First battle goes to Dodgers

The Dodgers-Giants rivalry has reached the point of aerial attack.

Henry Yu, a long-time Giants fan who lives in L.A., forked up $1,050 to fly a banner over Dodgers Stadium that read, "Dodgers still suck, From SF Champs Fans." A little later another banner reading, "SF Giants 2010 Champs, Beat LA."

Not only did his banner fly in late, but Dodgers fans converted the first strike with their own plane hauling a banner reading, "Dodgers 5, Giants 1, Go Dodgers." The numbers represented the number of championships won by the respective clubs since moving to their current citites.

To quote Uncle Phil from "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air," it's only, "Day damn one" in baseball, but Dodgers beat the Giants 2-1 as aces Clayton Kershaw of the Dodgers and Tim "The Freak" Lincecum of the Giants, locked up for outstanding pitching performances which are a good indicator of the season to come.

Dodgers won battle No. 1, but there will be 17 more to go within the next six months.

Teach Me How to Jimmer with the Court Intruder

BYU three-point shooting sensation Jimmer Fredette has gottten the most hype out of any college player this season. Although he's not expected to be drafted very high in the NBA draft, mostly because no one trusts a white kid to be any good at the next level, fans have made interesting and fun videos in his honor.



Above, Teach Me How to Jimmer was played throughout the NCAA tournament games featuring BYU. Below, Court Intruder is a somewhat disturbing, yet pretty comical spoof to the Bed Intruder phenomenon that has ripped through Youtube.

The Ol' Switcheroo

Maybe he's tired of getting KO'd


Most of us wish we could have a twin to do something we don't want to do, fomer MLB player Jose Canseco has that luxury.

There are reports of him using his twin brother Ozzie to fight for him in a scheduled boxing match.

Fans spotted the switch right away by looking at the difference in tattoos. Why fans know what Jose Canseco's tats look like is puzzling, but nonetheless, that is how they spotted him out.


According to ESPN, Canseco has done this before, letting his brother sign during past autograph sessions.

I don't blame Canseco, if his brother is willing to get knocked around for him, more power to him.

It's not like we all haven't thought about it before. How many times have you been in a situation where you tell yourself, "I wish I had a twin right now"? Most twins don't take advantage of this great gift, but not the Bash'em brothers.

He is making good use of his brother and i actually commend him for this one.

Fight promoter Damon Feldman is trying to get back the $10,000 paid to the Canseco brothers.

"I've worked with him before," Feldman said. "Except now I've got to look back at the pictures at the time and look if I ever really met Jose Canseco."

Now check out this MMA fight. I'd get someone else to fight for me too if I took this beating.

"I didn't pick her up in no doggone playground"

Before you watch this, it isn't an SNL skit. It's a real interview with Lawrence Taylor conducted by Fox News.

Taylor pleaded guilty to having sex with an underaged girl. He said she was a prostitute doing her job, she said he should have known her age. He will be on 6 years probation.

Don't get it twisted, Taylor is one of the NFL's all-time greats. He put fear into opposing quarterbacks eyes, that same fear was put in my eyes after watching this chilling video.

His lawyer came out and said it was wrong of Taylor to do a TV interview. Yeah, no kidding.

Needless to say, we won't be seeing how much weight he's lost in those Nutrisystem commercials anymore.

He was not sorry for infidelity, or being wrapped in the world of prostitution. He was sorry for not asking for a birth certificate.

This is our world.

Yes: He really said he didnt pick up the prostitute in no doggone playground. (But he did not rule out Chuck E. Cheese's or the line to a Jonas Brothers concert)

Yes: He said he doesn't card his prostitutes. (he should have, and should have called his hotel room "Club LT: Love Time")

Yes: He had a creepy smile throughout the interview. (The kind of creepy smile your neighbor has when he's randomly standing outside in a bathrobe, watching you leave to work in the morning. No, that's just me? OK.)

No: He will no longer be invited to anyone of his nieces' sweet 16 parties. (Check out my "tags" for this post. Arent they chilling and disgusting? What else can i put though?)

Telekinetic save

Jonathan Quick of the LA Kings made a mind bending save Monday. I'll let you watch it over and over like i did. Maybe Quick is secretly with the X-Men.

I think this takes mind over matter in sports to a whole new level.

If you have an explanation, feel free to offer it.
