Athletes Should Stop Texting (Tony Parker, Eva Longoria)

Athletes really need to cut it out with the naughty text messaging. Recently, Minnesota Viking’s Brett Favre was accused of sending SMS messages of his schlong to a woman. Now Eva Longoria has filed for divorce from San Antonio Spurs’ Tony Parker over sexually explicit text messages to and from Erin Barry (soon to be ex-wife of ex-teammate Brent Barry).

This sounds like a bad network drama. Longoria is hot and Parker is…well, French. He’s (allegedly) cheating on her with his ex-teammates wife?!? That’s crazy (Brian Fellow)!!! My favorite part of this situation is that Saved by the Bell’s Mario Lopez was the one that spilled the beans (he’s pals with Longoria). The affair isn’t as crazy as Justin Timberlake (allegedly) sleeping with Olivia Munn behind Jessica Biel’s back, but it’s pretty nuts.

I’m waiting for a general manager to prohibit his or her players from texting and tweeting. Some of them need to be saved from themselves.

The Situation + Bristol Pailin = Hilarity

This safe sex commercial featuring Mike “The Situation” Sorrentino (Jersey Shore) and Bristol Pailin is one of the funniest things I’ve seen all year. The Situation says a form of “situation” 18 times as he promotes safe sex. Meanwhile, Bristol Pailin promotes abstinence. The spot is funny on so many (mostly unintentional) levels. Check it out and share your thoughts (please)!

  47. Bob Backlund
  48. Rick Rude
  49. Batista
  50. Killer Kowalski

As much as I love Shawn Michaels’ work, in my mind Ric Flair is the greatest of all time, with HBK just behind him. Kurt Angle and Chris Jericho are ranked lower than they ought to be; I’d certainly put both of them ahead of Edge. Cena and Mysterio are way too high. Batista absolutely does not belong on this list. I’d drop Jeff Hardy too.

Obviously some of the list is based on WWE politics, but it’s mostly solid. What do you think of it? Are there any wrestlers missing from the list? Anyone on it that you think is unworthy? I’m super looking forward to discussing this with y’all!

Upcoming Clone Wars Reveal Secrets of Sith and Darth Maul

Future episodes of Star Wars: The Clone Wars will reveal a new villain that reveals major secrets of the sith and Darth Maul. The baddie, Savage Opress, will be revealed in 2010 at special screenings that you can attend. Here’s more info from StarWars.com:

For the first time ever, Sith training will be explored – and with it, truths about the very nature of the dark side itself!

A warrior forged by a dark sorcery as mystical and powerful as the Force, Opress will uncover shocking revelations about the galaxy’s tenuous balance of power, including secrets about one of the Sith’s most infamous villains — Episode I’s Darth Maul! From his origins to his fate, Maul’s mysteries will at long last be uncovered…

I haven’t been watching The Clone Wars, but several friends tell me that it’s really good. I also liked Darth Maul in Episode I, but a lot of that had to do with him being a mysterious character that didn’t say or reveal much (you know, the Boba Fett ploy). I’m intersted and a little afraid to learn about his origins. That said, I’ll definitely be tuning in to see if his background is any good.

How about you? Are you interested in learning more about Darth Maul, the sith, and Savage Opress?
