Ever dreamed of living in the same house where Ferris Bueller‘s hypochondriac buddy Cameron used to lay around masturbating all day?  Well, now you can stop dreaming…cause the Highland Park, IL house where they shot that is up for sale on realtor.com.  They’re asking $2.3 million for it, so I guess you’ll have to dip into that big-ass jar of pennies you’ve been filling since you were six. And yes, the listing does mention that they filmed Ferris Bueller’s Day Off there.  The area is heavily-wooded just like in the movie, which makes it a perfect spot for nature lovers and [...]

Jose Canseco got destroyed in his MMA debut by something called Hong Man Choi.  Dude, Hong Man Choi?  You see that guy?  His name should be Hong Men Choi.  He’s equal to at least two. I hope Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens see this video.  It ought to give them a good chuckle.  Unless steroids robs you of your ability to feel amusement.

Royals manager Trey Hillman has joined a dubious fraternity that also includes Bill Romanowski and Roberto Alomar: Kansas City Royals skipper, Trey Hillman was ejected in the 8th inning of today’s 13-1 Tigers victory for arguing what looked like a rain-induced, “let’s hurry this game up,” punch out from home plate umpire, Paul Emmel. After Emmel punched out William Bloomquist (who K’ed three times) on a low and outside slider from Zach Miner, Hillman said something to the affect of “Wrong call, blue,” and Emmel took exception by throwing him out of the game.  Hillman came running out of the [...]

The Tampa Bay Rays are trying to roll without their closer Troy Percival and, uh, it’s not working out so well. Like, Monday night against the Indians, they were up 10-4 going into the 9th, and three guys including former Cardinals closer Jason Isringhausen surrendered 7 runs, giving Cleveland an 11-10 win.  The Rays are now a game under .500 and in danger of being buried by the Red Sox and Yankees.  Looks like the order of the universe has been restored.

I believe I predicted the other day that the series would go back to L.A. 2-2.  And so it will.  Even though Carmelo was puking his guts out before the game.  It helped that J.R. Smith decided to show up.  He was so MIA, I was afraid we’d have to send in Chuck Norris to find him.

Terrell Owens is not done bashing Tony Romo, as this recent T.O. tweet attests: @noelheller neither ws i, blame the OC & romo!! but i’m happy 2 b where i am but i miss the other guys tht were & r true teammates!! Yes, that is the real Terrell Owens Twitter account (you think I’m going to get burned again so soon after being duped by the fake Skip Bayless?).  He tweeted his negative feelings about Romo and “the OC” Jason Garrett (not the TV show; that would’ve been kinda funny though random) in response to one of his followers [...]

In honor of Memorial Day, Pacman Jonesin’ presents the 10 Greatest War Movie Death Scenes (that I could find video of on YouTube). 10.  Red Dawn.  C. Thomas Howell v. bad-ass Russian helicopter.  What this movie taught me about a possible Soviet invasion:  it will happen in Colorado, and the only resistance will be led by Ponyboy and Darrel from The Outsiders. 9.  All Quiet on the Western Front.  Lew Ayres owned by sniper during moment of poignant tenderness.  Poetic juxtapositions are a bitch.
