Is Tim Lincecum just smoking weed right in our face?

Youtube - From Another life twin brothers, Tim Lincecum could give to his twin fan Luiz , a San Francisco taxi driver, a milion dollars to make his dreams come true and soon "JOINT" him for the world biggest soccer tournament event that will take place and his home born country , Rio de Janeiro Brazil. Making friends around the world. Way to go...

Don't shit a shitter.  That is clearly Tim Lincecum doing a terrible accent in this video, not some twin brother from another mother named Luiz.  He is just smoking a joint in the world's face with his bong and bag of weed on the table.  This shouldn't really shock anybody, though.  Dude is clearly a pothead and doesn't really apologize for it.


If that isn't Tim, it has to be the kid from Dazed and Confused, right?  Well, that is at least probably Tim's best defense when MLB knocks on his door.

March Madness is here early, Kemba Walker walks off at MSG

Get off the ground McGhee!!!  You can't get your ankles broken on the last play of the game.  Kemba just killed it.  I hope this is a sign of things to come in this March.

PS - So it seems like its safe to pick Pitt to get upset again early in the tournament, like every year.

Blake Griffin is pimping some guy for the NFL draft

Um, I need that hat and I need it now.  I love the Mars "Blakeman" outfit, but why is he doing this for Jordan Cameron, a projected mid-round draft pick?  Is it just because his name is Jordan and he is in LA by Blake at USC?  Maybe, but it probably has to do something with agents or sponsors or something.

Well at least I know what my Halloween costume is going to be this year.

Oh crap, Boozer is hurt again

 

The Bulls beat the Bobcats last night 101-84 and clinched a playoff spot.  In recent years that would be big news, but not this year.  A lot more is expected of this team.

The one thing that could really derail this team is an injury, so naturally that happened last night.  Carlos Boozer left the court with an injured ankle in the fourth quarter of the game last night.  Which is not really shocking considering Boozer is super injury plagued, but scary none the less.  According to the Bulls, X-rays were negative, and they will re-evaluate him on Thursday.  He is still going to miss some time, but the question is how much.  The Bulls are good enough to survive the regular season without him, but they are going to need him at full strength for any shot at a championship run, which is really what this season has been all about.

Big Ten Tournament bracket and picks

The Big Ten Tournament starts tomorrow, and that's right, I filled out a bracket.  No better way to get ready for the big dance than to practice by filling out a conference bracket a week early.  Please note that I filled it out in pen, so you know that I'm confident.  So let's break down these picks.


Game 1 - #8 Northwestern over #9 Minnesota - The last game Northwestern played they beat Minnesota by 11.  The smart kids at Northwestern have literally been watching Minnesota tape for a week.  You can't give smart kids that much time to study and expect to win.


Game 2 - #7 Michigan State over #10 Iowa - Izzo is not gonna miss this the NCAA Tournament this year without a fight, and Iowa sucks.


Game 3 - #6 Penn State over #11 Indiana - Penn State sneaky doesn't suck and Indiana is really bad at basketball.

Game 4 - #1 Ohio State over #8 Northwestern - The Buckeyes barely got out of Evanston with a win the only time these two played this year.  Sadly for Northwestern that means there is no way Ohio State is going to take this game lightly.


Game 5 - #5 Illinois over #4 Michigan - The Illini won a close game in Champaign the only time these two played this year.  This is a hard pick and should be a really good game.  Illinois usually plays well in the Big Tournament and historically has the best record in it at 23-11.  I'm going with history here.


Game 6 - #2 Purdue over #7 Michigan State - Michigan State really needs this game and it is hard to pick against Izzo this time of year, but Purdue and JaJuan Johnson are going to beat Sparty for the 3rd time this year.


Game 7 - #6 Penn State over #3 Wisconsin - Talor Battle is an under appreciated player, who has been kind of lost in the shuffle while playing for Penn State for the last four years.  The guy is good and he has never played in an NCAA Tournament.  Penn State needs this game to have a chance at the dance.  Wisconsin is only 7-7 when they don't play at the Kohl Center.  The senior Talor Battle and Penn State pull off the upset.


Game 8 - #1 Ohio State over #5 Illinois - For the second consecutive year Ohio State will start my St. Patrick's Saturday off on the wrong foot by beating the Illini.


Game 9 - #2 Purdue over #6 Penn State - Talor Battle is a good senior but JaJuan Johnson is a great senior.  Purdue wins this one pretty easily.


Game 10 - Championship Game - #1 Ohio State over #2 Purdue - The best two teams in the Big Ten all year face off in this game.  This should be a really good game with NCAA Tournament seeding on the line.  But when it comes down to it, Purdue is the second best team in the Big Ten and Ohio State is the best team in the country.  To paraphrase Stacey King, Ohio State is Too Big, Too Strong, Too Fast, Too Good.

At least when Buckeye fans are gloating about this we can all remind them about how their football program is falling apart before our eyes.

Coming Attractions: Derrick Rose

It appears the NBA hype machine is working overtime and producing fake movie trailers for D-Rose now.  It is like David Stern has decided that Derrick Rose being named MVP is best for the league.  Which is probably true.  It would help solidify another bankable superstar in a major market, and the NBA is a star driven league.

But what is going on with the production of this video? I had to watch it three times before I noticed the NBA made it.  The fonts they use just make it seem like some kid made it on his computer at home.  It is still a pretty cool video though, but not as cool as the Adidas commercial from a couple weeks ago. 

Apparently Tom Brady stole those dance moves from Ditka

Everythingisterrible.com

Brady must have been studying this video before he went to Rio because those are basically the exact same moves he was breaking out at Carnival.

More importantly, where the fuck did this video come from?  How have I never seen this before?

This totally explains why the Bears only won one championship in the 80's with all the talent they had.  The coach and the players were just not on the same page.  The players are all Super Bowl Shufflin' around while Ditka is over there doing the Touchdown Hustle.  They were just stepping on each others feet all over the place.  Sad, sad story.
