Funniest video ever

Posted by Alex on March 26, 2009

In no way does this relate to sports.  It’s just funny as all hell.  It’s only 9 seconds long, so worth the view.

Thanks to Seth for finding this gem.

Video: Racism exists. Just ask Ryan Moats.

Posted by Alex on March 26, 2009

Top 11: Activities that are not sports

Posted by Alex on March 26, 2009

In case you missed it from earlier in the week, a repost of this week’s Top 11.

11. Horse racing. Sure, it’s fun to bet on and exciting to watch. But besides literally beating a horse, humans don’t do much to lend themselves to the “sport” of it all. Jockeys simply perform a service, riding and steering the beast in a circle, while the horse does the majority of the work. Plus, have you ever seen a collective group of “athletes” that can excel in any sport while all standing 5′5″ and under? No way. Okay, so female gymnasts may have a case here, but otherwise no.

Dog shows are about as far from sport as you can get, though some would have you believe otherwise. Because competition is combined with slight aerobic activity, by nature you have a sport. Wrong. This is barely leisure, and it’s disappointing that our increasingly obese society has to stoop so low to justify exercise.

Remember the NBA? My trip to a Blazers game.

Posted by Alex on March 26, 2009

We don’t have an NBA team anymore, so I had to go to Portland to watch basketball played at its highest level (thanks, local government).  That’s where I was Monday night, amidst a crowd of rabid red-and-black emblazoned fans, cheering on the Trailblazers as they battled the visiting Philadelphia 76ers.  This is my chronicle of the night’s events.  Enjoy.
