I’ve been watching a lot of the Olympics this year, more than I care to admit and I can’t tell you how frustrated I’ve been with NBC’s complete lack of interest in the Olympic Cheerleaders. In case you’ve missed them, pay attention as NBC goes to commercial, as they’re typically running onto the court/field/whatever as the Olympic theme song rolls in (seriously, I love that tune, but do they need to play it EVERY time the cut to commercial and back?).
At any rate, the first time I saw them I was like, “WTF, the Olympics has cheerleaders?!” and bam, NBC cut to commercial before I could take in their splendor. Well, have no fear, Livemanly.com has you covered. Check out these galleries of Olympic cheerleaders in Beijing:
If you grew up in the late 1980’s then you probably had a Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) and like all of us you probably spent more time blowing in the cartridges trying to get them to work than actually playing the game.
Virtual NES solves this problem and lets you play hundreds of classic NES games for free. Once again, the legality of the site is questionable, so jump into Tecmo Super Bowl, Baseball Stars and Super Mario 3 while you still can.
Not sure how legal (or viable) this business model is so it probably won’t last long, but Mygazines.com allows users to read and share print magazines online for free. All the titles you’d expect to be there like Maxim and Esquire are available in addition to more obscure titles like Cigar Aficionado and The Robb Report Collection.
Even more surprising is that you can view the “behind the counter” titles like Club and Cherri (but you need to register first (smart)). Like Napster and Kozmo, I’d get in there and use this service as soon as possible, because it likely won’t be here tomorrow.
Hopefully this comes out at the same time as a free HBO weekend. Not sure it’s worth the $20+ per month I paid to watch Sopranos and Entourage. Lots of True Blood “back story” on Youtube.
A few years back I plowed through (pun intended) all 32 NFL team’s cheerleaders to find the hottest one in the bunch. It was time consuming and honestly too hard to pick just one. So this year, I’ll randomly highlight the ladies of the NFL I thought I’d start with one of the most “talented” teams from my 2005 review–the Denver Broncos Cheerleaders.
Finally, a website entirely dedicated to the hot chicks networks hire to “cover” sporting events. Seriously, SidelineHotties.com has been around for nearly 2 years and has 6 pages of sideline hottie goodness.
I’m pissed I didn’t think of this first, but imagine all of the other fill-in-the-blank-hotties.com websites one could create. I see a media empire in someone’s future.
I’m sure you’ve heard the radio ads featuring the Most Interesting Man in the World by Dos Equis (”when aliens come to earth, they ask him to probe them…”). Well, Dos Equis is running a contest to find an assistant for the Most Interesting Man in the World.
The prize includes $2500, free beer (hello, why haven’t you signed up for this yet), merchandise and trips (TBD). Reading the fine print, the job pays $18,000 (+ travel) for about a 1 year commitment starting in December. Actors need not apply.
If I were a single man without obligations, I’d throw my hat in the ring. After all, who doesn’t like free beer?
During the opening ceremonies in Beijing, Bob Costas and Matt Lauer must have mentioned the Olympic demise of baseball and softball a half a dozen times, but, as was the case the entire night, they failed to explain an issue that anyone actually cared about.
So I was left to research why in the wide world of sports would sports like baseball and softball be removed from the Olympics. Well, the reason may shock you. The IOC, the governing body of the Olympics, voted the sports out, for the official reason that they are not timed and therefore difficult to schedule.
Several alternative conspiracy theories exist including the steroid scandal, MLB’s alternative “World Baseball Classic” and the MLB’s reluctance to put the regular baseball season on hold during the Games.
My favorite part of the AFP story is this:
“Reinstatement will not be easy. Baseball and softball will compete with golf, rugby sevens, karate, squash and roller sports to prove worthy of inclusion in the Olympic lineup.”
Are you kidding me!? Roller sports and “rugby sevens” are better than baseball and softball? Screw China’s human rights violations, that statement alone is reason enough to boycott the Games.
