The Internets: The Last Supper of golf?

tiger.jpgSome very funny stuff sent to us by the good people of SportsbyBrooks: apparently Sports Illustrated is working on a cover that will imitate “The Last Supper,” with lookalikes of Tiger Woods and 12 other famous golfers. It doesn’t pay a thing, apparently, and judging by the invite, the shoot took place on Monday. We’ll be curious to see how this turns out, though we’re a little disappointed we didn’t find out about it earlier. We’ve always been told we look a little bit like Vijay Singh.

*Roughkat’s ultimate blend of sports and movies. Hey look, more lookalikes! It’s a lookalike post.

*Dan Shanoff says the Johan trade saved the sports week. Come to think of it, unless you’re a Twins fan, he might be right.

*Mets players make their Super Bowl predictions. Includes Moises Alou’s assertion that the Giants will win because they’re the “better team” (whoa, hand-whizzer!) and also includes a fabulous third guest that we just won’t spoil.

*A cheeseburger in a can. Yeah, for all the health nuts who love to hike and be with nature but don’t want to miss out on the taste of … no, no, no. That’s gross. And besides, it seems a little high in fett and kohlenhydrate to us. (Thanks, Stensation).

*The Lingerie Bowl? It’s off. Sorry. (Thanks to AZGopherGirl, who promises some more reportage soon on the goings on in Arizona during Super Bowl week).

Az, can’t you fire up talk about the “Lingerie Bowl” ? When we play basketball around here, we usually play shirts and skins, and if you can get a version of that on tape, you can be rich !! and the rest of us (mainly Dave and his gang) may be flagged for illegal use of hands (though I didn’t know THAT was illegal)

As for Plaxico Burress’ prediction of a 23-17 Giants win, I mean doesn’t the guy know he had his once in a lifetime game at Lambeau ? But, I won’t go into the possible genomes or demographics of his name again, but it still is one hell of a moniker. I wonder if he really wanted to be called “Mike” his whole life. Who knows ? Maybe that’s what makes him into the overachiever he is now…

First Johan, now the lingerie bowl. I don’t know if I want to live in a world where my only “bowl” alternative is the puppy bowl.

We never actually shelled out the dough for the lingerie bowl, but simply knowing it existed was enough. Now…. (sigh)

I have a gang? I’d better buy a gun.

Canned cheeseburger: better or worse than frozen White Castle? (It can’t possibly be any worse.)
