10 Olympic Athletes You Should Follow on Twitter
29 JunBurning Offer Letters Doesn’t Make You Cool
15 Jun
There has been a trend lately in college sports of burning offer letters from rival schools and posting the pictures on Twitter. It started with Michigan commit Logan Tuley-Tillman who burned his offer from Ohio State. After posting the pictures on twitter Tillman received several death threats from Ohio fans. Things even got as bad as Tillman’s mom getting nasty messages on Facebook.
So in the end maybe not the best idea to burn you offer letter and post it on Twitter? Of course this has started a trend of burning offer letters. Brigham Young University commit Brayden Kearsley took a picture of him burning his offer letter from Utah.
I want to make it really clear when you burn an offer letter you just look like a jackass. Someone is offering you money to play a sport at their school not insulting you. It’s the equivalent of burning money. Let’s try to stay classy young recruits.

The Spurs I Used to Know
4 Jun
The beginning of the series between the San Antonio Spurs and Oklahoma City Thunder seems like a million years ago. In Games 1 & 2 The Spurs were undefeated and it seemed like nothing could stop them. Then in Game 4 everything changed and it has me asking, “What happened to the Spurs that I used to know?” I was so desperate for answers that I typed into google, “Why are the Spurs losing?” Not even google had an answer. But recommend other baffling questions I could ask like, “Why are the Kardashians rich?” and “Why are the Irish lucky?” So there you have it, the questions of the Spurs sucking is just as confusing to people as why the Kardashians are rich.
I am in no means a Spurs fan from back in the day, I simply picked them to take home the prize in my bracket. And we all know how loyal I am to my bracket. Monday night’s Game 5 was the chance for the Spurs to rise from the dead and take this series by the balls(literally). But that didn’t happen. In fact the opposite happened. The Spurs lost on their home court for the first time since 2009. The Thunder beat them 108-103.
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.
Essential Kitchen Item- ATM
30 May
Nets’ DeShawn Stevenson really loves money. So much that he needs an ATM in his kitchen. Stevenson twittered a picture of his outfit but the only thing people noticed was his kitchen ATM. I can’t really blame the guy, I mean I always that person without cash handy. The real question on everyone’s mind is does it charge him a fee?
Stevenson is also famous for having a 5 dollar bill tattoo on his neck. In his defense the tattoo was originally just of Abe Lincoln but apparently no one recognized him so Stevenson added the 5 to the sides. The tattoo was meant to symbolize the end of slavery. I think the saddest thing about that tattoo is that no one recognized Lincoln. Is our education system really getting so bad that people only know Lincoln’s face if it in between two 5s? Next people will think he was really a vampire hunter.

The 29-Year-Old Virgin
23 May
Ladies and gentleman, we have a treat for you tonight. Seldom spotted in the wild, we have come across a rare breed. The virgin professional athlete. *Cue Wild Kingdom theme music*
Tebow is not the only one saving himself for marriage. Hurdling star Lolo Jones said she is remaining a virgin for her future husband during an interview on Real Sports. Jones, 29, said staying a virgin has been harder than graduating college and training for the Olympics.
She originally revealed this fun fact on Twitter, which is universally recognized as the best place to search for a hook-up husband.
While nobody ever thought Britney was a virgin back in the day, it is somehow more believable to me that an athlete like Jones is. After all, a successful athlete’s top priority should be their game. Maybe Jones just isn’t a good multi-tasker.
I have to wonder, is Lolo drawing attention to herself for publicity, or because 30 is right around the corner and all the pent-up sexual energy is constantly on her mind?

Oh Tebow It’s Just A Little Skin
21 May
Tim Tebow is requesting that a photo of him and cast member from Rock of Ages be taken down off Twitter. Some of the actresses are showing a little skin and he wants it to be clear that he doesn’t support that. Like he told Jockey, “I’ll be in your ads just not in my underwear.” I’m not sure how you sell underwear without showing it but whatever. I think he is just opposed to the fact that the actresses are dressed a little porno like not that hot. Because I googled Tebow and bikini (shockingly no photoshop liking of him in one) and found these photos of Tebow happily surrounded by bikini babes. To that I say as a Christian shouldn’t you love all half naked women equally hot or not? Also ironically the media probably would have missed this photo if you hadn’t called our attention to it, thanks for that.

Tebowing Goes Virtual
21 May
If it weren’t enough that the act of tebowing spread to basketball with Celtics’ star Paul Pierce now it will be available on Madden 13. No girls Madden 13 has nothing to do with Steve Madden or shoes. Madden is a video game that men play to make them feel like they are pro-football players. And as someone who has played Madden I can tell you it is about as exciting as you would imagine.
The game apparently felt they were missing something so they decide to include tebowing. By definition tebowing is the act of dropping to one knee and praying it. It is usually a form of celebration. The creators of Madden have not explained whether or not every player will have the option to tebow or if it will just be Tim Tebow’s character.
I’m not sure how many guys will want to tebow in Madden after watching this clip from Tosh.0.
Where the Lakers Screwed Up
20 May
Kevin Durant looked more like an MVP than ever before Saturday night. The Oklahoma City Thunder who trailed behind the Los Angeles Lakers for most of the game came back in the 4th quarter for the win. Durant made an incredible 3-point tie breaking shot with 13.7 seconds left. This means that the Thunder lead the series 3-1.
If you are Lakers fan you are wondering how did this happen? How did we come so close but not seal the deal? It’s like a date where you bought dinner, drinks, and then somehow are left standing on the doorstep by yourself.
Here is a list of reason of what may have happened?
1. Not only did Durant score 31 points in the game he had great support from Russell Westbrook who scored 37 points. I know you are thinking but Kobe Bryant is one of the greatest players of all time. This is true and Bryant scored 38 points for the Lakers. The difference is Bryant did have the same kind of support. Pau Gasol was not playing aggressively last night and only scored 10 points and had 5 rebounds. Which is bad enough without Bryant blaming the game on him in the media. Andrew Bynum scored 18 points for the Lakers.
