If you want to be the president of the United State Barack Obama, you have to impress me on the basketball court, and frankly I wasn’t too impressed. You have to make the bunnies Barack. When that no-brainer free trade agreement comes across you desk, you have to be able to pull the trigger, and what I saw out there was a lot of hesitation. In all honesty, I think I would have rather seen Hilary or John McCain out there. McCain would be in cardiac arrest after two light jogs from end to end, but Hilary, I see something there. She could be a combo guard in the mold of Chauncey Billups, posting up smaller guards in those sexy pantsuits of hers.

Did you happen to catch big smooth Sam Perkins near the end of the video? Check it again, he is sitting next to Roy. He wasn’t there to watch basketball though, he was doing a little early lobbying for more leniency in the medicinal marijuana laws. Under his plan, anyone who played two or more seasons with Austin Croshere can carry as much weed as they want, with or without a prescription. Jamaal Tinsley Jonathon Bender have already signed Sam’s petition.

This was the second game in week for Barack and his barnstorming basketball tour. On April 25th, he played a little ball with the Indiana Fever’s Tamika Catchings (she blogged all about it) and Alison Bales in a “3 on 3 Challenge For Change.”

Could we get this guy a pair of hi-tops for god’s sake? He is going to turn an ankle. If he is going to play other heads of state in games of 21 to solve divisive world issues, he needs a decent pair of shoes.

Shockingly, crotchety old Cricket fans aren’t too fond of the 19th century developments currently taking place in their game.  Cheerleaders have been added to Indian Premier League Cricket to add spice to a game that no more than 45 people worldwide actually understand.  Take a look at some of the risqué outfits that the cheerleaders have chosen to wear:

Oh, those are normal cheerleading uniforms? But my God, look at these chicks! Is that a bare midriff?

These chicks at the under 20 tournament in Sydney have the right idea:

Although,  I tend to think that the scouting team could find a some better talent.

Finally, Pirates fans have proof that management is giving them a big “F You”. Although, I probably would have figured it out earlier by the fantastically awful teams that the club has fielded in the last 15 years. Here is a better look if you didn’t see it clearly in the video from that link:

That sure looks like the middle finger to me.  Although I see it so much when I beg for change on the subway that I tend to see it everywhere.

Just like John says at the 2:25 mark, “Don’t underestimate the fat man.”

I can’t imagine John was knockin’ back a few pops that day. I always take off my shirt and shoes in the middle of a golf course when I’m sober. Judging by his birdie putt (2:40 mark), John may need a little work on his short game, and his core.

Watch this video and tell me you don’t love this guy.

I really love athletes who let themselves go, whether they do it during their career, or wait until after they retire. I even get why they do it in most cases. For most of their natural life they had to train, and watch what they eat. For a lot of athletes their career is based on their ability to stay in shape. So, when they retire and no longer have that pressure, it is only logical that they would just say “screw it,” I am doing what I want now. By the way, this is not John Daly’s excuse at all, he is just a fat guy, plain and simple.

Just because I understand it, doesn’t mean I won’t make fun of it. Fat athletes make us feel better about our love handles, spare tires and giant goiters hanging off the side of our face. Below are my Top 10 athletes who let themselves go: (With Then/Now Pics)

10. Charles Barkley

9. Phil Mickelson

8. Mike Tyson

7. Ernie Holmes – #63 – He played around 260 pounds (RIP)

6. George Forman

5. Tony Gywnn

4. Kirby Puckett (RIP)

3. Barry Bonds – He really let himself go, just look how we ballooned up later in his career:

2. Shawn Kemp

1. Diego Maradona

Maybe John isn’t in such bad shape after all.

I don’t think I can imagine a more ridiculous crash than this one:

Here are a few more angles. Look at how his car just jerks off the road in the middle of a straightaway:

The man in the car is Stephane Ortelli and he escaped serious injury from this crash, walking away (actually he probably limped) with only a broken ankle. This crash took place at Le Mans in the final hour of a 24 hour race. Make sure you check out the car that he almost hit when flew across the race track. That man was about a foot away from getting his head taken off. All parties involved were lucky this wasn’t any worse.

When I was a supple young boy, I loved the show Full House.  Whenver, I would see Lori Loughlin, or Becky Katsopolis, I would get a funny feeling in my Jordache jeans that I wouldn’t be able to explain until age 16, when I finally hit puberty.

Finally, Lori Loughlin playing a role that suits her over 40 hotness.  Lori will play a former Olympic medalist and mother to the main characters in the remake of 90210.   

For this sake, Uncle Jesse better have held on to this woman, she aged like a fine wine.

One day in my not so distant future I am get intoxicated enough to get a tattoo. I hope it doesn’t happen, but when the white wine spritzers start flowing, there is no telling what I might do. In any event, if I do get a tattoo, I want it to be this one.

I think Leonardo Da Vinci, or one of his relatives, did this tattoo. This is a work of art. But wait…there’s more, on his arm:

That is called dedication right there. Dedication to looking like a douche, everytime you take your shirt off or wear short sleeves, for the rest of your life. Although, as long as they keeping making spiderman movies, the tattoo will be topical, unlike this beauty:

I don’t know how drunk I would have to get to have this painted on my back:
