Visine tends to be a frequently used product among stoners everywhere, so one can only imagine that several pot heads across America and around the world have tried (and failed) to apply those eye drops through their sunglasses at some point during their pot-smoking days. As for this Washington Nationals fan who experienced that very same blunder during a recent day game, one can only hope that his excuse has something to do with marijuana and/or a few pints of beer.
Suddenly the fans in Chicago don’t seem so foolish, thanks to this Nats fan.
The Pittsburgh Steelers unveiled their new throwback jerseys for the upcoming 2012 NFL season in a rather unusual fashion yesterday, as they posted the following picture of running back Issac Redman sporting the uniform in what appears to be the Steelers’ locker room shower.
And speaking of unusual fashion, what is with the black and yellow bumblebee stripes and the block letters? I fully understand their intention to go with an old-school style, but these monstrosities would likely be considered hideous in just about any decade over the course of the past century.
Now one can only hope that the Seattle Green Goblins and the Pittsburgh Bumblebees never meet in an actual NFL game. After all, such a sight can’t be good for one’s eyes.
Before I show you this clip of a motorcyclist speeding along a Victoria, B.C. highway at speeds of nearly 300 km/h, I believe it is my duty to tell you that I do not condone these sorts of actions. In fact, I feel as though anyone taking part in them certainly deserves to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
I should also mention that I am not the only one who feels this way, as many YouTube commenters have also voiced their disapproval regarding this biker’s risky ride.
On a side note, how do they get 299 km/h as the exact speed? How can they possibly tell that the needle on the speedometer was at 299 km/h and not 300 km/h, or 298 km/h? Is this supposed to be some viral video marketing scheme, where they figure 299 km/h is more appealing than 300 km/h, the same way $2.99 is more appealing than $3.00?
Here’s a look at this motorcyclist’s 299 km/h ride through Victoria, B.C.
A frightening scene unfolded in Turkey on Monday, as Besiktas fans attacked Galatasaray’s Emmanuel Eboue in an act that they claim was fueled by the Ivorian’s on-field antics, while many others have pointed to race as the real motive behind these actions.
According to Yahoo! Answers, the Turks were not racist towards black individuals four years ago, but it appears as though times have changed, as they weren’t throwing debris and running onto the field to attack any of the lighter skinned individuals during Monday’s match, but they were doing that to the darker-skinned Eboue. And sadly, this isn’t the first time they have gone after Eboue either, as he received similar treatment from the Besiktas fans during a match in November.
The actions from the Besiktas fans seemed to rattle Eboue this time around, and rightfully so. After all, no man stands a chance against a stadium full of wild crazy fans that are climbing over railings and running onto the field just to get their hands on you. Thankfully, we haven’t heard anything about Eboue being hunted down by the Besiktas fans following the game, so we’ll simply assume that he was somehow able to escape Istanbul alive.
Here is a look at the scary scene that unfolded on the pitch on Monday.
Mike Tyson used to sell out arenas in Las Vegas during his fighting days, and he has proven that he is capable of doing the same with his gloves off, as he took to the stage at the The Hollywood Theater inside the MGM Grand Hotel for the premier of his live show, “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth.” The show opened on Saturday, April 14, with plenty of celebrities in attendance to hear the former heavyweight champ talk about all of the ups and downs he endured during his life.
Most of us already know about the ear biting and the jail time, but I bet you haven’t heard about the prison official he got pregnant!
Unfortunately for those who paid the $117.49 to see him live, they didn’t get to hear about it either, as Tyson did not divulge that story, but he did talk about it briefly with Rick Reilly during an interview regarding his new show. You can watch the interview and a sneak peak at the making of “Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth” in the video below.
Male athletes like Amar’e Stoudemire and Chad Ochocinco have shown that they are not afraid to bare it all in front of a camera, and female athletes like Hope Solo, Gina Carano and Madeleine Dupont have done the same in the past. With plenty of hours spent in the gym, it should come as no surprise to learn that most athletes are awfully comfortable with their clothes off, and those who find themselves on our list of “The Sexiest Female Athletes to Pose Nude” are certainly no exception. Nor should they be!
Take a look at the following images and I’m quite certain you’ll agree.
During last night’s game between the New York Yankees and the Minnesota Twins in the Bronx, YES Network cameras caught these two identical twins sitting in the first row with their matching outfits. That seemed to be the prefect time for Michael Kay to promote the network’s broadcast for today’s game against the Twins, and while most were likely able to catch on to this coincidence, John Flaherty seemed to be too mesmerized by their looks to understand the humor behind it.
On a side note, am I the only one who believes that two hot blondes would be the perfect mascot for the Minnesota Twins?
It was on this day in 1982 that Boston Marathon cheater Rosie Ruiz was arrested in New York and charged with forgery and grand larceny. This was just one of many arrests for Ruiz, whose life seemed to go downhill after she was caught cheating at the 84th annual Boston Marathon.
Rosie Ruiz crossed the finish line with a time of 2:31:56, which would have been a women’s record, however, race officials became suspicious when they noticed that Ruiz was not at all out of breath, or sweating. It was later determined that she entered the race in the last mile to be the first woman to cross the finish line and it was also discovered that she cheated in the New York City Marathon to qualify for the Boston event.
Jacqueline Gareau of Montreal was eventually given the title, as she was the first woman to complete the entire race.
Here is an interview with Ruiz after the race. “What are intervals???”

The Penguins knew they would need to score early and often if they were going to stay alive in their best-of-seven Eastern Conference Quarterfinal series against the Philadelphia Flyers. They would do just that, beating Ilya Bryzgalov and Sergei Bobrovsky five times each during their 10-3 blowout victory last night.
With a total of 36 shots on the Flyers’ goal, Pittsburgh scored on 27.8 percent of them in Game 4. Their power-play was an impressive 4-for-9, and they also scored each of the game’s final eight goals, beginning with Sidney Crosby’s tally 16:19 into the first period. Jordan Stall was leading the Penguins’ offensive charge with three goals, while Evgeni Malkin recorded two, and Crosby, Matt Niskanen, Kris Letang, Steve Sullivan and Pascal Dupuis all chipped in with one goal each.
The win still leaves the Penguins down 3-1 in the series, and just one loss away from booking their first tee time of the year, but if goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury can continue to limit the Flyers to three goals-per-game, the Pens have proven that they can at least equal that amount, as they have done so in each of the first four games in this series, despite losing on three of those occasions. Coming back from a 3-0 series deficit is no easy task, but with goaltending still a glaring problem in Philadelphia, mounting this historic comeback may also not be as hard as you’d think…
…Especially if the Pens can continue to make it look this easy. Here is a look at all ten of their goals from last night.
Skateboarding is an interesting sport. It’s really fun to watch if the person doing it is really, really good. Like, X Games good. But it’s super boring to watch if they’re not that good. (About as exciting to watch as an old rerun of Murder, She Wrote.) There is, however, an exception to this general rule of thumb: it can be really fun to watch crappy skaters…when they fail massively and embarrass themselves in front of the whole internet. So today we bring you a list of awesome skateboarding GIFs that run the gamut. Some are of awesome dudes doing awesome tricks. Others are of lame dudes trying to do simple tricks and getting hit in the groin. Either way, they’re all worth a look. So let’s get to it.
The Reason: The Tampa Bay Rays have gone over the total in five of their last six, while the Jays have gone over in each of their last five games. These two teams have gone over the total in six of their last eight meetings, and in each of their last five meetings in Toronto. The total surpassed nine in each of Jeremy Hellickson’s two starts against the Jays last season, while Toronto starter Henderson Alvarez allowed four runs in six innings during his only start against the Rays. Both teams have been putting up runs, and giving them up as well. Look for that to continue tonight, as this game goes over the total.
The Reason: The Bruins escaped with an important 4-3 victory during Game 3 in Washington, as they have now won four of their last five games overall, and each of their last five games on the road. The Bruins actually managed to record more wins on the road this season (25), than at home (24). As for the Caps, they will be without the services of Nicklas Backstrom following a questionable suspension. With the Capitals already struggling to score goals, that loss may be too much for them to overcome, as we expect the Bruins to come away with the Game 4 victory tonight.

For the first time in a while we bring you a vicious head shot that did not take place during a hockey game. Instead, this violent collision occurred during an Aussie Rules Football match between Hawthorn and Adelaide, as Luke Breust of the Hawks was attempting to keep his eye on the ball while running back for it, but he should have been more concerned about keeping his head on his shoulders, as he was nearly decapitated by a Crows player that beat him to the spot.
Despite the initial outlook, reports indicate that Breust was able to escape serious injury and is only expected to miss a week of action.
In just his second start since returning the Manchester City following his six month hiatus, Carlos Tevez was letting his boot do plenty of talking on the pitch, which his mouth wasn’t saying much afterwards.
Tevez recorded a hat-trick, as Manchester City closed the gap on first-place Manchester United following their 6-1 victory over Norwich City on Saturday. And when Tevez was asked by Sky Sports reporter Andy Burton how it felt to be back and whether or not he dove when he was booked for simulation in the ninth minute, he simply responded by asking if he was the “Man of the Match,” before walking off with his bottle of champagne.
I’m not sure if his hasty departure was the result of a language barrier or a reluctance to speak with the media, but Tevez did prove that some people don’t have to say much in order to provide us with a classic post-game interview.
After withstanding a barrage of criticism from all angles for his decision to allow Shea Weber to go unpunished for his turnbuckle-style head-smash on Henrik Zetterberg during Game One of the Western Conference Quarterfinal series between the Red Wings and the Predators, it appears as though Brendan Shanahan is doing everything in his power to ensure that not another head shot goes unpunished throughout the remainder of the 2012 playoffs. Frankly, he doesn’t seem to care who the perpetrator is anymore, as he has already suspended superstars Nicklas Backstrom and James Neal for one game each, and now he is suspending the glass pane at the TD Garden for a hit to the head of David Krejci following the Bruins’ Game One victory.
Interestingly enough, Shanahan decided to suspend all glass panes around the league indefinitely, which may not work out well for anyone who bought front row seats for an upcoming playoff game.
Here is a look at Shanahan’s assessment of the hit on Krejci, and his reasoning behind the indefinite suspension for all glass panes around the NHL.
I have already told you time and time again about the dangers one may encounter while sitting courtside at a basketball game. Therefore, I shouldn’t have to tell you that it probably isn’t safe to be texting during a game while sitting courtside, as you likely won’t be prepared to dodge any flying basketballs or basketball players while doing so.
Biz Markie, or someone who looks like him, wasn’t aware of this rule prior to attending last night’s game between the New York Knicks and the New Jersey Nets, but he was well aware of it by the time he left the Prudential Center, as he was on the receiving end of a ball-to-the-face while finger-blasting his cell phone in his courtside seat.
During Game One of the Western Conference Quarterfinal series between the Vancouver Canucks and the Los Angeles Kings, there appeared to be moments throughout the sixty minutes of action where Canucks forward Ryan Kesler was more interested in trying out for the American diving team, and less interested in playing hockey.
There were several instances during the game when Kesler appeared to be flopping around the ice rather easily, with the most embarrassing instance coming with 8:45 remaining in the third period.
Following that embarrassing flop, half of the hockey world was busy criticizing Kesler’s style of play, while the other half was busy putting together creative GIFs featuring the dive.
Here is a look at what we believe to be four of the best Ryan Kesler tumbleweed GIFs out there at the moment.
Washington Capitals’ captain Alex Ovechkin was having himself a rough night during Game 4 against the Boston Bruins on Thursday, as Zdeno Chara held the Russian sniper goalless for the third time this series while limiting him to just four shots on goal. And the giant Bruins defender wasn’t the only one giving Ovechkin a hard time. The Capitals’ bench also didn’t seem to be making things easy on him, as Ovechkin struggled to maintain his balance while taking a seat after returning to the bench following one of his shifts.
After experiencing difficulties getting his rear on the bench on this occasion, Ovechkin would have similar problems getting his rear off the bench in the third period, as Capitals coach Dale Hunter played his captain for just 1:58 during the final 20 minutes of the Caps’ 2-1 victory.
It was on this day in 1986 that Michael Jordan set an NBA playoff record with an incredible 63 points. Jordan broke the mark that was previously held by Elgin Baylor who scored 61 points in the 1962 NBA finals.
Jordan was able to play in only 18 regular season games that year due to a broken bone in his foot. It was suggested that he sit out the rest of the year, but he would return late in the season and help Chicago make the playoffs. The Bulls would match up with the reigning Conference Champion Boston Celtics in the first round.
It was game 2 at the Boston Garden, a game that would go into double overtime, when Michael would set the record. The Bulls ended up losing the game 135-131 and were eventually swept by the Celtics, who went on to win the NBA championship. Larry Bird was quoted as saying “He is the most exciting, awesome player in the game today. I think it’s just God disguised as Michael Jordan.”
Here are some highlights from Jordan’s record breaking performance.

It appears as though at least one parent has taken notice of the possible repercussions one may face when running onto the field of play during a sporting event. So in an effort to disrupt play during yesterday’s game between the Baltimore Orioles and the Chicago White Sox, but avoid being tased or tackled at the same time, that parent decided to send their child out onto the field. Thankfully, White Sox outfielder Dayan Viciedo was there to intercept the boy in left field before any security guard could mistaken him for a shorter-than-average college kid and send thousands of volts through his body.
After scooping the kid up into his arms, Viciedo returned him to his rightful owner seated along the third base line. You can watch the rather interesting incident unfold in the video below.
There are a lot of pro athletes out there who are animal lovers through and through. Some of these folks—like Chad Ochocinco, Candace Parker, Dennis Rodman, Amanda Beard, Amare Stoudemire, or Tony Gonzalez—have generously donated their time and celebrity to PETA for one or more of their various anti-fur ad campaigns.
This list is not about these people.
Instead, this list is about athletes who just don’t feel cozy unless they have a dead animal (or, in the case of Shaq and his giant mink coat, 40) wrapped around their shoulders. Sure, maybe their bold fashion preferences aren’t “politically correct” or “humane”; but at least we all know they have serious wads of cash and aren’t afraid to spend it. (Because isn’t that the real reason why people still wear fur anyway?)
So here you go: 20 athletes who won’t be doing ads for PETA any time soon. Check ‘em out.
Visine tends to be a frequently used product among stoners everywhere, so one can only imagine that several pot heads across America and around the world have tried (and failed) to apply those eye drops through their sunglasses at some point during their pot-smoking days.
