10. Zach Greinke (XBOX-MVP 2005). It sounds ridiculous to say that a Kansas City Royal could dominate a video game, but Zach Greinke did exactly that. His curveball was simply unhittable. I would lob this one up for about 90% of the pitches I would throw during a game, and the stuff just couldn’t be touched. It helped that it looked the exact same as his fastball, leaving your opponent flustered. If you could get around the fact that the Royals couldn’t hit, you were golden.

9. Dustan Mohr (XBOX- MVP 2005). Mohr was another shockingly dominant player on MVP 2005. The weird thing is, his dominance only came against right handed pitchers, where his entire strike zone was a “hot zone.” There is probably nothing more demoralizing than stepping up against a batter who has no area of weakness.

8. Bowser (N64- Mario Golf). Bowser was the John Daly of Mario Golf. He could hit the ball a mile, and his short game was surprisingly good. The key was to catch him on a meltdown hole, which would happen about once a round, and then somehow hold out against him the other 17 holes. No small task. Read the rest of this entry »

10. Heather Mitts. AJ Feeley might be a piece of crap journeyman backup but he’s struck gold in Mitts, a former member of the gold-winning soccer team at the 2004 Olympics. Mitts is now serving as a sideline reporter for MLS broadcasts on ESPN and ABC.

9. Amy Mickelson. Phil’s wife has been seen countless times embracing her husband after his failures in major championships. However, Amy has been given reason to smile in the last few years, as she’s been by Phil’s side for his major wins. Phil won the Player’s Championship this past weekend and picked up another $1 million or so. Tough life.

8. Carrie Underwood. The former American Idol winner has been seen with Tony Romo on numerous occasions. She showed up at Cowboy games to root him on and since the season ended, she’s continued to see him. We don’t know if her hit song, Before He Cheats, is written about Romo but we’ll soon find out.

In response to the great feedback we received over last week’s Top Ten, we’ve decided to show ten videos that missed the cut in our top ten. Because there were so many to choose from, tons of gems were left out. We thank everyone for the feedback in last week’s article and hope you enjoy this week’s ten.

Bobby Labonte: Before road rage was a weekly occurance on the NASCAR circuit, most drivers stayed pretty level-headed during the race. One of those calm drivers was Bobby Labonte. But in this clip, an unidentifiable mascot (bulldog?) takes a joy ride in Labonte’s #18 car. As Labonte flips out, Rich Eisen slips him a few bucks.

10. Leading it off with a Peyton Manning commercial is expected, considering he’s on about 37 commercials that are currently airing. Peyton, Eli, and Archie are touring the ESPN studios and the brothers do what every pair of siblings do: they fight. The highlight of this one is Eli getting owned in the legs at the very end.

10. Eric Byrnes. Byrnes makes this list not only because his hair sucks, but so does he. He is incredibly annoying as an announcer and his hair flying everywhere really doesn’t help his cause. This isn’t even the “messy” look that’s in style right now, this is just the “really bad” style.

9. Ronaldo. This is a specific Ronaldo, the one that showed up at the 2002 World Cup with 2/3 of his head shaved. What the hell is with this haircut? Did the razor die about halfway through, or is he dumb enough to think this actually looks good? Sure he may have won a World Cup, but when he looks back at that World Cup, he’s going to hate himself.

8. Alexi Lalas. The whole caveman look really isn’t working for anyone. When it’s a big ugly redhead who plays soccer, it really isn’t working. I guess Lalas earns some points for intimidation, but someone should really introduce him to a pair of scissors.

April 20th is known for many things. It’s known for great moments in sports such as Michael Jordan’s 63 point performance in the NBA playoffs, a record that stands to this day. It was also the day that both Tiger Stadium and Fenway Park opened in 1912. Those are two pretty big things, both occurring on the same day. But these days, April 20th is a time for stoners around the world to celebrate. Many of those celebrators are athletes. Without further ado, Sportable’s Top Five Pothead Athletes.

Ricky Williams: Who else could top the list? Here’s a guy that won the Heisman Trophy Winner and was one of the the NFL’s elite running backs. Then he just packed it up. Why? To pursue knowledge of holistic medicine and most of all, smoke marijuana. Williams was already going to suffer a four game suspension because of positive tests so he decided to take a year off for some yoga and weed. He returned to the NFL in 2005 and played 12 games. Then he was suspended for an entire season for what else? A positive drug test. “Run Ricky Run?” To hell with that. Smoke Ricky Smoke.

Nate Newton: Was that a body that Nate Newton had in his van back in 2001? No, that was just 213 pounds of marijuana. Five weeks later, Newton was caught with 175 more pounds of the sticky. Packing one bowl was never enough for Nate. He had to smoke enough to get the entire Western Hemisphere blazed. “It was all the fun the law would allow…and then some,” said Newton. Sure, Nate. Whatever you say. Since his 30 month jail sentence, Newton has cleaned up his act and is now part of the North Dallas Community of God. Read the rest of this entry »
