Countdown to SummerSlam: SummerSlam 89: Feel the Heat!
SummerSlam 89: Feel the Heat!
State of the Squared Circle: Since SS88 the Mega Powers broke up with Hulk Hogan pinning Randy Savage for the title at WrestleMania V and even stole away his manager Miss Elizabeth. Savage has moved on to feud with Brutus Beefcake, while Hogan is premiering his first starring role in "No Holds Barred." In what has to be one of the worst ideas in wrestling history (and that's saying something), Vince decides to have actor Tiny Lester come into the WWF as his movie character Zeus and tag with Savage against Hogan and Beefcake at the second SummerSlam. For the weeks leading up to the event, the WWF claims that while filming the movie Zeus (who they never refer to as Lester) became jealous and followed Hogan back to the WWF. Meanwhile, NWA Four Horsemen members have joined the WWF and future Nitro play-by-play man Tony Schiavone is on the mike for the PPV.
Don't Sleep on Scarlett Johansson
If I've said it once, I've said it a million times. No chick has perfected the "I'm the sexiest, sluttiest, best hookup in Hollywood look" quite like Scarlett Johansson. And these pictures from her appearence in the Pussycat Dolls just proves that point again.
OJ Gets Asked Interesting Questions During Interview
You can say whatever you want about OJ, but at least he’s a good sport about killing two people. That has to count for something right? Anyway, clearly the best question of this bunch is the one about whether OJ killed Bill Walsh. That guy can write for the Stool any day of the week.
Question of the Day; Hayden Panettiere vs. Kristin Cavelleri...Who You Got?
As everybody knows by now Hayden Panettiere is dating Steven from Laguna Beach. This is after he dated Kristin Cavelleri from Laguna Beach. Some people may be outraged by this, but I’m not. Listen, the kid knows his strengths and weakness and maximizes every ounce of talent in his body. That’s all you can ask for in a human being. He fucks the best looking chicks in Hollywood right before they become too good for his ass and I respect the 
hell out him for it. Plus he gave us arguably the greatest reality TV moment of all time when he screamed Slut at the top of his lungs for 10 straight minutes at Kristin when she was dancing at Spring Break (Free hat to whoever can find us a youtube of this moment) Anyway, with all the Hayden Panettierre hype going on right now this naturally leads in to our question of the day. Who would you rather bang? Kristin or Hayden? (Assuming Hayden was officially 18) As much as I love Panettiere I’m going with Kristin here. Bottom line is that you can’t argue with the wedgie in this video. Only thing that would have made it better was if it was a white bikini because I love chicks in white. Now it’s time for the Stoolies to vote. 1 for Kristin and 10 for Hayden. Let the games begin…
Biggest Winners and Losers of the Celtics Deal
In one of the great upsets of our generation, the Celtics managed to steal the headlines yesterday from the Red Sox on the final day of the mlb trading deadline despite the fact the Sox acquired Eric Gagne. And in 24 hours the NBA has gone from a joke in midst of a disastrous gambling controversy to a real sport again in this city. Now it’s time to evaluate the biggest winners and losers from the deal.
Winners
FSN – Imagine what NESN would be without the Sox. Well that’s been like FSN for the past million years. I think the Barstool Sports Radio Hour had better ratings than Celtics games the past decade. That should all change this year thanks to the arrival of the new Big 3.
Greg Dickerson - I don’t know if Greg Dickerson is married or has kids, but I do know that yesterday was the greatest day of his life. This guy has been the punching bag of the Boston media for as long as I can remember. He’s been stuck trying to make people care about the Celts on a channel that nobody was watching. Now he will be viewed as the pseudo ring leader of what is sure to be one of the hottest tickets in town.
Chad Scott Goes on IR Now, Avoids the Rush
FOXBOROUGH, Mass. - The New England Patriots placed veteran defensive back Chad Scott on the reserve/injured list today. Scott will miss the 2007 season with a knee injury.
Scott got hurt in the first day of Patriots training camp. Since for the last three years running, Pats defensive backs have the life span of mayflies, this might be the perfect time to start panicking. Why wait? If past is prologue, this is the time when the guys in the secondary start dropping like infantrymen in "Glory."
Here are the only occupations with a shorter life expectancy than a Patriot's defensive back:
- Spinal Tap drummer
- Strip joint patron who tells off Pacman Jones
- Bruins coach
- Anyone I catch snitchin'
- Anonymous "Star Trek" crewman
- Bruins goalie
- Mrs. Billy Bob Thornton
- Guy in war movie who shows another soldier a picture of his sweetheart back home
- Quirky, opinionated, take-charge type on "Survivor"
- Side character in crime caper movie who says "We made it! We made it!"
- Barstool hockey blogger
Bottom line is, this is a good day to be Asante Samuel. And Troy Brown, Joel Collier wants to see you.
RIP Bill Walsh
With everything that's been happening in Boston the last 48 hours the death of Bill Walsh got pushed to the back pages. But we'd be remiss not to pay tribute to one of the most revolutionary figures in the game over the past few decades. 
When you're trying to pay proper respect to Bill Walsh by describing the impact he had on the NFL, that he made it a better league and football a better sport to watch, it's hard to know where to begin.
Obviously he's got the West Coast offense not only on the first line of his obituary, it'll be on his tombstone and placed in his hands when they bury him like rosary beads.
And everyone who likes NFL football should thank him for it. Granted not many teams use the West Coast, but Walsh's DNA is in every offensive playbook in the NFL. Fans, even non-49er fans, embraced Walsh's schemes to get the ball out quick to the wideouts in open space and let them bust it long to the point that the league made it damned near outlawed pass coverage. The fact that Walsh went into coaching instead of becoming the Century 21 office manager he looked like, is probably responsible for 10 points added to every over/under line in pro football.
You can argue that Walsh is a great coach because he had the great players, but it's a chicken and egg thing. Take a great coach and give him an average QB, say and you've got the '05 Broncos. Give a great QB an average coach and you've got the '99 Colts. Give an innovator like Walsh a great QB like Joe Montana and you've got a dynasty. Jerry Rice would've been really good with any coach, but do you think he'd be the best overall player since Jim Brown if he played under Dave Wannstadt?
A good measure that you're a historic figure is when they've written your obituary while you're still breathing. And proof that Walsh was certifiable Big Deal is that after he died, ESPN said that among other things, he helped "establish the World League of American Football -- now NFL Europe..." Since it's been called "NFL Europa" for the last year, and got sh*tcanned last month, you know the Worldwide Leader was ready for Walsh's demise for quite some time.
Walsh himself wasn't as entertaining as most great coaches; he let his offenses speak for him. But as we saw on "America's Game" he had the knack for turning the press into the enemy of his team to motivate them by playing the "no respect" card, even why they were lining up to kiss his genius ass. Bill Belichick had this to add. "One of the greatest challenges of my career was coaching defense against Bill Walsh." A football coach can't get any more respect than that.
WORLD PREMIERE: Wild Thing vs The Natural
Let's face it, that computer fight from Rocky VI got a lot of people curious. What would happen if our favorite movie sports stars squared off against one another? Who would come out on top? Hollywood legends doing battle for the first time, for the last time. Well this is it. Uncle Buck has broken down the match up between Major League's own Wild Thing Rick Vaughn and The Natural's hero Roy Hobbs. Lets take a look at the players:
Rick Vaughn: RHP, Cleveland Indians. Has plus fastball in the high 90s and pin point control, after correcting a vision issue earlier in the season. The once troubled Tribe closer has become manager Lou Brown's go-to-guy at the end of games, even though he has had some success as a starter.
Roy Hobbs: OF, New York Knights. B/T: L/L. Streaky hitter who has massive power, including a towering shot against Chicago, in which he destroyed the scoreboard, and an incident earlier in the season where he ripped the cover off an apparently defective ball. Age is an obvious concern.
The Verdict:
Faith Hill Bitches Out A Fan For Grabbing Her Husband's Junk
Tmz.com - At her Soul2Soul tour stop in Lafayette, LA on Saturday night, one fan got a little grabby with Faith's better half, Tim McGraw -- and Faith ain't havin' none o' that! "Somebody needs to teach you some class, my friend," Faith scolded the fan. "You don't go grabbin' somebody else's -- somebody's husband's balls, you understand me? That's very disrespectful."
I thought grabbing balls or boobs was just part of the deal at a country concert? I mean if Tim McGraw is going to go into the crowd and mix it up with some fat chicks than you just got to accept that people are going to mess with his junk. But if Faith Hill wants to get all bitchy about it that’s cool. Just don’t half ass it Faith. Either stop the show and get in this bitch’s face or let it go. None of this talking junk while still sneaky staying within the flow of the show. Because somebody grabbing your man’s junk is either a big deal or it’s not. You can’t have your cake and eat it too. Personally I say let it slide. Grabbing balls is all part of the show.
