Each year prior to the Super Bowl, the mayors of the two cities whose teams are involved in the game make an always-lame bet on the game. This year’s bet between New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and Indianapolis Mayor Greg Ballard is particularly lame (More on this later.) Thankfully, the owner of the New Orleans Museum of Art and the Indianapolis Museum of Art have stepped up to the plate to make things really interesting. Read more »
As you may know, Lil Wayne hails from the projects of New Orleans. As you may also know, the New Orleans Saints are playing the Minnesota Vikings this weekend with the winner advancing to the Super Bowl. With that said, Weezy has announced that he’ll be pulling for the Vikings on Sunday because he’s a Brett Favre fan. You know what, fuck Lil Wayne! |MTV|
Just when you thought things couldn’t possibly get any worse, just as the “Jungers effect” seemed to be taking hold, the New York Times reported last night that the Canadian doctor who treated Tiger Woods’ knee injury last year is under investigation by the FBI and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police for the sale and smuggling of illegal drugs, including human growth hormone and other known performance enhancers.

Unless you went to bed early last night, you probably know that the New York Yankees won their 27th, freaking 27th, world championship last night. In the midst all of the hoopla, it’s easy to forget that Kate Hudson, the greatest slump-buster of all-time, deserves a lot of credit for the team’s success by sexing renowned choke-artist Alex Rodriguez into an icy calm post-season assassin. So when the team’s victory-parading through the Canyon of Heroes tomorrow, let’s not forget about the heroic canyon between K-Hud’s legs, okay? Perhaps Bloomberg can re-name the West Side Highway after her ladybits or something.
Back in the 1990s, former Chicago Cubs first baseman Mark Grace coined the term “slump-buster” to describe a ritual in which he and other ball players mired in hitting slumps would go out and sleep with the most dowdy baseball groupies they could find, thinking that by giving something back to the universe in the form of throwing these women a bone, the universe would in turn help them come out of their hitting slumps. Now, considering that the Yankees were sucking so dreadfully bad early in the season, only to turn it around right around the time that Alex Rodriguez starting dating Kate Hudson, and considering that A-Rod has in the past been one of the biggest post-season choke artists in baseball history, only to turn that legendary streak of failure around this post-season with K-Hud in the stands cheering him on, is it safe to go ahead and label Kate Hudson as one of the greatest, if not the greatest, slump-busters of all-time?

Surely by now you’ve heard that Rush Limbaugh’s been trying to buy an ownership stake in the NFL’s St. Louis Rams. Despite public outcry from fans, past and present players and other owners, Rush has remained undeterred. Earlier today he said the following on his radio show: “I’m not even thinking of exiting. I’m not even thinking of caving. I am not a caver. None of us are. We have been betrayed by too many who have caved. Pioneers take the arrows. We are pioneers. It’s a sad thing but our country over 200 years old now needs pioneers all over again, but we do.”
Well, that’s all fine and dandy, but he’s now been essentially told to go fuck himself. Rush Limbaugh’s dream of owning strapping black men is dead. |ESPN|
If you follow pro football, you know that the New Orleans Saints defeated the New York Jets yesterday in the Superdome, 24-10. As a Saints fan (I’ve got a freakin’ Fleur-De-Lis tattooed on my arm for Christ’s sake!), I derived great satisfaction from the win. You know who else did? Former Saints quarterback/radio host/world class coonass Bobby Hebert, that’s who. Just check out this video of his reaction in the press box when the Saints recovered a Mark Sanchez fumble in the end zone to go up 17-3 in the second quarter. It’s friggin’ amazing! Read more »
Buffalo-area vandals defiled the front lawn of Buffalo Bills cornerback Leodis McKelvin by painting a giant white dong and “25-24,” the final score score of a Bills loss to the Patriots on Monday night, a loss many Bills fan blame on a late fumble by McKelvin. No word on whether or not the dong in question was an erect or flaccid one. |Buffalo News|
