LeBron James Only Got Halfway Through A Tweet Before Choking Today


We know: it’s completely ridiculous to criticize an athlete for his spelling on Twitter. And Business Insider has probably made somewhere between 1,000- and 2,000-times more spelling errors than LBJ in the last few years.

But having said that, LeBron misspelled “unacceptable” in a tweet today. And now grammar/spelling snobs are killing him on Twitter.

Here’s it is:

lebron james mispelled tweet

He didn’t even wait until the last quarter of his tweet to screw up (boom).

UPDATE!

Apology accepted.

lebron corrects previous tweet

And the hits keep coming.

HERE IT IS: The First NFL Mock Draft Of 2012


robert griffin iii baylor

The first weekend of the 2012 NFL playoffs is in the books. Four teams were sent home to start planning their return march to the postseason next year. If those teams, or any others, are going to get there, they’ll need a little help culled from the next wave of prospects available in the 2012 NFL Draft. Here we attempt to predict which players will be helping teams reach the next level. (Note: This mock draft assumes there are no trades.)

See how the top 10 shakes out >

If comparison is your thing, here’s a link to our last mock draft.

This post originally appeared at SB Nation.

1. Indianapolis Colts, Andrew Luck, QB, Stanford

Not much prediction required since Colts owner Jim Irsay said that the team would draft Luck with the first pick. There should never have been any doubts. Peyton Manning’s future looks iffy. Luck gives Indianapolis a quarterback capable of dominating their division for another decade the way Manning did. Whoever ends up in the GM job here still has big task to replenish the roster, but this is a great start.




2. St. Louis Rams, Justin Blackmon, WR, Oklahoma State

Consensus says that Baylor’s Robert Griffin III gets drafted here. He might, and the Rams would be more than happy to trade the pick for a heaping helping of draft picks to fill in the talent gaps throughout their roster. If they don’t trade down, there will be a debate between Blackmon and Kalil. Sam Bradford could use both, but a third season with Danny Amendola as his best receiver would be a tragedy.




3. Minnesota Vikings, Matt Kalil, OT, USC

Minnesota wins the Matt Kalil prize, getting the best tackle prospect since Jake Long to protect their investment in Christian Ponder … or Joe Webb. They signed Charlie Johnson from the Colts to be their starting left tackle prior to the 2011 season, and he quickly reminded everyone how Peyton Manning makes linemen look better than they are. Kalil gives them a cornerstone on the line.

Of Course Darryl Dawkins Wore An Alligator Skin Suit And Smooth-Talked A Sixers Sideline Reporter Last Night [Video]

Some athletes never outgrow their outsized personas, even long after retirement. So it is with Darryl Dawkins (aka “Chocolate Thunder“), the one and only backboard-busting native of the planet Lovetron. Here he is at Kings-Sixers in Philly, looking sharp as he sprinkles in some of that old charm at the end of this interview with Comcast SportsNet’s Meredith Marakovits. [The 700 Level] More »

Here’s That Ultra-Sexual Kim Kardashian Super Bowl Commercial Skechers Replaced With Dog Racing


Skechers is getting a lot of heat for its Greyhound dog racing commercial for the 2012 Super Bowl. People are saying the ad “supports the cruelty of dog racing.

Well, last year, Skechers went with something totally different. The sneaker company ran a hyper-sexual ad featuring Kim Kardashian breaking up with her personal trainer, and making references to her infamous sex tape.

Maybe Skechers pulled the ad because of her recent snafu with NBA star Kris Humphries. We’re not sure, but here’s the ad from last year:

Does Anybody Know A Nine-Year-Old Power-Hitting Catcher In Raleigh? [Baseball]

I’m not sure why I’m so taken by this Craigslist posting, sent in by a pair of readers, seeking a very specific sort of ballplayer for a Wake County (N.C.) 9U travel team. Maybe it’s because all the nine-year-olds we remember from little league swung as hard as they could on every pitch, and because everything hit to the outfield got past the fielders for a triple anyway, and because only the fat kids were put at catcher.
