• AndWhammy! informs us that giving Kevin Love the finger proved to be an unwise decision for an Oregon student. While reading a Sports Illustrated article about abusive college basketball fans, a father spotted a picture of his son flipping the bird to Love during an Oregon-UCLA game — the dad responded by taking away his son’s car, and sending the kid back to the university on a bus. Ouch. I’ll admit that I feel a little sorry for the kid, but that father deserves tremendous props for dishing out some major punishment for his son’s moronic behavior.
• Bugs & Cranks kicks off the baseball season with 162 things you might need to know for the 2008 MLB season. Couldn’t agree more with their final item on the list: “Baseball season is too freaking long.” For the next two or three weeks, I’ll be pumped about the baseball season; I’ll then proceed to ignore MLB until mid-September, when I’ll become heavily interested once again.
• Since it’s been at least three or four days since a picture of Tim Tebow with a random hottie has been posted to the internet, SPORTSbyBROOKS delivers a photo of Tebow posing with a waitress at the Hooters in Gainesvile, Florida. Wait, you mean he doesn’t go there for the wings?
• on205th brings us 19 ways for soccer to increase its popularity in the United States (careful of that link…there’s some nudity in the article). Most of the ideas center around female nudity — but scoff as you might, don’t forget that the idea of putting bikini-clad spectators in hot tubs around the stadium to increase attendance worked to perfection for the Colorado Mammoth lacrosse team.
• Finally, the Boston Globe reports that Beantown bars opened at roughly 5:00 a.m. today so Red Sox fans can enjoy a few brewskies while watching their squad play in Japan. As a result, productivity in Boston should virtually halt today…give BoSox fans a few valuable extra hours to drink, and the city should pretty much shut down for the majority of the day.
