Man U has signed street football legend, 20 year-old Tiago Manuel Dias Correia, nick named Bebe, from Portugal. The dude is a former Homeless World Cup Star, and was given a 7 million pound deal. 20 years old, once homeless, now filthy rich; and I blog because?

“He was raised on the streets and that’s where he learned to play his football. All the players come through youth academies now and they’re all the same. Bebe is nothing like that. He’s an old-fashioned player. He learned everything that he knows on the street. He possesses a natural creativity and that could really make a difference.”
– Jorge Paixo, Bebe’s former coach.

The Nets are similar to.. well, nothing else. The team has a penchant to build you up with hope, but when the time comes they fall shorter than Tom Cruise, which is really short. Thankfully, there is a second wind in New Jersey Nets history as they have officially started their move to Brooklyn, New York and applied for their name change. Sports blogs are buzzing about the possibilities, we just hope they win.

UCF is upset because their coach okay-ed a photo shoot in their locker room that is a little too sexy for a sport where men wear tights and slap-ass. The story isn’t important and is totally just an excuse to post this video.

To actually read the story and learn something go to Deadspin.

Well, at least American baseball is fatter? Well, if he keeps making catches like this, he’ll actually play in the league that matters makes money.

This fits seeing as most NFL stars are dick heads. The man pictured is Jaguars rookie, Kevin Haslam, while the ‘art work’ is by Uche Nwaneri. Remember, always use protection.

What’s better than one sport? When two are blended seamlessly. This is possibly the greatest celebration of all time. Thankfully, it didn’t come from Ocho-Dumbo or T.NO.

This is like a 13457 pointer. While this takes skill, I would honestly be surprised if this guy could score one basket in a pickup game; everyone had this kid in high school.

To make a long story short: LeBron got super twisted in Las Vegas, to the point where he was asking if strippers would fly naked on tight ropes, and playing basketball against no one in hotel and casino lobbies. Unfortunately for him, the skinny guy following his crew wasn’t a club owner, but an ESPN reporter who caught it all. Of course, after a few hours online the story got pulled for bullshit reasons, something about the writer not identifying himself as a reporter…but of course we have it for you to read in full here.

Manchester United went toe-to-toe with the MLS all star team, and won – to say the least, check the highlight above to see what the game was like. It’s interesting that a competition team, albeit one with a 5 trillion dollar budget, can essentially take down an entire league. Oh well, America still is the best country in the world… right?

Call it sexist if you want, but Cheering isn’t running, balling, or skating, thus not a sport. Therefore, don’t look for it at any Olympic competitions soon. As to why not? (As if it wasn’t self-explanatory.) Check the judge:

Cheerleading certainly requires more athletic skill than bowling or lawn darts or sports writing, but that wasn’t enough to persuade Judge Stefan Underhill…I don’t think Underhill’s ruling went far enough. He said cheerleading is too “underdeveloped and disorganized to be treated as offering genuine varsity athletic competition.” I’ll do a fully extended double hitch with a sweep dismount to that.
