroner C.J. Mowell did not return phone calls. The answering service for his funeral home said he was out of town.

World Wrestling Entertainment said on its Web site that it asked authorities to check on Benoit and his family after being alerted by friends who received "several curious text messages sent by Benoit early Sunday morning."

Sheriff's Lt. Tommy Pope told WSB-TV that the three were found about 2:30 p.m., but he wouldn't release other details.

Stamford, Conn.-based WWE also said on its Web site it had been asked by authorities not to release further information on the deaths of Benoit, 40; his wife, Nancy, 43; and son, Daniel.

Benoit was born in Montreal. He was a former world heavyweight champion, Intercontinental champion and held several tag-team titles over his career. He was known by several names including "The Canadian Crippler."

"WWE extends its sincerest thoughts and prayers to the Benoit family's relatives and loved ones in this time of tragedy," the company said in a statement on its Web site.

Benoit had maintained a home in metro Atlanta from the time he wrestled for the defunct World Championship Wrestling.

The WWE canceled its live "Monday Night RAW" card in Corpus Christi, Texas, and USA Network aired a three-hour tribute to Benoit in place of the scheduled wrestling telecast.

Benoit's wife managed several wrestlers and went by the stage name, "Woman," The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

They met when her then-husband drew up a script that had them involved in a relationship as part of an ongoing story line on World Championship Wrestling, the newspaper said.

Benoit has two other children from a prior relationship.

Tank Johnson Cut!!!

MSNBC reports that troubled and suspended Chicago Bears defensive tackle Tank Johnson was cut from the team following his incident last week with Arizona police. If the NFL policed up player behavior like this back in the nineties we wouldn't have had to put up with the Dallas Cowboys.

The Kobe Transcripts

I have been waiting to see the video that was supposed to be released later this week showing Kobe trashing the Lakers, but I found something just as good. The transcripts.

Here it is from Shout Fan:

“Andrew Bynum? What the f—?” Bryant says in disgust. “Are you kidding me? Andrew Bynum? F—ing ship his ass out. Are you kidding me? We’re talking about Jason Kidd. But they didn’t even want to do that. Now we’re here in this f—ed up position.”

The “Kobe Video Guys” then asked Bryant what he thought about Bynum’s potential. Bryant smiled and started to shake his head as if he was about to go on another tirade.

“You know what man? Let me tell you something. Mitch Kupchak had the nerve to ask me…”


The video ends there but the “Kobe Video Guys” say that Kobe goes on to say:

“How good do you think Andrew Bynum is going to be in 10 years? Are you f—ing kidding me? I’m trying to win this s— now.”

The full conversation with Kobe was supposedly 15 minutes long, too bad the video is only 24 seconds. When the video comes out we will post it immediately.

Pacman turns himself in -Somebody hit this guy

Pacman Jones turned himself in to the authorities in Nevada this morning. He then the $10,000 bail and left.

Believe it or not, Jones has been involved in at least 11 separate police investigations, and is currently sought by Atlanta-area police for questioning in a shooting early Monday after a fight at a strip club there.

I wish someone would hit this guy in one of the shootings so I could stop talking about him.

Heres a couple tips when shooting at Pacman.

1. Don't hold the gun side ways.
2. Don't try and sling the bullets out of the barrel. This does not increase accuracy.
3. Don't yell obscenaties while shooting, just look down the barrel and line up the shot.

Seriously, these guys don't really want to shoot anyone, they just want to be able to go back to their friends and say they shot their gun off and look hard. If your going to do something, do it right.

Good Bye Bud, Hello Sony

After this season Dale Jr. will no longer be a Bud man.

Heres the story:

OAKVILLE, Calif. (AP) - Dale Earnhardt Jr. has signed an endorsement deal with Sony Electronics, but he still isn't saying what role longtime sponsor Budweiser will have with him when he joins Hendrick Motorsports next season.

"I'm a big electronics fan. I'm a big computer guy. It's products I can dig," Earnhardt told reporters Thursday at a winery in the heart of California's Napa Valley. He will be competing on Sunday in the Toyota/Save Mart 350 at Infineon Raceway in nearby Sonoma.
His deal with Sony is a personal services contract that gives the company use of his name, likeness and voice for promotions. He also has a similar deal with Budweiser that will continue next year, regardless of what's on his car.

Budweiser has been Earnhardt's primary sponsor since 1999, and the beer manufacturer wants to continue its relationship with him at Hendrick. But car owner Rick Hendrick isn't actively pursuing new sponsors, and it's possible Bud could get shut out.

Earnhardt also said a possible endorsement deal with sporting goods manufacturer Adidas was "on the wish list."

Earnhardt's move to Hendrick is expected to clean up his sometimes scruffy image to match that of his teammates, Jeff Gordon and Jimmie Johnson, although he appeared at Thursday's news conference in a scraggy beard, an untucked dress shirt and worn jeans — with Puma athletic shoes.

Wanted: Good Set of Testicles -Kobe Bryant

Kobe needs to shut and play. Apparently another instance has been filmed of Kobe Bryant trashing the Lakers and teammates. The video that will supposedly be released at the end of the week and depict Kobe criticizing the team’s management and the Lakers center Andrew Bynum.

Here's a teaser I found


Seriously Kobe needs to nut up. KG has been in the abyss of Minnesota his entire career and you don't see him wining. Next Jordan my ass.

Grow a pair.
