Stop kissing Josh Hamilton’s ass. He doesn’t deserve all the praise and he certainly doesn’t deserve to be called a hero or a role model or a good influence. He was a complete f**k up, but because he’s can still play baseball better than almost anyone else alive we should praise him? No.

Yes, he was addicted to cocaine and crack for years. Yes, the fact that he seems to have made a full recovery is impressive (overcoming any addiction that overwhelms a person like that is impressive), but he’s not a great guy because of it. He should be working his way back to being an OK guy. Half a season of good baseball doesn’t clear him of all the bad sh*t he did before. (more…)

10 Reasons MMA Can’t Be Beat

My favorite sport can kick your favorite sport’s ass…literally. MMA has been exploding over the past couple of years—merchandise, reality shows, pay-per-views—and in my opinion it’s the best sport on Earth.

Here are some reasons why…

The Ass-entials of Beach Volleyball

With the 2008 Summer Olympics quickly approaching, make sure you check out one the most fantastic spectator sports around: women’s beach volleyball.

Sure, the sport is just a lot of back and forth, but it’s awesome to watch. What’s better than pairs of sun-kissed cuties showing their skills in the sand–and showing off some awesome athlete ass?

Nothing!

Miley Cyrus Wet T-Shirt Pics Leaked

Miley Cyrus has gotten herself into trouble again, as a hacker took control of her email account and posted pictures intended for Nick Jonas’ eye only… we think.

As we’ve seen with past “leaked” mobile pics and her infamous Vanity Fair photo shoot, Miley (and her father Billy Ray) have become pros at spinning controversy into publicity.

919 Is The New Perfect 10

The days of rating babes like Marisa Miller and Megan Fox a “10″ are over!

The Area Code System is much more complex and accurate because we know not all 7’s, 8’s and 9’s are created equal.

Check out how the code works and now when a member of the opposite sex walks by you can discreetly convey her hottness and whether or not you’d “do” her with this hyper accurate three digit code.

The Complete Megan Fox Web Gallery Index

We all know Megan Fox is hot–hell, she’s the hottest chick we’ve ever laid eyes on.

So instead of making you search the Internet endlessly for pictures of this badass brunette beauty, we’ve compiled the Complete Megan Fox Web-Gallery Index, which includes every single Megan Fox photo gallery on the Internet (excluding duplicates).

This Better Not Be My Nanna

Flickr is a crazy little website. Pictures from all over the world, from crappy and boring “here’s me on the lawn, now here’s me laughing on the lawn” photos to beautiful, artist renderings of pristine landscapes — everything is contained, and easy to find, on this user friendly website.

Why, Flickr is so simple and easy even your grandma could do it!  And someone’s grandma certainly has.

Rottentomatoes.com is Full of Lies…Sort Of

Rottentomatoes.com is a marvelous website, but I recently found out that it may be lying to all of us.

If you don’t know what this website does, I’ll give you a brief overview: It reports on movies that are currently playing in theaters around the U.S. by providing links to pictures, videos and plot summaries. What they don’t provide is a proper overview of their “freshness” methodology.

Facebook Redesign Coming Soon – Pics!

It was recently announced on developers.Facebook.com that Facebook will be going through a major overhaul.

The redesign is in Beta mode and some of the kinks aren’t fully worked out but you can be sure changes are coming shortly.

Check out the pictures…

Cheerleader Showdown V

Welcome to our fifth installment of Cheerleader Showdown!

If you search “cheerleading” on COED you will see more than a few posts that prove there are some incredibly sexy cheerleaders out there—but now it’s time again for the public to decide what school has the hottest.

Josh Hamilton just put on a show at Yankee Stadium setting a Home Run Derby record with 28 bombs in the first round.

Hamilton’s compelling journey is the type of story from which Hollywood movies are made and it’s chronicled in our COED Vault story Josh Hamilton’s Journey From Crack Addict to Triple Crown Threat, a must read for any sports fan.

If CNBC can project presidential primary winners with only 3-percent of the vote totals in, then we can also take advantage of mathematical impossibility. Thanks to the updated vote tallies released, we can announce the position players who will appear in the 2008 MLB All-Star game taking place at Yankee Stadium on July 15th.

Check back tomorrow for the NL All-Star lineup. (more…)

In 1999 John Hamilton was the first pick of the Major League Baseball draft. The “Golden Boy” as he was dubbed, was a “5-Tool” power hitting outfielder with a rocket arm that consistently registered 96 MPH on the radar gun. The Tampa Bay Devil Rays drafted Hamilton 1st that year and gave the promising high school senior a 3.96 million dollar signing bonus.

Flash forward to 2005. Hamilton has been out of baseball for 3 years and hit rock bottom. He acquired a nasty drug habit that completely drained his bank account to the point where, “the check he made out to a crack dealer bounced and he had to ask his father-in-law to go and give the dealer $2,000 cash.” His 6′4” 230lb frame diminished to a skinny 180 lbs. and became covered with over 25 regrettable tattoos.

Now it’s 2008 and Josh Hamilton is back from the dead sitting at the top of the MLB All-Star ballot and is a legit threat to baseball’s Triple Crown, leading the American League in batting average, home runs and RBIs.

Hamilton’s compelling journey is the type of story from which Hollywood movies are made and it’s chronicled in this week’s Sports Illustrated, a must read for any sports fan.

Read Sports Illustrated’s cover story – The Super Natural: After drugs and alcohol nearly destroyed his career before it got started, a repentant Josh Hamilton has miraculously restored the skills that now make him a Triple threat.
