Shot? No thanks, I'll PASS!

This is typically the route that Boston Celtics point guard Rajon Rondo takes on the basketball court. Day by day, Rondo is establishing himself as the leader of the Celtics. His 29 points, 18 rebounds and 13 assists set him aside Wilt Chamberlain and Oscar Robertson for such triple double numbers in NBA playoff history. One of his assists, as seen in the video, was a sick behind the back pass to Tony Allen in their 97-87 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers Sunday afternoon. The C's were once a team led by Paul Pierce, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, aka the BIG 3 aka "The three amigos". Now, you should change it to the BIG 4 because without Rondo, the C's wouldn't be as dynamic, granted many of their stars are getting old. Rondo proved he's an elite point guard in the NBA with his performance versus LeBron James and the Cavaliers. If Rondo keeps up these numbers, the Celtics have a chance to send LeBron, the Leauge MVP, home early.

It ain't over 'til it's over.

I grew up essentially in a baseball-oriented home.  I donned a Yankees onesie at the prime age of four months.  Tee ball was the first sport I learned how to play.  I knew who Mickey Mantle was before I entered kindergarten. When I began using the "I'm 18 and legally an adult," card in my arguments my dad would reply "You live in my ballpark, you play by my rules." And so, it has always been hard for me to understand a person who has no connection to baseball. Still, I run into these types every day.  

But whether you realize it or not, baseball--or at least some of it--is a part of your life. Take for example, Yogi Berra, a Hall of Fame player who caught for the New York Yankees for his entire baseball career. Yogi is a player who has managed to weasel his way into all of America's lives.  How? The Yogiism. 

Has anyone ever told you, "It ain't over, 'til it's over?" Probably. Ever actually taken the time to think about that phrase?  It has the amazing power to make absolutely no sense and all the sense in the world...at the same time. That is the mystique of the Yogiism. 

Even if you'd never heard of Yogi Berra (and you should...because he was a terrific asset to the game), you have most likely listened to and perhaps said some of his most famous "isms." They include sound explanations: "Nobody goes there anymore, it's too crowded." They consist of valuable advice: "When you come to a fork in the road, take it." They illustrate universal experiences: "It's deja vu all over again."  They administer honest opinions: "You can observe a lot by watching." 

So you see, even if you're a not a baseball fan, the sport has produced American tradition that can be seen all over the country. And while Yogi Berra may disregard the impact of his sayings ("I didn't really say everything I said."), it is hard to ignore the sense in his senselessness. 

"If you don't know where you're going, you will wind up somewhere else."  - Yogi Berra

For those of you who argue that baseball lacks physicality--that it cannot compare to the "contact" sports, take a look at this.  Was this unnecessary roughness or was Mark Teixeira of the Yankees just doing what he had to do to make it home? Either way, if you were looking for your contact fix in baseball, here it is...

I don't know about you, but I have a guilty pleasure for reality television. The new season of The Hills has started up again this past week. In the first episode, drama is already stirring up. Heidi returns home to Colorado, with a new face and body, shocking her family. The rest of the crew goes to Miami for a little vacation. Kristin is accused of using drugs, while the other girls and guys have fun and get along. Check out the trailer for this season of The Hills. (The last season!) 

Even though Lauren isn't on the show anymore, it's still fun to watch. Check it out, I'm sure you will get just as addicted as I am. It's stupid, but it keeps you entertained for a good thirty minutes. Enjoy!

via People of Walmart. I have no words. Here's the Weekly WTF:

GaGa: Is she greater than God? Apparently the cool kids in China have started using OMLG (Oh-My-Lady-Gaga) in place of OMG. WTF, am i rite?? [NYTimes]

Chocolate: It's just like booze! A study showed that chocolate eaters are more likely to be depressed. [Gawker]

Ouch: Remember that movie that revolved a girl having teeth in her vagina? Well, a new 'barbed' condom, called Rape-aXe, that will be released in South Africa has made that possible. [Jezebel]

Boobs: An Islamic cleric said, "Many women who do not dress modestly...lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity, and spread adultery in society, which (consequently) increases earthquakes." To test the theory, blogger Jen McCreight called ladies to arms (boobs?) to bear their weapons of mass destruction. Congratulations, we've survived Boobquake! [National Post]

Beiber Fever: Personally I think Justin Beiber has more power to start an earthquake given the recent hysteria his presence induced in Australia. [PopWatch]

Twi-hards: Your boyfriend will never be as dark and brooding as Edward Cullen, but now he can buy you the same engagement ring that Edward gave Bella for $35! Or $1,979. [TresSugar]

LeBron strikes again

This doesn't surprise me. Nor, should it surprise you.

Is there a shot that LeBron James can't make? We all know that he can dunk. We all know that he can make big shots when the game is on the line. But, where does this seemingly unlimited range come from? Man! It's unbelievable the amount of talent the reining NBA MVP has. At the end of the 3rd quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers 1st round match-up vs. the Chicago Bulls, LeBron hit a buzzer beater from just within the half court line. If you're a LeBron fan, it was the kind of shot that you expected him to make, given his track record. Not only that, he hit a "nothing but net" buzzer beater to close out the half of that game. Now, the Cavaliers are a win away from beating the Bulls and advancing to the 2nd round to face the Boston Celtics. If King James is shooting like that, the Celtics are in for a long series, or short if they get swept.

I had no idea who B.o.B. was until I heard "Nothing On You" on the radio. He has a new hit single called "Airplanes" and I am obsessed with it. This song has gone right to the top of the charts and it only came out on iTunes two weeks ago! In this song, Hayley Williams of Paramore duets with B.o.B. to create an unbelievable song. 

The song has a pop tune, but also contains rap in the song as well, making it popular among both boys and girls of various musical tastes. It's the kind of song that can be played over and over again without getting sick of it. 

The vocals are amazing and if you are a Paramore/B.o.B. fan, this one's for you. Check it out so that you can have it on repeat on your iTunes like I do!
