Video: Two men beat up man in road rage incident
Here is a crazy video of a road rage fight in the streets captured by another car just driving by in another lane.
How odd that the music played in the cameraman's car is a song called "Take care" by Drake and Rihanna?
The man that got knocked out should not have tried to fight the three men all by himself. Sure it was one on one in the beginning but he had to know that the two other guys would not just be bystanders in the brawl.

Bryce Harper walk-up song is "Boyfriend" by Justin Bieber
The hit song "Boyfriend" by Justin Bieber was the walk-up song for Washington Nationals superstar Bryce Harper as he walked to the plate to bat on Tuesday night.
Check out the video below as some fans in Washington are shocked and surprised by the song. You can hear one fan say "oh my god" while another one says "hell no."
I'm not a big Bieber fan myself but the song is catchy and it does show that Harper doesn't take himself too seriously.
The official video for "Boyfriend" by Bieber is below as well for those that want to hear the full song.

Seattle Supersonics fans diss OKC with "Smells like Green Spirit" song
The Oklahoma City Thunder are down 3-1 in the seven-game series against the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals and the fans in Seattle are very very happy about this.
Here is a song that is a parody of the "Smells like teen spirit" song from Nirvana called "Smells like green spirit."
It was very difficult for the fans in Seattle to lose their beloved Sonics to Oklahoma City but it must make them feel somewhat better to see the Thunder losing to the Heat in the NBA Finals.

MMA referee knocks out cornerman after the fight is over
A MMA referee knocked out the losing fighter's cornerman after the fight was over when the cornerman disagreed with the ref's decision to end the fight.
The losing fighter was in trouble so the ref stopped the fight and that is when a cornerman said something to the ref. The ref didn't like what the cornerman said and then they started to argue.
As you can see in the video, the cornerman then shoves the ref slightly and then eats a left hand that knocks him out.
Can you imagine this happening in the NFL or in the NBA?
Perhaps the cornerman and the ref have a history. Who knows?
A lot of these MMA refs train just like the fighters do and know how to knock someone out or apply submission moves.
The crazy knockout happens around the one minute mark.

Video: E-40 raps for the San Francisco Giants "Vote 25 on it"
Bay Area rap legend E-40 recently put down a rap for the San Francisco Giants called "Vote 25 on it" which is a song telling fans to vote the Giants players like Buster Posey and Melky Cabrera into the All Star game in July.
E-40 and a young girl named Ursula did the track with Ursula doing the chorus. If the beat sounds familiar to you, it is because they took the instrumental from the old hit song "I got 5 on it" from The Luniz.
Both songs are below.

Here is the video of San Francisco Giants pitcher Matt Cain doing the Top Ten on the Late Show with David Letterman on Monday night.
Cain threw a perfect game last week against the Houston Astros and did the "Top ten things he wants to achieve now that he has thrown a perfect game" list.

Letterman made a mistake during the segment when he said the Giants are in the "NFL West."
After doing the Top Ten list, Cain started the game against the Angels last night and went five innings while giving up three runs. Cain and the Giants got the win 5-3.

Texas Rangers broadcaster Dave Barnett speaks nonsense and loses his mind during Rangers vs. Padres game
Texas Rangers broadcaster Dave Barnett lost his mind Monday night during the Rangers vs. Padres game in San Diego.
During the eighth inning, Barnett said the "go-ahead run is at fifth" even though there is no such thing as a fifth base in baseball. Barnett proceeded to then talk about a "botched robbery" and "henchmen."
Barnett sounded like a man drunk. What happened? Who knows? It could be a medical condition.
All I know is that the fans watching the broadcast were probably very confused.

Jimmy Kimmel Live's security guard Guillermo annoys Heat and Thunder players at Media Day
Here is a hilarious video of Jimmy Kimmel Live's security guard Guillermo at Media Day at the NBA Finals.
Guillermo mispronounces every player's name and asks them inappropriate questions. He calls Derek Fisher "Darryl Fisher" and Dwyane Wade "Dwyane Wayne."
The security guard also has an "exclusive" with LeBron James and seems to piss off James Harden as well.

Video: LeBron James gives his sweaty headband to a female fan who puts it on after the game
Did anyone catch LeBron James giving his sweaty headband to a female fan in the stands after his post-game interview with ABC's Doris Burke?
The female fan appears to ask James for the headband and he kindly gives it to her. The woman then proceeds to proudly put on the headband.
Maybe the NBA and LeBron can make a commercial out of this just like Coca Cola did with Joe Greene of the Pittsburgh Steelers when he gave his towel to a young boy after a game?

Metta World Peace disses James Harden with "No brain All Beard" tweet
Lakers' forward Metta World Peace aka Ron Artest tweeted this during Game 3 of the Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder series on Sunday night.
No brain All beard
— Metta WorldPeace (@MettaWorldPeace)
Of course World Peace is referring to James Harden although he doesn't mention Harden's name in the tweet.
In Game 3 of the NBA Finals, Harden had a bad game and made only two shots on 10 attempts. He also had some bad turnovers as well as the Thunder lost 91-85 to the Heat in Miami.
Some fans replied back to World Peace by saying that Harden has no brains due to World Peace giving him a concussion while other fans called him out for hating on Harden.
If you forgot what World Peace did to Harden earlier this season, here is the video of the elbow incident.
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning looks out of shape while throwing out first pitch at New York Mets game
New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning threw out the ceremonial first pitch at Citi Field to Mets third baseman David Wright on Father's Day.
Manning was holding his young daughter when he threw out the first pitch. I know it is the offseason in the NFL but take a look at Manning's waist in his Mets jersey. Does that look like a big gut or what?
Manning can get fat and gain a few pounds in June but he better be in shape in the fall if the Giants want to repeat as Super Bowl champs. Take a look at the video and see Manning's big belly for yourself.

29-year-old gambler punches female cashier after losing Euro 2012 bet
Have you ever bet on a game and lost and wanted to punch a wall or a person to make you feel better?
A 29-year-old man from the U.K. punched a female Ladbrokes cashier in the face after finding out he lost his small wager on Portugal to beat Germany in Euro 2012.
When the cashier told him he lost his bet, he started to spew profanities before punching the cashier.
If Portugal had won, the bettor would have won only $1.51.
Talk about a temper. It's one thing to get angry if you lost a lot of money but if you are placing small bets and lose, there is no reason to act violent.
The bettor was arrested.
Here are some pictures of the man punching the cashier.
Utah Jazz legend John Stockton is not recognized by any fans in Barcelona
Here is a funny video of former Utah Jazz point guard John Stockton walking around the streets of Barcelona with his family and no one recognizes him.
If Michael Jordan or Magic Johnson was walking on the street, I am sure more fans would recognize them but Stockton isn't very tall and big so he blended in with the rest of the crowd.
NBA TV aired a documentary on the 1992 Dream Team last night but not everyone gets that premium cable channel.

This catch in right field by Seth Smith of the Oakland A's is one of the best catches I have seen all season.
Aaron Hill of the Diamondbacks thought he hit a homer in the second inning on Friday night but Smith leaped up and caught the ball. Smith timed his jump very well and robbed Hill of a home run. Talk about some hops!
The Diamondbacks won the game 9-8 thanks to a dramatic three-run homer by Ryan Roberts in the bottom of the ninth inning off A's closer Brian Fuentes.

WMTW female news anchor Meghan Torjussen makes huge mistake reporting on Boston Celtics vs. Heat game
WMTW news anchor Meghan Torjussen doesn't know much about sports as you can tell from watching the video below.
Torjussen tells the WMTW viewers in Maine that the Celtics vs. Heat game ended in a tie. The Game 4 contest between these two teams did not end up in a tie of course since there is no such thing as a tie in the NBA.
It was quite an embarrassing moment for WMTW and Torjussen.

San Francisco Giant Pablo Sandoval faces possible sexual assault charges in Santa Cruz County
San Francisco Giants third baseman Pablo Sandoval is facing possible sexual assault charges in Santa Cruz County according to this report from Giants' beat reporter Andrew Baggarly.
Sandoval is on the disabled list with an injury to his wrist. He is set to begin a rehab assignment with the San Jose Giants and should be off the disabled list in a few weeks.
The Panda's attorney, Eric Geffen, told CSN Bay Area that, "On Friday, June 1, Pablo Sandoval voluntarily met with the Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Department related to a consensual, personal relationship of a sexual nature that took place on that day."
According to Baggarly's report, his sources confirm that a woman contacted the police and said that she was too drunk to give sexual consent.
Sandoval has a young daughter from a previous marriage and went through a divorce a few years ago.
This is bad news for the Panda and the Giants since he is their biggest star on the team.
Sandoval's reputation and image will take a hit as well due to these charges. The Giants don't need any off-field distractions and these charges could affect Sandoval at the plate.
The Giants are currently in second place in the NL West but have gained ground on the Dodgers in the past few days.
Saturday's Sports Bets and Picks
I don't usually post picks that often but I have a solid winning record on this blog as well as on Twitter.
Here are today's picks. Good luck.
Under 8 A's vs Royals.
The A's can't hit or score and the A's get their ace back today in Brandon McCarthy. He is only going to throw around 85 pitches but the bullpen has been solid as well. Look for a low-scoring game.
I might have more picks later. If you want me to post picks daily, let me know with some comments.

Video: San Diego Padre Cameron Maybin gets pranked by his teammates at a NYC burger joint
San Diego Padres outfielder Cameron Maybin got pranked by his teammates Yonder Alonso and Andy Parrino recently when the team was in New York to play the Mets.
The three teammates went to a burger joint in New York and Maybin ordered a huge burger while Alonso and Parrino ordered something else.
While they were eating their meals, a few of the patrons ran to the bathroom and the waitress told Maybin that they had to throw up and some had diarrhea due to the same burger that Maybin was eating.
Maybin is worried because he doesn't want to get sick and throw up. He also knows he has a game later that day.
Check out the funny video below.
