a picture is worth a thousand beers

they don't shoot 'em like they used to

it's time for everyone's favorite game...gang member, or nfl player?

The latest story out of the NFL that doesn't involve Brett Favre (yes, there actually is one) is that the league has decided to hire "experts" to watch player celebrations and determine if they are using "gang signs." What exactly constitutes a gang sign? Does the Dirty Bird count? Unfortunately, the NFL is arriving late to the athlete-gang sign party, tennis was already there 6 years ago. And who are these so-called experts? Jumbo? Dig Dug? Low Down Lemar? I think we're going to need gang sign review challenges.

what if vijay was a flounder

This (horrifying/hilarious) picture of Vijay Singh is from a CNBC documentary about video games. It's the scanned 3D image of Vijay's head and face before it's put on a computer model for EA Sports Tiger Woods PGA Tour. Where can I find everyone else's splattered head photos? I need to see more of these.

you might be a backup quarterback if...

Video of Aaron Rodgers offering to autograph some kid's football during a celebrity golf tournament in Lake Tahoe this past weekend. Not only does the kid not want his autograph, he recoils in fear when Rodgers approaches him. Ouch. Yup, still not the starting quarterback.

darkmane really shaun white?

The commercials running for the X-Games this summer are featuring an X-Games villain of sorts named "Darkmane." This character looks like it could be Shaun White in a ridiculous costume. If you look at the style, shape, and texture of the hair in both pictures it is very similar. This would mean that his trademark "Flying Tomato" red hair has been died black. This scenario is likely because: A. Shaun White has grown tired of the nickname Flying Tomato (as he has pointed out in interviews) and was probably looking for a way to get rid of it, and B. ESPN would love to have the publicity stunt of White having dyed his hair during the X-Games because it's basically the Shaun White-Games. He's the only "extreme" athlete with true mainstream appeal and ESPN knows it. There's also this blog post on Darkmane's "myspace page" which says Shaun White has been on TV recently with fake hair. Hmmmm......
