The N. Period

And it is awesome. Kinda reminds me of Tracy Morgan. Now he's streaming his life on Ustream. It's guaranteed to be exciting. The latest I heard he's yelling about being drunk and high, IN his Celtics game shorts and nothing else, while the Ustream staff toiled in the background to set up cameras around his house. Will I get anything done this weekend?

The team's hamburger-peddling sponsor has really scored with another marketing gem. On the inside of the jersey. That's right. The inside of these Joma-designed duds come equipped with an inverted image of the King. No, not Elvis — we're talking about that crazy one from all the BK commercials that somehow freaks a lot of people out.

The amazing Swede for Inter Milan was the highlight of my Saturday of soccer watching with this amazing pass that simply must be seen to be comprehended.

OK so maybe I forgot for a little while with the NBA on its yearly break, but gee wiz that LeBron James is a silly one. For the release of the Nike LeBron Zoom VI The Swoosh has teamed up with The King to make what is clearly one of the more entertaining footwear spots we've seen in some time. Looks like Bron-Bron will rake in a ton more money with this one.

Preseason basketball is here and it seems that at least one local establishment is decidedly unsatisfied with all the negative attention that Josh Howard has recieved as of late. Someone at SMU-area haunt Milo Butterfinger's had some choice opinions about the recently infamous Mav.

In the first three decades of the existence of the Dallas Cowboys — perhaps the greatest sports organization on the planet — only nine players and the revered head coach Tom Landry were inducted into the Ring of Honor at Texas Stadium. Only the words "Bob Lilly" and its accompanying "74" have been there longer than the name of Don Meredith, beaming upon legions of Cowboy fans from its blue stripe just beneath the press box. And now SMU finally follows suit.

I know that by now it's old news that the Pro Bowl #85 for the Cincinnati Bengals has officially changed his name to Chad Javon Ocho Cinco, but I literally laughed out loud when I spied this while perusing opening day NFL rosters on the ESPN web site. As of yesterday, his Wikipedia page as well as his ESPN profile still referred to him as a Johnson. Today, though, all is well in the world. I look forward to seeing it on the field Sunday.

Originally released in 1987 the first shoe to fill the category of "cross trainer." Popularized by John McEnroe, these shoes are now available in this great Deep Royal colorway that goes perfectly with regulation Dodgers, Rangers, Mets, or Royals caps, 'cus that's what kids do nowadays, no?

What? Kanye Kanye Kanye. Big ups for the Olympics timeliness.

The US men's soccer team was far from impressive, echoing the performance of the women's team the day before, but they managed to get the three points against Japan on the strength of a goal from Stuart Holden. What I found more interesting, though, was the fact that the team was missing the official team crest on the jerseys and shorts, another way that they mirrored the women's showing.
