Fun with the Tiger Woods Commercial

By now we've all seen the new Tiger Woods Nike ad.



Our friends and deadspin.com scoured the internet to find the best parodies of the commercial. I wish we could post all of the videos here, but the bosses would freak out! So instead here is a link.

Salt's favorite is parody number 3. I am a fan of number 6.

The Best Play You Probably Didn't See



While a lot of you were at work, White Sox ace Mark Buehrle did something amazing!

The Final Standings

Here are the final stadings of our "Friends of the Show" bracket pool.

CHAMPION: DEMETRI THE GREEK - 67 POINTS
2. TAYLOR ZARZOUR - 58 POINTS
3. SALT - 56 POINTS
3. BARACK OBAMA - 56 POINTS
5. MR. SKIN - 52 POINTS
6. BT - 51 POINTS
7. ROBIN FOX - 50 POINTS
8. BOMANI JONES - 46 POINTS
9. AUSTIN HILL - 30 POINTS

For the record, nobody picked Duke to win it all and only Taylor even picked them to be in the final game. It doesn't matter. I was so far ahead after the Elite 8 that this thing was decided last week. And what did I win? Pride, my friends. Pride.

Duke Wins!

...and this Butler cheerleader went wild!

Why? We don't know, but it is nice to know that there was at least one person in Indianapolis that was routing for Duke.

Bomani Jones Doesn't Put Up With Canadian Tomfoolery

As many of you know, our buddy Bomani Jones co-hosted the studio show for the NCAA Tournament on the Canadian television network The Score.

Check out this clip.

Bomani was right to refuse to dance. Is that what passes for basketball coverage in Canada? No wonder we make fun of them.

No One Likes Being Dunked Upon...

And even fewer people like getting kicked in the balls.

Remember Tony Skinn? Probably not. He was part of that George Mason team that shocked the world by beating Carolina and UConn (among others) to make it to the Final Four in 2006.

Well now Tony is playing ball in Europe. Here is a video of a big time dunk he threw down earlier this season.



There's a lot going on here. First, notice that he kicks the defender square in the sack. Then, to add insult to injury he hangs on the rim and roars like Godzilla. In a brief moment of karmic justice/hilarity you will notice that Tony does fall trying to stick the dismount. Does that stop him? No! He's right back up and smack talking as he runs down the court a split second later.

Tony, you are a douche bag, but at least you are a douche bag with some style. As for the nameless power forward that may never have kids, that is some tough luck. Not only did your nuts get cracked, but you will forever be known as that European dunk victim.
