Are you looking for a new car, but don’t want to follow the trend of buying one of these environmentally friendly hybrids, or fuel-efficient cars that those damn hippies are trying to stuff down your throat?   Do you want an old-fashioned muscle car that will blow the doors off of anybody you pass on the freeway?   Do you have around $200,000 to spend?  Well then I’ve got the car for you!

Former Tampa Bay Buccaneers running back/fullback/fantasy football vulture Mike Alstott is selling his 1969 Camaro on eBay, and the current price is set at $195,500.   Of course, buying a car based solely on a picture, particularly at that price, probably isn’t the smartest move to make.  Lucky for you, I was kind enough to post a few more after the jump.

Yes, this is real. (It comes with a letter of authenticity!) THREE IDIOTS ON SPORTS found a pair of pants once worn by former All-Star closer Bob Wickman on the eBays, which you can get today for the low, low starting bid of $29.99.

(Not actual size. Like most AAA maps, 1 inch = 1 mile.)

The pantaloons were donned when Wicky was a Yankee closer back in 1993, so perhaps the pants are slightly smaller versus his beer-belly days with Milwaukee, Cleveland, and Atlanta. Slightly. Read more…

The hype machine is in full throttle for the Lakers & the Celtics, as the long-time rivals renew acquaintances in the NBA Finals. So, why not hype yourself up even more by acquiring a real Lakers championship ring?

DEADSPIN lets us in on the sale of the century, as eBay bounces along some basketball bling-bling up for bids. Read more…

BOB GRIESE’S FOSSILIZED JOCK STRAP - BUY IT NOW!!! The MIAMI HERALD has more details of the demise of Miami’s Orange Bowl - which SbB previously reported on.

It turns out that Miami officials want to knock down the dump hallowed sanctum of South Florida sports and entertainment as fast as possible in order to clear the site for a possible Marlins ballpark (though funding goals have yet to be reached).There will be a few more games held there before the demolition commences, as the Hurricanes play their final game there tomorrow and Florida International, losers of 22 straight, will follow with two more games (what’s the point guys, really?).

Apparently great care will go into to dismantling the glorified erector set of a ballpark, which opened in 1937. City officials want to preserve parts of the facility and auction them off on Ebay.

Even in the heyday of the Canes’ and Dolphins’ domination, Miami was notorious for not selling out the facility. So now they think they can get people to buy seats that they weren’t willing to sit in when The U. was winning national titles and the Fins went undefeated?

WE’RE STILL HOLDING OUT FOR JACKIE SLATER’S SHOE TREE: An emailer tips off SPORTS REVIEW magazine that Eric Dickerson had an “estate sale” last weekend - and some of the items from the sale have since landed on Ebay:

We’re really excited about the news, as ED’s duffle bag will make our weekend jaunts to Laughlin via the Greyhound in the sky that much more enjoyable.

MARATHON RUNNERS SCALPING SPOTS FOR FUN & PROFIT: Some runners for an upcoming race are hoping to cash in on their selective spots:

The HOUSTON CHRONICLE jogs in with news that signees for the Houston Marathon have been auctioning off their registrations to the highest bidders.The January race had 17,000 spaces available for official entry, but the spots sold out quickly by September. Now desperate long-distancers have been willing to pay up to $500 for a chance to hoof it in Houston.

Sole-less scalpers have been going to sites like eBay and Craigslist to offer up their numbered bibs, hoping to snag a hefty sum in return.Houston has become a popular destination for the running set. Race organizers say the Marathon has already helped sell out nine hotels in preparation for the event.

But we wonder why a city with a well-known air pollution problem would be such a hit with heavy breathers. Maybe the racers get high on the fumes.Then again, this is the same crowd that’s willing to pay over $200 for the chance to run 26 miles straight.

PERFECT GIFT TO GO W/THOSE BROWNS SUPER BOWL TIX: Just because the Indians didn’t make it, that doesn’t mean you can’t buy tickets to the World Series in Cleveland:

Even though Game 1 is in the books, and was held in a completely different city, eBAY is still entertaining offers to purchase seats at Jacobs Field for the Fall Classic.At last count, there were 5 auctions still running for tickets to nonexistent games, with prices ranging from $819 to almost $2,000.

It might be a nice memento for Indians fans to have of what could have been. Or a great purchase for Red Sox fans to send to their Tribe-supporting friends, just to rub it in.

GOLDEN AGE OF WOMEN’S SPORTS IS OFFICIALLY UPON US: Here’s a quick, recent sampling of just how far women’s sports have come in recent times:

The SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE reports last weekend that as keynote speaker for a youth tennis benefit in San Diego at the city’s Grand Hyatt hotel, tennis legend and women’s rights activist Billie Jean King stayed at a local Comfort Inn.King’s reason: “I stay where the kids stay.”

Wot? Not surprisingly, the U-T didn’t press her further on the strange accommodation arrangement.

Meanwhile, there aren’t many just yet, but you can indeed score an autograph of Olympic Gold Medal-winner Amanda Beard as an open-ass sandwich on Ebay - from her PLAYBOY softcore porno photo shoot (link NSFW).You’ve come a long way, baby!

PARTY IN TOMMY BOWDEN’S PANTS - AND YOU’RE INVITED! A certain sports blog has been celebrating a Pants Party for some time, and now someone else is getting in on the act:

An Ebayer is auctioning off 300 pairs of Clemson Tiger football and baseball pants, which will spark the closest thing the Palmetto State has ever gotten to Mardi Gras.

I should know, as I’m a proud former resident of South Carolina and president of the Sparky Woods appreciation society:
