This spiderman shit comes out of the Japanese league with the Hiroshima Carp’s Masato Akamatsu making probably the most athletic play I’ve ever seen on a baseball field. This shit is one motion, no time to look the wall down at all, makes the catch like its fucking nothing. Finally cracks a smile after like 10 seconds or something, thats g as fuck. Foreign sports calls are so funny, extra bonus to the catch

Thierry Henry Is Now A Red Bull Billboard
Posted in Soccer, Sports on July 19, 2010 by SwedLifeSeth
Real soccer fans might be used to players running around with logos all over them, but this seems a bit extreme. Henry is going from a has been who didn’t start for his club team or a French team that embarrassed the whole country to being the face of the MLS, or at least Red Bull. I dont know if this would bother me as much if Red Bull sponsored the team instead of owning it, but they will definitely be staking some chips after this move
LeBron Decision Day
Posted in NBA, Sports on July 8, 2010 by SwedLifeSeth
The LeBron James free agency soap opera ends tonight on ESPN with an hour long special leading up to the King’s ruling. LeBron will announce his decision from the Boys and Girls Club in Greenwich, CT, which is probably a bad sign for Cavs fans. I originally had LeBron staying, but it seems that the Cavs did not do enough to prove to him they were dedicated to winning. This whole ESPN thing would be a lot of song and dance to not make a move, so I think he will end up in Miami, since they have made the moves to give him a better chance to win. Chicago could still be a good fit, but LeBron will probably favor his Team USA teammates over Rose, Boozer, and Noah. We’ll see tonight
SwedLife NBA Free Agency Prediction
Posted in NBA, Sports on July 1, 2010 by SwedLifeSeth
So we have not covered much in sports recently because shit has not been going my way and I dont have much to say about it, but this is a freak free agency and I’m making some prediction.
1) LeBron – clearly the first move in the class, I think he cares to much about his legacy to bail on Cleveland this early. The greats all built their empires, not jumped to super teams with DWade and Bosh. I think he only signs for 3, even though that will cost him money. If he doesnt have a ring by then he’s definitely gone, but Cleveland has a lot of work to do quick if they want to keep him. Byron Scott as a coach is a good start. If Chris Paul is actually on the trading block he would be a great compliment
2) D Wade / Boozer - already owns his city, if they make a big enough move he wont leave. I think they end up getting boozer after bosh land elsewhere
3) Bosh – Bulls, but he could go to the knicks even though they suck. I think he is really good fit in chicago playing pf with noah playing center. Noah is an animal but not a great scorer, would definitely allow Bosh to focus on scoring for both of them
4) Joe Johnson – I think he goes with bosh to chicago, which would be a great team. Also could land in new york / new jersey
5) Melo – Anthony isn’t a free agent until next year but Denver could definitely trade him to a team that loses out on this years crop, I could definitely see the Knicks being an option. Melo would benefit in endorsements much more than LeBron or Wade from being in New York, those dudes are marketable anywhere
6) Pierce – face of the Celtics for his entire career, would really tarnish his legacy by leaving. 0% chance in my mind, especially with doc back
7) Amare – Knicks, also would benefit from the market like Melo, if chicago doesnt get Bosh Amare could land there
8) Dirk – similar to pierce, cant imagine him leaving, maybe the clippers when they get no one else

BENGALS SIGN PACMAN JONES!
Posted in Bengals, Sports on May 6, 2010 by SwedLifeSeth
The Pacman is back, and where else but Cincy. I dont know if he is still trying to go by Adam, but his Bengals jersey should just say “MOTHERFUCKIN PACMAN” on the back. Guaranteed he will fit in great with Cedric Benson, Tank Johnson, and pretty much everyone else on the team except Palmer. Pacman got a two year deal so he should have plenty of time to make headlines from strip clubs, assuming hes still in playing conditions and makes the team

Mike Tyson’s New Pigeon Racing Show On Animal Planet
Posted in Sports on March 16, 2010 by SwedLifeSeth
From ESPN:
“NEW YORK — Former world heavyweight champ Mike Tyson will take flight on Animal Planet with a new sport — pigeon racing.
The network this week announced a new reality show that will pit Tyson, a novice pigeon racer, against serious competitors.
The show is currently titled “Taking on Tyson” and promises to bring audiences inside this “intensely competitive and bizarrely fascinating world.”
Tyson has raised pigeons all his life but will take to the rooftops as a racing rookie. The network says he’ll be assisted by a colorful team of pigeon experts as he rears, trains and races them.
The show is scheduled to be taped this spring in New York City and air early next year.”
So Mike Tyson has official gone off the deep end, or has just found a new way to scam money since his days painting houses in Vegas for blow money. When Iron Mike was heavyweight champion of the world he wrestled with a tiger, now he races pigeons.

Pacquiao vs Mayweather Megafight Falling Apart
Posted in Sports on December 25, 2009 by SwedLifeSeth
According to ESPN the fight is in serious jeopardy because of the disagreement over drug testing. The fight between the two biggest names in the sport is scheduled for March 13th in Vegas and Mayweather’s camp wants Olympic-style testing that would require blood samples in the weeks leading up to the fight. Pacman says he is superstitious or some shit and will do blood tests weeks before and immediately after, but not right before. This disagreement has led to a full pissing match between the camps, with Mayweather’s dad accusing Pacquiao of using PEDs and Pacman saying he’s going to sue Mayweather and everyone he’s ever known for defamation. Personally, I think Mayweather is looking for a way of what I think would be his first loss. Both are claiming to already have other fights lined up, but this is exactly what sucks about boxing. Can you imagine Bama and Texas playing TCU and Boise because of a disagreement over drug testing? I didn’t think so, because even the BCS is better than the bullshit in boxing.
