This is Hines Ward’s moderately tan dance partner Kym Johnson, who more than made up for her boogying companion’s insistence on channeling 1982 Richard Gere last night. Kym is from Australia, has a deep understanding of what qualifies as a woody-inducing-outfit, and appears to keep herself in scrumptious shape at the ripe age of 34.]]> http://www.thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/04/19/hines-ward-is-smiling-brightly-with-good-reason/feed/ 6 http://www.thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/04/18/bobby-v-marv-albert-debut-matching-hair-frosts/ http://www.thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/04/18/bobby-v-marv-albert-debut-matching-hair-frosts/#comments Mon, 18 Apr 2011 11:45:39 +0000 Tim Ryan http://thebiglead.com/?p=90497
Whether or not Marv Albert has thrown the begs of his soul onto the Just For Men wagon, or whether Bobby Valentine’s attempts to look a lot like Marv are genuine, I strongly believe that these two clowns have stolen hair from sitcom legend, Alf. On that swirly note, good morning.

LeBron James was welcomed back to Cleveland last night by two of the most hostile slices of Road Beef he’ll ever see. One wore an “I Witnessed Nothing” t-shirt and flipped him the double-bird while her enraged counterpart channeled the Jerry Springer set. Whatever they did worked, because the Cavs amazingly won by a score [...]]]> http://www.thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/03/30/cleveland-hottie-greets-lebron-with-double-bird-action/feed/ 19 http://www.thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/03/23/orange-vampire-spotted-at-suns-lakers-game/ http://www.thebiglead.com/index.php/2011/03/23/orange-vampire-spotted-at-suns-lakers-game/#comments Wed, 23 Mar 2011 11:45:36 +0000 Tim Ryan http://thebiglead.com/?p=86302
This ablaze gentleman pictured at right, who presumably roots for the Phoenix Suns, appears to be one of two things: A thoroughly creepy Ric Bucher/vampire hybrid, or Alby Grant’s secret brother from the now defunct, Big Love.

This charming photograph comes courtesy of Steve Nash’s twitter feed.

Deron Williams hit a decisive three-pointer last night against the Boston Celtics, leading New Jersey to a surprising 88-79 victory. What followed was a pink and blue polo, glorious man-teets, a primal scream, and an extremely pleasant evening in the Baccalieri household. Everyone went home a winner, even the Nets. Mesmerizing Gif after the jump.

Chris Dudley, the former Knick, Net, Blazer and all around heartbreaker appeared on a reader’s television screen the other night along with the words, “NBA Legend.” I took a quick look at the numbers.

Why publish this obscene photo? Because NFL players wearing matching suspenders and holding hands at a swing set will probably never happen again. I imagine Tiki and Ronde still get crap for this on a daily basis. If they don’t, they should.

When your “big three” is shooting 5% when trailing by three or fewer in game ending situations, covering your face and counting to ten so everyone has a chance to hide isn’t a bad thought, it’s just a shame no one’s hiding.

This is the latest we’ve heard on injured Lakers forward Matt Barnes: Barnes participated in a full practice without the aid of a brace on his surgically repaired right knee Thursday.

The robust Kansas cleavage that made a number of pleasant appearances on our televisions last night was a stark reminder that Big 12 Poon has not been updated since September of 2007. That’s just not right. Thankfully, Bobby Knight eventually snapped out of the powerful boob hypnosis.

Chris Bosh returned to his old stomping grounds in Toronto last night with a level head and firm grip on things, finishing with 25 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists, and a steal.

Last night ESPN tested out an overhead camera during the Mississipi State-Kentucky game. Outside of former Sixers owner Pat Croce, it’s safe to say no one enjoyed the uneasy bird’s eye viewing experience.

When concerned referees congregate at the scorer’s table to review a play and ensure they got things right, drawing a lewd arrow across their asses while they do so is probably not the most appropriate, appreciative form of action.
