USA SENIOR MEN’S NATIONAL TEAM HOTTIES

Dwyane Wade and Carmelo on the floor! Hola! The hot ballers of the Men’s National Team are ripping it up in Vegas. The team spanked Puerto Rico in a scrimmage yesterday, playing without the NBA’s leading scorer Kobe Bryant. Kobe is the official benchwarmer for the team due to his injured knee and doesn’t seem to mind: “It’s amazing, it’s fun to watch,” Bryant said. “They come at you in waves. It’s nonstop, the pressure that they put on full court, quick hands, quick feet that they have.” I’d like to put Carmelt-in-my-mouth-Anthony, Dwyane Wade and Lebron James under some full court pressure to really see how quick their hands are.

Meanwhile, that furry beast Pau Gasol is training with the Spanish National squad if preparation for the upcoming sporno-fest of the World Championships in Japan. (August 19th). Looks like his practice is going awesome…

JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE LOSES MENSA POINTS.

So Justin Timberlake is gearing up for a forthcoming interview in an unknown mens magazine and has been given carte blanche to choose the “interviewer.” Obviously, the interview will not be conducted at a restaurant, because JT picked Victoria Beckham, wife of Athlebritolgy God David. A source says’ “Justin was adamant that she was the only person fit for the job. Victoria is a big fan of Justin’s music and was very flattered that he personally requested her. Everyone is telling Victoria it would be brilliant for her to do it.” No, what would be brilliant is if JT picked me. I apparently came in as JT’s “second-choice”. Cry me a friggin river…

THIS HEAT WAVE IS BURNING IN MY HEART
Living in California, I’ve grown accustomed to the heat. But elsewhere in the world, it seems to be creating havoc. Mist machines have been installed at Boston’s Fenway Park while announcements are shown on the replay board advising fans “to take precautions and remain hydrated.” They even hired additional medical crews “to deal with the expected increase of heat-related illnesses and incidents.” Guess the additional crew wasn’t around on Saturday when a woman “went into apparent cardiac arrest at a Fenway concourse picnic area” and later died at the hospital. The saddest part about this story is that she was seven months pregnant. Her newborn son is apparently doing well. But what blows me away is that Red Sox VP/Media Relations John Blake said that the team is “considering contributing to a trust fund.” CONSIDERING? This should be a no-brainer for the Sox…come on fans, rally a little.

GLOBAL WARMING CAUSED BY NFL TRAINING CAMPS?

From left…Houston Texans defensive end Earl Cochran, Baltimore Ravens safety B.J. Ward, Landon Schrage, and hot, hot, hot, linebacker Ray Lewis all try to remain cool during training camp sessions. It’s been proven that these guys are so hot, that they are inadvertently raising the Earths core temperature, as well as mine.

One hottie that always remains cool is Washington Redskins running back-to-my-arms Clinton Portis. Portis is notorious for sporting various wigs, fake glasses and other flare during weekly chats with reporters. He has assumed such alter egos as Sheriff Gonna Get Ya, and the Inspector. For obvious reasons, my favorite is Coach Janky-Spanky, although I wouldn’t mind the sheriff coming to get me. To view all Portis’s alter-egos, check out his website: www.clintonportis.com/characters.html

TIGER TAKES THE BUS

Former Pittsburgh Steelers running back Jerome Bettis joined Tiger Woods at the Pro-Am day for the Buick Open at Warwick Hills Golf & Country Club in Michigan today. Bettis did so well, that he actually had a birdie on the 18th hole!
