Show cancellation doesn't stop Chandler Bing from supporting Kings

By: Haboob Blog
Here's what we know about actor Matthew Perry:

He played Chandler Bing on Friends, one of the most popular sitcoms of all time.

He is a big hockey fan.

And his latest sitcom, Go On, was recently cancelled by NBC after just one season.

That didn't dampen Perry's enthusiasm for the Los Angeles Kings Western Conference playoff series against the St. Louis Blues. Perry attended the contest at Staples Center in L.A. last Friday night.

It also didn't dampen Fox Sports reporter Dan Moriarty's desire to bring up the cancellation to the actor during an intermission interview.

Awkward.

"Could you be any more insensitive?"

Mark Cuban asks YOU to design team's new uniforms

By: Haboob Blog
Mark Cuban is one of the best owners in sports.

He has no issue spending money in an effort to win, and he seems to 'get it' with regards to fans.

And yet, he's found a way to be even cooler.

Cuban and the Mavericks would like to have a new look in the 2015-16 season, which means they need redesigned uniforms.

And where will they turn for the design?

The fans, of course.

In a blog post, Cuban essentially lays out the ground rules.

They want the look to "stay true" to the franchise's tradition and is not a total revamp of the color scheme. Also, anything that is submitted -- whether it's chosen or not -- will belong to the Mavericks.

"If you think its horrible that the Mavs own your design. Do not post. If you think its cool that the Mavs could possibly use your design and you will have eternal bragging rights, then post away."

Cuban also said tickets may be given out, and designs will be posted online so folks can "glance lovingly" at them.

The owner goes on to note that it's possible none of the designs will be chosen, and the contest will run through the last day in May.

Manny Ramirez is not an expert slider

By: Haboob Blog
Love him or hate him, Manny Ramirez will go down in baseball history as one of the best pure hitters to ever play the game.

After a tremendous career in the Major Leagues, Manny has taken his talents to China, and apparently, those talents don't include sliding.

Check out the video below of Manny's "slide" on a force play at second base that ended a little prematurely.

Katherine Webb and trivia are not a good match

By: Haboob Blog
Alabama quarterback A.J. McCarron's girlfriend, Katherine Webb, has made quite a name for herself since appearing throughout the 2013 BCS National Championship broadcast.

The beautiful brunette starred on ABC's reality TV show Splash, reported from Super Bowl Media Day and made an appearance in Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit edition.

And now we can add game show contestant to her long-winded resume, then again maybe not.

On Jay Leno's fictitious game show "Battle of the Celeb All-Stars: Reality Show Edition," Webb along with Kendra Wilkinson and Alexis Bellino were asked a series of questions on topics ranging from the three branches of government to Napolean to Gulliver's Travels.

Needless to say none of three women showed off much of an acumen for trivia.

Take a look:

Worst first pitch ever? Probably

By: Haboob Blog
We've all seen a ceremonial first pitch at a baseball game.

Usually thrown by a celebrity or someone affiliated with the home team in some way, every now and then a regular Joe Schmoe gets the chance to step on the mound and fire one to the plate.

However, it's not always a good pitch.

High, low, a little wide -- pitches of all kinds have been thrown.

But we're pretty sure nothing like this has been thrown or, at least, recorded for us all to see.

This one was before the Stetson Hatters played the Florida State Seminoles May 7 and, well, see for yourself.

Yankees retired numbers said with great cuteness

By: Haboob Blog
Seventeen different players have had their numbers retired by the New York Yankees.

You could probably name a few of them, and we would all be impressed. However, we would not go "awwwwwww" like we do for the video below.

Young CC is quizzed on the subject, and passes the test with great enthusiasm and cuteness.

Florida lawyer really wants Jaguars to sign Tim Tebow

By: Haboob Blog
Tim Tebow is a free agent after being cut by the New York Jets last month.

Tebow played his high school football at Nease in Ponte Vedra, a suburb of Jacksonville.

Jacksonville has an NFL team (although that's arguable) that has had quarterback issues.

See the connection? Many in the Jacksonville area want the woeful Jaguars to sign Tebow, but maybe nobody more than John Morgan.

Morgan is a lawyer, part of Morgan & Morgan, a personal injury law firm in Florida. Morgan has purchased air time on local radio to get his message to Jags owner Shahid Khan.

Khan has gone on record and said that he's fascinated by the public support for Tebow, but that the Jaguars are "looking for the best players" that can help them win.

I guess now we'll see if Khan has any fascination with Tebow...or at least if he's swayed by radio advertising.

On the flip side, there's a website in existence called Evenifhesreleased.com, where Jaguars fans can voice the sentiment that the team doesn't need Tebow's services.

As of Thursday morning, the site had over 85,000 votes from real Jaguars fans who don't want the former Heisman winner -- although we doubt there are 85,000 real Jags fans on the planet.

Professional golfer hits 500-yard drive

By: Haboob Blog
You know that scene in the movie "Tin Cup," where Roy McAvoy (Kevin Costner) challenges David Simms (Don Johnson) to see who could hit the ball farther with a 7-iron.

McAvoy, of course, was a bigger hitter. However, Simms was smarter. He hit his ball onto the road, where it went bouncing and bouncing until he was declared victorious.

In case you are interested, the clip can be viewed here.

Why do we bring this up?

Well, professional golfer Louis Oosthuizen had a similar experience -- albeit accidentally -- during the second round of the Ballantine's Championship in Korea a couple weekends ago.

The ball hit a cart path and kept going, and going, and going, and going, and going, and...well, you get the idea.

Mr. Fitz goes to Washington

By: Haboob Blog
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald is hard to catch on the football field -- and hard to keep up with off of it.

Fitzgerald continued his constant offseason worldwide travel by visiting Washington D.C., where he hung out with Arizona Senator John McCain.

Fitzgerald also met with Arizona Senator Jeff Flake.

Fitzgerald was in D.C. with EAS Sports Nutrition to speak on Capitol Hill in support of safe sports nutrition.

Are there political aspirations in Fitz's future? We'll see after his playing days are over. But, congressman Fitzgerald does have a nice ring to it.

Ex-Lions WR Titus Young arrested twice in 15 hours

By: Haboob Blog
Did you have a bad day?

Well, odds are it pales in comparison to the one ex-Detroit Lions wide receiver Titus Young had last Sunday.

In a 15-hour span, the former second-round pick was arrested not once but TWICE.

According to the Oakland Press, after making an illegal turn in front of a police car just after midnight Sunday, Young was cited in Moreno Valley, California for suspicion of driving under the influence.

But that was just the beginning of his nightmarish day.


He was booked at the Robert Presley Detention Center and later issued a citation and released from custody.

Hours later, at 2:22 p.m. that day, officers responded to a tow company yard where a man was seen jumping over the fence.

It was Young looking for his black Mustang.

He was arrested for burglary after the police determined he was trying to take his own vehicle. He was booked again at the same detention center.

If you're counting at home, Young has almost as many arrests (2) as he does touchdowns (4) in the last year.
