Virgins Collide: Tebow & Lolo

31 May

Apparently since 29-year-old Olympic athlete, Lolo Jones, confessed her virginity people has been trying to set her up. Jones is saving herself for marriage but can’t seem to find a good man. Obviously everyone’s first pick for Jones was Jet’s QB Tim ‘the virgin’ Tebow. It’s goes along the same logic when people match up friends of the same ethnicity, he’s a virgin, she’s a virgin, obviously they were made for each other.

Now to speed along the process the fellow Jet, Nick Mangold, is trying to connect the pair and of course he is using the best means possible Twitter. Because there is nothing more that celebrity athletes love than to have their personal lives conduct for the whole world to watch. Solid plan Mangold.

Here is the conversation, in correct English. What is it about tweeting that ruins grammar?

Nick: I’m trying to get Tim Tebow to accept that he and Lolo Jones are a match made in heaven.

Lolo: Thanks Nick but I actually heard Tebow has a girlfriend he just isn’t saying it publicly. The search continues…

Lolo: Ask Tebow if he wants a glass of milk. If he says yes, ask him if he prefers chocolate. If he says no, then no more Tebow date suggestions.

Nadal 7th Time’s a Charm

31 May

Rafael Nadal aka. “The King of Clay” is on his way to beating the record he shares with Bjorn Borg of winning the French Open 6 times. He beat Denis Istomin of Uzbekistan to move onto round 3. Not that Istomin was really competition he beat him 6-2, 6-2, 6-0. For those of you unfamiliar with Nadal here is what you need to know: he’s one of the greatest tennis players ever, he’s extremely hot, he’s from Spain, and unfortunately he has a girlfriend since 2005 Maria Francisca Perelló. But don’t worry you can always visit his wax double at Madame Tussauds.

It’s Called a Belt, Use One

31 May

Apparently the invention of the belt has not made it some communities. For those of you who are confused a belt is a device used to keep loose pants from falling down. In the case of the man in this video we would really have liked it if he had purchased a belt. The man was catching a foul ball hit by Rays’ catcher José Molina. He exerted very little effort before his pants fell down, which leads us to wonder what was he doing before hand? Did he eat to much and have them open or was he a secret streaker?

Kings Still King

31 May

I would like to start out this post by saying, “thanks a lot” to whomever programed the LA Kings/New Jersey Devils game at the same time as the Boston Celtics/Miami Heat game. My remote pretty much melted when the games were over. Both games were tied in the second half and had to go into overtime. I think I finally understand and appreciate sports bars with 20 televisions. My sad remotes state aside the Kings beat the Devils, 2-1, in game 1 of the Stanley Cup.

The winning goal game with 11:47 left in overtime. Anze Kopitar scored the goal on a breakaway(basically when it is just one player and the goalie). Kopitar used one of our favorite moves the fake out and distracted the goalie, Martin Brodeur.  I love that hockey is so low scoring that if a team makes a shot in overtime the game just ends.

Heat Push Past Celtics, 115-111

31 May

I guess the Boston Celtics got my twitter message telling them to step up their game.  The Celtics played like a whole new team Wednesday night against the Miami Heat. Celtics’ Rajon Rondo had the 44 points, 10 assists, and eight rebounds.  Not only was a Rondo a scoring machine he scored all 12 of the Celtics’ points in overtime. And if you aren’t impressed by any of that then add to that he frequently used lip balm while on the court playing. As a girl I am excited when I can put on lip gloss and drive, I can’t even imagine doing it while playing basketball. Despite all Rondo’s effort and the fact that the Celtics lead for most of the game, they still lost, 115-111. The Heat now lead the series 2-0.

If you are true Celtics fans than you are blaming the refs for their loss . . . and you might have a point. When the game tied in overtime and Rondo was driving up for a basket you can clearly see the Heat’s Dwayne Wade hit him in the face. Rondo fell to the ground but there was no call. And it’s a little fishy that LeBron James alone took 24 free throws while the Celtics as a whole only took 29. Either everyone was aggressively on James out or the refs are huge Heat fans.

Game 3 is on Friday.
