10 Most Annoyingly Overplayed Stadium Songs


black-eyed peas

There some stadium songs that are just overkill. These are annoying.

Then there are certain tunes that make you wish homicide against the music director was legal. That’s what this list is.

What’s even worse is that these “jams” are supposed to make happy and care-free, to get you “into it.”

That’s kind of tough to do when what they’re blaring is something you’ve heard so many times it makes your ears bleed. The list that follows is the evil identical twin (Because both of these lists are evil) of the Five Most Annoying Stadium Sound Effects which we published last summer.

LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” has now gotten SO BAD, it deserves it’s own post. It’s probably more overplayed than all ten of these combined.

Gallery: Leryn Franco, hottest Olympian of 2012 Games


leryn-franco

Leryn Franco is a 29 year old Paraguayan model and javelin thrower. Javelin thrower? Javelinist? Javelin expert? Help me out here.

She will became an internet sensation again during the 2012 London Olympics. Welcome on yet another of our features to help you get ready for the games of London 2012. Franco is perhaps more famous for her hotness than athletic ability, and appeared in the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition. And that’s to be expected because more people care about Nerf hoops than javelin. Seriously, no one follows that sport.

Raised in the capital of Asunción, Franco broke the national records for the under 17 year age group in 1998 for both the javelin and triple jump. After winning bronze medals in 1999 and 2000 Franco won the South American Junior Championship javelin title in 2001. Franco was South American under 23 champion in 2004.

Playboy Playmate Julia Orayen owns Mexican Presidential debate (video)


julia-orayen

Who says politics is boring? The first 30 seconds of the first 2012 Mexican Presidential debate were dominated by big fake boobies in an inappropriate white cocktail dress, and it end up being the entire talk of the whole event.

Meet Julia Orayen, a former Playboy playmate, and her skin tight dress with a ton of cleavage showing. Orayen appeared as the usher for less than 20 seconds at the very beginning of the debate. According to Twitter, and the rest of the internet, it was long enough to steal the show.

But on the East Coast…meet hottie Amy Fadool
Here’s her vitals via her Twitter account
Sports Anchor/Reporter for Comcast SportsNet Philadelphia. Proudly attended University of Kentucky. Go Cats!

Hayden Panettiere gratuitous photo gallery


hayden-panetierre_cup

Hayden Panettiere is trending right now. Why? I don’t know I think it’s because of her cleavage. Or some other non-story pretending to be a media story. Who cares? Hayden’s played a cheerleader in movies, and she’s taken some nice pics with the Stanley Cup. And this is NHL postseason time, although no one here actually cares now that the Blackhawks are eliminated.

Anyways, this is a sports story, real shoe leather reporting here.

Overdue parody of HORRIBLE Zooey Deschanel iPhone commercial (video)


zooey-deschanel

Who greenlighted that GOD AWFUL  iPhone commercial with Zooey Deschanel? I didn’t know it possible to make such an attractive woman seem so loserish, annoying and utterly moronic in just 30 seconds.

Who on Earth could tolerate that incarnation of Deschanel (“Is that rain?” No you moron, a bunch of people decided to dump buckets of water outside your house, and just your house.) Fortunately, Funny or Die has their own parody of one of the worst commercials ever made.

ESPN’s Rachel Nichols: On the Job Picture Collection & Biography


Sports fans and media consumers everywhere used to joke that every time Brett Favre moved, sneezed, went to the bathroom or even breathed- ESPN’s Rachel Nichols was there. I’m speaking of course about Favre’s three year period in which he retired/unretired 1,298 times and held the media and fan bases of the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and New York Jets hostage.

Now the Nichols joke applies to the soon to be NBA champion Miami Heat. I guess her hair matches the team colors.

BTW, isn’t that screen grab above just priceless (photo credit here)
