Today's Links--Super Bowl Edition

• The Super Bowl was great. There have been some good games in the last 10 years, and Kurt Warner and Ben Roethlisberger have both been a part of half of them. Steelers win by the way, if you missed it.
  
• Northwestern wins a wild one over Wisconsin, and Penn State beats Michigan State in East Lansing. I love the Big Ten in conference play. (Thanks to Gavin for emailing me this link with the message "Wildcat fever...Catch it!!!")
  
• I am being completely serious when I say the Bulls just had their first 3-game winning streak this year and it came on the road. I wouldn't believe me either the way they've played recently. Do you think it had to do with Reinsdorf's bitching?
  
• How is Richard Dent not in the Hall of Fame. He was the best defensive lineman on the best defense in NFL history. This may be as big a rip off as Santo not being in the Hall.
• A sweet picture of MJ escaping Chicago in his Ferrari Testarosa sometime in the 1990s.
  
• The funeral for Eddy Curry's baby mamma and their kids was held this weekend. Apparently at some point Eddy asked the Knicks for an $8 million dollar advance on his paycheck. This guy has some problems.
  
• A Chicago Olympic update.
• Apparently Pujols wants Manny to come to the Cardinals. Seems pretty unlikely.

• Just when you think things can't get any worse for Eddy Curry, the mother of one of his children gets murdered. Even after everything that has gone on with him, my sympathies go out to him.
• The Bulls suck.
  
• Joe Torre's new tell-all book about the Yankees is very interesting. Some highlights include ripping on A-Rod and Steinbrenner being the evil emperor you thought he was. Big surprise.
• Derrick Rose is thinking about rejecting an invitation to take part in the skills challenge at all-star weekend. First Tyrus disses his invite to be in the dunk contest, now this? What is it with Bulls rookies?
• The East beat the West in the NHL All-Star game, but apparently Toews and Kane looked good.
  
• Illinois gets a big win at home against the Badgers. If only Indiana could have pulled out the win against Minnesota, the Illini could have moved up in the Big Ten standings. That's right, I'm cheering for IU since they are so bad I'm not worried if they get a win here or there.
  
• Michael Redd's knee goes "CRACK" and so goes the Bucks season. Good luck getting to the playoffs with the rest of that bunch Coach Skiles.
• Even Sox fans are acknowledging the Ricketts family may be good for the Cubs.
  

I'm Not Saying Eddy Curry Gets Hot Chicks, I'm Just Saying He Can Do Better Than A Chauffeur

Eddy Curry is a fat, stupid slob, but this story is a little over the top. The New York Post (I know, I know, the Post is basically a tabloid, but you can't miss this, trust me) is reporting that Eddy Curry is being charged with sexually harassing a chauffeur. Yeah you heard me. You have to read it to believe it:

The stunning court papers claim Curry, a married father of three, repeatedly approached chauffeur David Kuchinsky "in the nude," allegedly telling him, "Look at me, Dave, look" and "Come and touch it, Dave."

Curry also made Kuchinsky perform "humiliating tasks outside the scope of his employment, such as cleaning up and removing dirty towels [Curry had ejaculated into] so that his wife would not see them," the Manhattan federal court suit says.

Kuchinsky, who is straight and Jewish, also alleges racial discrimination, saying that Curry hurled slurs at him including "f---ing Jew," "cracker," "white slave," "white devil" and "grandmaster of the KKK."

First of all, this is most likely not true. For as fat and useless as Eddy is, he's never made any indication that he is mean-spirited, racist, or just a dick in general. Liking buttery popcorn and not trying on the court is a far cry from what this accusation is saying.

Whether it is true or not, couldn't Fat Eddy do a little better than some little white Jew? I mean he is a multi-millionaire. I don't know if there are gay groupies, but I would have to think there are. And why is he jerking off into towels in his car? Seriously? I jerk off on my couch when my girlfriend isn't home, but Eddy Fucking Curry has to hide in his car when he does it? More on this story as it develops...

Eddy Curry Discovers Cure For Mysterious DNP-CD Illness: Grande Nachos and a Large Icee

Our favorite fat lazy underachiever Eddy Curry is at it again. If you remember the last time we checked in with him, he was so fat that he was accidentally popping exercise balls. Well since then Mike D'Antoni and the Knicks braintrust have decided that he will not play at all, since he is out of shape and does not fit D'Antoni's system apparently. We all know the reason he's not playing is because he doesn't try, run, practice hard, think or try. Anyways, this retard is up to no good again, as BDL reader D.E.F. caught him grabbing a quick movie only hours before game time:



Now I know that picture could be anyone, but BDL is a pretty reliable source. Either way its a believable story. Apparently this was around 5PM and the Knicks played a game that night. Oh and that Icee and Nachos? Those are a part of Curry's special heart-healthy rehab plan. What a fat useless slob.

I Want A Stupid-Looking Tattoo In a Very Visible Place

In the tradition of Eddy Curry, Mike Tyson, Stephon Marbury, and countless other athletes, Gilbert Arenas has decided to get a ridiculous tattoo. The funniest thing about this Obama tattoo is how fickle he was in his support of democracy in general, let alone a presidential candidate:

Arenas shortened Obama's campaign slogan, "Change We Can Believe In," choosing not to add ink to his thumb. Arenas has "change" written on the outside of his index finger; "we" on the inside of his middle finger; "believe" on the inside of his ring finger; and "in" on the inside of his pinky and "44" on the outside of his pinky. In case you didn't already know, Obama will be the 44th POTUS.

Arenas said he went down to Miami to have his favorite tattoo artist stitch him up after the Wizards arrived in Orlando late Friday night. He didn't explain how he got there -- Miami is an hour flight or three-hour drive from Orlando -- and I was too shocked by the tattoo to ask a follow-up question. All that I could say was, "You've got a lot of free time, don't you?"

For a player who said he wasn't even going to vote just three weeks ago, Arenas changed his apolitical stance quickly -- and dramatically. Arenas said on Saturday that his previous comments about not voting because he was afraid of having higher taxes were "a joke that nobody got." He added that he always planned on voting for Obama but was waiting to find the right reasons.

Read the rest of that article if you want to hear about the mural he painted of Obama's family on an entire wall of his house . Anyways, in honor of this stupid tattoo, here's a little recap of my favorite retarded tattoos:


Vince Young: How dumb is this guy? Remember when he went on 60 minutes and talked about his new tattoo? Yeah it's his name on his back. In case he forgets maybe? We all know this suicidal weirdo didn't score too well on that Wonderlic test.


Eddy Curry: Tattooed "Misunderstood" on the base of his neck. I hate this guy. And on your neck? Seriously? Neck and face tattoos are the worst.


Mike Tyson: He had an upcoming fight with some other boxer and he decided he "didn't like the way his face looked". So he got this swirling crazy tattoo, assuring his "fans" that it wasn't even halfway done. I'm not sure if he finished it, but I don't care. How great is it not having to hear about this guy anymore? Please stay out of the headlines.


Stephon Marbury: Yup, that little star tattoo on his head is an advertisement for his shoes, the Starburys. I wonder how much it would cost to advertise something on the other side of his head?

Eddy Curry's Got A Murder Rap

Just kidding, he didn't murder anyone. He did horribly embarass himself though, which isn't anything new. In honor of last week's Tyson Chandler story, it only seemed fair to honor the shittier, less likeable partner of the Baby Bulls Twin Towers Redevelopment Project:

"Poor Eddy Curry. He sat on the giant blue physio-ball during a break from Monday’s practice and the ball exploded. Eddy fell and scraped and his wrist but should be okay. The ball, which is used for stretching exercises, was pronounced dead at the scene.
And it gets worse for Eddy. Barring injury or the best two weeks of practice of his life, Curry will not be a starter on opening night. Instead, Mike D’Antoni’s starting five appear to be set: Chris Duhon, Jamal Crawford, Quentin Richardson, David Lee and Zach Randolph."

Whoa whoa whoa. Duhon is the starting PG? Good luck running that up-tempo offense D'Antoni. Duhon's ability to shoot poorly, not find the open man and be too short to guard anyone is going to be key to igniting the Knicks this year. Oh yeah, and Eddy Curry is fat and lazy.

Eddy Curry is a 385 Pound Gymnast

According to Ball Don't Lie, the wikipedia page for Eddy Curry says that:

Prior to becoming considered one of the best high school basketball players
in the nation as a senior at Thornwood High School in South Holland, Illinois,
Curry aspired to be a gymnast and did not pick up basketball until the seventh
grade when he reluctantly went out for the school team. According to his father,
Eddy Curry Sr., 'For a long time, Eddy hated basketball. Being a gymnast was his
backyard dream, I guess.


Weight: 385 lb

Ok well obviously this is going to get taken down and changed, since wikipedia gets screwed with all the time, but there are some clear truths here:

1) Eddy Curry hates basketball. This fact did not change over the years, as evidenced by his effortless (literally without exerting effort) play for the Bulls and Knicks.

2) He was definitely one of the best high school players in the country as a senior. This was surely based on talent and not size or effort. I know this because I personally watched him score 8 points and foul out at the Proviso East tournament that year. Against high school kids. At 6'11", 385 (maybe he wasn't that fat yet).

3) Eddy Curry weighs 385 pounds. This fact should not get changed. Even if he does weigh less, his feet seem so heavy they might as well weigh a couple 100 each.

Eddy Curry Sucks.
