The Bigger Craze: 99 Problems & Aint 1 Shirts Or 69 Jerseys? [PHOTOS]

What was once only a Jay-Z song is now the latest craze in customized jerseys. We’ve now seen two sets of jerseys referencing the song “99 Problems,” which has the immortal phrase “I’ve got 99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one.

We first noticed this nifty saying on a couple customized Orlando Magic jerseys — the man’s had the number 99 and the name “problems.” His old lady had the number 1 and the name “ain’t.” Ironically, Penny Hardaway also once wore that number.

This week, the same thing turned up at a Washington Nationals game on a pair of customized shirts. Washington Post sports blogger Dan Steinberg gets photos of people at Nationals games who have “Natitude,” which is evidently like having attitude, but instead you’re a fan of a losery baseball team.

Steinberg believed the Washington 99 problems couple had “soooo much Natitude.” Realistically, they’re just a couple copycats, but then, they’re Nationals fans so we don’t really expect much. They probably think Alexander Ovechkin is the best thing to ever touch a puck too.

So, here’s to having major Natitude, bro!

Baltimore Orioles Infielder Robert Andino Is Getting More Depressed By The Year

We don’t know a lot about Baltimore Orioles infielder Robert Andino, but we do know he’s not real happy to be in Baltimore. Just take a look at the photo above.

Andino came to the O’s in 2009, after spending the first four seasons of his big-league career with the Marlins. In 2010 he was obviously still a pretty happy-go-lucky kid. In 2011, he was still kinda happy. But in 2012, Andino just looks beaten down and stressed out. It also looks like he lost a considerable amount of weight. Apparently, that’s the toll playing for the Orioles takes on one’s spirit.

Andino has obviously settled in for another losing season in Baltimore. The team hasn’t had a winning season since 1998, were 69-93 in 2011 and, oh, they play in the toughest division in baseball. For his part, Andino hasn’t done much to help Baltimore’s fortunes.

He’s hitting only .256 in his four seasons with the team.

Jenny McCarthy Wears F-Me Pumps To Dinner With Brian Urlacher; Do You Blame Her?

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher looks like he’s dating former Playboy Playmate of the Year and Jim Carrey’s ex Jenny McCarthy.

The two were spotted leaving Mastro’s, a pricey-ass steak joint, in Beverly Hills last night. The pair tried to slip out the back door into a waiting SUV after dinner, but of course TMZ was there to nab them.

The camera guy fired this question at them as they got into their car. “First date tonight? How did it go?” No reply.

The linebacker, who has a four-year-old daughter with some woman we’re unfamiliar with, was also banging socialite Paris Hilton for a while several years ago. He told Chicagoist about it in 2004.

We met, had a good time in Vegas, and she came to a game. That was about it. She’s a nice girl. And a busy girl — she goes all out. I don’t know what the big deal was. I was single, and we hung out for a while. I didn’t even see the [infamous] video, man. I should’ve watched it; I heard it was pretty good.

We imagine by the way they’re acting, this thing with McCarthy is probably to be taken more seriously.

Saskatchewan Lingerie Football League Team WILL Serve Beer; Gov’t Loosens Nudity Laws

First things first. We were surprised to learn that there’s a Canadian side of the Lingerie Football League and apparently it has or will begin play this year. Actually… no we weren’t. Still, it was news to us.

There’s already a team in Toronto, but the league added initially added teams in five more markets. They are Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Quebec City, and Montreal. Then they announced two more, which haven’t been without controversy. The newest teams are in Abbotsford, British Columbia, Regina, Saskatchewan and Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

The Abbotsford team got some push back from the city council because, hey, that’s a conservative city with religious values. The Saskatchewan teams have come under fire for saying they’ll serve alcohol at their games. Saskatchewan is the only province in Canada where alcohol is forbidden at strip clubs. It’s not unheard of. Sometimes crazy stuff happens when you combine drunk, lonely dudes, booze and naked women.

Well, these women aren’t naked, dammit!

“Provided that nudity is not a regular occurrence — it’s not sort of part and parcel of the event — there wouldn’t be any restriction against that [lingerie football] taking place,” Saskatchewan Liquor and Gaming Authority vice-president of policy Jim Engel said.

Provincial rules ban selling liquor at events where nudity is featured, or more specifically, where there’s “removal of clothing for the purpose of titillation,” Engel said.

“Things we’ve heard of the promoters is this is primarily a demonstration of sport, of athleticism, from the athletes,” Engel said.

Yes… sport, athleticism, athletes…

You can tell this is what it’s all about because there are so many women in the audience. Long live booze! Long live the LFL!

Stanley Cup Fun Facts: It Holds 14 Beers, Cleaned 1-3 Times/Day & Weighs 34.5 LBS!

The Stanley Cup playoffs begin Wednesday and we’re excited. Yes, we prefer football, basketball and baseball over hockey. That being said, the NHL playoffs are the best playoffs of all the major sports.

That’s no joke.

Rarely are there lopsided series, even in the first round. Any team in the playoffs can beat any other team. There are always surprises. But the main thing that differentiates the NHL playoffs from everything is else is the intensity level.

Take the intensity level of the regular season and multiply it by 1,000. Take the NBA playoffs and multiply the intensity level by 50. The same goes for the NFL, which we love dearly. Baseball’s playoffs are the only thing that’s in the same stratosphere because every pitch matters, but those guys aren’t beating the hell out of each other and they aren’t playing with injuries that would put the rest of us in the hospital. Hockey players are.

So, to prime you for the NHL playoffs, here’s your need to know about Lord Stanley’s Cup.

• It was first awarded in 1893 to Montreal HC
• It’s the only trophy in pro sports that isn’t remade each year — the same cup is passed from champion to champion
• All players, coaches and management of the Stanley Cup winning team have their names engraved on the chalice
• They each get a day with The Cup following the Finals
• The Cup is guarded by one man, who spends around 250 days out of the year with it
• The reason there’s a guardian is because of the 1993-94 New York Rangers, who damaged The Cup while bar hopping after winning it
• The Cup is accessible — people can touch it, kiss it, etc., but only winners of The Cup can hoist it above their head or pour booze into it
• The Cup holds 14 cans of beer
• It gets cleaned one-to-three times each day when players have it
• There have been 11 engraving errors on The Cup, some to team names — the majority haven’t been corrected
• Weighs 34.5 lbs.

Philadelphia at Pittsburgh, Los Angeles at Vancouver and Detroit at Nashville are the series that begin Wednesday. Here’s your 2012 Stanley Cup TV schedule.

Watch This Piece Of Sh*t Left Fielder Truck Guy On 2nd Base [VIDEO]

Today, we journey to the world of community college baseball, where guys not good enough or smart enough to play ball at a real college toil. Why would we do such a thing? Because of an awesome cheap shot, that’s why.

It’s hard to decipher at first glance because there’s so much going on in this video, but here’s the scene. Someone from the green team lays down a bunt and doesn’t like what happens when he gets to first base. Words are exchanged, benches clear, but no one comes to blows.

As the benches clear, the left fielder enters the shot and absolutely levels the guy on second base, before running over to the fray like nothing happened. This occurs around the 25 second mark. Take a look.

Posted: March 29, 2012

Premise of Video: Community college basebrawl!

Highlight of Video: Around the 25 second mark, the unsuspecting guy standing on second base gets absolutely leveled by the hard-charging left fielder.

Conclusion: What an asshat!

Sad Reggie Bush: The Giant Ass Getting Drilled By Kanye West [PHOTOS]

Miami Dolphins running back Reggie Bush had his shot with Kim Kardashian. Now someone else is getting with the giant ass.

Rapper Kanye West has reportedly picked up Bush and Kris Humphries’ trash. Even though her divorce to Humphries isn’t finalized, Kardashian has been spotted with West in New York recently.

Apparently, Bush doesn’t think too much of the pairing. He had this to say when the news broke.

These days nothing surprises me! Lol! SMH!

Kanye, of course, is taking full advantage of the situation.

His new song Theraflu contains the following lyrics.

“I admit I fell in love with Kim … ‘Round the same time she fell in love with him … That’s cool, babygirl, do your thing … Lucky I ain’t had Jay drop him from the team.”

A lyrical genius, that man. If you’re missing the connection there, Humphries plays for the New Jersey Nets, who are part-owned by Jay-Z. So, you know, Kanye is such a badass he influences Nets’ personnel moves.

Frankly, we’re with Bush. Kanye is a tool.

LeBron James Now Hiding Hairline Under Two Headbands [ANALYSIS]

Much has been made of Miami Heat star LeBron James’ receding hairline. The dude is only 27 and his hair is disappearing above his temples.

Apparently, he’s a little sensitive about it and has a new solution for hiding the problem. Instead of wearing one headband, James has chosen to sew two headbands together to cover the balding spots. Actually, we doubt he sews, so someone else probably put this new headband together for him.

It does the trick, but you can’t wear a headband off the basketball court, can you? James obviously has enough money. Why he doesn’t go get some implants or something is beyond us. Hair Club For Men, bro!

He could also go the Michael Jordan route and shave his dome.

We think it’s about time he investigated one of these options.
