Dhani Jones to Play Rugby Union

repetea — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 21:10:21 +0000

According to the rugby news site scrum.com, Dhani Jones will be on loan to the Blackheath Rugby Club to play in a game against the Cornish All-Blacks. After taking a “crash course” of the sport he’s actually expected to get playing time. Of course, being a linebacker, he may have to work on his ball handling skills.

Blackheath HC Harvey Biljon is excited about his new player:

â€œOur players thought it would be fantastic to have a full-time athlete from a top American sport testing himself among our amateurs,â€ Biljon said.

â€œBecause Dhani [pronounced Dee-hah-nee] is a defensive lineman, his catching and passing are the things we need to work on.

â€œAll being well, he will come on the field as a flanker. I donâ€™t think it will make much difference whether itâ€™s blindside or openside.

â€œWe just have to make sure that when he hits someone it is an opponent who has got the ball and that heâ€™s not running an illegal blocking move.â€

I think other pro sports leagues should swap players to promote their games. Not only would I watch this rugby match, I would love to see Steve Nash play soccer, Yao Ming play football, or Tank Johnson swim a 100m butterfly.

I wear my bowties to high tea.

Apparently Hitler Isn’t Pleased With the Cowboys

SportsRumblings — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 22:45:57 +0000

Many Cowboys fans were displeased with the timing of Romo’s Mexican vacation just before their playoff game. Despite their 13-3 record, I can’t say I was surprised at the outcome. Not only did they fizzle in December, but let’s be honest–Cowboys havent won a playoff game since Biggie was alive.

This is the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. And it’s safe for work.

American Gladiators Did Porn

SportsRumblings — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 06:33:30 +0000

Who doesn’t love to see a reality show contestant naked? Thanks to American Gladiators, porn aficionados may recognize one of this season’s contestants–real name Belinda Gavin–from a few recent skin flicks. It turns out Gavin did porn under the names “Kylie Biscayne” and “Kylie Wyote“. If you want to see her naked, just do a Google image search for any of her names.

My best work is shows at 3am on Cinemax.

Take a look at some of the titles in her acting resume:

2. Bikini Round-Up (2005) (V) …. Calamity Kate

But wait, there’s more. Gavin isn’t the only AG athlete to do porn. One of the gladiators, Alex Castro aka Militia, did gay porn. And there is plenty of online eye candy (NSFW) for you guys too.

Militia is looking for a few good men.

Larry Csonka Flips Us off on the Cover of Sports Illustrated

SportsRumblings — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 22:40:17 +0000

So I was just watching Around the Horn and learned a piece of sports trivia. Dolphins Hall of Famer Larry Csonka was on the cover of Sports Illustrated in August 1972, and apparently its one of the sneakiest middle finger flashings of all time. Judge for yourself:

F you, F you, F you, you’re cool, F you…

That’s Csonka on the left. Note his right hand.

Trinity University (TX) beats Millsaps with 15 laterals

SportsRumblings — Sun, 28 Oct 2007 18:25:49 +0000

So I went to this football game and a rugby match broke out….Trinity University (the one in Texas), was down 24-22 with one play to go against Millsaps College. They were 61 yards away from the end zone, so field goals are out of the question. 60 seconds and 15 laterals later they supplant Stanford-Cal as the most amazing college football ending ever:

And who doesn’t love a great lateral ending. This instantly has to make the short list of improbable football endings with The Play, and The Music City Miracle.

Stanford at Cal - “The Play” - November 20, 1982

Buffalo at Tennessee - “The Music City Miracle” - January 8, 2000

Oakland at Pittsburgh - The Immaculate Reception - December 23, 1972 - not really a lateral but a cool ending nonetheless

Thankfully this happened a good 10 years before The Play so we don’t have to hear the commentators say “The only thing missing is the band”. Because, that’s so original.

Joe Frazier Proves Black People Can’t Swim

SportsRumblings — Fri, 19 Oct 2007 16:19:46 +0000

I remember the night they showed this clip on The Daily Show last year, because I damn near fell out of my chair laughing. I’ve been searching youtube ever since for a full clip of Joe Frazier trying to swim. In the early 70s he was on a show called The Superstars. Think of it as an early version of Pros vs. Joes. One of the events that the contestants had to do was a 50m freestyle, where Frazier nearly drowned and admitted afterwards that he’d never swam before in his life.

Now that The Daily Show has put all their clips online, I can at least show some of Frazier’s swim here. Incidentally this was also Larry Wilmore’s debut on The Daily Show, where he talked about how lame racism has become.

some NSFW language

By the way I’m still looking for a full video of The Superstars. If you find it please send it so I can post!
