Your winner and the recipient of this impressive cache of No Fear memora...errr, things – you know him, you love him – Isaac, maker and creator of the blog The World of Isaac.
In lieu of a victory speech, he submits this video…
Class. I can’t wait to ship this guy a case of something called Bloodshot Energy Drink.
Yannick the tennis phenom went pro in ’77 at the age of 17. Among his feats of tennis prowess include becoming the first Frenchman to win the French Open in 37 years when he did so in 1983 (dropping only one set throughout the tournament). During his career, Noah won a combined 39 singles and doubles titles and was inducted into the Tennis Hall of Fame in 2005. He also played on the French Davis Cup Team for 11 years. In 1991, Noah captained a French team which won its first Davis Cup title in 59 years.
That same year, Noah released his debut album Black of What. Apparently, after winning the Davis Cup, he led his player and the whole stadium in a rousing rendition of Saga Africa, his breakout track off of Black or What. (Wikipedia – Yannick Noah)
Important Things with Demetri Martin has been fairly solid through the first two episodes. He’s shouldering a lot of the material burden himself, and hopefully won’t burn out of jokes too soon.
One guy who’s helping Demetri out in the bulk of the sketches is the highly skilled H. Jon Benjamin. Check out this video from last night’s episode of Important Things where Demetri and H. Jon get in a wannabe tough guy battle for the parking space…
Recognize that bald dude’s voice? It’s your old pal Coach McGuirk from Home Movies! Here’s a few of the classic moments from the consummate cartoon field commander himself…
I vehemently disagree with #14 on this so-called All-Time Ugliest list.
Not only does Dan Issel look handsome as hell in this get-up, but it’s common knowledge that the old school Nugs logo is coveted, and the attire sought after by true sports purists and fashionistas alike.
Disagree?
I suggest you take it up with Ebay user ladyoflaurel, who went through the trouble of stealing a dept. store mannequin to display the Nuggets Starter jacket she is selling on Ebay.
Or maybe, Ebay user 4all2envy, who’s selling an old school Nuggets crew neck sweatshirt for $143 bucks, would like to weigh in?
The rest of the list is pretty atrocious and more or less justified.
NEW YORK (AP) — ESPN and the New York City Department of Education are teaming up to create a new high school focusing on the business side of sports.
The Business of Sports School, or BOSS, will open in September with 81 ninth grade students.
The school plans to emphasize real world skills through mandatory internships at companies like ESPN The Magazine, ABC Sports, and VitaminWater.
The school is part of Mayor Michael Bloomberg’s push to modernize outdated vocational or trade schools. (AP)
The last few graphs could have read that B.O.S.S. is actually a Voc. Tech school, and students will have to do mandatory shifts at the ESPN Zone in Times Square.
You had me sold at B.O.S.S. (As in: Who’s the Boss?…Hugo BOSS). They’re actually naming a school B.O.S.S.
Low Vs. Diamond was totally worth braving the elements for last night. Phase one of my musical odyssey this weekend es completa. Weezy F. Baby tonight!
The Lady Rams of my alma mater Fordham University got off the snide last night, and broke their 35-game losing streak, defeating the Manhattan Lady Jaspers 62-49 in the annual Battle of the Bronx.

Last year, Fordham set an NCAA record win 29 consecutive losses in one season. Their new recipe for success in 08-09, some dude named Randall Hurst, who led the team in scoring with 19 points in last night’s win.
I kid. The lovely and talented Miss Hurst (Junior, Forward) hit two three-pointers during a 19-4 run in the second half that put Fordham in control.
Despite the 2007-08 season of fruitlessness, Fordham didn’t even flirt with the NCAA record for consecutive losses – 58 by the 1987-89 Long Island University teams.
If last night’s MGMT concert was prologue to what’s in store this Halloween weekend. Holy. Toledo.
Dressed handsomely as a mariachi band, they put a hurting on Webster Hall in NYC last night. I scored a ticket last minute, because somebody wanted to go see Philadelphia burn. Sports and Rock n’ Roll converge, and everybody wins. It’s a beautiful thing.
Check out the song that got this band signed, Kids. Got to battle horrendous fan vocal stylings (from what sounds like a singular douche, possibly the same guy with camera) – par for the course with in-crowd videos. The highlight comes about 3:00 minutes in; I’ll give you a hint: it’s shredding.
If anyone gets their hands on photos or the cover of ‘Girls Just Want to Have Fun’, send it my way!
