I know, I know. I'm really slacking. For those of you who read on a regular basis, I really do apologize that I didn't get a column up all this week. I really do intend to put up 3 per week but running your own law practice gets kind of time consuming. I will do my best though to post as much as possible. And as always, thanks for taking the time to read. And now, on to the week in sports followed by my favorite pictures and favorite videos of the week.

This week in sports we learned that the Sixers are relevant again, the Orlando Magic are pathetic, the Celtics are real deal, it's good to be named Edwin....well at least if you're a baseball player, Brian Urlacher is sensitive, being the wealthiest man in Russia doesn't do any good for you in the draft lottery, interleague play brings out the worst in the Phillies, Tiger Woods is finally coming back...again, Steve Nash got seriously injured....again, even though I don't like the NHL - the Flyers are making a historically impressive run, Dirk wants out of Dallas, Worldwide Wes is the ruler of the world and will be the determining factor in where Lebron plays in 2010, David Ortiz isn't quite dead yet, Mark Teixeira may very well be, Carlos Zambrano definitely is, and Phil Jackson is about to win his 11th NBA ring and move back to Chicago to return the Bulls to glory......um, as long as a certain someone goes with him. 


Pictures Of The Week


Remember when they were just the 2 little wholesome twins of Danny Tanner? Yea, I didn't like those days as much either. 

Possibly the strangest piece of art I've seen in a while. I guess the artist was trying to capture the beauty of the aftermath of a cumshot?? I'll put him down on my list of people I'd like to interview someday soon so I can find out.

The 7 inch high heels were definitely necessary for the beach. Her "outfit" would've looked so ridiculous without them. On second thought, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that no one on the beach even noticed she had feet, let alone high heels covering her feet. 
stretch

The Loch Ness Bobb Monster. How the fuck do these things get so big? Do you think she lends some out to flat girls in need? Actually, there should be a charity called Flat Girls In Need, and I vote her as the first donor. 
tbumpas


Maybe she's not a whore. Maybe she's just on the ground searching for the other 3/4's of her shorts. Naaaa, she's just a whore. 


Forget making PC look like a dork with processor issues...... This is how you sell a fuckin' computer. Steve Jobs really is a genius. 




I bet she's with him cause he's her soulmate.

Not attractive at all. A 4 at best. And that's only with clothes on to cover up the tummy. But bless the lord for girls like this because at 2 in the morning, when the bar lets out at college, and you still haven't found someone to take home........She's a pretty safe bet. 



I'm not a father yet. And I'm all for fun and games with the kids. But this may be a little too dangerous.



I've always wondered what it would look like to see an obese girl plop her fat rolls down on a wooden pole. And now I know. Do you think that big bruise was brought on by her fat cells beating up the few normal cells that she has left?



If you thought that last one made you queasy then before you scroll down make sure you aren't eating like egg salad or anything like that. 


ZOOM IN......OOOOOOOOOHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

As always, thanks for taking the time to read, and now, on to the week in sports followed by my favorite pictures and favorite videos of the week.

This week in sports we learned that having the best player on the planet doesn't always mean you have the best team, hockey is kinda fun sometimes even if you're a normal American like me, Canadians are prone to injury when playing basketball but thankfully Steve Nash is tough enough to play through it, the LA Dodgers are finally over the divorce of their parents, The Cincinnati Reds (like i said in my preview) are here to stay, the Padres are probably not, the A's are most definitely not, Bynum's knee is worse than people are letting on, the Celtics ain't dead....yet, the Spurs 100% are, the Flyers are miraculous, the Bruins are too......but in a completely different kind of way, Germany's World Cup hopes are over - ha fuck them, Pat the Bat is now Pat the Guy Who Will Be Banging Tons Of Girls Across Rural America While Playing In The Minors, horse racing became so irrelevant that I not only didn't bet on Preakness but I didn't even realize it happened until 5 hours after the race was over, Sports Illustrated's Peter King believes that the Green Bay Packers are the NFL's best team, and Sports Illustrated's Peter King is currently on vacation with Ricky Williams in the tropics with immense amounts of medical marijuana. Ok, well that last part probably isn't true. But it definitely might be.

I don't even have an Asian fetish, they just keep finding me. Must be that Samurai magic or some shit


What's not to love about this picture? Great all around. Especially the fact that she's smiling and probably thinking, "It's usually more salty and warmer."
chicko


Normal girls who are this hot have such an advantage in life. Like being able to wear dumb ass burberry earmuffs when it's hot outside and no one caring cause they can't stop staring at the rest of her.

Then you have the ones like her who are either in porn already or about to be in the next 6 months. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Is anyone out there willing to bet me that she's not a high priced escort? Anyone? I'll give 5-1 odds. 10-1 odds. Yea, didn't think so. It's kinda obvious.

If I met her in this way, I would like to think I would say this. "Nice headlights. On the car I mean. Ha who am I kidding, we both know I meant you."  


Biker crews are pretty ugly awful people. But they do play fun games it looks like. 



Run away winner for t-shirt I would most like to see worn by a hot girl at a bar. 



Ben Roethlisberger's next victim. You know there will be one. 




Doesn't she look a little too wholesome to be wearing this shirt? 



Just what this bitch needed, another fuckin chicken nugget.




I guess you gotta respect a father who's not afraid to show the children which one he likes the least.

NBA Playoffs - Conference Finals Preview




EASTERN CONFERENCE


(2) Orlando Magic  vs.  (4) Boston Celtics
Prediction – Celtics in 7


**Rd 2 Predictions**
Cavs in 5 (you all know how that went)
Magic in 7 (didnt know the hawks were dead)



-I thought the 2010 Celtics were too old. I thought they weren't good enough anymore. I thought they wouldn't have enough left in the tank to get past D-Wade in the first round. I thought Lebron would mop the floor with them in the second round. Frankly, I thought wrong. This team of cagey vets hit their stride at the exact right time and now look just good enough to give Laker fans something to worry about. KG is back to his usual dominating defense, Pierce and Allen are capable of scoring 25 any night, and Rajon Rondo has taken over as the best all around player on the team. The way they dismantled the Cavs 3 straight games was probably the most shocking thing I've seen in the playoffs since the Golden State Warriors knocked off the top seeded Dallas Mavs a few years back. Extremely impressive to see a team that looked like it's run had come to an end gather itself and elevate it's game to a level that no one thought they had left in 'em. Not even Bill Simmons, the biggest Celtic fan of em all, thought they had any chance in hell of knocking off The King and his mighty Cavs. Look, I know that Orlando has dominated 8 straight playoff games and hasn't lost a basketball game since April 2nd. I also know that Rashard Lewis is gonna be a matchup nightmare for Boston. But, I just think the Celtics have something special. There's something about this team that makes me think as good as Orlando has been all year, they can't beat the Celtics 4 times in 7 games. And really, besides everyone in the Disney World area, who the fuck wants to see Orlando in the finals again? Exactly. If Orlando does go on to take this series it'll be because Rashard Lewis shoots the lights out and draws KG out of the paint. KG isn't young anymore. He won't be able to hang with Rashard on the perimeter. If Lewis isn't shooting the rock well it'll play right into Garnett's hands and the Celtics should be able to dominate. I think we're in for a 7 game war, but when it's all said and done, Boston will march on to play in the Finals for the second time in three years. 


WESTERN CONFERENCE


(1) Los Angeles Lakers  vs.  (3) Phoenix Suns
Prediction – Lakers in 6


**Rd 2 Predictions**
Lakers in 6 (swept a tough jazz team)
Spurs in 7 (im still shocked by this one)

-Forget the Lakergirls, who the hell is this Asian chick with the huge boobs? Anyway, the Lakers have been the best, most talented, most unstoppable team in the league for the past 2 years. Kobe is an assassin. Pau is the most offensively gifted post player in the world. Artest can lock down any scoring forward he plays against. Bynum is too big and too strong down low. And Odom too. Just too much to deal with. Personally, I think they should let Bynum sit out this series, and possibly even have surgery if the Doc says he can make it back in 2 weeks. He's a big time player to lose, but they won't need Bynum for this series. Next series, they're gonna need him. Big time. The Suns are a tremendous story. Steve Nash is the one of the most impressive athletes alive. A 5' 11" 36 year old Canadian should not be able to do what Steve Nash does. He makes passes that no man should be able to make. His shooting percentages are matched only by those of Larry Bird. He just put a B-level talented team on his tiny Canadian back and absolutely murdered one of the two great dynasties of our generation. I still can't believe the Suns swept the Spurs. This Phoenix team really has something, let's just hope no one asks to see Nash's green card. I would soooo badly love to see him knock off the Lakers and go on to win his first NBA crown. He deserves it. He's earned it. He probably should've won one already. But even he, very possibly the best point guard alive, is not going to be able to dethrone The Black Mamba. I think this will be a fantastically exciting series. Very high scoring, lots of "Wow" plays, and obviously an injury to Nash. If the Suns stand any chance of winning this series, Jason Richardson is gonna have to blow up. When he scores 20+ the Suns can't be beat. If he's playing well and forces Kobe or Artest to cover him, that opens up Dudley, Frye, and Hill to shoot open threes all day. And believe it or not, Robin Lopez is probably the 3rd most important player for the Suns in this series (after Nash and Jrich). Lopez is the only guy who's got a shot to stop Pau down low. Not a great shot, but a shot nonetheless. I hope and pray that the Lakers lose. I really do. But they won't. Kobe isn't Lebron. He won't let it happen. 

The 2010 NBA Finals 



Unless we're talking about who you'd rather bang. Then there can be 2.

Top 15 WORST NFL Draft Picks of the Decade


How funny is this picture in hindsight?

With the recent announcement that Jamarcus Russell was cut by the Oakland Raiders, I started to think about who the worst NFL Draft picks were from the last decade (1998-2007 cause '08 and '09 can't be determined as of yet). In order to qualify as a Top 15 Worst NFL Draft pick, you had to have been picked in the top 5 of your draft class. Why, you ask? Well those guys were almost all drafted to horrible teams who were desperately in need of a young stud to build a team around. Those horrible teams gave a ton of guaranteed money to this top 5 pick thinking he was the man for the job. Clearly it didn't work out as planned. So who would be more qualified for the title of Worst Draft Pick? And really for the title of Most Likely To Be Killed By An Enraged Fan If Seen Alone On The Street.

When you take the time to do the research and really look into it, you realize that most of these GM's who are supposed to be these "Talent Guru's" don't really know dick. The failure rate on first round draft picks, especially top 5 picks, is flat out frightening. It's immensely frustrating because what other job in the world could you be one of only 32 people qualified, but in reality not be any better than you or I? Take your time. Think about it. Got it yet?..........NONE!! Exactly. It pisses me off daily that 20 of these 32 morons, I mean men, make like a million plus a year and suck big hairy elephant balls at doing their job. A job that mostly all of us would kill for. And be better at. Anyway, there's been so many horrible picks this past decade, but here are the 15 worst I came up with.

First off here's the number of 1st round Pro Bowlers from each draft over the last decade (plus 2 years):
1998 - 10 (definitely the worst draft despite having the best player come out of it - Peyton Manning
1999 - 14
2000 - 13
2001 - 16
2002 - 10 (out of the top 6 the only player who is any good at all is Julius Peppers)
2003 - 13
2004 - 14
2005 - 10
2006 - 11
2007 - 8
2008 - 5 **atleast 5 more to come in the next 2 years out of this group (Ryan, McFadden, Mayo, McKelvin, Stewart, Flacco, Otah, F. Jones, Mendenhall, Keller)
2009 - 4 **atleast 5 more to come in the next 3 years out of this group (Stafford, Sanchez, J. Smith, Curry, Crabtree, Moreno, Maclin, Pettigrew, Oher)

Now, on to the WORST. First off, the Honorable Mentions:

Honorable Mention BUSTS

*Yes, her bust is most definitely honorable. And also worth a mention


Dewayne Robertson (NYJ, 4th, 2003)
-16 total sacks in 6 NFL seasons. Bum. I may have been able to accidentally get 16 sacks over that many years.

Reggie Bush (NO, 2nd, 2006)
-Only because he was supposed to be the next Barry Sanders and he's now the #2 RB on his own team. He's decent but nowhere near his expectation level. He's not even good enough to keep a Kardashian happy.

Gaines Adams (TB, 4th, 2007)
-Not real fair because tragically he died at a very young age, but even when he played he had no production and was traded for a 4th rd pick only 2 years after being taken 4th overall. Was that too much? Too soon? Sorry to the Adams family and not the one that names their kids after days of the week.

Glenn Dorsey (KC, 5th, 2008)
-Wasn't he supposed to be the next coming of Warren Sapp? Dude has 2 sacks in 2 years. Awesome. I wonder who KC fans hate more, him or Brody Croyle.

Cedric Benson (Chi, 4th, 2005)
-Ironically he recently turned out to be a real good player, but in Chicago he was as worthless as the 5 you drunkenly brought home from the bar who wouldn't sleep with you. Or even blow you. And that was putting it gently.

Alex Smith (SF, 1st, 2005)
-I guess the jury is still out on him, but I don't see him ever being a productive NFL quarterback. And certainly never worthy of a number 1 draft pick. Or even oxygen at times.

The Biggest BUSTS


Beach balls


Basketballs


Soccer balls


Bowling balls



Volley balls


Blue balls.......if you stare too long








Ohhhhh, wait, I didn't mean those kind of busts. My bad. Ok here are the Top 15 NFL Draft Busts since 1998


15. Mike Williams (Buf, 4th, 2002)

This 6 foot 7 inch behemoth of a man was supposed to be the anchor of the Buffalo Bills line for a decade. Two years, and about 50 sacks allowed later, Williams was sent packing and was out of the league for 5 seasons. He was picked up by Washington last year due to a ton of injuries on their line. He still wasn't a starter. How does a team miss so badly on a pick? The 4th overall pick of the draft lasted about as long as an undrafted rookie free agent. Maybe the Bills should stop allowing 95 year old Marv Levy to make their decisions.

14. Quentin Jammer (SD, 5th, 2002)


The fifth and final pick of the worst top 5 of all time (4 of the top 5 of the 2002 draft were complete busts, and are on this list). Jammer has less career interceptions (14) than millions of dollars in signing bonus (14.5). Exactly what fans are looking for in their top 5 pick. At least Jammer led the league in one stat for two straight years.....most pass interference calls against. Way to go Quentin.

13. Robert Gallery (Oak, 2nd, 2004)
(L-R), Peter Moore, Vice President, Worldwide Publishing and Marketing, Robert Gallery of the Oakland Raiders and President of Electronic Arts Worldwide Studios, Don Matrick attends the E3 Xbox Press Conference to introduce the new Xbox 360 at Shrine Auditorium, on May 16, 2005 in Los Angeles, California.

Not only has Gallery been a tremendous disappointment in Oakland, but what makes things worse is that the other 7 picks in the top 8 of the 2004 draft are all perennial probowlers. Gallery came in as the expected rock of the of the Oakland line. Within 1 season he lost his job as the starting left tackle and got shifted to guard so that he couldn't fuck up as much. Really the only reason he wasn't outright released was because he made too much guaranteed money and would have been too big of a salary cap hit if let go. At least he's not ugly. Hahahah.

12. Gerard Warren (Cle, 3rd, 2001)


This "Don't you ever fuck with me" looking, mammoth of a man was fairly decent, never good, and certainly never close to great. 32 sacks in 9 NFL seasons, and about 107,000 headaches to his teammates, coaches, GMs, and owners. Not the worst pick ever, but when you are drafted 3rd overall a little more is expected of you. Oh yea, and perennial probowl linemen Justin Smith and Richard Seymour were taken 4th and 6th respectively. Who was 5th you ask? Just some bum named Ladainian Tomlinson.

11. Peter Warrick (Cin, 4th, 2000)


First team All American 2 years in a row, set Florida State's receiving touchdowns record at 32, led his team to 2 National Championship games, and looked like a can't miss guaranteed stud playmaker at the next level. He may have ended up being a stud, I just can't tell because I can't find stats for the Las Vegas Gladiators, Montreal Alouettes, California Redwoods, and Bloomington Extreme. Those are the teams he's played for since being released from Cincy after 4 disappointing years that saw him find the endzone a total of 10 times. Another glorious Florida State Alum.

10. Andre Wadsworth (Ariz, 3rd, 1998)


I'm guessing he didn't think this was going to be his hardest hit in the NFL. Too bad for him, and his wallet, that it was. By far. He was regarded as the only "sure thing" in the 1998 Draft, the draft that featured Peyton Manning, and he finished his career with 8 total sacks. For those counting at home, that's roughly $4 million per sack. At least he looks menacing. And can crush a football.

9. Charles Rogers (Det, 2nd, 2003)


Ummmm, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's a bad thing when the first google image that pops up for you is a mugshot. Especially when you're a famous football player. Playin' at Michigan State, Rogers looked like the next Randy Moss. When he got to the league......not so much. His first 3 years resulted in 2 broken collarbones, 3 failed drug tests, and a 4 game suspension. He forfeited $8.5 million of his signing bonus, came back, and then rallied for an incredible 197 yards and 1 touchdown.

8. Curtis Enis (Chi, 5th, 1998)


Hahaha, he looks like a defensive tackle running with the ball after picking up a fumble. This dude was a top 5 draft pick from an incredibly talented school and somehow looks like he swallowed his younger brother. Or maybe older fatter brother. Enis played 36 games in 3 years, scored 4 touchdowns, and didn't even crack 1,500 total rushing yards for his career. Great success.

7. Joey Harrington (Det, 3rd, 2002)


Easily the douchiest looking, gayest named quarterback ever drafted in the top 3. How could the Lions have seen this kid at the combine next to real athletes and thought to themselves, "Oh my, we need to take Joey. He almost can do 2 pushups and constantly makes faces like he's complicated." Needless to say, it didn't work out. 3 years and less than 10 wins later, Harrington was benched for Jeff Garcia. Ladies and gentlemen, Detroit Lions Football. Someone explain to me how the fuck Matt Millen kept his job for as long as he did? I'll never understand professional sports owners.

6. Tim Couch (Clev, 1st, 1999)


Yea, sure, pick of the retarded litter. At least you can't say that they made the wrong choice. Either one would've been a complete fuckin' disaster. Couch's career lasted 4 and a half seasons, not one of which being a winning season, and his career numbers were about as good as mine would have been. Only 64 touchdowns with 67 interceptions, and a QB rating of 75. Good stuff Mr. Couch. You made Ashley Judd proud.

5. Courtney Brown (Clev, 1st, 2000)


Playing at Linebacker U, Brown took over the team and the spotlight as a defensive end. He was a first team All American and Defensive Lineman of the year his senior season. The Browns took him #1 overall in a fairly loaded draft based in large part because Brown set an NCAA record of 33 sacks and 70 tackles for loss. Of course that led to a whopping 19 sacks in 8 seasons in the NFL. You disappoint me Courtney. You disappoint all of Nittany Lion country.

4. David Carr (Car, 1st, 2002)


Being drafted 1st overall to an expansion team and being given the reins to that team immediately certainly has its perks. Like getting $10 million per season and roughly that many girls as well. It also comes with expectations. And those expectations were definitely not going 4-12, 2-14, 6-10, and 6-10 before being benched so the team can sign a free agent QB, Matt Schaub, for over $100 million. If his goal coming into the league was to ruin the first decade of Texans football, the kid was super successful. Way to go David.

3. Akili Smith (Cin, 3rd, 1999)


Whenever you play more seasons for the Calgary Stampeders than the NFL team that drafted you 3rd overall, you are a safe bet to be one of the worst draft picks of all time. In 4 seasons Smith started 17 games and threw for 5 touchdowns with 13 interceptions. Look at the picture, even Jon Kitna and David Klinger were embarrassed to be associated with him. Maybe he taught some NFL teams a lesson - it's probably not a good idea to draft someone 3rd overall when they've only had 11 collegiate starts. Gotta love that NFL intelligence.

2. Ryan Leaf (SD, 2nd, 1998)


The poster child for how to completely fuck up your franchise for about 5 years. In the "What if" game in the NFL draft, the question of, "what if the Colts took Leaf over Manning in 1998" has to take the cake. Leaf has the pleasure of owning the title of the only quarterback ever who's career QB rating was almost less than his first contract (50.0 rating and $32 million contract). Oh yea, not to mention he was the craziest quarterback ever drafted into the league. Fun times all around.

1. Jamarcus Russell (Oak, 1st, 2007)

The kid was drafted out of LSU in 2007 where he led his college team to a National Championship. When he signed for $41 million guaranteed he looked like the savior of the Raiders (the pic on the left) but he ended up turning out to be a fat, overpaid, garbage quarterback (the pic on the right) who couldn't even beat out Bruce Gradkowski for the starting job in Oakland. If I was an Oakland fan I would file a private criminal complaint against Russell for stealing that $41 million. I'm not sure he will ever get another contract offer let alone make it in the league for more than a few more seasons. I would say that he'll be fine cause he already got that $41 million but with an appetite like that, who knows? Readers of Sports and Shit, let's clap it up for the Worst NFL Draft Pick of The Decade. And probably of all time.
