The Sports Pig says: In one of the most appalling acts in Olympic history, Cuba’s Angel Valodia Matos kicked a Swedish referee in the face after losing his bronze medal match in taekwando. Matos attacked the official, throwing punches and kicks, after being declared the loser.
It’s funny how little criticism thug Delisha Milton-Jones is getting for punching a coach. Yet Mahorn is getting blasted for pushing Lisa Leslie.
IGNORANT AMERICANS CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY CHILDRESS BOLTED FOR EUROPE
What is the issue with former Hawk Josh Childress leaving the NBA? Let’s see: pay me $20 million, lead a team in scoring and live in Greece. You’re right, Childress is crazy!! Here’s a shocker, it’s a possibility that some people actually think living outside the country is better than living in Hotlanta.

ANTI-AMERICAN JOURNALIST POPPED FOR RUNNING OVER A PEDESTRIAN
Edgar Mercedes has made a fortune taking bets. He is the owner of Out 27, the biggest sports book and bar in the Dominican Republic. Mercedes also owns 45 other bookmaking operations on the island. Mercedes is a top ”Buscones” or street agent who represents several baseball players (including Inoa.)
Ok, we’re back. Sorry for the hiatus. If you haven’t heard, we’re blogging MMA and some boxing for Yahoo. We will do our best to keep Mr. Sunshine current. Especially with the topics, pictures and videos we discuss on Cofield & Cokin.
Sorry, but we’re not buying David Stern’s answer to Tim Donaghy’s league agenda claims.
Make sure you go back and read our original story on the Donaghy betting scandal. It’s funny how our account more closely resembles the news that came out over the last six months than the original accounts did.
We love to see anti-Vegas Senator Brownback saying he’s not in favor of big government legislating the robber barron oil companies. Seems like a complete reversal since this is the same guy who is pro-government intervention when it comes to the FCC and free speech on TV/radio. He’s also in line with Tennessee’s Bill Frist on making sure that the nation can’t gamble online.
Second-year guard Rajon Rondo, he of the 16 assists, came down the court laughing at how easy it all was. Reserve Leon Powe – Leon Powe? – dominated inside. He scored 21 points.
The Lakers sputtered and stalled. Let Boston completely determine the game’s flow. Let them impose their will.
By the middle of the fourth quarter, they were acting all giddy on the bench. Laughing it up, celebrating. I think I saw them measuring for a 17th banner.
The Lakers looked lost. In their most important game of the season, were completely out of sync.
It was about respect and cultures and the future of mankind. The Lakers and Celtics didn’t just want to beat each other, they wanted to beat each other down. Wanted complete submission, wanted to hear a last gasp.
Now everybody is just so chummy, it’s disgusting. They all know and like each other. They’re pals off the court. They don’t just shake hands, they hug.
Kevin Garnett puts his arm around a young Kobe Bryant at his first All-Star Game and says, “Don’t worry kid, I’ll help you out.” And then lobs him a pass. Bryant and Paul Pierce play summer hoops together at UCLA. They probably share Christmas cards.
It’s way too cute for me. A true disservice to all those Lakers and Celtics who came before them and would spill blood on the floor before capitulating.
IS BOB RYAN REALLY MORE LEGIT THAN BILL SIMMONS?
Ryan went out of his way to attack ESPN’s internet star Bill Simmons last week. Ryan basically said Simmons lacked perspective in saying that the Lakers-Celtics really isn’t a great rivalry outside of their meetings in the 80s.
Beware of clever people who know what they know, but don’t know what they don’t know, which is far more important.
There is a younger writer of great renown who loves the Boston Celtics, which is fine. He commands an enormous national audience, who have come to regard him as The Authority on all things Celtic. And he has an exhaustive knowledge of the current team. No problem there.
But he has over-stepped his bounds. He is trying to sum up the whole Celtics-Lakers thing in his dot.com forum, and he starts off by saying that it wasn’t really a rivalry because the Celtics won the first eight times the two played in the Finals. He completely dismissed the six series of the 60s because the Celtics won all six, as if this somehow means by definition the two teams did not have a viable rivalry.
Now Ryan has people questioning his perspective or better yet his level of scenility with this gem from the weekend.
Manny being Manny was not the reason, Ramirez and Kevin Youkilis went at it in the 5th of the Rays game on Thursday. Apparently Youkilis dugout behavior is what ignited the brew-ha-ha.
According to three sources, Ramírez had told Youkilis to “cut that [expletive] out.” That was what provoked Youkilis and started the problem.
Neither player was in the clubhouse after Thursday’s game.
The two hadn’t spoken as of yesterday afternoon. “We’ll talk, definitely,” Youkilis said. “We’ve got 99 games left. It’s a long season.”
While sources had indicated that part of the problem was Youkilis’s tossing of equipment in the dugout, the first baseman said, “I think it was a misunderstanding more than anything. I don’t think it was because I threw something.”

Doesn’t it seem like Jason Whitlock only writes about race now. He also loves to go against the grain and side with whitey. I’m the first guy to admit many of the NBA’s popularity issues of the past 10 years revolved around white america and it’s biases. But Whitlock’s take that the NBA is back because it’s cleaned up its visual image is silly..
**No one wants to watch Delonte West or Larry Hughes play basketball. It’s uncomfortable and disconcerting. You don’t want your kids to see it. You don’t want your kids to think they should decorate their neck, arms, hands, chest and legs in paint. You don’t want to waste time explaining to your kids that some millionaire athletes have so little genuine self-confidence that they find it necessary to cover themselves in tattoos as a way to mask their insecurities.
**You just want to watch basketball and feel like you’re watching people you can relate to a little bit, people you somewhat respect.
**The dress code and the age limit have helped.

WHY IS AMERICAN PIE’S JASON BIGGS HANGING AT REHAB?
KATE COURIC’S MALE COUNTERPART IS ON BOARD AT ESPN
Next week is the big one!!! Can you feel the excitement? Rick Reilly, the J.D. Drew of the media, starts his downspiral on The Leader. Reilly is a solid scribe but does he have any shot to actually earn his $3.4 million a year salary? Track his TV and radio appearances. I’m saying he’s somewhere between Roy Smalley and Howie Schwab. Who got a worse deal…ESPN or the Red Sox with Drew ($14 mill/yr)?
The only thing worse is the fact that CBS is on the hook for $39 million with Katie Couric. The savior just turned in the lowest ratings in network television.
With 10-cent gas and the most uninhibited women in the world, Brazil is my next home. We showed you yesterday, the difference between US and Brazilian soccer by pitting American Michelle Akers against Laisa Andrioli (NSFW).
ESPN1250 in Pittsburgh dumped Mark Madden for his Ted Kennedy remarks..
“I’m very disappointed to hear Sen. Ted Kennedy of Massachusetts is near death because of a brain tumor. I always hoped Senator Kennedy would live long enough to be assassinated.”
The first response from many is, “he crossed the line and community has spoken.” Is that right? Check out the message boards from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette…
When you listened to Mark Madden you knew what you were getting. Sure he was offensive at times but you always had the choice of not listening. The Ted Kennedy comment was very unfortunate on Madden’s part. He knew what he was saying when he said it. Had he stuck to sports I bet no one would care.
Frank, Union City PA
Mark Madden was in the sports entertainment business. The second word is imperative. Mr. Madden was and is an entertainer. With a vast knowledge of sport and the ability to make us laugh, become angry, or experience any other series of emotions, Madden could at least invoke something interesting in each of us (or play devil’s advocate) which is better, or more interesting, than the ra-ra talk elsewhere
John Jefferson Hills
It’s disappointing to read Mark has been canned (even though we knew it was just a matter of time). Not only because he brought SATIRE to sports radio, but because ESPN radio has been exposed as the “Stepford Wife” of the Disney corp. Let’s be honest, he wasn’t fired because of the Kennedy comments – he had made too many disparaging comments about ESPN itself lately.
Matt, Pittsburgh
At last you finally got rid of this creep. He’s a disgrace to sports talk radio and to Pittsburgh. Every time I came back to the Burgh I couldn’t believe he was still on the air.
Moose
I haven’t always agreed with everything Madden has said, but this firing is a little ridiculous. Obviously, this was an offensive remark. But I find it very ironic who the other party is. Ted Kennedy has made an entire political career of offensive, and even bigoted remarks.
Jim
Mark had something no other radio personality had..personality. I am sure he will be picked up by someone soon and I will listen again. If you didn’t like it you didn’t have to listen. Just the same I don’t like ESPN radio now .. So I will not listen.
Bart, Pittsburgh
The real reason that Mark Madden was fired is because of his relentless criticism of ESPN for not hiring him, instead of Mike Tirico. He has on numerous times claimed Tirico was his inferior and that he was the man for the job.
Michael
Read the entire comments section, see how negative remarks about Madden you can find. Looks to me like the community wants ESPN management fired.
YAHOO’S DAN WETZEL SAYS KIMBO NOT A MAIN EVENT FIGHTER
Dan is quickly becoming a fan of MMA. He talks about the CBS debut of MMA with a card this Saturday night. I disagree with him on this one. But his points are well explained…
If this is, indeed, the most important card in the history of the sport, wouldn’t it be nice if it actually had some of the best fighters and best representatives of mixed martial arts?
Anderson Silva, B.J. Penn and Georges St. Pierre display what MMA is all about. Not menacing scowls and WWE-like personas, but unreal athletic ability, disciplined training and tremendous intelligence from fighters as multi-skilled as they are fearless.
If one of them were on CBS, it would force America to realize what MMA really is. Kimbo, who taps into our primal instincts, plays to what many think the sport is. Let Kimbo cash every check he can – good for him – but he plays to MMA’s difficult-to-shake reputation as “human cockfighting,” as Sen. John McCain once branded it.
How many of these stupid headlines will we see tomorrow and Saturday leading up the Kimbo card? This from the Chicago Tribune….
The story has little to do with that headline. Clearly, another Indy 500 and French Open fan is working the desk of a soon to be obsolete newspaper sports staff.
“It was like $2,000. That’s it,” Rose said in the interview. “And it didn’t change — because I know you’re going to say, Well betting’s all about pitching and stuff like that — I didn’t care who was pitching for me or who was pitching for the opposition. I just made it easy for the guys making the bets and just bet this much every game and that’s the way we did it.”
I don’t see why we should believe anything Pete says at this point. Does anyone truly think a degenerate gambler of Pete’s level wouldn’t bet against his team too?
MARIAH CAREY IS MOVING UP THE MOST DOABLE COUGAR LIST
SPEAKING OF COUGARS, IS ALYSSA MILANO THERE YET?
I’m a huge fan of Samantha Micelli. She loves sports. That’s clear from the 100+ athletes she’s dated. Just kidding, it’s only dozens. Hard to believe that she’s 35!! She looks great.
I THOUGHT REHAB AT THE HARD ROCK WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO GAIN ACCESS TO
What is the guy from American Pie, Jason Biggs doing there?
TRUTH COMES ABOUT SEX AND THE CITY CHICKS…THEY WERE WHORES!
We did the math, punched in some numbers and calculated that during the course of 94 episodes and six seasons, the women of “Sex and the City” hit the sheets with a combined total of 94 men and one woman.
Perennially chic newspaper columnist Carrie Bradshaw and her three cohorts picked up waiters, doormen, trainers, lawyers, yoga instructors, bartenders, writers, baseball players, ophthalmologists, Realtors, artists, architects, furniture designers and unemployed actors.
This is one of the greatest videos I’ve ever seen.
The ultra hot and apparently Olympic gymnast Fergie, dances like our favorites from Cheetahs Strip Club in front of a bunch of 6-12 year olds. The kids looked embarassed as Fergie shakes her ass, moans and groans during an early morning appearance on the Today Show. Wow!
I’M STARTING TO CHANNEL BUZZ BISSINGER’S ANGER ABOUT SOME ASPECTS OF BLOGS
There are lots of good bloggers out there. And then there are those who are stupid and lives revolve around calling in daily to dork-talk on stations like WIP, WFAN and WEEI.
During his now infamous CostasNow meltdown, it was clear Bissinger confused the actual blogger with the viewers comments.
I have to say the annoying 23-year old fat sh*t sitting in his basement commenting on many blogs does need to be kicked in the face. We posted the story yesterday about Hunter Pence’s ridiculously hot girlfriend. Check out the photos. It cracks me up to read the dipsh*ts reading the blog start to pick her apart…
MIKE — She’s got a tad of a badunkadunk. He could do much better.
STEVE — Nice Hooters,but my wife has beautiful hooters,and my wife is 14 years older than ;this girl.
IS KEVIN JOHNSON A VICTIM OF FEMALE DOUBLE-STANDARD?
The former NBA player is running for Mayor of Sacramento. I bet you KJ thought playing the Detroit Bad Boys was dirty, but it’s nothing compared to the political arena.
Johnson has dealt with two unproven sexual misconduct charges over the last 13 years. In both cases, the police couldn’t find enough evidence to make the claims stick. KJ was exonerated.
That said, the female candidate in the Sac mayoral race has repeatedly made it fair game to smear KJ during the lead up to the early June election. SportsByBrooks.com has a good list of the stories detailing how KJ has been a human punching bag for the female candidate……
I’ve been a called pansy for being an avid fan of American Idol. I’m sure all “real” men know by now…David Cook won the Battle of the Davids. I’m positive one NBA coach has no idea who won the contest.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson and Spurs headman Gregg Popovich were asked about the Idol Finale which coincidentally was taking place across the street from Staples Center in LA.
“Well, fan may be a broad term,” Jackson said. “I’m kind of a nay-sayer but I enjoy watching it with Jeanie (Buss, his girlfriend). She (records and) edits it for me.”
So, who does Phil like?
“I think David’s going to win,” he said.
Popovich not so much….
“Is that where they dance with each other?” he said, laughing.
So is Phil a wimp? Or is he the wiseman, afterall he’s the one with Jeannie B (NSFW).
BIGGEST RIPOFF SURGERY GOING
I could be a bastard and laughed at the now fat Carnie Wilson but I won’t. I actually feel for the mouthy lardass.
The photo on the left was from a Playboy shoot back in 2003. She lost 150+ pounds with the aid of stomach reduction surgery and then showed an impressively huge rack (NSFW).
Apparently, she’s eaten like an elephant since and the surgery isn’t exactly fullproof. You feel bad for her? Or am I old, soft pussy?
DOES ANYONE READ THIS CHICAGO PAPER?
The Arlington Daily Herald may be the third biggest paper in the Chicagoland area for all I know. Or it could be suitable for kitty litter liner.
Either way this Bulls writer is off his rocker. He is the typical print media member nowadays. If I say black, you say white. If I say the sky is blue, you say it’s not. It’s the Peter Brown (former radio host) principle, go against the grain just to piss people off. The point being there is too much arguing simply to create conflict. Does ADH writer Barry Rozner really believe this is a wise move for the Bulls No. 1 pick?.?.?.?.
Maybe the best move is to deal the pick and get three from New Jersey (10, 21, 40), rebuilding the team and finding a star in a trade, but that kind of radical thinking doesn’t seem possible given Paxson’s deliberate nature.
He follows up that gem with a suggestion that if you take Derrick Rose, you may want to get THE guy who knows how to coach him.
All this might be easier if the Bulls had a coach in place, and it wouldn’t be as crazy as you think to steal John Calipari from Memphis, since he understands Rose and would certainly know how to employ him.
Smart move Calipari, the Rose “expert” coached him for all of 39 games. Of course this completely discounts the fact that Calipari’s NBA resume kinda stinks.
TIME FOR COUGARS TO PUT ON SOME MORE CLOTHES?
