Sloganalysis: What A Slogan Can Say About Your NHL Team

Some NHL team slogans, like 'Be The Thunder,' are pretty great. Others inexplicably speak in first-person, insist you're part of their army, or simple beg you to 'experience.' But can a team's slogan reflect its success on the ice?

NCAA 13's Heisman Trailer May Cause Riots

Screen_shot_2012-05-30_at_3

EA Sports' NCAA Football 13 has a new feature that allows you to plunk certain Heisman Trophy winners onto your dynasty team, meaning you can reunite Barry Sanders with former quarterback Mike Gundy on Oklahoma State's 2012 roster! Or bring Robert Griffin III back for another year at Baylor!

Or do some entirely unholy things like Herschel Walker at Auburn, as seen above, or Desmond Howard at Ohio State, which is among the many rivalry-crossing horrors contained below:

Where Amazing Happens On HBO

From The Hollywood Reporter:

Jeff Nathanson and Gavin Polone are bringing their own brand of sports dramedy to HBO. The duo has sold a pitch for an untitled hourlong project that would offer viewers an unflinching behind-the-scenes look at a professional basketball team. The dramedy would feature the money, sex, power and temptation that often accompany the world of pro sports, both for its millionaire players and billionaire owners.

The word "dramedy" can't be a good sign, and I'm afraid to get my hopes up here. But ... Still. This is long overdue. The NBA's already full of sex and power struggles and ridiculous characters doing ridiculous things. So, putting it on HBO every week? Full of nudity and profanity and conspiracy and hopefully one hell of a Donald Sterling doppleganger? LET'S DO IT.

IMPORTANT NOTE: DeShawn Stevenson Has An ATM In His Kitchen

Deshawnstevenson_medium

Having an ATM in your in kitchen is...

A) Completely unnecessary and ridiculous
B) An expensive way to avoid all those pesky surcharges
C) Far and away the most hood rich kitchen accessory of all time
D) Kinda brilliant, when you think of how convenient it'd be

The answer is all of the above, of course. DeShawn Stevenson is the best. Great outfit, too. But DeShawn got me wondering about option B, so I did a little digging.

USC Football Field Used As Setting For Porn Movie

Yep, that's the story! Blame Lane Kiffin's notoriously sexy recruiting tactics if you like, but filming actually occurred during Pete Carroll's first year at USC. It took a decade to discover because USC only cleared most of its browser history.

The filming at the taxpayer-owned stadium was done at night, with the Coliseum's towering lights blazing and its rows of distinctive red and white seats framing many of the scenes. The video also shows the stadium's signature tunnel, which the Trojan team charges through at the start of games, as well as a sliver of the iconic peristyle, the arched entrance to the Coliseum.

"I was just in awe that we were at the Coliseum," said a star of the film, who goes by the name Mr. Marcus. "I've made movies for about 20 years and I've done a lot of things, but that one really stands out.... I mean, who gets to have sex on the Coliseum floor?"

We can all hope that's not actually Marcus Allen.

VIDEO: Japanese Commentators Call End Of Indy 500

I don't understand a word the Japanese commentators were saying as they called the end of the Indy 500, but it doesn't much matter. From the tone of their voices, it's pretty easy to figure out the swings in emotion they felt as Takuma Sato barely slid into second place, then nearly took the lead of the first turn of the final lap before crashing.

Pretty cool to hear the end of the race, which was incredibly wild, from a different viewpoint. Video after the jump.

Terrell Owens Cut By IFL Team For Doing Terrell Owens Things

The Terrell Owens Arena League experiment is over after the Allen Wranglers cut the former All-Pro NFL wide receiver on Tuesday. The reasons probably won't surprise you.

"The proverbial straw that broke the camel's back for Mr. Owens was his no-show to a scheduled appearance at a local children's hospital with other Wrangler players and coaches.

The team added Owens refused to play in upcoming road games in Nebraska and Everett, Wash. Again, probably not the most shocking thing in the world, but still ... yikes.
