Charles Barkley, Role Model, Nike Commercial

Charles Barkley, Role Model, Nike Commercial. We all remember this beautiful little commercial. Charles Barkley shocked the world by telling us all that he should not be a role model. He gets paid reek havoc on the basketball coat. I am sorry. I meant to type “Court”. He does not get paid to raise our kids.

I kind of agree with Charles, but he is a role model whether he likes it or not.

Charles Barkley vs Godzilla, Nike Commercial

Charles Barkley vs Godzilla, Nike Commercial. I remember when this commercial came out. I thought it would be a little longer, but it was still awesome. I am a huge Auburn fan, so the Round Mound of Rebound is one of my all time favs. Enjoy the video. Godzilla is no match for Charles Barkley.

Season Premier of Oprah, Olympic Athletes, Commercial

Season Premier of Oprah, Olympic Athletes, Commercial. Finally I can get my wife to watch sports. Oprah is so smart. She looks at all the money the Olympics brought in and the ratings, so she “lets” 100 of those athletes come on her show. That is why she is the best. The Premier is September 8th. As J.E. Skeets from Ball Don’t Lie says ,”Set your Tivos”.

Big Papi, David Ortiz Favorite Movies, Sean Casey, Video

Big Papi, David Ortiz Favorite Movies, Sean Casey, Video. The hat tip for this video goes to the best Red Sox blog in the land, Red Sox Monster! What I like best about this video is that it might as well be called Big Papi’s favorite movie. After he names Scarface, it all goes down hill. I am 95 percent sure that when Manny Ramirez stepped on the plain to go to LA that David Ortiz said “Say goodbye to the bad guy”.  I am also 95% sure that he introduces Pedrioa as “His little friend”.

Minor League Durham Bulls Fakeout at Home Plate, Video

Minor League Fakeout at Home Plate, Video. This guy has got some nice moves. Thank you so much Awful Announcing for posting this video and making the Who’s the Boss connection. I actually have a good Tony impression. I only say “Angela, Mona, Samantha, Anthony “. What makes this even better is that it is Durham Bulls Center Fielder Fernando Perez. That is right. It was the Durham Bulls. Do you think Crash Davis taught him this move?

Cincinnati Bearcat Mascot caught in wires SkyDiving, Video

Cincinnati Bearcat Mascot caught in wires SkyDiving, Video. Just like the UNC Duke Skydiving video, this really did happen. I guess we can all answer the age old question, ” What is a Bearcat?” The answer is “stupid”. OUCH! I kid. Hat tip goes to Extra Mustard via Fanhouse.
