Gravity is Overrated

The car scene alone shows how magical this "human" is. He completely defies gravity. This whole video is pretty much a routine Friday for this athlete. What to call him is still debatable... monkey, alien, fairy?

Chargers fan Crying

It's quite tough to be a San Diego Chargers fan, and not just because the team missed the playoffs last year despite finishing fifth in offense and defense. The hardest part is knowing that fellow fans cry like this after losing to the Raiders. How precious.

Chris Johnson Strikes Gold

The predator...sorry Chris Johnson, or CJ2K as he is known in some circles, received his demanded contract extension yesterday from the Tennessee Titans. Johnson had refused to report to camp until he got the deal he wanted, resulting in a 34 day holdout.

He returns for the final preseason game to the tune of $53 million over 4 years, with $30 million fully guaranteed.

The major sticking point in this scenario was Johnson's demand of $30 million in guaranteed money. It is understandable to want that amount...after all, food on the table and extra sets of gold teeth can get preeeettyyy expensive.

In all seriousness, Johnson was certainly owed a raise, as he was set to make $1.05 million in 2011, after moving into third place all time for total rushing yards over the first three years of a career, and setting the NFL's Yards From Scrimmage record in 2009. The problem was that CJ2K wanted to be the highest paid player in the NFL, which was never going to happen.

$53 million over four years is more than any running back has ever made, though acceptable for a top flight back with Johnson's accomplishments. Despite his less than classy way of doing business, tailbacks DO only have an average shelf life of 3-5 years.

The deal has earned the ire of many fans, many of whom have posted racist comments towards Johnson on Twitter and message boards, though Johnson has responded with equally biting comments from his verified Twitter account.

The only question now is whether Johnson will rest on his laurels with his cash in hand, vindicating his detractors, or if he will continue his pace to be one of the most prolific running backs in the history of the NFL.

Only time will tell.

Ryan Braun Takes a Tumble, Fails Mightily

In front of an exuberant crowd at Miller Park, the stealthy Ryan Braun took a tumble for the ages. After a powerful rake to left centerfield, the All-Star third baseman was thinking inside-the-park homerun. It would not be so, as Braun tripped two times on his way to getting caught in a rundown. In the stands was Reggie Miller, who couldn't help but shake his head and clap. We still love you Ryan Braun.

My Furbabies

Thanks for the guest post by Jo Levy

We have two wonderful dogs in our home. I call them my fur babies and whenever someone asks me how many kids I have, I always says four. I have two that have two legs and two that have four legs. My dogs are very protective of our home and us. If someone comes to the door they do not recognize, they will let us know it in a heartbeat. I consider them our first line of defense because they love to bark and they will wake up the entire neighborhood. They are more than defense though. They also keep my feet warm in the winter and they are great babysitters. They make sure that the 3 year old does not wander out of the house and they make great fashion models for the 5 year old. I was sitting at home one night and I decided to go online to www.ALLHOMEsecurity.com to see if they were some tips on there to incorporate my dogs into the our entire home security. There were some great tips we are going to use for the fur babies.

Georgetown, China Wild Brawl

When the Georgetown basketball team traveled to China, they probably didn't expect to be stomped out by a plethora of hungry Chinamen. Watch the casual man on the sideline, wearing khaki shorts, quickly run out and immediately begin tossing kicks. Assistant or hired bodyguard? We'll never know.

Unique NFL Pregame Ritual

The former defensive tackle for the Jacksonville Jaguars, now with the Raiders, has quite the pregame ritual. At 6'7" and 335 pounds, it's remarkable how he gets anyone to slap him, particularly the diminutive 5'10" assistants who seem to be up for the job. Most would pay to see him fight a silverback gorilla.
