Why the hell are you smiling? WE LOST!

August 18th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized, olympics

More fun from the greatest paper around, the (China) People’s Daily Online.
The three guys on the left? Americans Josh Inman, Bryan Volpenhein and Marcus McElhenney, bronze medalists in rowing. On the right? An Olympics “hostess”. In fact, the Daily’s title for a whole story on Beijing hostesses?
“Perfect hostesses outclass sexy cheerleaders”
We kid you not.
China [...]

Bonaduce vs. Rodman

August 18th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

This season during Danny Bonaduce’s show, I Know My Kid’s a Star, Dennis Rodman called Bonaduce and challenged him to a fight. Now, maybe this was a promotional stunt to promote their new show, hosted by Hulk Hogan, coming out this year called Hulk Hogan’s Celebrity Championship Wrestling. The show will be on CMT and [...]

Making Fools Of Ourselves: Fantasy Football ‘08

August 17th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Here at TMC, we never pass up the chance to look like idiots (but hey, you knew that already, right?). Well, fantasy football season has arrived, and what better way to prove our lack of mettle than by showing the whole world that we have no clue what we’re doing?
Be sure to tune in to [...]

Inferiority complex, China. China, inferiority complex

August 13th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized, olympics

Our new favorite website? The People’s Daily Online, Beijing’s paper/online news source, where reality gets thrown out the window. Take the front page:

What’s missing? For starters, any mention of the lip-syncing girl who performed at the opening ceremonies. Or the digitally enhanced fireworks. But this is what caught our eye most:

Granted, a few papers or [...]

Monday Morning Hangover

August 11th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

Okay…NBC’s coverage of the Olympics so far has been decidedly mixed. I do appreciate their (and DirecTV’s) efforts to put all the channels in one place (Channels 750-756 on satellite…and if you don’t have satellite, you’re an idiot). However, having six Olympics channels going simultaneously has just driven home a central point — NBC has [...]

Team USA: Mayor of Dunk City?

August 11th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized, olympics

Over a billion people tuned in to watch the “Redeem Team” hurt the feelings of 12 Chinese people and subsequently 1.3 billion other Chinese. Oddly enough, Yao started the game off by draining a three, but soon enough things got out of hand. I can’t remember the last time I have seen so many dunks [...]

Manny of the Hour

July 31st, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized, baseball

Fresh off the wire comes the news that the Red Sox have traded slugger Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers in a 3-way deal involving a handful of prospects heading to the Pirates and Jason Bay moving to Boston. I’m sure Boston will bemoan the loss of Manny’s endlessly entertaining antics, but, honestly, it’s not [...]

And you thought high five came from those Subway commercials

July 24th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

I’ve often sat around wondering who created the high five. Hours and hours of thinking.
Ok, I’ve never once thought of it. But this post gives an interesting take on its origin.
The folks at the National High Five Day (stop snickering: Yes, there is such a thing. Third thursday in April. You missed it? Really?) claim [...]

Monday Night Hangover

July 21st, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

We’re back with our semi-weekly collection of links from across SBA…and the world…
— In case you missed it, Buzz Bissinger apparently got beaten down at the Little League World Series. In front of his kids. Will Leitch is somewhere huddled in a corner, laughing his ass off. (Deadspin)
— Old and busted: Steel chairs, folding tables. [...]

Super Sonics, Super Memories

July 18th, 2008 | Posted in Uncategorized

No substance here, just taking a moment to give thanks to the Seattle Sonics for maybe the single greatest advertising campaign ever.
