So Michael Phelps likes to smoke that "Ricky Williams" what is the big deal? It is weed, if it was crack or cocaine that would be one thing, but it is weed and before you go on your "Rob must be a pot head" tangent let me say that I am not a smoker. I mean I have smoked before but that was because of this girl and a bet that involved some Victoria Secret lingerie and a video camera but I digress. The point I am making is this there is a lot more things to worry about in this world than Michael Phelps hitting the bong.

I understand he is a role model and what not, but I will tell parents this if the worst thing you catch your kids doing is puffing the sticky icky consider yourself blessed because it could be worse. Stop using athletes as role models; you don't want your kid to hit the bong talk to them about drugs. I am on record stating that alcohol is much more dangerous than weed and anyone can buy beer even McLovin.

The first thing that comes to mind while watching this video is that whoever is Sapp's tailor should be getting paid double for being able to get him into those suits on the NFL Network because he could have definitely used the Bowflex for Christmas. Beyond that they seem to be having a little too much fun while onlookers just seem to be in shocked that these two stars are flopping around like twelve year olds. I thought this was South Beach where are the hot chicks? I see a few in the background, but the cameraman "Pimp Focus" was not strong.

Wouldn't this video have been 100x no 1000x better if instead of Sapp, Megan Fox was in the pool? I am just saying and yes that was just an excuse to post this picture of Megan Fox.

Wonder if I can get "Red Carpet" tickets Transformers 2, because you know "Ya Boy" would step to her like:

Now that we've said goodbye to the end of an era of mediocrity known as the Bush era and ushered in the new, you can't help but look back at the some of the greatest sports moments of 2008. Here's some that made you laugh, cry or just stare dumbfounded in disbelief. Yea Litall touched on this but as usual, but after much debating, here are MY top picks for best sports stories. Let the arguments begin............

TOP 8 SPORTS MOMENTS OF 2008

8.) Nadal Ends Federer's Reign At Wimbledon

Ok so I'll bite. Now that I've seen video clips, I've decided to kick off my second annual Top Sports Moments list with the history in the making match up between men's tennis
greats Rafeal Nadal and Roger Federer. The grueling five match showdown complete with rain delays was a testament to Nadal's toughness and tenacity and marked the end of Federer's five year reign, as Nadal was crowned Wimbledon champion.

7.)Rays Almost Sting Phillies In World Series

To the victor goes the spoils they say and while the Phillies have been named as the 2008 World Series Champions, the Rays fairytale journey into the World Series contention should definitely NOT go without notice. Just thinking about a team with a 200-1 shot at appearing in the World Series go from worst to first, beating out heavyweights New York and Boston is enough to place this moment in the Top 8 Sports Moments of 2008.

6.) Old Time Rivalry Renewed:Celtics vs Lakers

There's something about reliving the glory days when the NBA Finals was a clash of the Titans between two juggernauts, one from the East and one from the West. Ask anyone about the Celtics vs Lakers rivalry and the names Magic vs Bird, Russell vs come to mind. During the 2008 Finals, David Stern, the media and old school fans got their wish as Kobe led Lakers faced off against the Big 3 of the Celtics composed of K.G., Paul Pierce and Ray Allen. Despite the victory being favored to go to the Lakers, the defensive prowess of the Celtics proved to be too much for the Lakers and the Celtics went on to win the series in 6 games.

What is this the Guitar Hero plague? First its David Cook and David Archuleta and then unforgettably Heidi Klum OTHER Guitar Hero Commercial. Yea yea I know! Not another commercial post but a girl has to show off her humorous side. Last time I checked a sense of humor is sexy in a woman or so I've been told *smile

This may be "Risky Business" but Kobe rocking it out in boxer shorts along with A-Rod and Phelps + Tony Hawk in a dufus helmet and toy drums on a skateboard= MAD funny! lmao I couldn't resist this one

Thanks for to the kind people of RADAR ONLINE for providing us with the link and the pics to our favorite Olympic Swimmer "Poseidon" Phelps getting his "Pimp Focus" on in the Playboy Strip Club in Vegas.

Life is good for Phelps as you can see. Wonder if he would allow me into the Entourage? I mean every good entourage needs a Bona Fide Sports Expert right? Personally I like my ladies with a little more junk in the trunk, but I am sure I could make it work. Pimp on MP. Pimp on....

You know greatness when you see it. When you were watching MJ you saw it. When you were watching Montana you saw it. When you were watching Ali you saw it. Greatness doesn't have a question mark behind it. It is known to everyone not just sports fan, but everyone. Your grandmother knows it, Your wife who hasn't watched a sporting event all year knows it; you kid who normally watches Noggin 24/7 knows it because greatness transcends; it permeates. It is its own zone. It's own atmosphere. It's own feel.

As you watched Michael Phelps in the 2008 Olympics, you knew you were watching greatness. You knew you were watching something special. Sometimes we get caught up in thinking that the only great athletes are the ones who can catch, shoot, run or hit a ball, which couldn't be farther from the truth. Because one of the greatest athletes of our time or any time never stepped on a "field".

Try to do anything 17 times in 9 days and see how you feel? Now try to do that against the best competition in the world, many of whom haven't did anything before competing against you and themselves are considered at the top of their sport. Then on top of that, try to accomplish something that has never been done in the history with a bullet on your chest. What do you think the chances are that you would succeed?

One of my favorite quotes of all time is from the great Ric Flair (queue my Ric Flair gif please).

"To Be The Man You Have To Beat The Man"

Everyone wanted to beat Michael Phelps. But no one could. Even when they thought they won, they came up a little bit short.

Sometimes you can tell more about how great an athlete is by the reactions of their opponent. To a man, they all have the same face after the lost to Phelps. Some disgust, some admiration, but above, all just look in awe and disbelief. They all come in with the belief that they can win and they all walk away with nothing but silver or bronze.

I can't tell you how happy I am to have the old Ocho Cinco back. The one from this summer was a little disturbing to me. I much prefer the fun loving, grill wearing, trash-talking and horse-racing Chad.

Earlier this week, Viva Shetty told you how Chad is thinking about legally changing his name to Ocho Cinco which, of course, I think is the coolest thing ever. I would be first in line to buy one with the Corporate Low Limit Not Quite Ballin Paypal BSO MasterCard. As my boy F350 says:

"The marketing aspects would be sick."

But even better than that is Ocho's latest boast that he would like to take on Aquaman aka Michael Phelps in a swimming contest. Here is the quote from Chad:

"Where I'm from -- Liberty City -- I know a couple of people who can beat Michael Phelps right now. Seriously. I'm telling you. And I'm one of 'em."

Chad also claims that he was the three-time Charles Hadley Pool champion in Liberty City, Miami. Of course no records of this exist, but fact-finding takes the fun out of the story. I am begging for someone to put this event together and put it on PPV. You have my $49.95.

*UPDATE*

The good people at WHEREISTAND.COM has provided us with a video of Chad making his boasts.

For all of you crying that Michael Phelps didn't win as much as Milorad Cavic lost the 100 meter butterfly, in the immortal words of the Rock.

"Know Your Role and Shut Your Mouth"

Simply put, great athletes always find a way to win even if that means capitalizing on an opponent's slightest mistake.

The ironic thing was that Cavic didn't make a mistake per se. It was Phelps who was caught in mid stroke which is normally a big no-no. I don't care how great you are, you need a little luck to pull off the type of accomplishment that Michael Phelps is about to pull off. But there is no luck involved in being 7th at the turn and tracking down everyone to win a gold medal. That, my friend, is the definition of a "Serial Killer."

Just like many of you, I watched in amazement as the USA 4x100 freestyle swim team made a dramatic comeback of epic proportions against the trash-talking French Team (see the link below for the entire race). The last time I was that excited about a sporting event Eli Manning was throwing his Hail Mary to David Tyree.

While the accomplishment in it of itself is amazing, I would also like to give a special shout to the Cullen Jones the second African-American swimmer to medal in the history of the Summer Olympics. By all accounts, Jones is a very classy individual who is well liked by all his teammates. He is a great role model for young African-Americans who now know that sports extend out to more just football, basketball and baseball. While I was very proud to be an American as I watched them all take the medal stand, I was even prouder as a Black American to see Mr. Jones receive his gold.

Watch The US Swim Team and Cullen Jones Make History.

Watch Cullen Jones talking to Meredith Vieira on The Today Show about the thrill of winning Gold in such exciting fashion.

Two quick things about the Olympics before getting to the story of Bean and his Chinatown love:

1- The United States better not ever go to war with China.

Did you see those opening ceremonies? You should be concerned about meeting on the battlefield any country that can put on that type of display for a show. Just imagine what they could do if they decided to go bomb some countries. In essence, the USA is like Brett Favre. We have a lot of records and we are very talented, but when push comes to shove, we have a little bit of a gunslinger mentality that normally gets us in trouble. China on the other hand is like Montana to Rice. Deadly efficient, no wasted motion, in essence a serial killer. We don't want to deal with that, but while we are on serial killers.

2- Is Michael Phelps human?

There is a running debate with some friends of mine that he is actually Aquaman (not the somewhat weird Aquaman from the Super Friends days, but the cooler one from the Justice League days). The theory is that at night he jumps in the ocean and communicates with dolphins. In what was supposed to be his weakest event, the 4*400 Medley, he simply destroyed his competition and the world record. After it was over he wasn't even breathing hard. Unless one of his teammates screws up in the relay races, those eight gold medals are a lock.

Now to the story at hand. Who knew that Darth was the next ruler of the Chinese Empire? The reaction that Kobe has gotten since he arrived in Beijing has been eye opening to the point that even American journalist are puzzled by it. In the first game of the Olympic Basketball competition you would have thought Kobe was playing for the Chinese National team. What could be the explanation? My theory is that this generation of Chinese people had a lot more access to the NBA than say the Michael Jordan generation and who gets more coverage than any player in the NBA Kobe Bean Bryant. Unlike in the USA, where ESPN & a million of internet blogs (mine included) and sports-talk radio stations can corrupt a fan's perception of a player in China, all they are seeing is the raw beauty of Kobe's play.

So the next time Kobe's contract comes up, maybe instead of those overseas teams, he should check out the China Garden.
