Athlete Makeovers: What Were You Thinking Edition

Hair issues, Tattoos 52 Comments »

chris-birdman-andersonIn the span of a few years, Chris Anderson went from mild-mannered, run-of-the-mill NBA reserve to “the Birdman,” a tattooed weirdo with enough gel in his hair to rival Richie in the Summer of Sam. The rest of the slideshow isn’t as jarring, except for Sammy Sosa, of course.

Thanks for the support.  The site is still running.  TBL is en route back to the home offices.  He will take over tonight.  If TBL is the Godfather, I, hopefully, was at least better than Fredo.

Somalia has the worst crisis in Africa, which is saying something.  Dick Cheney, Gay Marriage advocate?  The Iranians will receive Fourth of July invitations. Who steals rabbits? Do media people understand that no one is on twitter at 8:00 AM?

Barry Bonds, Baseball, Hair issues 19 Comments »

Barry Bonds’ legal team moved to preempt discussion of his putative physical deformities.

Courtroom 10 in the federal courthouse should be free of crude discussion of Barry Bonds‘ allegedly shriveled testicles, supposed premature baldness and rumored massive head – at least that was the spirited argument Wednesday in a defense filing in the perjury case.

Before we, literally, arrive at the crown jewel of this legal petition. How does one have a “rumored massive head?” It’s either massive or it isn’t. Either way, it’s unavoidable.
