Mike Blowers Prediction

Sweet video with Mike Blowers, Seattle Mariners radio color announcer, making a pregame prediction that was eerily accurate. Say Mike, you wouldn't happen to know next month's lottery ticket number, would you?

Bill Walton on Boris Diaw

This clip is a little old, but still fantastically awesome.



"When I think of Boris Diaw, I think of Beethoven in the Age of the Romantics."

Frank Caliendo on Inside the NBA

I'm not sure when exactly this was aired, but it's comedian/impersonator Frank Caliendo when he appeared on Inside the NBA with Ernie Johnson, Kenny Smith, and Charles Barkley.

It's worth a listen if only for the amazing impersonations of Sir Charles and Bill Walton. Good stuff.

Milt Palacio Mixtape

Much thanks to Petey for sending this link my way. I guffawed throughout.

As a sidenote, this is my 600th post. Yay me!

Stephen A. Smith Heckled at the NBA Draft

I thoroughly enjoyed this last year, and they're back again heckling Stephen A. at the draft...

"Some people say you are the best forward since Slava Medvedenko."



And of course, the 2006 version:

One final Charles Barkley vs. Dick Bavetta Video

Seriously folks, I can't recommend this highly enough. Maybe it'll be a big letdown and the race and the events surrounding it won't be that funny, but I find that generally anything on TNT that Barkley touches turns to gold... he's absolutely hilarious, and Dick Bavetta seems to have a great sense of humor as well. I think this is going to be hilarious. So here is one final video for you to enjoy, which just sort of ties everything together.

"Hey I can outrun Dick Bavetta right now." - Charles Barkley

The O.J. Mayo Incident

Not sure if this is big news yet or not, but apparently there was a little incident involving one of the top prospects in all of high school basketball, OJ Mayo, and a referee in one of Mayo's games.

Mayo had a pretty nice dunk, then got a technical foul for taunting afterwards. After a little discussion with the referees, Mayo was given a second technical for running his mouth a bit and was ejected from the game.

As you can guess, things didn't end there. Mayo then followed the ref over to the scorer's table, and the two bumped lightly. Or at least that's what it looked like. However the referee took quite a tumble, much to the disbelief of Mayo.

You have to watch the video for yourself, but there are 2 possibilities here:

(1) The refs feet got tangled with Mayo, which could not be seen on camera
OR
(2) The ref is the worst actor in the world.

You decide:

My favorite Sportscenter commerical

Over the past few years ESPN has gone down a bit, but I've always found their Sportscenter commercials to be always rather funny. And here is the one that is probably my favorite:


"GET UP, WALK IT OFF. YOUR PARENTS SIGNED THE PERMISSION SLIP, GET UP MAN."

What's your favorite Sportscenter commercial?

ESPN Sports Montage Video

I don't have much to write about today as I'm currently working on some other stuff (such as an NBA Mock Draft and another big project), so I'll leave you with a video. But before I do that, I will say that if you haven't seen highlights of that Argentina goal today that gave them the win, find it and watch it. I wasn't able to find it online yet, but I'm sure it'll be up somewhere soon.

Anyway, about the video. It's an Sports Montage basically with all of the big sports moments from the 1900s, se to "Dream On" by Aerosmith. Really, it's one of the coolest videos I've ever seen, and if you can spare a few minutes, you really need to watch it. So here it is:

Final 40 seconds of UCLA vs. Gonzaga

It's been a slow day in sports (more on that later), so I'll put up a video here of the final 40 seconds of the UCLA/Gonzaga NCAA Tournament game, in part because I thought it was really awesome! :)
