Blogs With Balls Radio, Episode 18


This week’s Blogs With Balls Show on the JoeSportsFan Radio Network is now available.

Download Episode 18 here, or subscribe via iTunes.




Today we celebrate the godliness of New Orleans Saint Tracey Porter.

And are reminiscent of Calvin Pace's early words of praise to us for Rex Ryan.

HHR @ NFL Draft Classic - Calvin Pace and the Defensive Mastermind from HHR on Vimeo.

Shifting gears from NFL playoff and Super Bowl talk, we bring on guest Lang Whitaker, executive editor at SLAM Magazine, columnist at Hawks.com and author of a forthcoming memoir on Bobby Cox and growing up a Braves fan.


Lang talks about the unique relationship the magazine was able to develop with the NBA's biggest stars and teams.

As someone who dabbles and excels in and on so many platforms, Lang brings insight to how writing in general is affected by the immediacy of the Internet age:

"The more you write online, the better a writer it makes you. You learn to deal with immediate reactions from people. You understand what the audience looks for in stories...But at the same time, I learned a long time ago you cant 100% give in to what people want you to do. At some point you stay true to yourself and you hope the audience likes what you're doing."
Keep an eye out for Searching for Bobby Cox, due out February 2011, which is a Julie and Julia-esq memoir of lessons Lang's "learned about life by watching Bobby Cox managing the Braves."

Did Tiger Get Juiced?

No, I'm not referring to his alleged use of imported PEDs. I'm talking about his sinister-looking, ski-capped Vanity Fair cover shots that are all the buzz in relation to the infamous June 1994 Time OJ cover.

To be frank, the first thing I thought when I saw the Tiger cover was that the Cablasian never looked so, well, dark before - figuratively and literally. I mean aside from the actual color tones, the hat and the weights give the impression he's banging iron out in a prison rec yard.

While Time admitted to altering the original photograph to give Simpson a more "menacing" look, critics cried foul and racism, which lead to a public apology by the news magazine.

The Tiger shots may or may not have been altered, but it is clear that Vanity Fair was looking to paint Woods in the wake of his on going scandal as the antithesis of the wholesome hero he was once built up to be

Whether Vanity Fair intended for any sort of racial undertones is irrelevant. I have no doubt someone will play that card.

Wait a minute. I might have just done so.

"Henderson here..."


From Dan Patrick in this week's SI, Hall of Famer Rickey Henderson offers the patron saint some humbling recognition:

Broadcaster Harold Reynolds told me a good Rickey story last week. In 1987, when Henderson missed a chunk of the season with an injury, Reynolds led the AL with 60 stolen bases for the Mariners. After the season Reynolds got a call from Henderson: "The phone rings. 'Henderson here.' I say, 'Hey, what's going on, Rickey?' I think he's calling to congratulate me, but he goes, 'Sixty stolen bases? You ought to be ashamed. Rickey would have 60 at the break.' And then click, he hung up."

Scrub Receiver Finally Marries Hef's Leftovers

Determined not to have their first child grow up a bastard, pregnant ex-Girl Next Door Kendra Wilkinson married Eagles wideout Hank "Why Doesn't Andy Throw Him the Fade Route in the Red Zone" Baskett on June 27.

This week's US Weekly has a plethora of official wedding photos, and the lovely couple even graces the cover.


The pair have come a long way since the exhibitionist's September 2008 MySpace denial of their relationship:


yaaaa trick yaaaaaa
Current mood: aroused


hiiiiii just wanna let yall know that i am not engaged! if i was id be very happy though n i wouldnt hide it..hahahahaha!!!!! rumors are sooooooooo fuckin funny. yaa trickk yaaaaaa lololol!! Love is a beautiful thing n i think the world needs more of it. lol..

In the most shocking turn of events, however, video evidence suggests that, despite prior rumors that Kendra's ex Hugh Hefner would be giving away the bride, it appears that "honor" instead went to the Playmate's brother Collin.



All in all it seems the newlyweds are determined to do things the proper, traditional way, and we at HHR wish them all the best in what will no doubt be a long, loving, fulfilling marriage.

Just His Type?

Either I can't read or DP can't write. (Maybe he's just too smitten with Psycho T.)

Mediocre Linebacker to Intern at Chick Mag


Following the in the footsteps of Sean "Creamy Thighs" Avery, Eagles middle linebacker Stewart "Angel Eyes" Bradley will be shedding his "manly" image to intern at a women's fashion mag.

From WWDMedia.com:
As for the linebacker, meet Stewart Bradley, Elle’s newest intern. The Philadelphia Eagle started Tuesday in the fashion department and seemed at home among the stylish set, quickly rattling off the credits for his ensemble (PRPS jeans, Diesel shirt and PF Flyers kicks). But don’t assume he’s following in former New York Ranger/Vogue intern Sean Avery’s footsteps — even if one of his co-workers accidentally called him Sean. “I’m much nicer than Sean,” Bradley said.
Obviously, these publications are not learning from their mistakes. Shortly after Avery's internship, Vogue's parent company Conde Nast went on to make deep company-wide cuts. Coincidence?

If the "Avery Factor" holds true, look for "Stewart Bradley is gay" rumors to surface soon, for him to call out and belittle former love interests, and for the Eagles to release Bradley. One can only hope.
