That’s it then. Here’s the proof that Lakers Suck. All right, it’s the proof that sucks. Congrats to Celtics for beating Los Angeles Lakers 131-92 at tonight’s game and becoming NBA champions for the 17th time. To commemorate the win, Celtic fans are already selling t-shirts that read “Lakers Suck” on Ebay. How about that for business?

The city of Boston already has plans for major parade ready to celebrate the title won by their home team – Boston Celtics. Chant with me – Lakers Suck, Lakers Suck…..

Chad Gerlach had a great career going for him. He was a talented bike racer riding under flag of U.S. Postal Service, but just as his sport career was about to take off, he gave his life to drugs.

The story of Chad Gerlach, how he went form promising American pro racer to homeless bum who’s addicted to drugs was featured on this week’s episode of A&E Intervention.

Parents of Chad Gerlach divorced when he was just eight year old. By the time he was 13 he became a convicted arsonist, setting fire in North California and went to serve his time in jail. His dad got him into bike racing after he got out of jail and it went great for him as he raced for the US Postal Service team.

Sadly enough, he found himself an obsession – crack cocaine. As he became addicted to the drug, Chad Gerlach was kicked out of the US Postal team and other teams he tried to race for. Unable to support himself, he became homeless, living on the street for 18 months. To get $2000 a month he needed to satisfy his crack cocaine addiction, he started pan handling.

Chad Gerlach had potential and wasted it by allowing drugs to take over his life. The excuse that he had a tough childhood is ridiculous. How many other kids had it rough when they were little, yet they don’t go burning shit and smoke crack? Chad still carries on using the divorce of his parents as an excuse. Get a life dude and get that life on track. Quit looking for excuses all the time. Excuses are for the weak. Hang on a second… I’m talking about a drug addict…. Nevermind!

What’s up with all these famous people growing pubes on their faces. John Travolta showed his facial pubes off just last Saturday and now the great LA Galaxy striker David Beckham himself let the pubes grow all over his face and chin. What’s up with that? Have I missed something? Am I expected to grow pubic hair on my face too? I hate that shit. As if my chest was not hairy enough already.

Shave it off already, Becks.

Former NFL running back and a Pittsburgh Steelers star Timothy Worley was tasered and arrested by Smyrna police for “becoming confrontational”. The whole incident was caught on police cruiser camera.

Timothy Worley was pulled over for speeding and lane violation (lane violation? WTF???). He told the police officer he had no ID, which was obviously just a lame excuse at trying to get himself out of this (not like it would work).

There is no denying that Timothy Worley acted like an ass. You don’t use foul language and you obey instruction of a police officer, but in this case it does seem like the cop was needlessly aggregated and very trigger happy. Timothy Worley was not confrontational to begin with, he seems to have been pushed to the limit until he flipped.

I’m not a cop so I don’t know what proper procedures are, but it is possible this is what cops need to do in order to conduct their job properly. Imagine you are a cop, you pull over a huge guy who has no IDs. It may be a safe practice to handcuff a guy until he can verify his identity, but I’m only guessing here.

From the video it appears as though Timothy Worley was swearing and using all other forms of rude language. That may be enough to get a person detained. Add to it speeding and lane violation (I believe there was also a DUI which came to light later) and you have a good reason to detain a person. Timothy Worley then says at some point – “do what you gotta do, officer” and he did. But when asked to put his hand behind his back, Timothy Worley responded with violence and yelled at the cop to get his hands off him, which prompted the cop to use a taser. Sounds like a fair use of taser to me.

All right, this is NBA player Kobe Bryant pulling off an insane stunt by jumping over a running car. He clears is smooth and it looks awesome, but I have some serious doubt about the authenticity of this video.

When you pause it and play frame by frame, it appears as though Kobe Bryant is closer to the camera than the car, but the way camera is positioned makes it look in line. This same effect was used throughout the Lord of the Rings to make hobbits looks smaller. I think the car was passing safely by the side of Kobe and he only made half the jump he needed in order to make it look like he cleared the car.

I also don’t think the Lakers would allow him to attempt crazy stunts where he could endanger his health and possibly performance during the rest of the NBA season. I’m not an expert, but I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a clause in his multi million dollar contract that prohibits him from performing reckless acts during his spare time which could cause harm to his body and paralyze him from playing for the team. Plus if something happened to him, he would danger his million dollar salary and who would do that?

One thing is for sure – first fan of Lakers sees it and is gonna try that shit at home. Dumbasses.

FACT #1 – Japanese girls are sexy (don’t need proof for that)
FACT #2 – Female volleyball players are sexy

What happens when you combine the two? Absolute sexiness. This is a video of Japanese babes (that’s a lame name for sexy girls) playing beach volleyball. There’s enough cuteness in one single video to get you off before it’s done. And that’s before the clip of that sexy Japanese chick lifts up her dress to rub her belly.

Slow motion of that cute Japanese butt wobbling in the air as one of the volleyball players walks away from the field is priceless. But why do they have Herbalife ads on their panties?

This is the video from Pride 31 fighting championship between Russian monster Roman Zentsov and BrazilianPedro Rizzo. And Roman Zentsov delivered. He knocked Pedro Rizzo the fuck out. He completely obliterated the Brazilian with a single punch. I mean, Pedro Rizzo will probably spend the rest of his life peeing the linen at night. Roman Zentsov is a monster.

Fedor Emelianenko was in the audience too and cheered with Roman big time after the knock out. Very nice fight, sucks for Pedro. This is definitely one of the best knock outs ever recorded on camera. Roman gave Pedro no chance.

I got to start going to basketball games. There’s always some fun shit happening there. Not to mention ever so present cheerleaders.

Kobe Bryant of LA Lakers did this awesome throw last Sunday as he was leaving for a changing room. He bent over, picked up white towel from the floor and just casually threw it giving it random spins. The towel landed right on the face of an old lady who happened to be just sitting there. This video is an awesome slow motion of that hot incident. I totally love Kobe Bryant. Awesome throw. NBA has got to be proud.

Lady’s got stories to tell now. She went to see an NBA game and ended up with white stuff all over her face from one of the basketball players. Who’s gonna start the countdown till the towel is for sale on eBay?

Cyclist Floyd Landis won 2006 Tour De France championship but his victory was spoiled by the doping scandal after the tests showed that he used synthetic testosterone. Floyd Landis kept denying the use of performance enhancing drugs but he lost his 4 months long fight today after the results of the tests have been confirmed. What this all means for Floyd Landis, is that he loses his 2006 Tour De France title, and gets suspended for 2 years so he won’t be able to race in near future.

He still has a last resort and can appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sports. If he doesn’t appeal or is his appeal is denied, Floyd Landis will become the first case in the 105 years long history of Tour De France to lose the title because of a doping violation.
