Not only did Jim Harbaugh’s squad give everything they had in a 51-42 upset of Oregon, but the Stanford Band’s buxom, fake lady drum major gave his full measure of devotion as well. Was Hooters missing a waitress on Saturday afternoon, or was Heaven missing a rather hairy angel? Read more…
Okay, this piece is technically not about sports, but name one food more ubiquitous to sports fans than hot wings. It’s not that people eat only hot wings during games, but hot wings only get eaten during games. They’re not exactly showing up at bistros or baby showers, you know.
(I wrote hot wings and breasts and this picture just automatically came up. Hope it’s okay.)
It’s getting to the point that the skinless, boneless chicken breasts, long-revered (and rightly so) as the best part of the chicken, are taking a backseat to the wing. Those cheap wing nights at your favorite bar? Oh, they’re long gone. And if you’re not careful, you’ll have to eat the “boneless” wing instead. Quelle horreur.
• In the most horrible of MLB hazings, the Padres’ rookies get dressed up as Hooters Girls. Isn’t playing for San Diego embarrassing enough already?
*Editor’s note: We’re sorry for sharing such a terrifying image. Please enjoy the following photo as a token of our sincerest apologies:
(SbB Girls Vanessa, Hillary and Kim make it all better)
• Ron Artest says Josh Howard’s stunning comments about the Star-Spangled Banner are an indictment of America’s education system.
• What do you do when your team sucks & no one’s coming out to the games? If you’re the Washington Nationals, you cut payroll by $20 million.
• Staying in the District, Agent Zero will be out of action until December, as Gilbert Arenas needs knee surgery again.
• No Tiger at the Ryder? No problem, as long as Boo Weekley is around to cause chuckles around the course.
It’s been a long season for the San Diego Padres, and with only 9 games left on the schedule, I’m sure the players are pretty happy they’ll soon be able to put 2008 behind them. Though, considering the amount of rookie call-ups the Padres have made in September, there are probably quite a few guys on the team that wish the season could go on a few weeks longer, because it might be the last time they ever see the big leagues.
(This is why Hooters never succeeded in San Francisco)
Well, thankfully there are always veterans around to make those rookies wish they never left Triple-A.
Yes, those are Padres rookies dressed as Hooters Girls. Don’t they look amazing?
Mothers, lock up your stripper-daughters. Adam “Honestly, Stop Calling Me Pacman” Jones is back on the loose!
ESPN reports that NFL commissioner Roger Goodell has told the Cowboys that Mr. Jones will be eligible to make it rain with punishing tackles during the regular season-opener against the Browns on September 7th. This gives Cleveland police a mere 10 days to prepare themselves for the onslaught of terror and violence that comes with any Pacman Adam Jones field trip.
To give the police a sense of what to expect, let’s take a trip down memory lane and examine Pacman’s Adam’s lengthy rap sheet:
• What’choo talkin’ about? HOME RUN DERBY strokes us news that a minor league team is willing to offer Gary Coleman a contract.
• The MINNEAPOLIS STAR-TRIBUNE rolls along happy news that police have recovered a sick kid’s wheelchair that was stolen during a Twins game.
• YOU BEEN BLINDED takes a trip with Cincinnati Bengal Kenny Irons to the local Hooters.
• MACHOCHIP speaks with Juan Carlos Lozano & Raul Saenz, the duo behind the Brewers’ Spanish-language radio broadcasts.
Just because their corporate logo is on Belmont’s biggest star, that doesn’t mean the Hooters Girls will be welcome in the winner’s circle.
The NEW YORK DAILY NEWS gallops along word that the tight tank tops & short orange shorts fashioned by the restaurant’s waitresses would not be considered “proper attire” for Belmont Park. The reaction comes from Hooters’ earlier claim that the Girls will be there in full uniform ready to celebrate if Big Brown clinches the Triple Crown.
But the buxom babes aren’t banned outright - they just need to change their clothes. [And we’ll be happy to assist ;)] Read more…
CELEBRIDIOT has a pic from tennis player Alona Bondarenko’s new ad campaign for K-Swiss:
Like you, we’ve never heard of her, and we wonder why K-Swiss would sign her to an endorsement deal. Makes almost as much sense as paying Anna Kournikova hundreds of thousands of dollars to endorse anything now. She, by the way, was K-Swiss’ last corporate spokesmodel.
It is interesting to note the similar looks of Kournikova and Bondarenko. The latter we’re guessing came a lot cheaper. It also gives us a good idea of who may be behind these ad campaigns. Read more…
Sure, the NCAA will gladly grab money from any corporate entity willing to fork over the dough. Even ads for Hooters (starring college b-ball’s favorite son Dick Vitale) have made a good run during March Madness coverage.
But when it comes to the buxom restaurant chain & the NCAA, what’s good for the tube apparently isn’t fit for print.
PR NEWS WIRE reports that on Thursday the NCAA decided to remove a full-page Hooters ad from the official Final Four program. What was the shocking image that cause such consternation that it had to be cut?
Click on the jump, if you dare.
First, it’s Josh Beckett showing up a bit bulbous for the BoSox. Then, it’s Dmitri Young appearing with a wide waist for Washington. And now the Phillies have their own fat friend to welcome to spring training: John Daly.
BUGS & CRANKS finds the golfer having the guts (and then some) to appear at Phils’ practice in Clearwater, Fla., on Sunday. (He probably looking for a recommendation on a good cheesesteak).
Daly had been competing in a nearby tournament. Or more specifically, he was hanging out at the Hooters tent drinking beer and autographing asses.
