Metal Lungies

Wait, what?? This is from a while ago.. so is dude up to 600 by now? I’ve yet to catch one in my lifetime.

Via TSN. Wow, is there any medium left that Hov is yet to be in? The only thing that is left for him is to become a Today show host or some ish. Too bad the Wizards aren’t in the lottery, then they could’ve sent DeShawn. Anyway, I miss Russ Granik.

Wow.. sports is pretty non-uplifting these days, lets have a rundown of the headlines on ESPN.com this evening.

• A filly horse dying after a race, then it’s put to sleep in front of thousands.
• A fallen from grace pitcher is apologizing about all sorts of wrongs except that hollering at underage country star shorties part.
• Good coaches (most likely) leaving.
• Chi-town Running backs getting gully with the police.
• Managers cursing like sailors.
• Car racers crashing, going to the hospital.
• Falcons player catching a battery charge.
• More race crashing.
• Don’t worry there is murder here too.. after a yankees/red sox dispute. That’s why ML now roots for the Royals now, it’s not going to cause us any harm, ever.

Pass that Xanax please!

Only in baseball would a team would be allowed to wear a hat that is the exactly same as one used by another team, even as a part of a “throwback” uniform, it looks pretty-pretty dumb.  But then again you know what they say about imitation.

The Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington:

Ryan Zimmerman of the Washington Nationals:

E:60 did a very interesting piece on Iron Mike, who ML is endlessly intrigued by. In the roundtable Jeremy Schaap nails it when he says a good part of the appeal of Mike Tyson is how authentic he is. Watch this if you are interested in what Mike is up to these days.

So Soulja Boy attends the Wizards game acting as a lucky charm for the sole win in 4 games. Well, Jay-Z comes back with a hyphy flavored diss, that uhh pretty much ends the whole thing because there is no way Soulja can muster any thing that resembles a comeback…maybe DeShawn has a contingency plan where another rapper can be worked into this somehow.

Today the Wizards may have been barely beaten by the Cavaliers but there is a bigger story brewing, the feud of DeShawn Stevenson vs. Lebron James. It’s already starting to bubble with the pre-halftime confrontation between the 2 teams.

First Stevenson said this in March:

DeShawn was obviously holding back in that session with reporters around his locker. When he was leaving the building, Mike Lee was chatting him up and mentioned LeBron again. DeShawn has obviously heard enough of that.

“He’s overrated,” DeShawn told Mike. “And you can say I said that.”

Lebron responded with this:

“With DeShawn Stevenson, it’s kind of funny. It’s almost like Jay-Z [responding to a negative comment] made by Soulja Boy. It doesn’t make sense to respond.”

What a horrible analogy. And by using the analogy isn’t that some sort of response anyway?

What does DeShawn do?

In fact, Stevenson responded to James’ comments by inviting Way to an upcoming playoff game. Stevenson promised to have Way at courtside in a Wizards jersey. Way said he will accept the invitation. He is expected to attend either Game 3 or Game 4 in Washington.

Watch, to make it harder to hate on him, Soulja Boy will become the Wizards lucky charm as they’ll beat the Cavs in 7.

“I’m all for it,” Way said. “He invited me out, and I don’t have a problem coming . . . I’m [cheering] for whoever backs me. I can’t go for whoever’s going against me.”

It really is amazing that Soulja Boy is still getting any sort of mention at all here at ML.

I’ve never seen the original from last year before, and boy was I missing out. Eskay with the find like always. By the way, if Duke wins the championship ML will be shut down forever.

Anyway, the most original dunk ever:

So a fake doctor, a lawyer and a baseball pitcher walk into a bar…

So I’ve been trying to just get a look at the top 10 plays of the day or some NFL Live in my free time today, but this Roger Clemens/Brian McNamee congressional hearing is eating up all of that. Instead I’m listening to all sorts of fun discussions about fake diplomas, Clemens butt bleeding (NH!!), a nanny attending a Jose Conseco’s party, with committee members cracking jokes/zinging in between. They could’ve ended it about after about 5 minutes of talking and easily solved the matter. Since one of them is CLEARLY lying, get a lie detector on both guys and we can all resume our regularly scheduled programming. Although, it still is more entertaining than this.
