Keith Hernandez and his mustache.
Height: Short but lavish
Weight: Strong enough to put the Mets on his back
Hair: Groundbreaking
Teams: Cardinals, Mets
Stats: Undefinable on a piece of paper
Responsible for giving inspirational locker room speeches and known for sporting one of the grittiest gamefaces we've seen to date, this mustache was the first irreplaceable non-human game changer. Whether it be intercepting steal signs from opposing teams, or sheer intimidation through it's glistening, magical presence, Keith's manstache brought a unique intangible to the table that only magnified what Hernandez himself brought to the game. After Keith retired, the resilient mustache went on to play three more productive years (sans Keith) in the Mexican league. Much to the dismay of countless baseball fans across the country, a Subway Mustache Series between Hernandez and Don Mattingly never came to fruition.

Corso dukes it out with Digger
By: M. Noonan
College football analyst Lee Corso, feeling a bit insignificant in the midst of March Madness, challenged Digger Phelps to the first-ever duel involving a pencil and a hi-lighter.
Corso, flanked by uncanny assmagnet Kirk Herbstreit and the musk-voiced Craig Fowler, laid down the gauntlet two days after the NCAA Tournament seedings were released when he charged into ESPN studios, screaming for “that big fat Digger.”
Phelps, who was sitting in seclusion in preparation for an upcoming broadcast, emerged calmly from his training pod and approached Corso in front of the SportsCenter desk.
Fowler stood to the side and attempted to bowl Phelps over with a mighty bellow but the former Notre Dame coach was not fazed, causing Fowler to go into an uncontrollable cough. Herbstriet then tried to melt Digger with his eyes, but Phelps merely waved his hand. Herbstriet stood in disbelief, squeezing a football tightly between his hands.
Corso, who one intern described as hyper “as a hedgehog hopped up on meth,” pushed forward with a photocopy of a 2007 NCAA bracket held in front of him. He then placed white fencing gloves on his hands, whipped out his familiar No. 2 pencil and tore the bracket to pieces, muttering something like “tournaments are for the weak.”
This immediately sent Jay Bilas into a tizzy. The former Duke goofball screamed from his seat, telling Corso to “take a hike, ya muppet.” Meanwhile, Reece Davissat smiling and clapping and smiling.
Digger calmed both of them with his steely gaze and - like Luke in Jedi - unveiled a newly colored hi-lighter, one that only a Master NCAA Bracketologist could wield.
“Oh baby, you’re mine. That puny hi-lighter is nothing, baby!” Corso yapped before charging at Phelps.
Digger stood in silence and as Corso’s leaden blade was one inch from Digger’s neck, he spun out of the way, swung his new “electric mustard” hi-lighter behind him, lopping off a handful of Corso’s dirty mop hair.
A haunting silence filled the ESPN studios. Reece Davis stopped smiling. Fowler vomited on the floor and Herbstriet popped the football between his hands.
Digger picked up Corso’s chopped-off hair and handed it back to him. Corso, now weeping uncontrollably, accepted the hair in both hands and left the studio with his football crew.
Digger sat next to Bilas, who was covering his eyes with his hands, shrugged, and said “March Madness. It’ll get the best of us. Now let’s make a show.”

Sikma in all his glory.
Height: 6’ 11" (7’2” in Milwaukee with killer flat-top)
Weight: 230lbs. of man-steel
Hair: Glorious
Teams: Sonics, Bucks
Stats: This category should be re-named style – Jack defined it.
Sikma, whose retired jersey hangs in the Seattle rafters and is on display in the Hernia ring of heroes, scored 17,287 points and grabbed 10,816 during his storied NBA journey. More importantly, he effortlessly grabbed more ass throughout his career than suave archrival Kurt Rambis. Walked to the beat of his own drum and truly put the perm on the map before Hubie Brown, who many mistakenly give credit to for the overwhelming perm craze of the late 70’s/early 80’s.
Career changing moment: Once the perm disappeared, so did his imposing presence in paint.
Strange But True: In his 1st home game with the Bucks, Sikma was responsible for burning the cornea of several people in the first row as he tore off his warm-up pants, revealing the most ungodly, pasty white legs to date (later trumped by Shawn Bradley’s offensive, snow-stick legs).
Comparable athlete in different sport: Darren Daulton, Jake Taylor
Career highlights:
- 1st player to receive no look pass from combover of Milwaukee’s ridiculous player/coach Mike Dunleavy.
- Member of the original "Pussy Posse" (founded with Fred Roberts & Brad Lohaus).
- Responsible for inspiring successful string of Perm-themed men’s salons.
- Once allowed friendly family of birds to nest in his curly blond locks for entire season.
Career lowlights:
- 1st player to be violently dunked on 7 times in one quarter (Darryl Dawkins 6, Julius Erving 1).
- Signs with Bucks; abruptly switches to "unbalanced state trooper/ serial killer flat-top" look to mesh with diverse Milwaukee crowd.
- Formed short-lived, mildly successful musical duo with Gary Carter known as ”Permfection”.
- Routinely mistaken for star of television smash hit “The Greatest American Hero”.
Interesting life facts:
- Following a hazy late-night championship celebration with the 1979 Sonics, Sikma's Buick crashed directly into a telephone pole, amazingly leaving the 6'11" Adonis without a scratch. Apparently, his cushiony, defiant blond Perm absorbed the bulk of the impact while each hair on the glorious mop somehow remained in its original place.
- Upon becoming a member of the Bucks, prankster teammates decided to glue a pair of antlers to Sikma’s head while he was napping in the locker after a long fight from Seattle. Unfortunately, Alvin Robertson used super glue and the antlers remained stuck to his head, forcing him to where them for an entire west coast trip. This is what many say contributed to the introduction of the flagrant foul rule, as Sikma did not change his style in the paint, and aggressively used the antlers to his advantage.

Not even the great Dr. J was a match for Manute Bol.
Height: 8'9"
Weight: 87lbs.
Teams: Bullets (twice), Warriors (twice), Sixers (twice), Heat (seriously)
Stats: He transcended them.
Arguably the greatest player of all-time, Bol was grace personified, earning him the nickname “Manute Bol-yshnikov”. His stunning fluidity was only magnified by Bol’s insistence on wearing the shorts of 5’8 teammate Michael Adams throughout much of his career. Sadly, Bol was forced to retire in the mid 90s due to repeated concussions, caused by dozens of head-on collisions with arena Jumbotrons.
Career changing moment: When Don Nelson encouraged him to launch 3's whenever he got the ball, no matter where he was on the court
Strange But True: Bol was initially spotted by college scouts while bobsledding in Lake Placid
Comparable athlete in different sport: Lenny Dykstra
Career highlights:
- Was doused with shaving cream from head-to-toe by Rick Mahorn and Charles Barkley
- Dunked his own balls in vicious vendetta game against Bullets
- 1st and only player to have one of his balls credited with a blocked shot
- Routinely dunked 3-pointers in practice/warm-up drills
- Swiftly recorded more blocks than points in 8 of his 9 NBA seasons
- Beat the shit out of Karl Malone on several occasions
Career lowlights:
- Attended University of Bridgeport
- Accidentally packed Muggsy Bogues into his luggage (Bogues missed 5 games following the incident)
- Paid attention to Jim Lynam's instruction
- Had more fouls than points in 4 of his 9 NBA seasons
- Was polite to every ref, including Steve Javie
Interesting life facts:
- At 15, the Dinka herdsman killed a marauding lion with his spear while it lay sleeping — a feat his agent noted during his contract negotiations (this is actually true). What's more interesting is that same lion's head now sits above Sarunas Marciulionis' fireplace.
- Bol chipped a tooth by getting it caught on the net when he tried to slam dunk for the first time (actually true). Even more interesting is that same tooth once served as an integral part of Turk Wendall's famed lucky tooth necklace.
- His short-lived, yet entertaining WWF tag team run with Kamala ended in controversy and just short of the tag team belts. After Bol performed his patented 'tree limb' kick to the face of Jim 'The Anvil' Neidhart, the sure pin was not to be as outside interference from Jimmy Hart forced the inevitable double DQ.

For a few fleeting moments each year, the planets align and all the major sports are in action at once in some form or another. One such time recently passed, when hockey and football were in full effect, NBA was in its preseason, and the World Series was underway. During these times, our great nation is lucky enough to sit back and watch one of the greatest staples in all of sport: the buttslap.
Yes, the buttslap. When professional athletes from the four major sports – plus college – have their juices flowing in competitive battle, it is a veritable smorgasbord of buttslaps for the American viewer. Could any time be more glorious for this great nation? I think not.
I know that I do not speak for myself when I say that the buttslap makes all our collective aortas go mushy. But what exactly is the buttslap? Simply put, it is the physical manifestation of a compliment on the court, field or ice. It is perfectly acceptable and even encouraged by some coaches.
I certainly can remember the first time I delivered a buttslap. I was just a young sprite, playing junior varsity basketball as a freshman. I was shy yet able, curious yet underdeveloped. We were playing the neighboring Catholic school in town before the varsity faced its team, and we were down a slew of buckets. Lucky for us, our talented cheerleaders executed marvelous chants and really got our squad revving in the fourth quarter. We rallied a momentous comeback, capped off by a brash and highly risky no-look pass I delivered to our hairy sophomore stud, who banked it in to take the lead. The five parents in the stands and Hairy’s girlfriend let out a collective “woot.” The electricity in the gymnasium that winter evening was palpable.
Our opponents called a timeout. As my squad ran back to the huddle, Hairy pointed to me in acknowledgement. I nodded back but he could see there was something more in my eyes. As we approached the bench, he gave me a look that said, “Yeah, go for it.” So I did. I gave his 15-year-old junk trunk a solid buttslap. All was good.
But enough about my exploits, I am writing to you today for two reasons: to outline the two forms of buttslaps out there and to propose a new one.
The first buttslap is what I call the “buttslap tap.” This is used when a player wants to say, “Nice job out there, buddy,” and taps a cheek of his teammate. Many times this slap occurs when players are substituting for one another, after a nice pass for a jumpshot, a first down, a stolen base, etc.
Then there is the more emphatic “straight-armed buttslap whack.” These happen during more heated moments of the game like when a teammate gets fouled and still hits the shot, or after a goal to tie the game. The “straight-armed buttslap whack” is just what it sounds like: the deliverer swings his locked arm down and then up to the cheek of the desired teammate.
What I propose today to all those athletes out there is a third and new type of buttslap. This slap is a hybrid of the other two, combining both force and finesse. However, this buttslap can only be used in rare, exciting situations, as in a four-point play, a thunderous dunk that sends the game into overtime or a game-winning grand slam.
Here are the directions for the giver of this new buttslap:
- Approach the desired player from the rear.
- Tap the side of either cheek twice with the side of your hand.
- Bring both arms straight back behind you and thrust them forward into your teammate’s cheeks.
- (a) Finally, squeeze the cheeks with all your manual might, kneading the rump with joyous affection.
- (b) (Optional - only proceed if you have strong back): Bend your legs to lift your teammate off his feet and above your head via his backside.
To all those professional athletes out there, next time you are out on the court, on the field or in the dugout, try out this buttslap. The rise it will evoke in your teammates will pump them up like you have never seen before.

Mike Tice Selling Saabs, Kicking Ass and Taking Names
By: J. Hamel
Mike Tice, former head honcho of the Minnesota Vikings was always known as a cerebral-type of NFL head coach. After being let go by the Vikings last season, the erstwhile coach decided to take a break from the gridiron and try his hand at Swedish automobile sales.
Mike Tice was just killing time on his boat until calling old teammate and kindred spirit, David Puddy.
“As soon as the season ended, I thought "What would be the next logical choice?" So I called up my one of my old high school lineman, David Puddy, and asked him if he had any openings on his Saab sales staff,” explained Tice wearing a Big Dog collection golf shirt unbuttoned to show off his glorious flowing chest hair.
After mulling over his paltry options for working in the NFL (including one with the New York Jets, who pushed hard to hire him as their head coach, GM, and CFO), Tice began working at Arnold Saab of West Babylon, NY in June. He was an instant hit explained his sales manager and former left tackle, David Puddy. “My hombre, that’s Spanish, can flat out sell cars,” as he inhaled a doughnut in a single bite, slapped one of the mechanics in the ass, while giving out a myriad of high-fives to 9 passerbyers.
The only bump in the road came in early July during the dealership’s ‘Premium’ sales event (customers were given $20 Starbucks gift cards for taking test drives) when Tice was caught selling Starbucks Gift cards on Craigslists under the screen name, “cullpeppereatsdick”.
"Right now, life is good" Tice explained while questioned about the unfortunate situation. “It was a misunderstanding, these things happen. Bottom line – I won a fishing trip in the Bahamas for record breaking month of September. The NFL, for now can wait. I am all about selling Saabs, kicking ass and taking names.”

NEW YORK, NY – A recent study conducted by cable companies revealed that almost 98% of it's current HDTV customers can't stand viewing broadcasters such as Dick Stockton, Hubie Brown, Bob Davie, John Madden, Dick Enberg, Joe Buck, John ‘Beaker’ Clayton, and the devastating tandem of Joe ‘Fish-Alien’ Morgan and John ‘Bald Cap’ Miller.
Four key members of the DNSUAC list.
"I've been getting calls daily, and it's been almost non-stop since the beginning of football season," said freelance intern Barry Bugel. "I get callers saying things like 'I paid six grand for this plasma, please have that tanned-pizza dough looking Dick Enberg wear a mask next time'. And 'can you at least make Bob Davie wear a hat? His hair looks like silver tinsel hanging from a Christmas tree. And my favorite, ‘can you send Joe Morgan back to the set of E.T.? He’s really freaking me out.’ It's ridiculous, but after reviewing the tapes, these people do have a reason to gripe."
The rapidly growing issue has forced network players to delicately create a 'Do Not Show Under Any Circumstances (DNSUAC)' list and black out the faces of the banned broadcasters where HD is available. Some networks like NBC are taking it a step further. While John Madden’s live voice will still be used, his face will be digitally replaced with, as one producer suggested, 'a Shadow Stevens or a Mario Lopez'. Others like ESPN have taken a different approach and have begun slapping ads across the broadcasters faces. Joe Morgan was recently plastered with multiple logos including promotions for Applebee’s shrimp bar and the disgusting brownie campaign by Dominos pizza.
Viewer onslaught has only gotten worse on the web as posters have flooded message boards calling for all HD cameras covering Dick Stockton (affectionately known by bloggers as 'The Crypt Keeper' and 'smoke-hair') to be stationed a minimum of 30 feet away and equipped with a ‘no-zoom’ lock. Other posters have asked that Hubie Brown simply stop 'scaring the crap out of them', while over 1,100 different posters described John Clayton's split-screen airtime featured on SportsCenter as 'fatal'.
Circuit City and Best Buy have acknowledged over 30,000 returns nationwide since the start of pre-season football as well as an 88% increase in full coverage insurance policies since many customers have begun throwing their flat-screens out the window. Industry insiders expect these numbers to balloon as either Joe Morgan or Joe ‘ventriloquist dummy’ Buck will broadcast every single playoff game that is geographically possible.

SALT LAKE CITY, UT – Retired NBA stiff Shawn Bradley continued to ruffle feathers at his new office job, starting his 3rd fight in two weeks and leaving his superiors with no choice but to suspend him. Sources say the 7'6" cantankerous Mormon, now an Assistant Account Manager at the small ad agency Finklehorns Worldwide, started his latest brawl with Audit Processing Analyst Phil Horningsham, 53, while the two were in the office kitchen.
The cantankerous Bradley seen here mixing it up in his playing days
“Oh man, it was crazy!” explained 21-year old intern Steve Snowbush. “We were all in the kitchen making our morning coffees. Phil was getting some milk from the fridge and all the sudden Bradley comes out of nowhere and starts boxing out Phil from the fridge and grabbing his milk. Then he starts yelling at Phil to watch the elbows, pointing right in his face! Next thing you know they’re rolling around on the floor, going at it like two wildcats! It was awesome!” Two eyewitnesses claimed to have seen Bradley’s away Mavs uniform peaking out from under his work clothes.
Bradley had been temperamental ever since his first week at Finklehorns Worldwide when he was thrashed 11-0 by the stocky, 5'8" Horningsham in a one-on-one Nerf 'hoop it up' kitchen tournament.
The outburst should come as no surprise to basketball fans, who saw Bradley's rapid descent from Mormon missionary at BYU to general asshole in the NBA. Or perhaps that was a positive change.

The stunning Svetlana before taking a liking to Chewy Bars
By: J. Hamel
CHECHNYA -- ESPN NBA Draft Guru has filed a lawsuit against a popular Internet mail-order bride company for false advertising.
The 37-year-old Ford has made a name for himself with his dead on predictions, meticulous scouting and top notch insights into NBA-bound college and foreign prospects. Ford began the courtship process on March 23rd (coinciding with the NCAA Elite 8) after reading a success story during a cross-Atlantic flight to conduct some overseas scouting.
After reading about a number of success stories, Ford decided to give the international match-making service Volgagirl.com a chance. Ford says he was not only lured by the promise of a “subservient wife who has old-school values,” but also by the fact that upon landing in a remote province of Chechnya (to scout grainy videos of an elusive 17-year-old 6-foot 6-inch PG with a wingspan of a seven footer by the name of Vlatin Putchinakazhov) he was able to log onto the company’s Web site and scout out profiles of potential mates.
“I was lured by the promise of soul mates with long legs, soft hands around the glass, great footwork around the kitchen and freakishly strong birthing hips,” explained a dejected Ford from his hotel room in the grand Bahamas Islands - where he is scouting a shoot-first, 19-year-old seven footer that has only been playing basketball for 17 weeks named Aristotle ‘Coco’ Spitjack.
After signing on with an initial signing bonus of 10,000 American dollars Ford was summoned to the company’s corporate headquarters in Albany, N.Y., where he was able to view black-and-white beta cam videos of potential mates. “I was able see how they interacted with each other in various simulated household chores and watch 10 minute interview sessions where they spoke about their hopes, dreams and prominent household skills. Within an hour I was immediately drawn to an 18-year-old blue chipper named Svetlana. She was almost too good to be true. She was 5-foot-11 with long arms that were evident in the video as she demonstrated replacing a florescent light bulb while standing flatfooted,” explained a visibly dejected Ford.
Chad Ford in happier times with two brother-in-laws Boris and Drago
After nearly two days of email and video cam courtship, Ford flew to Slovakia and married his blue chip bride. After a brief honeymoon they flew back to Ford’s home in Virginia to soak up the wedding bliss – or so it seemed. “Within a week all Svetlana did was lie on the couch and watch Dr. Phil, The Home Shopping Club and Telemundo – she doesn’t even speak Spanish. On top of that she went back on her promise to learn how to speak basic English. All she wanted to do was watch television all day and eat my Chewy bars. She was really in my dog house. She didn’t work on developing any of her skills around the house. She really failed to live up to her promise and the lofty expectations that I placed on her. I won’t even go into her lack of aggressiveness in the bedroom. She was disappointingly timid and indifferent in that department.”
Within two months, Ford had seen enough and contacted Volgagirl.com and asked to have them take her back and void the marital contract based on false advertising. Volgagirl.com refused to cooperate with Ford noting the difficulty they had in buying her out of her contract with another foreign matchmaking agency that she had originally signed with as a 14-year-old.
Svetlana has since moved out and began working as a dancer/massage therapist to support herself. Ford meanwhile continues to nurse the wounds of rejection.
As he sat in the hotel lobby (which was hosting the Miss USA Best Legs, Ass and Bikini Championships) all he could do was lament on a missed opportunity, “Listen, for a young guy like me it is not easy to meet women. I mean, I had really high expectations for Svetlana but I guess I am just going to have to keep looking. I have heard there are some really great prospects working for some outfits specializing in women from the Far East.”

BACKWOODS, Ohio – Weeks before ESPN launches its first College GameDay of the season, analyst Kirk Herbstreit was discovered passed out eight miles outside the Ohio State campus, clutching what could be the perfect blue shirt to wear onscreen.
Herbstreit springs to life, thanks to dazzling new shirt
A pack of rabid thirtysomething women were dispatched to find Herbstreit, the ESPN analyst, former Ohio State quarterback and uncanny assmagnet. Clad in a dirty wool cloak covered in foliage, a black trucker hat and heavily bearded, Herbstreit would have been stranded and left for dead if not for his piercing blue eyes, police said.
“Another two, three hours, GameDay really would have suffered,” Sergeant Bill Gorski said. “Luckily these aging sluts locked in on his baby blues like the North Star.”
Herbstreit was apparently locked in his secret underground laboratory somewhere in the backwoods of Ohio, furiously working to concoct a long-sleeve button-down shirt the perfect shade of blue to match his eyes. Judging from his vitals, doctors said the former QB had gone weeks without food or water, running on nothing but pure desire to get the precise hue.
Renowned scientist and Ohio State Professor Dr. John Whelan said the shirt should be burned immediately, for fear of what it could do in high-definition television.
“If I’m looking at what I think I’m looking at,” Whelan said, wiping sweat from his brow, “this shirt and Kirk’s majestic ocular pigmentation could ignite a fire in the loins of stay-at-home wives equal to an explosion of a nearby supernova.”
After several hours of Arctic Cool Gatorade and old game footage, Herbstreit was nursed back to stable condition and spoke for the first time in nearly 8 months.
“I suffer for my craft,” he muttered weakly. “Some say ‘the eyes are the windows to the soul.’ In my case, they’re the battering rams to the vagina."

Griffin, seen here, has always enjoyed grabbing for loose balls
By: J. Hamel
DETROIT - Cadillac debuted its latest foray into the limited edition SUV market - the Eddie Griffin Edition Escalade. Cadillac says the before-mentioned EG Edition Escalade was inspired by randy NBA legend Eddie Griffin, who’s recent run-in with the law has inspired Eddie Griffin Laws in 27 continental states prohibiting motorists from watching pornography while operating a motor vehicle.
Cadillac VP of Special Edition Marketing Chet Dicklitter noted that Griffin’s recent legal troubles (Griffin was recently cited for operating a motor vehicle while intoxicated and performing sex on himself while watching pornography) created a niche market for, “Horny alpha males who demand a superior driving and comfort experience. The EG edition gives the driver precision handling, superior response and of course privacy.”
The Escalade EG edition comes fully equipped with the following standard features: Mirrored ceilings, custom tinted windows, new car smell replaced with that “just had sex” smell, surround sound featuring perfectly shaved tweeters, digital satellite feed to the entire Vivid Video catalogue, interior windshield wipers, NASA-designed boner holder™ for “hands free” steering, and cooled seats.
Fully loaded (no pun intended) models will reportedly come complete with chrome plated monogrammed anal beads hung from rearview mirror, GPS system voiced by legend Jenna Jameson, and moan-activated lotion and tissue dispenser.
Griffin seems turned on to have his large fingerprints on nearly every aspect of this project, “I was excited when Cadillac came to me for my input into the design of the vehicle. For instance the cooled seats option was completely my idea cuz (sic) I noticed my undercarriage would get real sweaty on long drives. You know what I’m saying?”
Though rival SUV makers scoffed at Cadillac aligning itself with Mr. Griffin and Vivid Video, it looks like they will be the ones laughing and wanging all the way to the sperm bank. Early indications are that Cadillac will have a hard time keeping the EG editions on the lots. “We test marketed the EG in select cities, and we are getting reports that there is a three week waiting list for test drives,” reports Dinklitter.

(AP) EAST DOUCHEWICK, CT - In a long overdue move, ESPN has finally unveiled their latest channel: ESPNd "The Douche", which will handle the overflow of coverage on the biggest douchebags in sports that ESPN, ESPN2 and ESPN News simply doesn't have enough time for.
The new channel will have 24 hour coverage of Barry Bonds, Kobe Bryant, Roger Clemens and Terrell Owens, but will also find time for some lesser known, up and coming douchebags like AJ Pierzniski and Ben Roethlesburger. The channel will also feature a DoucheTicker that will keep people up to date on the latest news of their favorite assbags.
"We're estatic" gushed ESPN prez George Bodenheimer "This really helps us achieve our goal of just shoving superficial, idiotic stories down peoples throats 24/7, and just ruining sports in general. We couldn't be happier". Bodenheimer then went on to praise the new lead anchorman of the Douche, Stuart Scott. "Oh man, well, that was just a no-brainer. Who better to be the face of the Douche than arguably the biggest douche in tv history? He's gonna be fabulous." Bodenheimer added that the 39-year old man-lizard will surely be missed on Sportscenter, but people can always find him on the new DoucheCenter.
Some other programs on The Douche will be nightly 'Beyond the Douche' segments, 'Douchebag Tonight' and NFL Douchetime, while Around the Horn, Cold Pizza and Dream Job will make a natural transition to the new station.
