Real World DC

First Blonde Charity Mafia. Then Real Housewives of DC. Now, finally, Real World DC. The cauldron of sin the reality "stars" will call home sits comfortably at 20th and S. Close enough to Dupont, U St., Adams Morgan and Georgetown, the show is certain to feature lewd, crude and nude behavior. Filming starts this June. God help us all.

Where Amazing Happens

You've seen the NBA's "Where Amazing Happens" spots, but have you seen them for...

...Teen Wolf?



...or Hoosiers?

Game 7 -- Sudden Death

The Caps/Rangers game 7 finale is tonight. One can only hope it doesn't go to...sudden death.

NFL Draft



Mustache? Check.

Mullet? Check.

Laser, rocket arm? Check.

Jeff George? Nope, Matthew Stafford Sr.

The NFL Draft is tomorrow--a day where the air is crisp, the sun is bright, and the grass is green. A day where hope is renewed for every NFL team. Unfortunately, I'm going to the Jersey house that has no cable so I'll be refreshing ESPN's home page like crazy. When the Skins trade every pick next year for Mark Sanchez, please call/text me with your condolences.

Thank you.

Delhomme Signs Extension

What does five interceptions and one fumble get you in a meaningful playoff game? If you're Jake Delhomme, it nets you $42.5 million, $20 million guaranteed. Since Delhomme and the Panthers cost me millions ($20, actually) in my NFL playoff pick 'em pool, this doesn't please me one bit.

But Who Will Sex Mutombo?

Dikembe calls it quits.

Lindsay Soto

Gratuitous cleavage shot. Rob Niedermayer, you sly fox.

Wolverine

Wolverine premiers in a few weeks, and the trailer makes it seem like a pretty standard popcorn movie. However, I wonder if movie execs are concerned about Hugh Jackman's image after the Oscar's. His performance on stage was hardly what you would expect from an intimidating half-man, half-wolf character. Because when I think of Wolverine, I certainly think of song and dance routine.

Washington Natinals

That's some first class stitching.

NFL Draft Picks

Here are my predictions for the Top-10 draft picks as well as for the Skins.

Instead of predicting what players will go to what teams, I'll just list them in the order I think they'll be drafted.

1. Matthew Stafford -- The ghost of Joey "Joe Joe" Harrington might scare Detroit with this pick, but when you go 0-16, and Daunte Culpepper is your QB, you probably need a little upgrade at the position.

2. Jason Smith -- Either Smith or Monroe go in this spot. Rumor has it the Rams like Smith a bit more.

3. Aaron Curry -- Easiest call in the first round. The Chiefs need defensive playmakers, and Curry fits the bill.

4. Eugene Monroe -- Tough call between Sanchez and Monroe. In the end, a stud offensive tackle wins out over a junior QB.

5. Michael Crabtree -- The Browns organization is in total disarray, so I fully expect Crabtree--the draft's top playmaker--to be the pick here.

6. B.J. Raji -- Best defensive tackle on the board. Bengals really need defensive help.

7. Brian Orakpo -- The Raiders are slotted to pick in this spot, so all rational thought goes out the window. A speedy WR is the trendy pick here, but I say if Crabtree is off the board, the Raiders grab Orakpo.

8. Mark Sanchez -- The Jaguars trade out of this slot if they can find a partner (Jets, Bucs, Vikings). Even if they can't trade down, I'll say Sanchez is off the board by #8.

9. Aaron Maybin -- This guy is too good for the Pack to pass up.

10. Andre Smith -- A superior talent with a less than superior body (NSFW).

13. Redskins, I will flip out if I don't hear a defensive or offensive lineman's name called by Roger Goodell. If Mark Sanchez is still available, and you pick him, I'll need a restraining order for Chainsaw.

Possible picks:

1. Michael Oher - OT
2. Andre Smith - OT
3. Robert Ayers - DE
4. Tyson Jackson - DE

Any of these stud SEC lineman would look great in Burgundy and Gold. I'll say Sanchez, Smith and possibly Oher will be off the board when the Redskins pick.

Hoping they fall: Smith and Oher
Expecting they'll be there: Ayers and Jackson
Praying they don't pick: Sanchez

Pick: Robert Ayers.

Steven Seagal Trailers


Need to waste 10 minutes? Sink your teeth into these amazing Steven Seagal trailers.

Featuring Steven Seagal in...

Above the Law. Seagal stars as as Nico Tuscani, a rogue Chicago cop who discovers a web of police corruption.

Hard to Kill. Seagal stars as Mason Storm, a cop out for revenge.

Marked for Death. Seagal stars as John Hatcher, a good cop...in a bad mood. This time, he's bringing out the big guns.

Out For Justice. Seagal stars as Gino Felino, a Brooklyn cop on the hunt for an old childhood rival who killed his best friend. In that neighborhood, someone needs to take out the garbage.

Under Siege. Seagal stars as Casey Ryback, a cook on a hijacked Navy ship who prevents Nuclear armageddon.

Under Siege 2: Dark Territory. Seagal returns as Casey Ryback, this time on a train instead of a boat. Ryback attempts to foil a mad scientist out to hijack a satellite weapon.

Under Siege was probably the greatest Seagal flick, and certainly his most successful. Co-starring Tommy Lee Jones, Gary Busey and Eddie Bo Smith, Jr. (Copeland from The Fugitive), why wouldn't it be?

Lions Take Matthew Stafford

Not sure if this is legit or not. Either way, the Rams are on the clock.

Joba Chamberlain "Blasts" New York

I saw the headline, watched the video and wished I had those two minutes back in my life. Joba was stopped for a DUI, and proceeded to have a conversation with the officer about New York. Basically, he just says New Yorkers are rude and won't hold the door for him or say "Thank You." I would hardly call that "blasting" New York, but people will do anything to sell newspapers I suppose.

The Soldier Signs Record Deal

Because if the KC Chiefs proved anything, you can't win without a marquee TE. Disappointed Cooley didn't get the distinction of being highest paid TE in history.

Baseball Predictions

Baseball season is upon us and you know what that means...only five more months until football season! And here are my baseball predictions for the upcoming season.

AL East
Winner: Boston Red Sawx
Wild Card: Tampa Bay Rays

AL Central
Winner: Minnesota Twins

AL West
Winner: Anaheim of California of Los Angeles Angels.

NL East

World Series: Mets over Rays

AL MVP - Grady Sizemore
AL Cy Young - Roy Halladay
AL ROY - Matt Wieters

NL MVP - Albert Pujols
NL CY Young - Johan Santana
NL ROY - Cameron Maybin

A few other predictions:

1. The Washington Nationals shatter the record for fewest number of wins in a season, a mark previously set by the 1899 Cleveland Spiders (20-134).

2. CC Sabathia channels his inner Babe Ruth and eats hot dogs during Yankees games, much to the delight of the crowd.

3. Yankees fans riot when they are forced to pay $20 for a beer/hot dog combo.

4. The Orioles are in year-12 of "rebuilding" mode.
