I hope this video will teach you little daredevil’s out there to not try anything tricky on your bicycles, skateboards or in his case, pogo sticks. Although he may have been wearing a helmet, unfortunately for him, he didn’t land on his head. Maybe next time he’ll wear a mouth guard as well.

Learn from this children of America. Or prepare to have your friends stand over you, and laugh at you.

I’m always posting videos on football and basketball and after watching these soccer bloopers, I feel a bit bad for neglecting the world of futbol. Who would have known that watching a little kid get pelted in the face with a soccer ball could be so fun!

Sorry, I’m a sick man.

Not sure if you tuned into last night’s Cavaliers and Celtics game, but apparently there was more than one James that was giving Boston problems last night. In the video, you’ll see Paul Pierce try to wrap James up for an intentional foul and then make their way into the crowd. But momma James wasn’t too thrilled about someone laying their hands on her boy. She was gonna give them a piece of her mind. That is until James chimed in and told his mom to “sit down.”

Here’s what he said: “I told her to sit down, in some language that I shouldn’t have used. Thank God today wasn’t Mother’s Day. All I could think about is her. I know my mother, we’re good.” 

I sure hope so. I’d be a bit intimidated by her.

I wonder what Kim Kardashian got her mother for Mother’s Day yesterday. Especially after her mother found a personal calendar of Kim that she had made for her boyfriend, Reggie Bush, and decided to sell it.

I didn’t catch it, but all the juicy details were revealed on the most recent episode of their reality TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Apparently the curvy Kim put together this sexy calendar for Bush and only Bush, and when her mother found out about it, she sold the calendar and then it had miraculously appeared on a stand somewhere. Bush and Kim weren’t very happy, leading Kim to buy back all the calendars herself.

If you’re curious to see more photos from the calendar, C0-ED Magazine has a few of the photos from the calendar here.

By now, you all should have seen the movie Anchorman. And if you haven’t, if you go do so now, no one will get hurt.

But if you’re all familiar with the scene where someone plays with the teleprompter telling Ron to tell San Diego, to well, go do “something” to themselves, all hades breaks loose in the newsroom.

Well, Ernie Johnson of TNT sports did a similar thing to Hall Famer Charles Barkley on their TNT show. During a promo for T-Mobile, he got Charles to fall for the “I’m gonna write something on the teleprompter and make you read it” joke. Sucker. Check out the funny clip.

“You stay classy San Diego.”

We’ve seen some great Sportscenter highlights throughout our time that showcase buzzer beaters, but this one is truly in a class of its own. Everything seemed to fall into place perfectly for number 21. Whoever didn’t box that guy out should be benched for the rest of the season!  That’s right tall dude in yellow, I’m talking to you! Way to just stand there and be a spectator. “Team player.”

Marvin Harrison has been getting questioned recently for a shooting that occurred just outside his car wash and garage in Philadelphia. I didn’t really say much about this because for one: it was all over the news anyways. And two: the police said the questioning was just routine since it was his car wash and he wasn’t a suspect. They were interviewing a lot of people. And seeing how it’s Marvin Harrison, I didn’t think that he could be involved in such a ridiculous crime.

Well, it looks like the scenario may have changed slightly.

The police are now saying that six of the bullet casings found at the scene of the April 29th shooting belong to Harrison. The bullets were apparently fired from a gun owned by Harrison.

Harrison’s representative have said that he was not present during the shooting and that his gun was not involved, while his attorney has chosen not to release a comment.

I really hope that Harrison played no part in this shooting. For a player of his caliber and the way he has held himself on and off the field up until this incident has always been positive. I expect something like this from Pacman Jones. But Harrison? Never in a million years.
