Snoop Dogg is living it up on the WildSplash stage at Coachman Park in downtown Clearwater, Florida, just across from the marina where Florida’s elites gather on their yachts. Juicy, nubile girls gone wild are everywhere around you, as the spring break crowd whips itself into an orgiastic frenzy. Sex is in the spring break air as the delicious smell of teen spirit floats on the sea breeze over to Clearwater Beach, where white sugary sand awaits. This is your spring break girls gone wild sex, beaches, Disney, baseball, & nightclubs vacation, 2011. Here’s how to get it on right now…
What songs make the fans go wild? Whether it’s the old favorite played when the home team takes the field or the special song of triumph when that great play occurs, these are the tunes we know by heart even if we don’t get all the words!
2010 was an incredible year in sports, especially if you are a basketball, hockey, or MMA fan. But other sports had plenty of drama as well, both good and bad. Phil Mickelson, Serena Williams, Mike Krzyzewski, Sidney Crosby, Manny Pacquiao, Georges St. Pierre, LeBron James and Roy Halladay were all in the headlines for the right reasons. Meanwhile some characters, like Tiger Woods and Reggie Bush were in the headlines for the wrong reasons. All in all, it made for an exciting year in the NFL, PGA, NBA, NCAA, UFC and just about any other league you can name. So without further delay, here’s my list of the best moments of the sports of 2010:
Buster Posey and Neftali Feliz have been named the American League and National League Rookies of the Year, respectively. The MLB standouts both had deep runs into the playoffs, Feliz as a closer for the Texas Rangers and Posey as catcher for the eventual World Series champion San Francisco Giants.
Through seven innings it was anyone’s game, but the bounces just didn’t seem to go the Texas Rangers’ way. What started as a tight game turned into a blowout in the final two innings with the San Francisco Giants lighting up the Rangers’ bullpen. Matt Cain gets the win and the shutout, while CJ Wilson, despite giving up just one run, goes down as the starting pitcher in a 9-0 drubbing in Game 2 of the MLB World Series of baseball.
If ever there was a sign of how the game would play out, it was in the fifth inning when Ian Kinsler blasted a long ball off Cain that looked like a homerun for sure. But miraculously, the ball bounced off the top of the wall and, somehow, back into play. The Giants managed to get to the bottom of the fifth with the score still tied 0-0.
The Rangers got out to a good start, taking a 2-0 lead. The Giants managed to tie things up, and then tore the whole match wide open in the fifth with six runs. At the end of the night, the final score was 11-7, giving San Francisco celebrities like Barry Bonds and Joe Montana plenty to cheer about. But on Wednesday night, Freddy Sanchez was the star.
Roy “Doc” Halladay is one of those athletes you can’t help but watch. Just knowing he’s going to take the mound is compelling. And lately, those watching have been treated to record breaking feats, including the second no-hitter in a playoff game in MLB history. The Philadelphia Phillies and their fans have a true gem of a baseball player on their hands, and if another World Series championship is in the offing, you can be sure Halladay will be a major reason why.
When Lance Berkman landed in New York to join the Yankees after over a decade with the Houston Astros, fans in the Big Apple could be sure of at least one thing – the Big Puma would be cracking balls, dinging homers, and menacing outfields across the MLB.
Tim Lincecum is just what the San Francisco Giants needed in the wake of the Barry Bonds era – someone likeable to lead the team. In contrast to the bald, muscle-bound and surly Bonds, Lincecum is a shaggy-haired, tall and lanky, small-town kid, who comes off genuine and humble. The two-time Cy Young-winner made his post-season debut by pitching a shut out against the Atlanta Braves this month. That’s more good news for Bay Area baseball fans.
The 2010 MLB post-season has been a story of dominant pitchers. There have been some great hitters doing their thing, but by and large, the men on the mound have dominated the spotlight. The Texas Rangers are no exception. The starting pitching duo of Cliff Lee and CJ Wilson came up with whopping performances to give the Rangers an early lead in their American League Division Series against the Tampa Bay Rays.
Everywhere you look on the internet these days, people are getting excited for the second season of HBO’s dark and politically incorrect comedy Eastbound and Down. The series stars Danny McBride as down and out major league pitcher Kenny Powers, and is produced by comedy superstar Will Ferrell. Even the celebrity world is atwitter about the return of the series, with everyone from Kanye West to Marilyn Manson expressing their appreciation for the show.
It’s common to hear sports commentators calling it a shame when a brawl breaks out on the court or field during play. But around the water cooler, the guys talk excitedly about the previous night’s melee. We all appreciate sportsmanship and skill, but we crave passion, tension, and rivalry as well. Sometimes that spills over into tragedy, and other times it amounts to little more than overgrown boys blowing off some steam.
Of course, hockey is most famous for its brawls, some of them have reached absolutely epic proportions. But baseball has had its fair share, and even basketball and football are not immune. And how about a brawl in a one-on-one sport? We have one on the Rosebud list.
Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of sports’ most memorable dust ups. Buckle up. It's a wild ride.
There have been many excellent examples of sports video games dating all the way back to the beginning of gaming. Of course, there have been some stinkers, too. But with technology developing the way it has, sports games have been advancing to the point that you almost feel like you’re out there in the action.
Here’s a look at some of the best of the best to ever come down the pipe.
