Want to see a grown man cry? Take a close look at the picture above. Those are tears welling up in that man’s eyes.

That there is the son of Kimbo Slice. Between the facial hair and the rainbow colored necklace, I’m going to put the range of age for him to be between 17 and 30, which means, he’s old enough to not cry like a little girl.

If you remember from this weekend, Kimbo was knocked out by Seth Petruzelli with a punch that couldn’t knock down a stack of cards. It was pretty embarrassing seeing how Petruzelli was merely a last minute fill-in. But with one slap and 15 seconds later, Kimbo was done.

Apparently Junior took the loss hard from this photo. Either he’s genuinely sad his father was beat by a man with pink hair, or he’s crying, watching his money train lay there on the mat.

Lets hope JR is holding up OK. I’m guessing the woman next to him is his mother. I wonder what’s going through her mind at this point. Maybe the banshee scream coming from JR is hurting her ears.

OK, I’ll stop raggin’ on the guy. I guess I’d cry too if my father got beat up by Tinkerbell.

In this little guy’s case, he happened to be on the receiving end of a football to the face.

I haven’t posted a video in a while, so you can thank me later for the Wednesday Morning Chuckle I’ll send your way.

It’s up, it’s GOOD!

I already hated Eli Manning, and now that hatred has just grown.

Since I’m an Eagles fan and he’s the quarterback of the New York Giants, the hate was bred into me, but now that I found out he has the ultimate, lazy man’s house, I want to  smack that dumb smirk off his face.

Manning’s renovated, 3,000 square foot New Jersey condo is fully automated electronically. I think you can even push a button from the living room to flush the toilet in case you forgot. Hey, it happens.

Some features of the home include having full control of the motorized shades, the lighting schemes, the multi-room audio, and a stealth motorized pillar that unveils the top-shelf bar selections.

I wonder if it also comes with the Man’s Kitchen designed by Tim “the Tool Man” Taylor.

• Globe Apologizes for Photo of Kevin O’Connell’s “Secret”
• Former Bronco Travis Henry Busted in Cocaine Deal
  

Travis Henry is an idiot.

Why?

Because the idiot just got busted by the DEA for buying a whole butt-load of cocaine with intent to distribute.

For someone who signed a five year contract worth $22.5 million in 2007, only an idiot would now want to be a drug dealer. I think Henry and Ricky Williams went to the same charm school. They’d both rather do drugs then remain millionaires.

Although he was released by the Denver Broncos earlier this year, the man could have signed with another team had he’d been able to stay clean of drugs. Plus, I’m sure he has some cash left over from a year ago before he was released, so why turn to drugs.

Such a waste of talent.

Maybe he picked up this “side-job” in hopes to  help support the rumored nine children he has with nine different women.

Something tells me he won’t be back in the NFL or on his way to a Daddy of the Year award anytime soon.

So the Boston Globe apologized today for a photo they took of a certain New England Patriots player.

No, they didn’t apologize because the player happened to be of a nobody, more specifically, back up quarterback Kevin O’Connell. The apology was for a certain “message” that was accidentally photographed

Sure at a quick glance, the picture looks harmless. But for those who pay attention to detail, will notice a message on O’Connell’s wristband. Why he would want to project that to the world, I don’t know.

This just in: RICKY WILLIAMS SAYS NO TO DRUGS!

After a few suspensions and millions of dollars later, it appears that Ricky Williams has finally learned his lesson. With the Miami Dolphins’ having the week off due to their bye week, one must think, this could be a troubling time for Ricky. A week is a long time to sit alone in a big house, with nothing to do but watch Saved by the Bell reruns and the Cartoon Network. The temptation must be getting to him.

”Most definitely,” Williams said. ‘It’s greater because, like, Thursday, coach told us we had Friday off, so automatically your mind, which is so constrained since training camp began — every day is a grind, it’s a grind, it’s a grind — and then Coach says `you’re free.’ And the mind says, `I’m free, what can I do?’

“So there was definitely an urge. But I just thought about what I have to lose and it was easy. The urge didn’t last very long.”

Maybe Williams has finally realized that this habit isn’t worth losing a million dollars.

Oh, who am I kidding, he was probably high when he said he quit smoking.
