So we haven’t been watching much summer league basketball, if just because the only local games on around these parts are the Knicks, and honestly, if we wanted to watch a snuff film, we’d just go see the new M. Night Shyamalan movie.
Therefore, we were taken aback when we saw the above clip — highlights of a Celtics-Raptors game — and heard the public address announcer. We can’t imagine actually going to these games and surviving without our ears bleeding. And also: Who’s he trying to impress? Is it possible not to sound ridiculous while screaming, “RYAN … GOMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!?” That guy’s mike definitely goes to 11.

If you haven’t checked out the new SLAM site, you should, also. RSS feeds and redesigns abound.
Sorry about the bandwidth issues - we were gone most all of yesterday, and the situation didn’t get taken care of until late this morning, obviously.
That said, bandwidth is one of the matters on the list of “things to think about” with the coming of Who Shot Mamba?. We’re shopping around, ’cause we’re gonna be using a lot of it.
If you happen to own a server co and want to talk, shoot us an email here. We may be able to offer you a thing or two, but not a free t-shirt, so don’t ask.
Although it is only a 3-on-3 basketball title, Square Enix has gone ahead and added five characters from the Final Fantasy world into their new DS game, Mario Hoops. The additional characters are (clockwise from top left) Moogle, White Mage, Ninja, Black Mage, and a cactuar named Sabotender (”Sabotaged bartender?”).
The title will come out later this year in the US. Kupo!

The recent surge in baseball stadiums encouraging fans to send text messages to show on the scoreboard is an encouraging one; we’ve heard rumors of a “You’re With Me, Leather” at Busch Stadium, though no screenshot exists yet, and we haven’t hit the zenith of a “Get Away From Me, Carl Monday” at Jacobs Field so far.
So, for now, we simply salute this minor sighting of “I’m The Hoff” at Miller Park in Milwaukee. We love this practice. We can all do better, yes?
A Web site we hadn’t heard of before called Don’t Date Him, Girl purports to list the names and descriptions of guys that girls should, you know, not date, girl. Web sites like this make us nervous, so after we searched for our own name and the names of almost all our friends, we were pointed to this rundown of Cowboys offensive lineman Flozell Adams.
Plays for the Dallas Cowboys and is from the Chicago area. He will come into your life with an innocent demeanor when, in fact, he’s satan himself in the flesh! He’ll swear that, regardless of his career, he’s not “like that” and that you’re the only woman that he’s involved with both emotionally and sexually. I was merely one of the many or what I like to label myself as now is “the one in my city” that obviously got the most attention at the moment.
We’ll be honest: The circumstances presumably surrounding that photo terrify us. We feel bad for Adams, having been singled out here. Shouldn’t there just be a section of the site called “Athletes,” with the listing “All Of Them?” Kurt Warner and Kordell Stewart excepted, of course.
Geez, there’s something about this
