Jesus would be the number one seed. Title reads; "Number One Seeded Jesus Loses Shocker to Lizard."



GERALD HENDERSON SAVES A MAN'S LIFE.

If you can ever watch a basketball game while sitting beside a bipolar, suicidal man who has his life savings wagered on it, I highly recommend it.

THE HUMAN LCD!

Well, this is ridiculous. If you haven't seen this video apparently it's South Korean boys rooting on their soccer team. But, it's what they do with their clothes which makes it something. They have jackets with one color on the front and one color on the back. Then, they unzip their jackets to use their shirt as a third color. Some schools even use their pants to create shading. Ridiculous.

NIT STILL HAS 10 OPEN SLOTS IF ANYONE WANTS TO PLAY.

The Onion reports. "In order to participate in the NIT, all you have to do is show up with five guys, some basketball sneakers, and a good attitude." READ IT.

MANNY SAYS 600.


Manny says he's going for 600 yoga moveshome runs in his career. This is according to Extra Bases from The Boston Globe. Amalie Benjamin had a chance to make sexy time talk to him before a game this spring:

Yes, yes, I know I've been promising. So, for all of you insomniacs out there, here are a few of the notable sayings from Manny Ramirez.

It's actually really interesting. He's significantly more approachable this spring. It all started back in the playoffs last season, but it's continued through the spring. It's great for us. We can bring you another perspective from the clubhouse, and it's much easier to write about Ramirez when he comments.

I just walked over to him before the game, and he agreed to speak with me one-on-one. He later spoke with a larger group of Boston media when I had finished talking to him. His locker was on the end of the row, putting him somewhat out in the open in the extremely cramped clubhouse at the Tokyo Dome. And all his teammates took a slight interest in the fact that he was speaking -- Mike Lowell laughed, saying that Ramirez only talks in the playoffs or Japan.

Something like that.

But Ramirez did say that he's shooting for 600 home runs -- at least. First, though, comes 500, which is just 10 homers away at this point.

"[It's] just another milestone that I'm going to accomplish," Ramirez said, of reaching 500 home runs. "But my train doesn't stop there. Six hundred. I want to play because I love the game. If I play six more years, why not? I'm pretty sure I'm going to reach it.

"If my body feels good, I'm going to keep playing. Why stop? You love the game, why you've got to stop? Age is just a number."

As he has repeated this spring, Ramirez is not just hoping but expecting the Red Sox to pick up both options on his contract, each for a year at $20 million.

"They're not stupid," Ramirez said, of the Red Sox. "They know. They know I can play and I'm ready. That's it. I'm going to get the two options, then I'm going to get a four-year deal. I'm just going to go and get it."

LOCAL TUNA 'S CRUISE ACROSS AMERICA!


I finally put up the money to get the proper wheels for the LT! staff. I can't wait.

GOD HATES THE YANKEES.


The Yankees are pretty much mush-fucked for the mush-month of April, and it's all God's fault. I guess God's secondhand man is coming to town and taking over Yankee stadium. Here's the scoop:

A quick glance of the Yankees' schedule in April reveals a pretty strange stretch: they're on the road for almost three straight weeks from the 8th through the 28th, with a random two-game home stand jammed in the middle against the Red Sox on the 16th and 17th. That makes for an awful lot of traveling and some angry Yankees. But why is the schedule so funny?

Turns out Pope Benedict XVI is coming to Yankee Stadium to say a mass on April 20th, which required that weekend's series with the Orioles to be flipped from New York to Baltimore. Since schedules are apparently incredibly delicate things, MLB didn't flip any other series to accommodate the Yanks. The result is a schedule that requires them to be in Tampa on the 15th, New York in the 16th, and Baltimore on the 18th. That's a bad week.

So the pope is going to be here on 4/20? Insert joke about a higher meaning here.

WHITE GUYS IN THE NBA.


This about sums it all up.
