Lebron is dancing again


Lebron is just making this too easy now.  He apparently decided to do some aerobics on the Ellen Show, and it wasn't a good decision.  He knows people are going to make fun of him for this stuff, right?  I mean if you are going to be on TV doing some jazzercize at least make sure that you have the steps down.  And obviously it had to be set to some Miami Sound Machine.

Marquette is in the sweet 16, so they made a rap video


Deadspin - Well, since the Big East bellyflopped in the tourney's first weekend, we have two teams—UConn and, uh, Marquette—left reppin' the supposedly superior conference that started with 11 teams on Thursday.
Which means instead of hearing, say, Syracuse grad Lou Reed (or his heirs apparent upstate), you get the mellifluous tones of Marquette's finest, the Spanish O'Donnells. Which is cool if you like autotuned white college rap and hearing the word "buzz" over and over again, usually as a proper noun. But you probably will not like that at all.
What the hell, why not humor the Spanish O'Ds for now? We know John Henson's wingspan will swat the song off the web come Friday night.

What is going on up in Wisconsin that leads to so many people making YouTube rap videos about college and sports?  In the last six months we have multiple videos from the Badger fans, a Packer "Green and Yellow" video (which I almost shouldn't count because there are so many of those, but this was one of the better ones) and now this Marquette "Buzzin'" video.  I guess drinking beer, eating cheese and brats, and making rap videos is just a good time.

Also, it's pretty clear to me after watching this video that UW-Madison has a much better music/web video department than Marquette.  The rapping just isn't as good as "Teach Me How to Bucky" or even that terrible "We're Smelling Roses" song (which clearly should have been named "We Smellin' Roses" to make it seem authentic)It also would have been nice if they put some actual video, in their video.  I will give them some props though, I kind of liked the beat and sample.

The Bulls are so good they are making kids cry


Poor kid.  It's not his fault that his mom brought him to a game they had no chance of winning.  Maybe next time she can bring him to a game against the Wizards or something.

Oh yeah, the Bulls won 114 - 81 and are back in first place by half a game.  They are just killing teams right now, and making it look easy.  There just isn't much more to say about it.

Crazy Euro buzzer beater holds you over until the sweet 16


How about those Euroleague hoops?  I was going through buzzer beater withdrawal yesterday and this cured it four times over.  If this happened during the NCAA Tournament, America would have collectively blown it's load while watching it, and Gus Johnson would have probably exploded while announcing it.

PS - You know there was some degenerate Spanish gambler, who literally had a heart attack while watching this.

Too big, too strong, too fast, too good, Bulls win 50th


When you see the picture of the starters on the bench laughing and clapping, you know the game went well.  The Bulls destroyed the Kings 132-92 and won their 50th game for the first time since 97-98 Bulls won the championship.  Eight players scored in double digits and the starters were on the bench smiling and goofing around for most of the fourth quarter.  

This game basically devolved into a dunk contest for the Bulls players.  Click "Read More" to check out some of the monster dunks after the jump.

We have a new record for a high dive into a shallow pool


BBC - A US shallow diver has broken his own world record by swan-diving 36ft (11m) into a paddling pool containing just 12in (30.5cm) of water.
Darren Taylor, also known as Professor Splash, dived into a pool of near-freezing water in Trondheim, Norway, making the jump his 13th Guinness certified record.
Mr Taylor, who is from Colorado in the US, has 25 years' professional high-diving experience and works as a stunt diver.

Hey Professor Splash, don't shit at shitter..  The "cushion effect" you are talking about is that giant gray gym mat that they put under the pool.  When I was in junior high I would climb that rope in gym class and jump off of it on to one of those things.  It didn't hurt at all because it's a fucking giant pad made to prevent injury.  If you want to impress me, fill up your little kiddie pool in a parking lot with no pad under it, dive into it and then yell "I feel glorious! I feel fantastic! Thank you Norway!".

Is this the greatest offensive foul ever?


If this isn't the best offensive foul ever, it is at least the best one I can think of.  If there has ever been an excusable offensive foul it is this one.  I mean when you have the chance to knock over a 7 footer by slamming your nutsack into their face you just have to do it.
