Cuervo Girl Throws A Pretty Decent Splitter
There are many many reasons to enjoy AVP Tour volleyball, not the least of which is pictured here. Becoming a Cuervo girl, I hear, not only requires a certain body type, but one must also have a variety of promotional mini-volleyball deliveries. This one here appears to be two-seam fastball. But I c...

Paul Shirley, And The Frustrations Of The NBA Finals In Spain
Former NBA player Paul Shirley is the author of Can I Keep My Jersey?: 11 Teams, 5 Countries, and 4 Years in My Life as a Basketball Vagabond. He is currently in Spain, and writes today for Deadspin about the difficulty of trying to watch Game 1 of the NBA Finals...

His Lawrence Phillips Jersey Was In The Wash
Among the many wonders of Walt Disney World in Orlando are the Magic Kingdom, Space Mountain, and of course the occasional kid wearing the Mark Chmura jersey. Guess who's not allowed in the hot tub portion of the hotel pool?...

But Where Are Rich Garces' Tits?
And...we're off. Welcome to today's first plummet into non-newsworthy despicability intended for the sole purpose of making your work day more amusing....

Danica Patrick No Longer A Pretty Girl Who Can't Win Races
It feels like it took longer than Phil Mickelson's first major, but the petite open-wheeled racer finally reached the checkered flag before a bunch of chauvinistic war-starting toilet-seat-leaving-up booze-crazed horndogs in Japan this weekend, becoming the first female to win a major auto racing ev...

Come For Soaking Wet Cheerleaders, Stay For The Goodwill
First of all, kudos to the guy seated at the table on the right; watching cheerleaders plunge into a swimming pool while wearing a comical top hat is pretty much why we all went to college. And, hold it ... the cheerleader in the back there; that pose looks strikingly familiar. Yes, I thought so! ...

Shaq's New Diesel
The black Perez Hiltons over at Media Take Out unveiled some photos of Shaq and his post-divorce hook-up, who if memory serves me correct, looks alarmingly similar to Shaq's ex-wife, Shaunie. (It seems Shaq has a thing for cinnamon-colored ladies with Legend of Billie Jean haircuts. )...

Gee, Your New Rule Smells Terrific
There's now a proposal — by, surprisingly, the Kansas City Chiefs — to ban long hair in the NFL next season. The owners will consider it at their meetings in Palm Beach, Fla., next week, because, you know, all the major prblems with the league have been solved. The Steelers' Troy Polamalu is waiting...

Kevin Hart Might Not Have Been Recruited At All
The young man in this photo is Kevin Hart. He's a two-star offensive lineman prospect out of Nevada, and he has been trying to decide which college to attend. After talking to their coach repeatedly, he finally settled on California. He called a big press conference to announce his decision: He's go...

He's Totally Rich Because Her Dad Invented Toaster Streudels
It's probably best, at this point, to think of Roger Clemens and Andy Pettitte as characters from "Mean Girls."...

Snorgtees Girl Likes The Braves, Gets Paid Zilch
We've known the identity of the Snorg T-shirt girl for quite awhile now, of course; Alice Fraasa, 19, attends Auburn, where she majors in communication. Loves the Atlanta Braves, Harry Potter, and is an atheist. But what I didn't know is how much money she rakes in. The Snorgtees ads that feature he...

Patriots Fans Are Deranged, Buxom
A lot of people say that they're Patriots' fans, but how many are willing to bare their breasts for the cause? (No, not you, sir; please sit down). Sorry if I'm late to the party with this, but I've only just heard of wannabe actress Cheryl Ling, who is better known as the topless Patriots superfan ...

Which Sports-Related Person Would Engage In A 2Girls1Cup-Type Video?
AJ Daulerio's Cultural Oddsmaker runs every Friday ... well, that next five Fridays, anyway. Yes, after more than a year of goodness, Mr. Daulerio is retiring the Cultural Oddsmaker column at the beginning of 2008. There are now FIVE left. Email him to let him know how much you'll miss him....

Just Another 16-Hour Workday For Herbie
I may have been the last person to notice that ESPN College GameDay dreamboat staple Kirk Herbstreit has also been in the booth for that night's ABC prime-time football game. Oftentimes, those two locales are in different areas. But I think yesterday's cross-country trek had to be one a logistical n...

Steely McBeam Gets Him Some Lady Lovin'
What is it about the Pittsburgh Steelers that women find so attractive? Is it The Dreamboat that is Ben Roethlisberger? The prospect of folding and laundering extra towels? The memory of this? The answers are shrouded in mystery. But the fact is that they just do: According to a recent marketing sur...

It's Been a Busy Day, Let's See What We Missed
•We Are SC happened upon these lovely Song Girls wading in the refreshing water of Lake Tahoe. The artwork was done by yours truly. (via the photogenic Gridiron Goddess)...

South Carolina School System, We Salute You
This clip may be somewhat off topic, but you know what? I don't care. Because it's been gnawing at my brain now for nearly 48 hours, like a game of tetris where all you get are the long, L-shaped pieces and nothing fits, and why should I be the only one to suffer? It's from the Teen Miss USA Page...

New Jersey Nets Dancers Are INTENSE
If you think dancing for an NBA team is just about bleaching your hair blonde, suiting up in tight-fitting Spandex, and shaking what the good Lord — or a good surgeon — gave you, then 10 years ago you were actually correct. But times have changed, and in an era where Jason Kidd is no longer legally ...

You Threadjackin' It?
To keep the comments as fresh and outstanding as they've been up to this point, we've commissioned Commenting Guru Rob Iracane to write a bi-weekly Comment Ombudsman column. It runs every other week. This is that week....
