You pretty much have to guard Devin Harris from end line to end line, cause that dude can nail it from anywhere on the court.  What makes this particular shot – which beat the Philadelphia 76ers – even sicker was that Harris lost the ball while clearly being fouled, then had no chance to really set himself and had to fire up a runner.  Dat’s gettin’ it done, big D.

The world’s most famous allegedly virginal Victoria’s Secret model, Adriana Lima, has reportedly eloped with her long-time man-squeeze Marko Jaric.  “We are so excited about our future together,” Lima said in a statement. “And we are really looking forward to a big romantic wedding this summer with all of our friends and family.”  The big romantic wedding will take place either in Adriana’s native Brazil or Marko’s native Serbia…in either case, a more romantic setting than Jackson Hole, Wyoming, which is where the two reportedly made it legal. Yeah, that’s right – there’s a bed at the Ramada Inn in [...]

LenDale White was investigated by Denver police after a white male named Leslie Joe Hoch accused the Titans running back of shoving him and whipping him with a belt during a traffic-related altercation earlier this month.  Fortunately for LenDale, the authorities have elected not to pursue charges; unfortunately for LenDale, the NFL tends to be strict about its players not whipping folks with belts, and will make their own determination about possible penalties.  All I want to know is, was LenDale wearing a bra when he hit the guy with the belt?  I’m just curious.

Charles Barkley will sit in jail for five days as a consequence of pleading guilty to drunk driving, and will also pay a $2000 fine and enter an alcohol awareness program.  This after the basketball analyst and noted gambler was suspended by cable network TNT for six weeks over the same offense, a suspension he recently returned from all contrite.  So this is how it works in our society:  If you endanger lives by getting drunk and driving (through stoplights in your haste to receive fellatio), the authorities whose job it is to protect us from you will penalize you [...]

1.  Brad Pitt hates Ryan Seacrest.  Really hates.  Like Shaq hates Kobe.  Like David Wells hates Joe Torre.  Like everyone hates Rory Sabbatini. 2.  Japanese people have a better sense of humor about Styx than I do.  Dennis DeYoung will sue that guy for copyright infringement, you watch. 3.  Alicia Keys is a pretty girl who needs to hire someone new to make her wigs.  Tell her to stay away from whoever makes Beyonce‘s wigs. 4.  Anne Hathaway‘s voice is almost as appealing as her…personality. 5.  Mickey Rourke‘s dog died.  Really?  I hadn’t heard that (NSFW) anywhere before… 6.  French [...]

UConn‘s  Jim Calhoun was confronted during a press conference the other day by a commie agitator who tried to make the legendary coach feel guilty about being well-compensated in a time of general economic hardship.  Calhoun, who makes $1.6 million/year coaching and lots more from side deals, informed the trouble-maker that the basketball program makes $12 million/year for the university, which more-than-justifies his contract.  And then Calhoun should’ve said, “Now go back to Havana you un-American pile of dung.”  Or something equally colorful.

Alabama offensive tackle Andre Smith stood to make many millions as one of the top picks in this year’s NFL draft.  Then Andre decided to go a little funny in the head at a very inconvenient time – right during the combine, when everyone in the league not to mention thousands of would-be Mel Kipers with blogs were watching – and now Andre’s draft stock is making the regular stock market look like the old stock market before everything went to shit. Memo to Andre:  If you want to impress your future employers, you shouldn’t show up to interviews dressed [...]

Nate Robinson can now check Biff Henderson off his list of people to jump over.  Too bad Larry Bud Melman died or he could’ve jumped over him too.  And Mujibur and Sirajul…what the hell happened to them?  They could use a good jumping over I’m sure.  It goes without saying that Nate should also jump over Paul Shaffer at some point (while Paul plays some jumping over Paul Shaffer music).  And I’m sure Conan O’Brien would love to have Nate come to his new show and jump over some people there.  He could jump over La Bamba and then Conan [...]
