Posted on May 23, 2011 by Bernard Oliver| Leave a comment

If you know me, you know I’m not just a sports reporting robot. If you don’t know me, well now you know and knowledge is power! So I got caught up on my South Park this past weekend while watching the Miami Heat vs Chicago Bulls series. Here’s Trey Parker & Matt Stone’s interpretation of Lebron Fans.

Lebron Fans

 

While we’re on NBA, did you guys see that flopping acting job by Harden this weekend?

It looks real here but it's not...trust me dude deserves an Academy Award

Here’s the flop in real time:

 

I CAN NOT STAND FLOPPERS! But the refs have been pretty accommodating letting the players play the game in the Eastern & Western Conference finals.

 

Nice. Is he happy he's being slapped???

Let's get Physical!

On today’s Off the Mat Bernard and Jeremy return with a vengeance! Well not a vengeance but they do bring you the latest news in MMA: Injuries. They are dropping like flies during training which is normal in MMA. But when it takes away not one but two main events it presents a problem.  Shane Carwin steps up to fill Brock Lesnar‘s shoes and it may prove to be a better fight than Lesnar vs Dos Santos would’ve ever been. We also talked TUF 13 and Jeremy’s views on this seasons lack of moxie in the ring.

Today Tj interviewed the multi-talented, two time KO of the night winner Gerald “Hurricane” Harris. In the interview Harris spoke on where his nickname comes from,  the fact that he can seriously still whoop someone with one hand behind his back and his future in the world of MMA and getting back into the UFC.

Harris is conducting a boot camp that will whip you into cage fighter shape in just 6-8 weeks. Details on that can be seen here.

WTFive O’clock – C’MON MAN!!!

Posted on May 19, 2011 by Bernard Oliver| Leave a comment

So as you guys know I’m really big into Twitter and Facebook which is why I run them for the show.  One of the radio personalities I follow, DJ Devi Dev, hosts  on 97.9 the Box in Houston, TX.  She got a call from a listener that just makes you want to quote Monday Night Football,  for saying Tupac was Christ on Earth…”C’MON MAN”.

Click here to here or the picture below to hear the call.

Now I don’t know about all that but I’m going to disagree. DJ Devi Dev got a laugh out of it. Check out her blog and website while you’re there.

DJ Devi Dev looking like DJ E-Yo from our show...except that she's gorgeous lol. Sorry Eric

Speaking of C’MON Man it seems my Cowboys were always on that segment. In case you didn’t get my reference from before &  since I’m starving for football right now, I’ll throw you guys a bone. Here’s ESPN’s C’MON Man Segment from Week 8 last season.

That’s it for today guys listen in to the rest of the show! Just click Listen Live.

Tj & Eric are convinced that I’m racist when it is actually exactly the opposite. I love all people of all races, and ladies Bernard is single.  So I feel like the white lady in this video…except that I’m a man…not white…and at a studio, not on a blind date…with a man…just watch

Just because we all do this at the studio:

Yeah you guys are...mean

Awesome

NFL Lockout Giving Players Time to Breath

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Bernard Oliver| 1 Comment

By Bernard L. Oliver

If you’re like me then the NFL Lockout has made you not even want to speak about next season. With the NFL Draft over who even cares about the debacle going on between the players union and the owners of the NFL franchises. With twitter connecting us to any and every athlete on Earth, I’ve noticed some players are removing themselves from all humbug and politics surrounding the lockout.

I’m sure by now you’ve heard of Chad Ocho Cinco playing for Sporting KC in Major League Soccer. He’s gone on record saying that training with the team is the best workout he could ask for during these trying times. After try outs  Ocho Cinco was placed on the reserve team and seemed to be content with the decision considering he hadn’t played soccer since high school.

Chuck "Iceman" Liddell showing he can still bang with big man Clay Matthews

Clay Matthews of the Green Bay Packers recently tweeted “Epic workout w/ The ICEMAN @ChuckLiddell 2day. He beat the shhh out of me!! #bucketlist”. Not only does he have hair women find irresistible, and some of the meanest sacks in the NFL but he also trains in MMA? Man better watch out for that dude.

Is this how Shaq envisioned his statue

Or maybe this?

Okay so it’s time for our second installment of WTFive o’clock. Here’s to hoping you enjoy this one more.

Is this a possibility??? A photoshopped Dwight we found say it aint so

Internet Memes were introduced to me by Eric Olson a few months ago.

Which led to me finding this little morsel below!

There are about five million variations of “La Caida de Edgar” or The Fall of Edgar in english. Yes I know my spanish…sort of. They include but are not limited to, light sabers, and a hysterical Street Fighter reference
