This just proves that filming stuff in black & white and adding slow piano music can make anything super dramatic. See more “Where Amazing Happens” parodies at Urlesque.
Sports Buzz In the New York Times Magazine this weekend, Michael Lewis profiles Houston Rockets forward Shane Battier, who's uninspiring stats belie the fact that his team wins way more when he plays. From the article: “Battier's game is a weird combination of obvious weaknesses and nearly invisible strengths. When he is on the court, his teammates get better, often a lot better, and his opponents get worse — often a lot worse. He may not grab huge numbers of rebounds, but he has an uncanny ability to improve his teammates' rebounding. He doesn't shoot much, but when he does, he takes only the most efficient shots. He also has a knack for getting the ball to teammates who are in a position to do the same, and he commits few turnovers. On defense, although he routinely guards the N.B.A.'s most prolific scorers, he significantly reduces their shooting percentages.”

Sports Buzz Kobe Bryant is reportedly having an affair with Vanessa Curry, a Lakers cheerleader. To make things worse, his wife Vanessa has cussed out an ESPN reporter who claimed Kobe was bonking the “hotter Vanessa.” If your name is Vanessa, you better watch your back!
