Seahawks Take Kris Durham After Photo Of WR Jumping Over Mom Surfaces

Posted: 14 Jun 2011 10:03 AM PDT

You know what gets an NFL GM excited? A wide receiver who can leap over his 6-foot-2 mother and still have clearance to make the landing. That guy holding the photo of former Georgia WR Kris Durham skying over his mom is Seattle Seahawks GM John Schneider, who’s in charge of building a team that can go 9-7 and make the playoffs. Schneider had an interesting draft strategy this year. He took a guy who never visited the team, but did send them the photo you see above.

“We do like tall wide receivers,” Schneider tells the “Rookie Spotlight” host.

With a straight face, Schneider explains it wasn’t because Kris Durham was tall or lanky that the team drafted him in the 4th round. It was the photo.

Now, that’s probably an exaggeration – smirk, smirk.

Here is what SI said about this guy before the NFL Draft.

“Dependable receiver who gets the most from his ability. Smart, tough, and gives effort in all aspects. Comes back to the ball out of breaks, works to come free, and sacrifices his body in order to make the reception. Effectively uses the sidelines, consistently extends his hands, and catches the ball away from his frame. Sturdy wide out who takes the big hit yet holds onto the ball. Effectively adjusts to the errant pass. Always finds a way to come free. Gets results blocking down the field.”

Nope, nothing about jumping over his mom. SI continued by writing that Durham “could make an NFL roster as a fifth receiver.”
There’s always a diamond-in-the-rough. Have to admit we are rooting for this guy because it’s very possible that he’ll be the very first wide receiver to jump completely over the cross-bar after scoring a touchdown. That’s something we need to see.

Dallas Mavericks Cheerleader NBA Finals Celebratory Bikini Time [12 Photos]

Posted: 14 Jun 2011 08:34 AM PDT

They’re cheerleaders, alright. Enough of this “NBA Dancer” garbage. If you put pompoms in a chick’s hand and have them go nuts after a made basket, they’re cheerleaders. Now that’s out of the way, let’s tell you how the Dallas Mavericks cheerleaders have to be one of the most secretive units in all of sports. We’ve literally spent hundreds of man hours trying to show you something – maybe a bikini – other than the normal cheerleader uniform pics. In the end, a tipster came knocking.

He called himself Wes.

“Seriously….we win the NBA title and send LeBron to vacation and cant get you idiots to do sh@t on the Mavs dancers. HOTTest chicks in the league”

The spelling disaster continued.

“Dude bout time BC show off my favurite chick from the mavs….Casie”

Never claimed to have the best spellers reading this site. Of course the intro email eased our apprehension over opening attachments from some guy named ‘Wes.’ What we found were 13 random shots of this Casie chick who was a rookie Mavs cheerleader this year. She likes sushi or Mexican food, lists her eyes and long legs as best assets, has a fat beagle and goes to Richland College.

Let us make it very clear to you idiots how difficult it is to get a peek behind the Iron Curtain that is NBA ‘Dance’ squads on the Internet. Very rare to secure bikini pics. Facebook accounts are on lockdown. Photos including beer cans are almost like pulling a Honus Wagner card out of your backyard. The odds are astronomical. These ladies should probably work for the CIA.

That’s why we’ve turned to you guys who already have favorites and want the world to know there are hot chicks out there shaking it who need to be recognized.

Keep sending the tips, leads and photos. Be like Wes and rip us. Doesn’t bother us a bit.

Paul Pierce Plays At WSOP, Wears NBA Championship Ring! [Photos]

Posted: 14 Jun 2011 07:16 AM PDT

What is a ridiculously wealthy NBAer to do with his summer and a near certain lockout looming? Head to the World Series of Poker! Paul Pierce is in Vegas. So is Donyell Marshall. Both were playing yesterday in a $1500 Hold ‘Em event and Pierce decided to roll out the most intimidating card protector we’ve ever seen. Yes, that would be a Celtics world champion brick ring on his right hand next to the Red Bull.

PokerListings.com was able to get a few minutes with the future hall-of-famer:

"I think poker has really helped me develop patience and that helps me in everything I do in life," Pierce told PokerListings.com during a break from the tournament action.

"It helps me on the basketball court, to be more patient and to be more of a thinking player and to be smarter out there," he continued.

Maintaining a low profile, with sunglasses and a hoodie pulled low over his face, Pierce told us he was thrilled to be playing on poker's biggest stage.

"I've been watching the World Series and I've seen how the games roll and how exciting it is and I'm just trying to be a part of that," he said as he stacked the chips won in the last hand before the break.

Word on the street is that Pierce was eliminated. No word on if he made the money. As for Marshall, he’s barely been noticed. We’re guessing he got knocked out because always reliable Twitter is silent about his performance.

Old Texas Coot Popped After NBA Finals For Sports Gambling Ring! [Cuff 'Em]

Posted: 14 Jun 2011 06:33 AM PDT

The fine folks of San Antonio are much safer this morning after some 67-year-old baldy with an Italian name was cuffed for running a sports gambling ring. Federico Felan was a bookie. A big-time bookie. How big? Dude had $200,000 in cash from Sunday’s NBA Finals Game 5. $140,000 was stashed in his daughter-in-law’s trunk. Local authorities wanted to bust this guy at the peak of his career so they went after him yesterday post-Finals Mavs victory.

MySanAntonio.com sent out its Sports Gambling Ring Investigation Unit to get the full story:

Federico Felan, 67, was arrested at 8 a.m. in the 5600 block of Brookhill Street on the Northwest Side and charged with money laundering, a second degree felony.

Felan was leaving his house to make his rounds when officers pulled him over for a traffic stop, said Lt. Tammy Burr, Bexar County’s Sheriff’s narcotics unit commander.

Officers found $10,000 in his pockets. He consented to a search his car, where they found another $9,000, Burr said.

Glenn Sanders, a deputy close to the investigation, said Felan admitted to gambling and gave officers consent to search his home. An additional $140,000 was found in Felan’s stepdaughter’s car trunk, Burr said.

Officers had been investigating Felan for close to seven months, and were waiting for the end of the NBA Finals before making a move.

Local TV station KENS5 reiterates how big Felan’s operation was with this nugget.

While Investigators said this was a large bust, they claim Felan had been doing it for years, placing millions of dollars worth of bets over the past 3 decades.

How sad for those local bettors who took the Mavs and the points in Game 6. Sorry, bros. Doesn’t seem like you’ll be getting paid. Maybe call the police station and ask if they plan to make good on all bets. That’s probably the right thing to do this morning.

Canucks Chick’s Vulgar Messages For Bruins Fan [Morning Twitpics]

Posted: 14 Jun 2011 04:52 AM PDT

This NHL Stanley Cup Finals is starting to grow on us because of the two warring factions cheering their respective teams. On one side you have nearly all of Canada using nationality as a rallying cry. Then you have 2.3% of the U.S. citizenry who even know Boston is in the Finals and those people live in a 300-mile radius around Boston. But they’re rabid. Now it all comes down to a GM 7. Canucks chick wants to take the trash talk beyond a crescendo with what shouldn’t go over well with Bruins Nation.

Her account is @simplycrazyme14 and here are her choice words to chew on if you live within that 300-mile radius. (Those of us who don’t could care less.)

showin’ some love for the ‘nucks ? <3 ahaa suck on that bruins !

And that was followed with:

boston blows, sucks & swallows .
boston does a lot .
gotta give ‘em props .

i mean canucks only know how to win …

Cuban Trophy Crisis & Who’s Up For Some #DeepRapQuestions? [Burnt Toast]

Posted: 14 Jun 2011 04:22 AM PDT

Burnt Toast

The Greatest Tweets in the History of the Internet* (*In The Last 24 Hours)

Cuban Trophy Crisis

@ImaGM: Photo: Miami Herald runs advertisement selling the @MiamiHEAT championship t-shirts and hats 

Does anyone else not see right through this? A Brilliant PR move by Macy’s in the Miami area. The ad ran after Game 6, which means even had the Heat won, they would have still had to wait until Wednesday to run the right ad. Like people weren’t going to shop at Macy’s because of this “Mistake”. Bravo Macy’s….Bravo

@JohnKasich: Proud to name the Dallas Mavericks Honorary Ohioans for a day!

When the Governor of a state declares another city’s team honorary members of the state because they defeated another city’s team, you might want to GET THE HELL OUT OF THAT STATE. Seriously Ohio, stop it. You are starting to remind me of Mikey in Swingers when he leaves 10 different answering machine messages.

@CanadianMike101: Owner Mark Cuban will cover the entire cost of the Mavs championship celebration. I bet he throws one of the great bashes of all-time

Going from Sports hero to douche happens all the time, Tiger….Lebron…etc, but has anyone gone from Sports Douche to Sports Hero like Cuban? Damn fine 72 hours for you sir. Now, just don’t get caught with blow and an underage Filipino tranny.

@KegnEggs: Deshawn Stevenson’s shirt has been named 2011 NBA Finals MVP

Yes. Yes it did.

Frozen Soccer Game 6 or 7 or something

@JTTheBrick: Someone call the Canucks Pilot and tell him to fuel up the jet and get ready to head back to Vancouver for Game 7.

C’mon JT…That’s so sexist….perhaps the pilot is a female!!!! Just kidding, women only have 65% of the mental capacity of men, combine that with the pilot being Canadian, then that number heads south to 28.3%. Give the NHL credit though, at least they go 7 game series the right way. 2-2-1-1-1 is the way to roll.

@Sharapovasthigh LOLuongo

When people are commenting that Lebron had a better 24 hours than you, it’s probably means your night did not go as planned. Roberto Luongo is unreal to watch right now. So good, then so bad. Game 7 is going to be must watch TV, unless something else worth watching is on.

@DarrenRovell: In Vancouver, told only 3 brokers own more than 20 tickets. That’s why a Game 7 get-in could cost $3K.

Finally, Canada gets something right. Ticket brokers are right above dentists, and right below proctologists on my scale of likability. Tickets should only be purchased legally at the box office or online. If you want more than 4, then you have to get a special waiver that has to be signed in Bald Eagle blood in order to be valid.

HASHTAG OF THE NIGHT

#DeepRapQuestions

Last night while watching the blowout in the Stanley Cup Finals, the song “My Mind Playing Tricks on Me” came on. Which lead me to ponder the question….Had Halloween not fell on a weekend, would the Ghetto Boys still have gone Trick or Treating? (If it was a Tuesday, no way it happens)

A collection of some of the best……

@MarcasG: What if the chicks in the living room getting it on wanted to leave before 6 in the morning? 

I’m not sure. Catch a cab?

@NuggetsNews: Hey @PeterBurnsRadio ..what if Skee-Lo did, in fact, become a little bit taller?

The real question, who would want to have a Rabbit in a Hat WITH a bat & then have the audacity to ask for a ’64 Impala

@SpaffODC: What if Old Dirty Bastard didn’t like it raw? 

Then with his 38 kids, he must have been using the Roberto Luongo brand of Condoms

@Jad626: Did Mrs. Jackson ever stop crying and accept Outkast’s apology? 

The real question, was he fo’ realllllllll?

@WayneWalls: Isn’t it still fun, even if the homies don’t have some?

That question has been pondered many times by Stephen Garcia’s teammates.

@DannyCharabel: If you did have 2 of Amerikaz most wanted in the same MF place at the same MF time, why couldn’t we catch them?

Lack of intelligence sharing?

@BK1043: Hey @PeterBurnsRadio what if one of Jay-Z’s 99 Problems, was, in fact, a b*tch?

Or perhaps what if Jay-Z didn’t want his baby to know he was a Hustla?

@PeterBurnsRadio: What if you Whoomped, and it still wasn’t there? 

@PeterBurnsRadio: What if Warren G hadn’t hooked a left on 21 & Lewis?

@PeterBurnsRadio: Had Ice Cube not F**ked around, could he have got a Quadruple Double?

Had to quote myself, I got that hashtag trending….so remember kids, $120,000 college education, and you to can get something trending!!!! #ParentingFail

And my favorite #DeepRapQuestion of the Night:

@RonnieKohrt: What if Jay-Z isn’t paying Dwayne Wade….He’s actually paying LeBron??? 

WINNER!!!!!

Jenn Brown About To Bust A Cap In A Boar’s Ass! [Photos]

Posted: 13 Jun 2011 03:41 PM PDT

It’s been nearly two years since we discovered Jenn Brown for the sports blogosphere at ESPN GameDay in Columbus for the USC-Ohio State game. That was one of our prouder moments with this operation. Anyway, Jenn is now a fully established media personality and has become Erin Andrews-lite. The only problem has been the lack of images. Jenn rarely uploads a photo of herself, only uploading two current self-shots in the last two months. So imagine our delight today when she showed off these gun range shots. Straight gangsta!

Miss Universe Zuleyka Rivera Is World-Champion WAG; Tweets Translated! [Photos]

Posted: 13 Jun 2011 01:11 PM PDT

Dallas Mavericks’ guard J.J. Barea is one lucky little Puerto Rican. He’s now an NBA champion, a household name and he’s dating fellow Puerto Rican Zuleyka Rivera, who was Miss Universe in 2006.

Have I mentioned J.J. Barea is a lucky bastard?

Rivera was understandably excited for her man last night, but since she tweets in Spanish, we didn’t have any idea what she was saying.

Okay, that’s a lie. We were really just sitting around surfing galleries of her, which makes you the big winner today.

And just in case you were wondering what she had to say about the Mavs’ win, well, here you go.

Tweet one, to Barea after the game was over.

@jjbareapr I am so proud of you! There is no way to explain the emotion I feel! There are simply no words!

Tweet two, apparently to everyone else.

Tonight we have a ring!

Tweet three, thanking the people of Puerto Rico.

For those of you who’ve always supported us to the last second! Thank you!!!! Puerto Rico!!
