Junior Seau run over by a bull for Versus reality TV show

The story has gotten out that Junior Seau got banged up by a bull while guest starring as a rodeo clown. In case you were wondering why an NFL Pro-Bowler would put himself in such a position, our good friends at Versus now have the answer: reality TV. Here's the clip from the new show "Sports Jobs."

Chad Pennington: next year's Comeback Player of the Year

Don't feel too sorry for Chad Pennington, who's out for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury. This is all part of his master plan. We talked to Chad during last year's Super Bowl and he explicitly outlined his plan to get injured this year so that he can win his third Comeback Player of the Year award in 2010. At 0:40 in the video he says:

"That's kind of the secret to being a comeback player -- you have a good year, you get the award, then you get hurt... and then come back the following year and get the award again."



We honestly wish Chad well in his recovery and subsequent comeback campaign. He seems like a genuinely nice guy, and I can only hope he's able to get back in the game after this.

Jersey Joker tackles the Lingerie Football League

If you watched the show Fanarchy on Versus, then you're familiar with Jersey Joker, everyone's favorite loud-mouthed Yankees fan. Well apparently he was somehow able to parlay his television fame into a trip to L.A. to hang out with some babes from the Los Angeles Temptation, one of the teams of the Lingerie Football League. This segment was apparently too hot for TV and ended up on the cutting room floor, but now you can watch it online as many times as you'd like.



Is it just me, or is this the happiest we've ever seen the Joker? Thanks to the lovely ladies of the Temptation and to the folks at Fanarchy for sharing this video.

Jorge Posada's wife Laura Posada is my new favorite MLB WAG

Laura Posada appeared on The Wendy Williams Show the other day. Not only is she an attorney (who knew!) but she mentioned she would put Jorge in check for his scuffle the other night. And she's got big boobs. What's not to love!

Louis Murphy's first touchdown for the Raiders

Just because the refs say it's not a touchdown doesn't mean it didn't happen. Last night I stayed in my Oakland apartment with the door locked for fear of riots.

Andre Berto questions Chad Ochocinco's black Mexicanship

Unless you've been living under a Twitter rock, you know that Andre Berto and Chad Ochocinco have been feuding and are planning to box each other after the NFL season. Berto talked about it in this week's Yardbarker segment on Fanarchy.



Stay tuned to Andre Berto's Yardbarker blog for more insight and insults.

Brendan Haywood's workout plan

I'm hitting the gym tonight, Brendan. Gotta work on my six-pack-shakur and stuff.



Haywood also filmed a video of basketball drills that you can see on his Yardbarker blog. I don't want to embed it here and get Jay-Z's awful "D.O.A." song in your head.

Alana G's DOMINOTE movement spreads to the NBA

As you may recall, I coined the word DOMINOTE a few months ago and it has enjoyed niche usage since then. Well, today the DOMINOTE movement goes primetime as both the NBA and NBA D-League have retweeted a Twitter post of mine using the word.

This is no photoshop job, you can read the NBA and NBA D-League tweets yourself. This was all started because of Rod Benson's excellent Internet Dominance song. Rod, can we get a remix? Internet DOMINOTION!

P.S. Follow me on Twitter (@alana_g).

Rod Benson dominates the internet, loves Yardbarker

I've always been a fan of basketball player Rod Benson and his hilarious songs. His latest is not only entertaining but also a brilliant PR move -- he shouts out many of the internet's best sports personalities and sites... including Yardbarker!

Thanks for the love, Rod. Let us love you back with links and publicity, even though you blog over at Yahoo! instead of Yardbarker. It's all love though. Collectively we DOMINOTE the internet. Boom Tho!!

Hat tip to Ridiculous Upside. (P.S. why didn't *I* get a Facebook message or email about this Rod, hmm?)

Thanks for the shout out, Marcellus Wiley

Our old friend Elie Seckbach caught up with Marcellus Wiley at the premiere of "The T.O. Show" (p.s. love the show!). The conversation starts out about Michael Vick, but in typical Seckbach fashion somehow segues into an Alana G shout out (at the 1:30 mark):



Thanks for the love, Marcellus. When are you starting a Yardbarker blog? You know you want one!

And thanks Elie, as always, for the video!
