Sports Buzz This video is from Lin's rookie year with Golden State, but seeing as he's set the NBA on fire over the last week, I couldn't help but do my part to add to the Linsanity. The man is Harvard educated, proving himself to be a great NBA player, and can dance. Watch out women of New York. Jeremy Lin has arrived. (via @jennydeluxe)
Sports Buzz How amazing is this? A wakeboarder (who apparently doesn't even need a rope!) is joined by a couple dolphins off the coast of St. Pete Beach in Florida.
Sports Buzz Rangers' lefty Derek Holland relieves WFAA Channel 8's chief meteorologist to let the folks in Dallas-Fort Worth know what they should expect in the coming week. I'm not exactly sure what his wouldya jus' look at that? shtick is supposed to make fun of, but Holland does a pretty good Will Ferrell impersonation of Harry Carey.
Sports Buzz Jeremy Lin's Knicks teammate Amar'e Stoudemire won Twitter last night.
Sports Buzz Hardcore fans are committed to seeing The Weird One take the stage at Super Bowl XLVII next year, and they've got the online petition to prove it. “This is a serious case to be made,” writes spearheads Paul and Storm. “All the elements are there: lights, video, costume changes, general spectacle. And given a stadium-sized budget? It would be awesome in every sense of the word.” (via paulandstorm.com)
Sports Buzz “Inside the NBA” is the only show on TV where watching them laugh is more fun than watching them try to make you laugh. But honestly both are fun. (via blogs.thescore.com)
Sports Buzz Ken Duke hits an amazing second shot on Pebble Beach's sixteenth to hole out for Eagle. Then he decides to dance. And there's nothing better than hearing a British announcer saying, “No. No. Please. Please stop it,” while a dorky man dances.
Sports Buzz Will Ferrell proved himself the best person at announcing starting line-ups during Wednesday's Bulls - Hornets game. Thus, it's only appropriate that the NBA tap Ferrell to make the introductions later this month at the All-Star game. Help us get the league behind this obviously great idea.
Sports Buzz Advantage, wasp. Cameras caught the exact moment when world champion Roger Federer lost the respect of his peers. “Myah! Get it away! Myah!”—Roger Federer
Sports Buzz What happens when a Stanford grad and a Harvard grad become teammates in the NBA? This Milhouse of a handshake. (Note: This is a compliment. I love Milhouse.)
Sports Buzz Sports feline history was made during this week's Liverpool-Tottenham match-up.
Sports Buzz “At forward, No. 9, he collects rare birds and has a pet dolphin named Chachi…” Will Ferrell is in the BIg Easy filming a movie. So naturally, he stopped by tonight's New Orleans Hornets-Chicago Bulls NBA game and spiced up the introductions while announcing each team's starting lineup. (via The Daily What)
Sports Buzz File this under surprising, sweet, and classy. Coincidentally those are three adjectives that Rex Ryan listed on his online swinging profile. (via @darrenrovell)
Sports Buzz Damn, girl! Even I know that Mark Sanchez plays for the Jets and I don't know a thing about football. For shame.
Sports Buzz Hop on the Jeremy Lin bandwagon right now, sports fans. At best, the 23-year-old Harvard grad turned starting point guard for the Knicks will help lead the team out of the doldrums of the NBA to compete in the Eastern Conference this year. At worst, he's still a one-man highlight reel.
Sports Buzz I guarantee these photos will make you smile. (Guarantee is void if you are from Boston or hate the New York Giants.)
Sports Buzz The “Super Bowl” completely changes meaning when you add an “e.” This post is like one giant poop joke. You’ve been warned.
Sports Buzz Wow, this was a really great game. (H/T Playbook for finding these.)
