Top Ten Sexiest Cheerleaders Part 1 of 10

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

Yup, it’s baaack.

It’s another OddJack Top Ten and this time, we will take a look at the top ten sexiest cheerleaders in the NBA. This is big folks because while we feature these drop-dead gorgeous cheerleaders, their respective teams will be gearing up for the NBA Playoffs.

Being included in the NBA Playoffs is an awesome feat already and it is only fitting that we acknowledge these playoff-bound teams’ beautiful set of asses at the sidelines. It’s OddJack’s way of thanking these teams for at least 128 more games of watching these cheerleaders shake their booty in the NBA Playoffs.

So without further ado, let’s start with our very first entry. At No.10, I give you the Pacemates of the Indiana Pacers…


Village People Cop Impersonator Going To Jail

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

San Francisco police arrested that cop from the Village People. And not for impersonating a police officer nor for co-writing those schizy disco hits YMCA and In The Navy. Nope, he’s paying his sins against society for totally different reasons.

Victor Willis, the original policeman in the 1970s disco band the Village People, pleaded not guilty Tuesday to drug possession and giving false identification to a police officer. His arrest Sunday ended a five-month search for the former hitmaker.

Yes, Village People commune, he was on the run for parole violation. He was arrested last year for coccaine possession and agreed to a plea bargain that would have resulted in a prison term of no more than 16 months, but he bolted out and never showed up for sentencing.

So the fake cop went into hiding. However, real cops could smell a fake cop from a mile away. And there he was stopped while driving by the streets of San Francisco. Now he’s facing up to five years in prison for pissing off the authorities he once sought to emulate.

Macho, macho man he may be…


Blogger/Blogspot Victimized by Their Own Stupidity

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

Oops, the mighty Google accidentally deleted its blog.

Yup, Google admitted that it accidentally deleted its own blog last Monday. Google has been notorious for deleting other people’s blogs whenever it brands the blog as spam. Turns out, Google found itself as one huge pile of spam. Talk about a big blunder eh?

‘’We’ve determined the cause of tonight’s outage. The blog was mistakenly deleted by us (d’oh!) which allowed the blog address to be temporarily claimed by another user,'’ Jason Goldman said.

Goldman is the stupid sonuvabitch who keeps deleting our blogs whenever he sees fit only to have another stupid sonuvabitch claim our original URLs. Oh yeah, he also happens to be Blogger’s Product Manager.

On that note…




Tigers will Maul Bruins… Sorry Baron…

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

LSU is one tough nut to crack.

Yup, with the size they have coming in to their matchup with the UCLA Bruins, the LSU Tigers will decimate any puny frontcourt those Bruins can come up with.

Heck, Tyrus Thomas alone is one tough giant to escape from inside the paint with the way he swats the basketball away from the hoop. And then there’s LSU’s ‘’Big Baby,'’ Glen Davis, a giant with the genetic composition of a man that goes by the name of Shaquille O’Neal, that can power his way through basically EVERYBODY, whenever he chooses.

Sorry Baron Davis, (Warriors point guard, Baron Davis, is a UCLA product, in case you didn’t know) but your Bruins won’t have a chance.

Tyrus Thomas’ leaping ability is superhuman and he can use that with his gorilla-like…


Return of a Supernova

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

The Phoenix Suns just got a whole lot better.

Steve Nash is currently doing a spectacular job this season of leading the Phoenix Suns to become one of the best teams, not only in the Western Conference, but in the entire NBA as well. Now, they just got a whole lot better.

Yes, Amare Stoudemire is back.

Amare Stoudemire made his return to the Phoenix Suns lineup and instantaneously, stirred quite an impact when his Suns battled the lowly Portland Trailblazers.

Portland was spectacular a few seasons ago with Rasheed Wallace and Scottie Pippen, now, some guy named Viktor Khryapa leads them in scoring? Jeezuschrist… What happened to Rose Garden’s…


A Patriotic Cinderella Story

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

‘’We seeded them too low.'’

Yeah, ya’ think? These were the sentiments of Virginia athletic director, Craig Littlepage, as he talked about George Mason while watching them gallop all the way to Indianapolis.

The no.11 seed in this year’s NCAA March Madness brackets, George Mason dropped opposing teams, one at a time, to join UCLA, Florida and LSU in this year’s NCAA Final Four.

Yes, no top seed made it this year, all the more reason why they call it, ‘’March Madness.'’

George Mason’s run at the NCAA promise land, is by far, the greatest run ever in NCAA Final Four history. George Mason, named after one of the founders of the…


Florida Derby Runs on April Fool’s Day

Tuesday, March 28th, 2006

Gulfstream’s Florida Derby happens on April 1, and altho it is considered a top prep race for the coming Kentucky Derby in May no big-names are lining up for post position. Except for one.

Probably the race date has something to do with it? Yes, in a big way says one analyst:

"This year’s Florida Derby, I’m sorry to say, lives up to its date – April Fool’s Day. That’s because the prep is either too close or not far enough away from the Kentucky Derby.

When Gulfstream Park’s showcase event is held in March, 3-year-olds heading to Churchill Downs can fit in another meaningful prep. Because the $1 million race has been staged five weeks before the first Saturday in May, top contenders often skip it. History proves that’s the way to go."

One contender isn’t skipping the party down the Sunshine state. Barbaro, an undefeated horse who also won the Holy Bull and all his past races. And therefore he’ll probably get the highest odds to bag this one.

So where…


Rock and All That Sophomoric Crap

Monday, March 27th, 2006

Just what’s this stupid crap coming out of guitar cords they call ‘’rock?'’

Yeah, you read it, J.J. Jack is taking on rock n’ roll in all it’s stupid glory today. You don’t like it? Bite me.

Rock n’ roll may be rich with history. Of course, its obvious predecessors include the likes of some of the icons of music like Elvis and The Beatles. Some would even go and say that rock n’ roll IS a well-defined genre, considering all these crap it evolved into like Alternative Rock and Heavy Metal.

But starting with Buddy Holly, the term ‘’rock music'’ became fuzzier and fuzzier. The Beach Boys then played surf music and The Beatles’ music was Mersey-beta, a variant of pop music. Hell, fucking Dylan was a fucking folk singer. But somehow, someway, they all got branded with the term, ‘’rock music.'’

Just what is this shit called ‘’rock music?'’ There’s really no definition of rock music to begin with. To be honest, rock music to me is written by monkeys with pencils who can’t get real jobs and spend the rest of their day getting high. I see rock as a brand of sophomoric music that included artists who played mainly electronic and digital instruments.

Rock has no originality, it’s called rock simply because…


Who’s Moving Forward?

Monday, March 27th, 2006

The Forward.

That position in basketball changed throughout the years, now we have power forwards and small forwards. Heck, we even have this point forward now, whatever the hell does that mean. Phil Jackson sure is one weird dude for inventing things like that.

But of all the forwards in the NBA, who is moving forward this year?

Gerald Wallace.

Gerald Wallace has been playing under the radar this year, and I’m sure none of you knew that he is having an All-Star-like season with the Charlotte Bobcats. (Of course, playing for a team without ANY real offensive threat surely helps.)

Wallace is still improving, as well. He’s only 23 years old and is really in only his second season of action, because he spent three seasons at the end of Sacramento’s bench before the Bobcats stole him in the expansion draft.

As a result, he figures to be one of the game’s top forwards for a long time coming. - ESPN

Aside from carrying the ‘’Wallace'’ name…


NCAA March Madness Is In Business

Monday, March 27th, 2006

This college basketball story is brought to you by the number 3.8 billion.

That number has always been famous: life on earth started that many years ago, dodo.

But evolution takes a back seat until April 3rd, the NCAA basketball championship, because $3.8 billion is how much US businesses are losing to March Madness.

Business trend consultants Challenger, Gray & Christmas Inc. earmarked the staggering amount as money in lost productivity from millions of US workers following NCAA basketball while at work.

This especially includes participating in March Madness office betting pools. Everyone’s in it, including the long-legged receptionist, so you know what to do to show her the real score.

The Chicago-based consulting firm arrived at the amount of $3.8 billion primarily by considering data that reported some 41% of US workers, or like 58 million people, as basketball fans.

Via tracking data, they estimated US workers followed the March Madness online  at an average of 13.5 minutes per day. (Is it me or does this estimate sound more conservative than Utah?) This alone is costing companies a sweet $237 million a day.

You know how you never feel guilty for dosing off at work, thinking all the stress…
