Basket's That Way !

In today's NBA of the Knicks vs. Nets a rare and hilarious moment happened. If you missed the game I'm not surprised, the teams combined records are 3-22. Knicks guard Nate Robinson intentionally shot the ball at his own basket. It goes in. Then his Coach Mike D'Antoni (complete with a serious stache) gives him an earful. Thankfully (for Nasty Nate's sake), the basket didnt count.

Reminds me of my middle school basketball days. Andrew Baldwin takes an inbound pass, streaks right to the basket for an uncontested lay up. Score two for Baldwin. Score two for the other team.  At the next game someone held up a sign that read "Basket's That Way Chief!" complete with an arrow. Middle schoolers are ruthless!

This guy JL Productions puts together some pretty good videos. Here is one of his promo's for 2010 NCAA Lax season. Boom.

Megan Fox's Toe (or Thumb?)

OK, as men we can all agree that Megan Fox is a total babe (some at TRS are more obsessed than others). Some serious Salad. While TRS was at Susquehanna U. one of their players brought up in conversation that she had a jacked up thumb. They were SO right. I never knew. Oh well.

I warn you, if you think Megan Fox is hot, I dont want to ruin it for you.

Her

Her thumb.

TRS Goes to Southampton

TheRawSection was fortunate enough to be hosted by the Susquehanna University Baseball Team on Friday night at their school. Some of the upper level management from TRS got a chance to spend time with the players and see how the SU Baseballer's do it. They are a pretty deal around those parts and people know them (had a kid throw a perfect game last season, NO BIG). I told the guys The Raw would shout them out because they are avid readers and overall classy guys. We chatted it up about various topics such as sports, Katt Williams and Megan Fox's thumb (more on this later). Want to give a super big shout out to Kirby (Congrats on the Engagement!) who was just shutting it down like a boss. Overall, it was a great experience getting to hang out with some of our readers and hearing what they had to say.

Here is their mugshot

Quit Your Crying

Finally. The Irish national soccer team (or football, we do have European readers) are giving up on challenging the intentional hand ball no-call that happened in a World Cup Qualifying game against France. If you havent heard (how could you not have?) Thierry Henry of France touched a pass, what looked to be intentionally, with his  inside the box and passed it to a teammate who scored. That goal knotted the game at 1-1 and it stayed that way. France advanced by an aggregate score of 2-1 and the Beer Drinkers were sent home and did not qualify for the World Cup.

I cant say I am too upset about Ireland giving up. Let me get this right... Ireland wanted to go back and re-play the game (or play)? Yea, sure, lets just go back and re-do the play next week. Better yet, lets just restart the game? Yea, that will be good. News flash, Ireland, stuff happens. I agree its a horrible way to lose but its a little ridiculous to the extent they are taking it. Getting Prime Minister's and Presidents all involved. Come onnn. Thats like saying lets go back every week in the NFL and re-do all the passing TD's where a hold occurred. In the words of Borat, "Naaatttt".

An interview were Henry admitted the hand ball was intentional

The Band is On the Field (2009 Edition)

Last weekend, Pioneer High School in Woodland, CA did its best impersonation of Cal-Stanford's "The Play". Down 8-7 very late in the fourth quarter, Pioneer HS used a short pass, 3 latterals and one beautiful fake to seal the win on the games final play. The best part about the story is that Pioneer HS needed the win to get a shot at the playoffs. They won, they got in.

Ironically, both of these crazy endings happened in California. What's in the water out there?


Here is the video of the last play.
