They really need to get this whole Favre situation handled. It doesn’t look like people like it that much.

Looks like Nike’s feelin the pressure from these ads they recently released.

WSJ – Nike Inc. said it dropped a billboard advertisement in response to critics who complained that the basketball-shoe ads were insensitive to gay men and African-Americans.

The ads, designed by ad agency Wieden+Kennedy, promoted a new line of basketball shoes, called Hyperdunk, that are at the center of Nike’s Olympics marketing pitch. The ad featured two unidentified male basketball players; as one flew up to the net for an apparent slam dunk, the other was left below, his face smashed into his opponent’s groin.

The scene appeared on outdoor ads in Philadelphia, Atlanta and New York, and was subtitled with slogans like “That Ain’t Right” and “Isn’t That Cute.” Its release prompted a number of blogs to lash out at the company for criticizing gays and African-Americans.

The main pressure on them came from a post on the media blog Gawker.

What do you guys think about the ads?

Cowboys WR Terrell Owens went up against their new CB Pacman Jones yesterday during training camp football.

After the crowd noticed the matchup, Pacman waved his arms in the air to get more attention. You should only do that when your gonna win the matchup.

So what happened?

Owens made a double move to break past the player who wants to be formerly known as “Pacman.” Tony Romo’s long pass hit Owens in stride for what would have been a touchdown.

Owens spiked the ball when he crossed the goal line. As he jogged back toward the huddle, Owens waved his arms in the air, drawing an even louder response and chants of “T-O!, T-O!”

Pacman claims that it isn’t always so one sided but we don’t believe him. Maybe he should just stick to selling cars.

Ok so I really don’t know much about this video. I just know that it involves hot Italian women getting in unusual positions to get through tight spaces. Maybe from a game show of some sort but enough of that, lets watch the video.

Your average whack ass celeb gets their 15 minutes of fame. It sucks but hey that’s something we all have to deal with.Unfortunately at a Schaumburg Flyers minor league baseball game, people had to deal with William Hung coming to sing “She Bangs,” DURING pre-game warm-ups as he tried to steal another 30 seconds of fame. That’s one way to try and throw the other team off.

So Tony Stewart’s wildness was acceptable 5 years ago. Now it’s just startin to get kind of old.

Last Thursday, at O’Reilly Raceway Park in Indianapolis during a Midget race Tony kind of lost it.

He wasn’t happy about a decision the officials made about the USAC car that he owned and decided that it would be a good to harass them.

WTHR – Stewart marched into the pack of officials and became very upset. He snatched a headset off the head of one of the officials. As he walked away and the official replaced the headphones, Stewart returned and yanked them off again.

He was approached by another official as he walked further away and shoved him with two hands.

Here’s a video of the incident.

Are you as tired of Tony Stewart as me?

ESPN – NBA front-office sources told ESPN.com that Biedrins was en route to Oakland on Sunday night after agreeing to a new six-year contract with the Warriors believed to be worth nearly $63 million. The contract, sources said, will likely be signed Monday and include a player option for Biedrins to return to the free-agent market in the summer of 2013 after the fifth season.

Biedrins’ agent, Bill Duffy, confirmed the player’s verbal agreement with the Warriors on Sunday night, saying: “I am so ecstatic for this young man, who came to a new country as an 18-year-old and has worked diligently to improve his game and assimilate to the NBA. He is committed to the Warriors and will continue to improve and help stabilize this team for the next six years.”

He got paid more than he probably should’ve because of the threat of him going overseas. Will this be a new trend of teams trying to stop guys from going to Europe to play? I hope not.

Everyone needs a second chance in life sometimes. We all make mistakes. Adam “Don’t Call me Pacman, but you can call me Carsalesman” Jones, wants you to know that even if you’ve messed up in the past you can still get a whip.

Jones teamed up with Deion Sanders in these commercials to help sell cars for what I’m assuming is a Dallas Car dealership.

Honestly, he doesn’t make me want to buy a new car but if he brought out some hoes and started throwing dollars, I might reconsider.

The Sports Hernia found this pic of everyones favorite retired pitcher, Orel Hershiser looking very evil.

Pics are always questionable because you catch someone in a still that may not accurately portray what they look like, but in this case, I think they got it right on. It makes the Joker look like, Batman or something.
