NBA Jersey's are like a vintage wine. The more rare the better. Here are some of the gems that I found at Lollapalooza 2011.

Possibly the two worst free throws that I've ever seen.

Nothing like an air ball dunk.

I just spent three fantastic days at Lollapalooza. The first day was my favorite so I decided to capture it and give you a glimpse of what I saw. The bands included The Naked and Famous, Foster the People, Two Door Cinema Club, Afrojack and Girl Talk. It was more awesome than a bacon wrapped BLT.

I was flipping through the channels last night when I started to watch a show called Man vs. Food. They were in some deli in Wisconsin talking about how awesome a sandwich was when I notice in the background something that was about as rare as seeing Big Foot...someone wearing a Pirates jersey. I'm not talking about some $4.99 t-shirt jersey of Jay Bell that he bought from JC Penny's on clearance, it looks like it is an embroidered "no player just the team" jersey that cost at least $50. I don't know when this show was taped but I can't imagine that it was within the last month when the Bucos were actually in first place. That means that this random guy in a Wisconsin deli may have actually been a real Pirates fan and despite 18 straight losing seasons he was willing to rep the Bucos like they are the Steelers. Kudos to you my friend!

Euchre term of the Day

Buried Sanders: when both Jacks are buried in the deck. The origins of this stem from the state of Michigan's love for Euchre as well as Barry Sanders.

Video of Kevin Durant going off for 66 points at NYC’s legendary Rucker Park on Monday night.

The New York Post has a recap and a couple more videos, and Quickish has even more more vids from the night.

Topps missed on this "Future Star" by just a little bit. Jose "Chico" Lind was a .254 hitter who had 9 career home runs in 9 seasons. That takes "light hitting" to a whole new level. To put that into perspective, in 98' Sammy Sosa hit 20 home runs in a month. He did win one Gold Glove, in 89' was third in the NL in outs made, and in 91' was 1st in the NL in fielding percentage. Similar players were Jose Oquendo and Skeeter Newsome. Despite barely being able to hit the ball out of the infield Chico was and always will be one of my favorite players ever.

Why the Most Interesting Man in the World Sucks

Unless you live under a rock you know the Dos Equis "Most Interesting Man in the World" commercials. Essentially they talk about how awesome this guy is. Well guess what, he is anything but. Here's why:

He claims to bowl overhand. Great, so you are saying that he sucks at bowling. Show me anyone that you know that successfully bowls overhand and I'll give you a million dollars. If it was a good way of bowling then it would just be "the way". 

Both sides of his pillow are cool. Not impressed at all. You can buy that pillow on Amazon. 

If he were to punch you in the face, you'd have to fight off the urge to thank him. No way. Does he really think that he's that much better than us that we'll just let him get away with punching us in the face? I think not. It would probably go more like this.  

He can speak French, in Russian. Congrats on being able to speak something that is about as worthless as speaking Latin. 

His mother has a tattoo that reads "son". It's good to know that he has the same Mom as Delonte West. 

He is the life of parties he has never intended. I'm not surprised by this at all. He's such a joker that you could make fun of him for hours.

Frank Drebin would be proud of this strike three call.
