Seriously, what is wrong with him? Something's wrong with him, right? Is it a disease? IS THERE A DOCTOR IN THE BLOG?! Also, what's up with this:
Yikes. Ron Artest, what is going on with you? Do you need to talk to someone? (Thanks for the tip, Gabe and Daniel.)

Area Man Spends Weekend Programming DVR • Comedy Central has ordered a pilot from The Onion. It's about sports, which some of us (could be anyone, really) don't care about, but, you know, The Onion. Sometimes you have to take a little bit of the boo with the yay!
First of all, let's clear a few things up:
1. There is no new adrenaline sport on the horizon.
2. It was Stadius who said "it was fear that first made Gods in the world," your boyfriend thought right! Although Stadius was talking about Ultimate Frisbee.
3. This guy is your boyfriend
Also, if I ever see a kid doing tricks on a razor scooter, I will murder him, and then I will turn myself in. My years in prison will be made more endurable with the knowledge that I have at least done my part in CLEANING UP THE STREETS.

I guess the original video footage of Baseball Hall-of-Famer George Brett chatting it up with the boys about how much he shits his pants is old. It's weird that in my insatiable hunger for all things sports, I somehow missed the original. Very, very weird. I love sports and I love things having to do with sports. Anyone who knows me will tell you, "Oh, Gabe? Total sportshead. He particularly loves when athletes win points." But even if you have already seen the original video, then this autotune remix offers you something new. And if you haven't seen the original video, OH MY GOODNESS, YOU ARE ABOUT TO WATCH A REALLY SPECIAL VIDEO.

Well, this sounds boring. From the AP:
Comic Ray Romano is going to the golf doctor.The Golf Channel says the "Everybody Loves Raymond" star will be the focus of its new reality series, "The Haney Project." The series follows Tiger Woods' swing coach Hank Haney as he tries to improve the game of a celebrity.
To be fair, I have no idea how the Golf Channel manages to fill its programming schedule, and everyone who works there is an American Hero, I'm sure. But come on! A show about Ray Romano, a golf enthusiast, getting slightly better at golf? That is like watching paint get a little better at drying.
Perhaps, though, because we are industrious and imaginative, we can think of an even more boring show than this show.

So the other night at a baseball game, one of the groundskeepers, a young lady by the name of Robin Habisch, slipped and fell while helping the other (male) groundskeepers maniacally pull the rain tarp over the field. This resulted in humorous video (knowing she was okay) of poor Robin being dragged across the field before she realized she should let go and just walk out after the tarp was settled, which she eventually did, to crowd applause. Because the incident aired on TV, an ESPN FSN reporter cornered Robin and asked her questions about the her fall. People being interviewed on TV are usually either crazy or famous, so Robin's totally normal, slightly bewildered reaction ("I feel like an idiot, but I'm fine!) is rare and really likable.

Apparently, this little boy has been taking off his shirt and pounding his Bruins-painted chest for the camera at Bruins games at least since last October, but his greatest performance came this week:
According to the incredibly accurate primary source that is YouTube comments, his name is Mikey and he does this at every Bruins game. Let's make him internet famous! (Thanks for the tip, Alex!)

The martial arts is a lifelong discipline. To become proficient in them requires determination, physical fitness, but most of all time. It can take years of study before a student understands the fundamentals of their chosen style, and even after decades there is still more to learn. WELL SOME OF US DO NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF TIME. For those of us who are ON THE GO, I think we could all learn something from Pasha, who tipster Ross says is "the Star Wars kid of Russia." Oh really, Ross? Well I guess that makes sense because the Star Wars Kid is THE BEST KID.
What Pasha teaches us is that if you have nothing but a basic grasp of the fundamental idea of what karate KIND OF LOOKS LIKE, you just put on your denim jacket and your thick-soled sneakers, head out into the woods with your video camera, and within seven minutes you will chop all the minds in half.
