San Diego Chargers’ running back LaDainian Tomlinson just released this really awkward Electric Glide video for some reason.

Look out player, LT says he’s gonna serve us a new dance, oh Snap, Crackle and Pop! Wow, this is gonna be a little uncomfortable isn’t it….memo to LT, this failed move is about 25 years old but I love your new lyrics.

I was expecting Adam Sandberg to jump in thinking this was a Saturday Night Live parody of something, but grew increasingly uncomfortable as I realized this wasn’t a spoof.

I felt sexier after watching former Senator Tom Delay on Dancing With The Stars, at least he made me laugh.

OK, so I don’t expect my new favorite show, Blue Mountain State, to win any Emmys, but after watching a couple of the trailers I found myself laughing out loud. Blue Mountain State, the story of a legendary college football program premiers tonight on Spike TV at 10 PM EST and my apologies to the Daily Show but I’m gonna have to give this one a looksie.

Will Blue Mountain State be filled with sarcastic politically incorrect one liners that insult nearly every demographic? Hells Yes!
Will Blue Mountain State be filled with half-naked college football jocks in the locker room? Hells Yes!
Will Blue Mountain State be filled with more gay sex than you can shake your willy at? Probably not.

So there you go sarcasm and half-naked college football jocks guaranteed, enjoy!

Check out this trailer featuring Thad Castle as BMS’ Heisman Trophy hopeful. I love it when he rips on Bradford, McCoy and Tebow and then mocks fucking the mascot.

Yes, it’s high school humor at best, but I love shows that push the envelope and this one will almost certainly develop a huge gay following.

Go State!

After further review not even replay can save humans from making mistakes so I think it’s time we end our aversion to technology and embed pucks, footballs and baseballs with Radio Frequency Id’s (RFIDs).

This way, in football, we can eliminate an umpire’s judgement as to where the ball should be marked and save some money on payroll by eliminating the two guys who hold the chains on the sidelines and measure for first downs. This technology is already used in tennis and it surely would’ve corrected this mistake from the Penguins game the other night.

Foul ball mishaps, like what happened twice in last year’s baseball playoffs, would be eliminated as well.

I’ve been disappointed in a lot of things in my life, there was Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, the guy with the big feet…well you get the point. But never had I experienced what was close to outright sports depression as when I saw Colt McCoy get knocked out of the BCS title game.

To say that I was a little bummed is like saying Porky Pig has a slight speech impediment. Forget about staring at his hot ass all night long, I was mostly bummed because I was being cheated out of what I thought would’ve been one of the best college football championship games ever played.

With Colt McCoy, Texas and Alabama were even. Without Colt McCoy, game plans were altered on both sides and the BCS title game turned into a snoozer for the better part of an hour. Alabama turned extremely conservative offensively and Texas backup QB Garret Gilbert tried to overcome nerves solely on the strength of his rocket arm.

Side note: Gilbert’s really cute and he’s gotta cannon for an arm, however, I’ll still take Colt’s ass.

Back to the game, with McCoy getting x-rays on his injured shoulder, Gilbert completed just one pass in the first half. With Alabama playing not to lose for most of the third quarter, the game was about as exciting as waiting for your partner to orgasm after you’ve completed yours. And then the unexpected happen.

Gilbert faked a short route, looked off a defender and delivered a rope to a streaking Jordan Shipley who caught it in stride and raced for the end zone. Suddenly, down only 24-13, these steers had some fight in ‘em. On Texas’ next possession Gilbert took something off the ball and floated another TD pass to a wide open Shipley, and with a 2-point conversion the Longhorns trailed 24-21.

Texas got the ball back again down by three, deep in their own territory with just a few minutes left in the game. Could a true freshmen quarterback who couldn’t hit the broad side of a drag queen in the first half really rally his team from an 18-point deficit against the #1 team in the country at the Rose Bowl?

Hells No!

A sack from Gilbert’s blind side, a fumble and the game was over, Alabama wins the national championship. Turnovers, the one factor you can’t predict, decides the game.

There was the controversial interception on a shuffle pass, which was returned for a TD in the closing minute of the first half for Alabama, and there was the fumble at the end of the game which stood out, however Texas turned the ball over a total of five times.

In the end, it was as Texas head coach Mack Brown had predicted in his pre-game ABC interview, “whoever wins the turnover battle will win the game.”

Alabama won the game 37-21 and the turnover battle by three.

Gilbert Arenas Suspension
The NBA leveled an indefinite suspension against Washington Wizards’ foward Gilbert Arenas on Wednesday for a gun incident involving teammate Javaris Crittenton. The latest reports corroborate the initial Washington Post story that Crittenton actually loaded his gun during the incident at the Verizon Center. If true, Crittenton deserves a life long ban from the NBA.

Part of the Arenas suspension may stem from his seemingly playful nature in this pre-game huddle photo where he appears to making light of the situation modeling phantom six shooters with his hands.

Clippers best the Lakers at home/road
The Lakers play four more home games than any other team in the NBA since they share an arena with the Clippers, which is somewhat unfair. Yet, the Clippers beat the Lakers, who were without Pau Gasol –nursing a strained left hamstring — by eleven last night at the home/road venue.

Southwest is the Best
We are almost at the halfway point in the season and the Southwest division has proved itself to be the toughest division. The worst team in the division, the Memphis Grizzlies, are 17-17 and whatever team wins this division will be battle tested and ready for the playoffs.

Buy, hold or sell
Buy the Spurs – 8-2 in their last 10, as they learn how to work Richard Jefferson into the rotation.

Buy the Cavaliers and Celtics.

Hold the Lakers – still have played only 12 of 35, approximately 36%, of their games on the road.

Sell the Suns – not sold that the high-scoring, no defense act will win against good defenses in April.

Sell the Magic – losers of three straight against teams with losing records.
