The Roundup: It's One Of Those Days

I thought Antonio Cromartie naming all of his children and their ages would be the best video/story I would see today. Oh boy was I wrong. In fact, there are several great videos/stories popping up around the Internet this morning. I was really wrong. Continue reading to see all the craziness from this morning.



I've Seen Young Boys on the Internet: Add another reason why soccer sucks. They have a team called the "Young Boys." Not only does that name make that team sound like a group of horny ice cream man, it does create some of the greatest unintentional comedy. And that's exactly what happened to Sky Sports Reporter Andy Burton. The unintentional comedy scale reached an 8 with that report.



That's One Way To Win An Election:  An celebrity endorsement can do wonders for a political candidate. Think Obama would have done so well if he didn't have Oprah and other Hollywood celebrities backing him in 2008? For Dorthy Davidson, running for mayor in a Alabama town, an endorsement from Nick Saban would mean everything. She claimed to be endorsed from Saban and had the photo for proof.


Only one problem, the photo had been shopped. Mrs. Davidson shopped herself onto a picture with Saban. She shopped her photo over a photo of Saban's wife standing next to him. Outstanding! Who knew politicians lied?

Vin Scully is 20 Years Too Late to the Party: I'm not a Dodgers fan but I've always respected their announcer Vin Scully. He's a legend and it will be a sad day when he's no longer calling Dodger games. Scully called one of my favorite moments of all-time in sports. Vinny though is getting older and he isn't familiar with all these new hair styles. Take the Tennessee Top Hat for instance. At the moment Colorado Rockie Troy Tulowitzki is rocking the Kentucky Waterfall and it confuses Vinny.



LeGarrett Blount Has a Punching Problem: Remember when you where growing up? We all had problems. Some kids had a biting problem, some kids smelled, and some kids liked to fight. LeGarrette Blount has a fighting/punching problem. The former Oregon running back who knocked out the trash-talking Boise State lineman, has thrown another punch. This time it was at Tennessee Titans camp against one of his own teammates. Blount apologized and was immediately put in a timeout.



Brett Favre's Greatest Retirements: Jimmy Kimmel with the line of the day, "Favre could be the first player to have his jersey retired before he does."



Now Your Clothes Will Smell Like Chlorine: Apparently Georgia coach Mark Richt has a tradition of jumping off a 10-meter high diving board in front of his team. Since rain canceled Georgia's practice yesterday, Richt would carry on his tradition of jumping into the pool. Only this time he was fully clothed and it was videotaped.



Looks Like I Found a Christmas Gift For My Father: Without further ado, my next Christmas gift.

  1. I laugh every time I see that Saban photoshopped picture.
