2012 Takes A Hit

Image
2012 is only a quarter of the way over. However, has hit a sudden rough patch. The Lingerie Football League announced that they are putting their entire season on hiatus for 2012. They will be back in the summer of 2013. If anyone needs me, I'll be at the bar sulking.

First Lingerie Football, Now a Topless Basketball League?

Image
A group of nightclub owners got together in the midst of the NBA lockout and decided a topless basketball league would be a great idea to keep interest up in the sport since there probably wasn’t going to be a season, according to the Courier Mail . I would like to take a moment to say that I love America.

My Detroit Sports Orgasm

Image
Another Detroit Lions Fan The Detroit Lions beat the Dallas Cowboys earlier today, 34 - 30. They are now off to a 4 - 0 start for the season and are going into a three game home stand at Ford Field. As I write this, the Detroit Tigers are also in the lead. They are currently beating the New York Yankees 4 - 0 in the 7th inning of game two of the American League Division Series. If the Tigers manage to hold onto this lead and win today, I very well may have a sports orgasm. That's kind of like a regular orgasm - just not as messy. Update @ 6:49 p.m. I feel good. Real good .

Victoria's Secret Meets the Detroit Lions

Image
Pink by Victoria's Secret introduced a new collection of outfits this afternoon that are inspired by the National Football League. This goes along with the ones that they already have for Major League Baseball.  I have to admit that I'm partial to their ones for the Detroit Lions, all things considered. They look sassy, original, and downright awesome. Of course, since this is Victoria's Secret and these are the Detroit Lions, I have to say that the Victoria's Secret crew will probably score more wins this season that the Detroit Lions will. But I doubt anyone will complain about their success.

Troy Tulowitzki Swings Once, Hits Twice

Image
Troy Tulowitzki  of the Colorado Rockies did something over the weekend that I've never seen anyone else do in baseball. He swung his bat once, eventually got a base hit out of it, but in the process of doing so actually hit the ball twice. His bat made contact with the ball twice, within a split second, during a single swing. Troy Tulowitzki Hits the Same Pitch Twice With One Swing An interesting side note to this is the fact that the announcers at that game initially thought that the sound of that second hit was the sound of his bat breaking. They, of course, were wrong but it was an understandable mistake. I think the most interesting part of this is that no one would have known that this had happened without the slow-motion playback. This is just one of the many quirky advantages to living in the modern age.

The Detroit Tigers Are In First Place

Image
Another Night at Comerica Park The first place Detroit Tigers. Oh, how I love those five words. I'm not sure how long this will ultimately last. Maybe the Tigers will screw it up and be out of contention by July. Maybe they'll go all the way to another World Series. Regardless, I am going to enjoy saying those five magical words for as long as I possibly can - the first place Detroit Tigers.

Partying with the Polo Girls

Image
I get some of the most interesting things in my email. For example, did you know that it is actually possible to book a group of attractive women to come to your next party or event? Want to Play Polo? Yes, it's the Polo Girls Society . They are a group of five female professional polo players who are dedicated to bringing polo to the world. They will show up at any given party as well as corporate or charity events. They give polo clinics and demonstrations. Of course, if one prefers, they can simply act as promotional models for a given brand. I have to admit that I would never have thought to have people play polo at a party before today. However, now that I have seen this in my in-box, I simply cannot stop thinking about it. The Polo Girls Society: Coming to a party or event near you soon.

Who Needs the NFL?

Image
The NFL lockout shows no sign of ending anytime soon. Luckily, there is an alternative. One that might actually be better than the NFL itself. There is the Lingerie Football League . It features football, played by women in their underwear. If one adds a beer and some nachos then this very well may be the perfect way to spend an afternoon. I'm just glad, though, that with the LFL putting beautiful women on the field to play football, they didn't decide to put guys on the sidelines in skimpy outfits as cheerleaders. I'm sure there are some folks out there would love to see that happen. I, however, am not one of them.

My Quote for 2011

Image
Every once in awhile, I hear a quote that so perfectly summarizes how I'm feeling at a given moment, I am compelled, it would seem, to emblazon it on the wall by my desk. Today, I came across such a quote. "A hero is no braver than an ordinary man," Ralph Waldo Emerson  once observed, "but he is brave five minutes longer." Today, I pray that each of us finds the strength to hang onto our bravery for those extra five minutes in whatever challenges we may face.

33 Women in 2 Weeks?

Image
James Hunt James Hunt  was the Formula One champion in back 1976 - a time long before I was paying any attention to either women or cars. According to a new biography by Tom Rubython , during a two week binge while in Tokyo that year, James Hunt and his friend Barry Sheene  each had sex with thirty three different flight attendants. And yes, that's thirty three women each. Over the course of fourteen days. An average of a little more than two stewardesses per day. James Hunt and Barry Sheene set the bar high (or low) for an outstanding summer vacation.

I Wish I Played Tennis

Image
Daniela Castillo I wish I played tennis. I never gave the game much thought when I was in high school or college. My friends and I pretty much focused on the classics for young boys in southeastern Michigan: baseball, basketball, hockey, and football. There were tennis courts in Rouge Park, which is near where I grew up. However, we just went right past them without thinking much about that game. With the U.S. Open starting, however, I can't help but notice how many of those tennis players have smoking hot wives or girlfriends. I know that all professional athletes tend to attract beautiful women. There is simply something about the combination of fame, good looks, and money that athletes have. Bec Cartwright Regardless, the tennis guys seems to be able to take it up a notch. I'm not quite sure why. Fernando Gonzalez  is currently dating Chilean pop star Daniela Castillo . Lleyton Hewitt of Australia is currently engaged to actress and singer Bec Cartwright ,...

Larissa Riquelme: Robbed and Naked

Image
Larissa Riquelme  is the model from Paraguay who became famous for her unique cell phone holder during the FIFA World Cup this summer. Larissa Riquelme: Robbed and Naked She promised to run naked through the streets if Paraguay won the World Cup. Unfortunately for men everywhere, Paraguay was eliminated shortly after Larissa Riquelme made that promise. Well, Larissa Riquelme is back in the news again. She was robbed recently. Thieves stole what is perhaps the most photographed cell phone in history (even though we only got to see an inch or two of it). Luckily for Larissa Riquelme, she will be able to recover from this robbery by getting naked and making men everywhere a little bit happier with our lives. She did a topless photo shoot for Para Hombre  magazine. Admitedly, this is a rather unique way of earning the money one needs to buy a new cell phone. However, life is always filled with sacrifices. I look forward to seeing Larissa Riquelme at the next FIFA Wo...

WGN Needs A Map

Image
The folks at WGN aired a story recently about the FIFA World Cup, which is currently being played in South Africa . The thing is, they displayed a graphic of South America  in their coverage of it. This, of course, just proves that far too many Americans don't know very much about geography or soccer.

It's Tiger Time

Image
I want to congratulate the first-place Detroit Tigers on their win today over the Minnesota Twins. Yes, ladies and gentlemen, say it nice and slow, "the first-place Detroit Tigers." Doesn't it just seem like those words were always meant to be together?

World Cup

Image
The FIFA World Cup is happening these days. It's rather big deal around most of the world. However, like 99% of all Americans, my interest in soccer is fairly minimal. Regardless, I have to admit that the game does have a few things going for it. I mean, just look at the fans who show up to cheer their team on to victory.

Tiger Woods Once Dated LeAnn Rimes

Image
Reports surfaced this afternoon that legendary golfer Tiger Woods once had a sexual relationship with country singer  LeAnn Rimes . At this point, I'm starting to feel like someone should start a list of the famous women and assorted porn stars that Tiger Woods did not have sex with. It would probably save a lot of ink. Tiger once dated LeAnn Rimes - FOX Sports on MSN

Tiger Woods Mistress Devon James Comes Forward

Image
Devon James became the latest porn star to come forward and say that she had a sexual relationship with Tiger Woods while he was married. This means that Tiger Woods had at least 15 mistresses during his marriage to Elin Nordegren , including at least 3 of whom were porn stars. Of course, with 15 mistresses to his credit, one has to wonder if the folks who make video games will update the Tiger Woods game to reflect the sport that he was perhaps most proficient at. Players, for example, could leave the golf course behind and join virtual Tiger Woods in a dimly lit bar as he pursues his latest conquest. In later stages of the game, players could concoct various schemes to keep his indiscretions a secret. And then, of course, comes the final level when players would score points by helping Tiger Woods dodge golf clubs that are swung at his head by his pissed off wife. Call me, EA Sports. We can make this huge.

My Confession

Image
My faithful readers, I'm afraid that I have a confession to make. I too once had an affair with legendary golfer  Tiger Woods . I thought I was the only one that Tiger Woods had ever shown his special golf club to. However, I have learned over the past couple of weeks that I was neither his first nor his last. You can read all of the torrid details in my soon to be released book, I Know Why They Call Him "Tiger" . I expect a movie deal to be announced soon.  Perhaps that announcement will even be included in one of the three reality TV shows that I will be appearing on soon.

Reebok EasyTone Commercial

The folks at Reebok have introduced their EasyTone shoes. They're inspired by balance balls and are supposed to tone one's butt and legs much more efficiently than conventional shoes. I don't know if there's any validity to that claim. I do, however, know that I love this commercial for the Reebok EasyTone shoes.  I've watched it 11 times so far today. I'll probably watch it several more times before the day is over. Oh, and I'm amused that I found this video on a Friday the 13th. Sometimes some very lucky things can happen on this day.

Detroit Shock are Moving to Tulsa

The Detroit Shock are reportedly about to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma. I can't say that I really blame them. In a town that has four other professional sports teams already - plus Michigan and Michigan State sports teams - it has been hard for them to generate the attendance that they need. Of course, the saddest part all of this is that the Detroit Lions are staying. Source: Detroit Shock are moving to Tulsa | Detroit Shock - MLive.com - - MLive.com Shared via AddThis
