paul pierce's nickname isn't "the truth", it's "the f*cking truth"
Boston Celtics shooting guard and NBA Finals MVP (yup, I really just wrote that) Paul Pierce appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien this past Thursday night. One of the first things Conan asked him about was where he got the nickname "The Truth." Pierce revealed that about 7 years ago he played a game in L.A. against the Lakers in which he scored over 40 points, and after the game when Shaq was quoted as saying "that guy Pierce, he's the f*cking truth." Pierce made a point of explaining that the original nickname was not just "the truth", but "the bleeping truth." What I want to know is who made Shaq the official nickname giver or the NBA? First this, then he decides Dwyane Wade should be called "Flash." Could there be a more unoriginal and generic nickname for an athlete? Last time I checked Dwyane Wade wasn't a 1950's comic book hero. Shaq, if you're going to hold this responsibility, then you've got to do better. And that's the bleeping truth.

never dine in fear again
Chief's tight end Tony Gonzales phoned into Sportscenter last night to share his harrowing tale of saving someone from choking. Gonzales said it was his "first time, I have never done the Heimlich before." Good to know. According to Gonzales, no one in the restaurant was doing anything when the guy started choking, so he jumped up and ran over to save the day. Pro athletes, is there anything they can't do?

your giambi stache update: 7/3
Hey, if they keep showing extreme close ups of the stache on ESPN, then I have no choice. It looks slightly more menacing in this photo from last night. I guess it's mystical powers are working though, he hit a grand slam in the game.

it's almost too easy
Some custom art for you to enjoy. I would stop making fun of him, but when this face pops up on my TV screen last night, well...
slam dunks, mullets, and girl-dog action on a tuesday night
Anyone who tuned to ESPN2 last night to check out the 2008 City Slam 3-Point, Skills, and Dunk Contest was probably ready to see some ridiculous 720 spinning slams along with some kind of high-jump dunk hybrid event, but thanks to a programming mix-up they were stuck with...The 2008 American Kennel Club World Agility Championships? Really ESPN? Could you possibly have picked two demographics that were further apart? At least the Kennel Club Championships provided this gem, the mullet-filled celebration between owner Joan Meyer and her dog "Neil" (your dog is a world class athlete, and all you could come up with was "Neil"?). You might wonder which gets more grooming attention, the dog or that glorious mullet.
