10 Hottest Wives in Sports History

So even though I’ve been a strong advocator of leaving Tiger Woods’ private life out of the news and everybody just leaving Tiger alone, I’ll admit ever since the girls he had affairs with started going public, its been really bothering me, and not because of the whole sanctity of marriage crap, if his wife Elin Nordrgren can get over it so can I.  The thing that’s really been irritating me, is that Tiger cheated with at least a dozen women, and I don’t think any of them was hotter than what he had back home.  Don’t believe me, compare the picture of Elin (on the right) with Mindy Lawton, a Perkins waitress Tiger got caught cheating with, who’d you wanna teach to putt?   I mean if you’re gonna cheat, you owe it the other 3 billion men on the planet who want to be you to at least cheat with someone hotter than your wife. 

Quentin Richardson’s face, Meet Kevin Garnett's Elbow

Game 1 of the Boston Celtics Miami Heat Round 1 playoff series ended in a 85 - 76 win for the Celtics, but the big news afterwards was not about the game itself, but about Kevin Garnett’s monstrous elbow introducing itself to Quentin Richardson’s face.  You can clearly tell from the slow-mo this was not an accident, and KG was looking to cause some damage, however I, unlike many (mostly Heat Fans) feel that the one game suspension he got for his actions was more than fair. First off, it’s the playoffs, the intensity is understandably going to be a lot higher, and sometimes tempers are going to flare.  

Boise Field Hurting Fans' Eyes

Most people familiar with college football know that the Boise State Broncos are famous for two things, surprisingly good teams that get screwed out of the BCS championship game even after going undefeated in the regular system due to an inadequate bowl system, and Bronco Stadium aka The Blue; with its bright blue FieldTurf as opposed to the regular green every other team in NCAA division 1 football plays on.  Turns out the field is a little too bright for the fan's liking, causing problems due to glare for both those attending the game in person, and those watching at home on TV. 

Andy Sutton in search of an Expert

Andy Sutton took a lot of flack both during, and after Friday night's game number two against the Pittsburgh Penguins for his vicious hit on Jordan Leopold.  Many Pens fans have come out furious insisting that it was a dirty hit, that Sutton got his elbow up or came at him from his blind side and so on and so forth. Personally I watched the entire game, saw the hit both live and like 25 times on replay, and I [an expert ;-)]can tell you it was a clean and legal hit - devastating - but definitely acceptable as far as the rulebook is concerned.

Dana White Disgusted and Embarrassed by Anderson Silva

The video and title are fairly self explanatory.  After UFC 112:Invincible, where middleweight champion Anderson Silva put on a highly critiqued performance which included fighting like the champion he can be for two rounds, and then dodging and taunting underdog opponent Damian Maia for the next three rounds, UFC president Dana White came out and said it was the most embarrassed he had ever been as president, and vowed he would find a way to make it up to the fans somehow. White did not even stick around to award Silva the belt after the match, a first for him, opting instead to walk out during the middle of the fourth round and give Silva's manger the belt.

Seguin, Hall, Leafs, and Oilers

Two big questions regarding the NHL draft were answered tonight. While there remain a few more things to be determined before draft day (like the exact order) based on today's events we got a pretty good idea of things to come. Firstly, earlier on in the day, NHL Central Scouting released its final rankings of North American skaters, where Plymouth Whalers forward Tyler Seguin beat out longtime #1 Taylor Hall of the Windsor Spitfire.  Both have been at the top of the rankings all year, and are expected to go top two even if order is not determined 100% yet.  Then later on in the night, with the Maple Leafs' loss to the New York Rangers, Toronto cemented itself in the Eastern Conference basement and will end up with the second worst record in the league. To make matters worse for the Leafs, they've traded what will most likely be a top 2 pick to the Boston Bruins, meaning they don't get to reap the benefits of their crappiness, but Boston may just get a Hall or Seguin out of it.

Dont Mess With K-Mart's Car

Apparantly, one of the ex ball boys of the Denver Nuggets thought it would be a funny April fools joke, to during a Denver game, sneak into the locker room, take Kenyon Martin's keys out of his pocket, and fill his Range Rover up with buttered pop-corn. Did I mention K-Mart's Range has a white leather interior.  Upon finding his car like that after the game, Martin, who assumed a teammate was in on the stunt, stormed back into the locker room, with an expletive-filled response for the culprit. "That ain't no fucking joke. I'm going to find out who did it ... put my fucking hands on one of y'all. I'm going to put my hands on whoever did it. You better believe that. It's fucking personal. You better believe it."  He then went on to threaten not to play in the playoffs unless he was told who did it. Tempers soon cooled however, and the ball boy, who now works as a driver for another Nugget player, apologized and offered to pay for the damage.  Lets hope K-Mart who makes 32 million over the next two years, turned him down.  Apparently there are no hard feelings among any Denver players, and K-Mart was jovial in practice after the incident.

President Obama Plays Both Sides of the Ball

On April 5, as has been tradition before Washington games since President Taft did it in 1910, President Barack Obama threw the ceremonial first pitch to open the 2010 baseball season for the Washington Nationals.  As is customary for a president opening a season in Washington, Obama was decked out in a Nationals track jacket. However, President Obama, a Chicago native and staunch White Sox supporter couldn't help revealing his true colors when as soon as he got to the mound, he donned a Chicago White Sox cap before throwing the ball. The Washington crowd seemed a little befuddled at first at this betrayal of their baseball team, however they soon forgave the president and gave him a big cheer on his wind up and throw.

Eagles Trade McNabb to Redskins

Long time Quarterback for the Philadelphia Eagles, Donovan McNabb was traded Sunday, April 4th to NFC East rivals, the Washington Reskins in exchange for Washington's second-round pick (37th overall) in this month's NFL Draft, and either Washington's third or fourth round pick in the 2011 draft.  McNabb, who was drafted by the Eagles second overall in 1999, made the pro-bowl six times in his 11 years in Philly, and leaves as the franchise leader in passing yards (32,873), passes completed (2,801), pass attempts (4,746), completion rating (59.0%) and touchdown passes (216).

Epidemic of High-Schoolers Dying From Balcony Falls

17 year old Matt James, an offensive lineman at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, committed to play football for the Fighting Irish in the fall, died Friday, April 2, when he fell from the third-floor balcony of a Florida Day’s Inn hotel room he was staying at with some friends.  The 6’6, nearly 300lb James, who was an all-state lineman and a member of St. Xavier’s basketball team, was on spring break in Panama City Florida when he fell off the balcony at approximately 6:25pm EST. 17 year old Matt James, an offensive lineman at St. Xavier High School in Cincinnati, committed to play football for the Fighting Irish in the fall, died Friday, April 2, when he fell from the third-floor balcony of a Florida Day’s Inn hotel room he was staying at with some friends.  The 6’6, nearly 300lb James, who was an all-state lineman and a member of St. Xavier’s basketball team, was on spring break in Panama City Florida when he fell off the balcony at approximately 6:25pm EST.

A Look Ahead at the Final Four

March is nearly over, but the madness continues.  After 30 days of edge of your seat action and buzzer beater upsets, the stage is set for the 2010 Final Four.  On Saturday, April 3, 2010, the basketball action continues with #5 Michigan State taking on #5 Butler and #2 West Virginia battling with #1 Duke, for a shot at a birth in the 2010 NCAA Championships in Indianapolis.

Tim Tebow to Become a Patriot?

Decorated Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow recently met with representatives from the New England Patriots, causing many to speculate that he will be donning the Pat's blue on draft day.  Coach Bill Belichick has 3 second round picks at his disposal, and would almost certainly use one of those to snag the big QB, who despite his BCS title and Heisman trophy, has taken a lot of flack about not being able to make it in the NFL due to his unconventional throwing motion.  Tebow however, has reportedly spent the last two months working on his mechanics, and the unconventional Belichick could be just the person to take a gamble on drafting him.

Why the Tiger Bashing Can't Last

Since Tiger’s infamous car crash and the subsequent revelation of his infidelity in November of last year, we’ve been subjected to five months of endless rants on every aspect of the scandal from just about every person on TV or Radio.  We all know what I’m talking about; the constant Tiger jokes by standup guys and late night hosts (my personal favorite: Bush took to being president like Tiger Woods took to marriage), the boycott of his sponsors by family values supporters and religious purists, the speculation about Elin assaulting him that night, the website by one of his mistresses exposing Tiger’s dirty text messages to her, and so on.  Hell even last week’s South Park episode on Comedy Central got most of its laughs at Tiger Woods’ expense.            

Toronto Maple Leafs Set to Join PGA?

Ok so maybe the title isn’t completely accurate, and maybe writing an article about the long-time champions of the Eastern Conference basement is a little asinine, but as of Tuesday night’s loss to the Atlanta Thrashers, the Toronto Maple Leafs were once again mathematically eliminated from the NHL playoff race.  While every team struggles now and again, the loss to Atlanta marks the fifth straight season that the boys in blue will hit the greens rather than the ice in late April and May. With all this practice time, maybe Tiger should be worried Thomas Kaberle or Nikolai Kulemin will upstage him next month at the Masters.
