Let me just start things off by saying that the Pistons are just 14 wins away from recapturing THEIR NBA championship.

Now that’s out of the way, Andrew FUCKING Bogut is a goddamn fucking asshole. This giant retard, who really can’t get things right in this best-of-seven series, had the audacity of bringing Rip Hamilton down with a serious ankle injury in Game 1.

Man… We need Rip to be 100 percent, and by the looks of what happened in Game 2, it looks like Rip will be anything BUT that.

Damn Bogut! Damn him to hell!

Hamilton aggravated the ankle injury late in the first quarter of Game 2. I know I know, the Pistons won anyway but they won’t rack up 14 more wins if Hamilton is hobbling like that.

Hamilton scored 21 points while limiting Bucks star guard Michael Redd to 11 in the…

Nope, Kobe ain’t retiring yet.

Kobe ain’t calling it quits yet, and don’t expect him to be calling for a press conference to announce his retirement anytime soon. Heck, this guy is STILL younger than some rookies in the NBA for crying out loud.

The only thing that could end in Los Angeles before next season is Kobe’s famous no.8 jersey. Apparently, Kobe has decided to change his number from his famous no.8 to no.24, the number worn by teammate, Jim Jackson.

These developments surfaced after his performance in Game 1 of their best-of-seven series with the Suns that can be surmised as… Well… ‘’Un-Kobe-like.'’ Maybe this change to no.24 could very well serve as Kobe’s own personal rebirth of sorts?

Well, after all the controversies that has surrounded the Lakers’ star, not to mention his godforsaken performance to open up his return in the NBA Playoffs, he does need to have a new lease in life.

But why would someone as talented as him opt to go for no.24, the number worn by Jim Jackson who couldn’t even shoot the basketball from point-blank range even if his life…

Yup, and it’s the oldest football in the world.

Apparently, the oldest football in the world is made from a pig’s bladder with a covering constructed from pieces of thick leather, probably from deer, and are tightly laced together.

Now that redefines what American football calls ‘’pigskin.'’

This magnificently ghastly piece of football history will travel to Germany for the World Cup. The 450-year-old ball will form the centerpiece of an exhibition on the history of the sport.

Staff at its current home in Stirling’s Smith Museum are preparing the delicate artifact for its trip to the Museum fur Volkerkunde in Hamburg.

The ball was once the property of Mary Queen of Scots and museum bosses in Germany were keen to display it after deeming it the oldest in existence. - BBC News

‘’The Germans have decided, from all the evidence, that our ball is the oldest football in the world and it will be the centerpiece of this huge exhibition,'’ said Michael McGinnes.

Michael McGinnes is the…

If your aim is to harness sympathy toward your cause, it’s not a good idea to piss off those very people who would give you that.

Amid the great Immigration Law debate that is dividing Americans, a record producer decided to further ignite, some say exploit, the issue by releasing a Spanish version of the National Anthem. A move that is catching ire among legal Americans.

I said legal, because saying ‘native’ would spark another argument whether who’s the real natives of this country undeniably founded by immigrants. And where immigrants from different parts of the world would still go through hell just to be a citizen.

Anyway, the music producer is Adam Kidron, a Briton who has been living in the US for a long time now. Therefore probabaly thought he’s already adopted all the right ingredients for a hit American tune. Not to mention the merit of messing with the national anthem.

But before you send him off to Guantanamo, hear his reason first: British music producer Adam Kidron says that when he came up with the idea of a Spanish-language version of the U.S. national anthem, he saw it as an ode to the millions of immigrants seeking a better life.

Fair enough. Then after a week the guy announced he will have Spanish hip hop artists will be singing the tune. And urges Hispanic radio stations around the…

Time for another edition of OddJack where you look at the pictures more than you read this article.

Still reading? What’s wrong with you?!?

It’s time once again for OddJack’s ‘’Top Ten Sexiest Cheerleaders'’ as the NBA Playoffs heats up.

So far, our list looks like this:

10. Pacemates

9. Cavalier Girls

8. Silver Dancers

7. DND

Okay, so without further ado, I bring to you our fifth entry for the ‘’Top Ten Sexiest Cheerleaders'’ list, at no.5, here are the Los Angeles Clippers’ Spirit Dance Team.

I know, I know, they have a cheesy name but hey, as long as they have great asses shaking at the sidelines, who cares right?

To start things up, we have the very hot Lindsay. In case you didn’t notice, we started part 4 with a hot babe named Lindsay as well. I don’t know if it’s just the name but man… These chicks can really make a man’s wand do magical stuff…

This Lindsay is currently working on a major in Deaf Studies. Now I…

Tired of kissing the boss’ ass? Lazy of getting up in the morning? Or maybe the office is just too damn far from your house in Timbuktu?

Whatever the reason may be, tardiness is always present in every work place.

Whatever the sanctions the boss slaps on those unfortunate souls unable to sit their asses on that damn chair on time, there will always be people who will come to work late.

So if you can’t help it, if you’ve done everything you can and you still come in a few minutes late, (10 minutes or an hour doesn’t really make a difference.) then you better start coming up with a ton of excuses that may or may not give you that free pass from the boss’ ever so watchful eye.

The study by CareerBuilder.com found that as many as 13 percent of American workers show up late at least once a week and that 25 percent are tardy at least once a month.

One in five of those polled said they fabricate excuses and lie to the boss about their reasons for being…

In the gambling realm, an Indian casino giant hooking up with a Vegas casino giant is all you need to procreate a new superpower.

Think America in bed with China. Better yet, think Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. Not in bed together but abandoning long-time trophy wives to knock up younger trophy girlfriends in the same year, thereby producing 2006’s most headlined celebrity babies.

Just why am I being hyperbolic? Well, aside from my being overcaffeinated, do consider the stats. Foxwoods Resort Casino in Ledyard, Connecticut, is only the world’s largest casino. This massive Native American  Indian casino resort complex, run by the Mashantucket Pequot tribe, sprawls at 4.7 million square feet of gambler-heaven space.

Now, MGM Grand is the second biggest casino operator in the US, with 23 casinos in Nevada, Mississipi, Michigan, New Jersey, and Illinois. In Las Vegas alone, it’s got Bellagio, The Mirage, and MGM Grand, which is only the world’s largest hotel.

Foxwoods is facing its toughest competition from Mohegan Sun in Connecticut, while…

The Cavaliers - Wizards series is certainly everything it was expected to be.

LeBron James made his debut in the NBA Playoffs with a resounding bang as he dropped a triple-double in Game 1 to lead the Cavaliers to a 1-0 lead over the Wizards in their best-of-seven series.

In Game 2, Washington erased LeBron’s Game 1 triple-double with a triple of their own; Antawn Jamison, Caron Butler and Gilbert Arenas.

Antawn Jamison and Caron Butler dropped an identical 21-point performance while Gilbert Arenas dropped a game-high 30 points to make sure they will return to Washington D.C. with the home-court advantage in this series.

Sorry LeBron, it’s about time your egotistical ass gets back to the grim reality of playing for Cleveland, Ohio.

The fifth-seeded Wizards found a way to corral James, who had 32 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists in his playoff debut Saturday but missed 18 shots and committed 10 turnovers - one shy of the NBA playoff record - as the fourth-seeded Cavaliers gave away…

Oh yes, J.J. Jack can’t get enough of those legs.

About two years ago, the long-legged Stacy Keibler was, ‘’sexaminated,'’ so to speak, by that li’l magazine every red-blooded horny male has in the bathroom.

Oh yes, for all ya’ll who call playing RPGs the whole day a good time, I’m talking about Playboy magazine.

Stacy Keibler is a bona fide product of the professional wrestling business, or should I say, ‘’sports entertainment,'’ that’s what they call it nowadays anyway. Professional wrestling brought these hot ‘’divas'’ to the world, the likes of Stacy and Candice Michelle, and being a pro wrestling fan myself, I’m sure proud to be one of many wrestling fans who see these hot pussies every week.

Ms. Keibler, upon her arrival at Vince McMahon’s World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE), thought she would be needing a boob job since most of the girls there have one. But she was told that she wouldn’t have to, since she has those killer legs and that great ass anyway.

Drool.

‘’When I came to WWE, I felt certain that I’d have to get breast implants because some of the other girls did have them. But…
