How many times have we all wanted to see “the game” on TV and when we tune in the sports channel we are left in awe at the ridiculous program they are transmitting because it ain’t even a sport. I mean, come on seriously. The whoring of sports lies heavily on the corporate sponsorships and media venues that support this vicious cycle. Usually we are not disturbed when we are talking about major sports such as: Football, Basketball, Baseball, Tennis, etc., being sponsored and broadcasted, but it gets to a point that it’s just ridiculous. I am referring to when you see some of these so called “sports events” with huge sponsors and somehow make it to TV on channels that label themselves as “The Worldwide Leader In Sports”. So, in honor of ESPN killing the fabric of...
Jose Canseco was one of these players that back in the day you thought he was going to be great. But later on he was a hot potato, everybody was trading him, and Canseco was all over North America. In Oakland to Texas, to Boston, to Oakland again, to Toronto (Canada), to Tampa, to NY and Chicago.
Obviously during the 90’s the economy was so awesome that we could trade goods and services for dollars or Canseco. Among Canseco’s many accomplishments were: dating Madonna (a walking Petri dish), arrested with his brother for a nightclub brawl (probably due to ‘roid rage), arrested for trafficking illicit substances and accused of hitting women (apparently his stats are more impressive in this department) instead of baseballs. Here at butthead sports.com we would like to congratulate...
Make us talk about you for the right reasons
I’m so tired of people complaining and having debates about Boise State not being in the BCS championship game because they are “undefeated”. I put that in quotes because their definition of undefeated is beating up on high school teams that no one has heard of. Supposed sports analysts actually consider the schedule that Boise State plays as a legitimate test of skill for a Division I college football team? There is a huge difference between the Idaho Vandals and LSU for example… Boise State is constantly injected into the debate by some idiot who wants to make noise…by someone who wants to be “different” or “thinking out of the box”. Child Please. There is no comparison between Boise State...
Brad "Chilli" Childress
… especially when Brett Favre isn’t going to be serving it up for long. The Minnesota Vikings signed Brad “Chilli” Childress to a contract extension through 2013 this past week, saying they were happy with his performance and all the same lame old talk. Is this not the same Chilli that was there before Brett Favre joined the Vikes? Do they think that everyone forgot about those years? The main complaint of Vikings fans was that the play calling was in the crapper…too conservative, too safe and down right boring (I do hear these complaints every Monday from my hardcore Vikes fans friends) not to mention the countless people calling him a clown and a bearded little girl. Does the Vikings organization really think that the vast...
Tom Selleck is jealous
I’m glad that Adam Morrison has put his $5.3 Mil. that he is making this year to good use…he got a haircut. I recently saw that Morrison is making 5.3 Million dollars this year. Yes I said million and yes I said dollars. The Lakers must really like the heat that comes from his ass to warm the bench. Consider this, Josh Powell + Shannon Brown + DJ Mbenga + Jordan Farmar = One Adam Morrison. Players that actually contribute: score points, rebound and know what an NBA basketball feels like, are making 20% of what Mr. Mustache does. Morrison was player of the year in college, and yet has been a complete failure in the NBA. Why is it that national players of the year seem to be a bust on a constant basis? Or rather, why is it that high draft picks are making...
Pau "Big Bird" Gasol
Buttheadsports.com sources are confirming the rumor that Pau Gasol actually sustained his hamstring injury while acting on the set of the popular TV series CSI:Miami. Pau played the role of “Victor” an innocent driver that gets into a car accident. Although many thought that the hamstring was pulled while he was playing the corpse in the morgue and then abruptly got up after the director yelled “Cut!” , that has proved to be untrue as he is not Greg Oden (tore his meniscus after getting up off the couch). The real story is that Pau’s acting was so bad that his body reacted violently to what it thought was some kind of foreign substance poisoning. In an attempt to prevent himself from doing any further harm, Pau’s immune...
The logo should be in wooden vinyl
I was reading an article recently in ESPN the magazine while waiting at the doctor’s office for my colonoscopy, reporting that the Cowboys have the highest total number of items sold and highest earnings from NFL team gear on E-bay. This is really amazing to me. I know that the ‘Boys are supposedly “America’s team” and the whole nine yards, but why? Everyone knows the they have been down for a while, and their troubles well documented and reported, but think about this: The Cowboys still are the favorite team in America, but who are their fans? You know those towns in the mid America that started booming in the late 70’s or 80’s, were built with the latest materials (wood look vinyl) and were state of the art?...
One and the same
Buttheadsports.com insiders have broke the story on the everlasting Griffin-Davis debate. This mind boggling issue can now be put to rest since we can now confirm that Peter Griffin and Baron Davis are indeed the same person. The signs were everywhere, yet no one could say without a doubt that these two were in fact one. They both have the same build: stubby; they both make extremely irrational decisions that defy all logic: in any family guy episode, or when Peter – excuse me Baron, decided to join the Clippers and in our never before seen footage to your left…. The pubic hair beards!!
This was the major slip up to reveal the identities. Peter went out on the town, removing all of his black make-up and boosters in his shoes (that’s how he was taller and...
Eric "Baby Face" Snow
Eric Snow will always be remembered in my mind as a guy who looked like he was 14 and played like he was 74. His baby face was misleading to say the least as his footwork did all the talking…the killer crossovers, the ankle breakers and the in-your-face dunks that he was constantly on the receiving end of…Yet somehow, his brilliant editor has been able to spin this career into “Eric Snow- Leader Among Giants”. Is it the mind boggling stats? No. Is it the amazing leadership? No. Maybe its all those titles he won…zero to be exact. Somehow, some way he has a book out teaching leadership!
I read through the description and he’s already dropping gems like “Eric Snow has played with and has had incredible success against...
That looks like a familiar pose
I think we should replace the name of ‘God’ on our green backs with ‘LeBron’. I mean they do kinda rhyme, and right now he already has a temple at ESPN. Am I being idiotic, or does it seem like when we thought Lebron couldn’t get any bigger or more talked about in the NBA, now ESPN brings up a story out of the blue titled ‘Would LeBron dominate the NFL?’ btw here’s the link: LeBron in the NFL
ARE YOU FREAKIN kidding me??!!! They have interviews with NFL players about it and all…. Is the rest of the sports world so boring, that we have to invent absurd scenarios about LeBron now? I hear Kobe played ping pong once when he was 4… will he be able to dominate the pro table tennis circuit in the far...
