I’m sure there are plenty of college football fans in Alabama that can relate to this kid.
Watch as this little boy from Oklahoma begins to lose his cool after his favorite NBA team, the Oklahoma City Thunder, lose Game 3 of the NBA Finals to the Miami Heat.

Moon Taxi, the Nashville-based jam rock band, is seemingly inching closer to stardom with every performance.
Their latest stop was in Manchester, Tenn. last weekend for the annual Bonnaroo Music and Arts Festival — a first for the up-and-coming band. They didn’t disappoint.
Watch the videos, and one will be hard pressed not to see the talent and potential these guys have as they continue their long journey to becoming a household name. Bonnaroo might have been just the taxi they needed to make it to the moon.
Interesting Observation: In the first video, watch the guy in the bottom left corner of the screen at the 4:17 mark. Think that is advil he washes down with his beer?

LeBron James was red hot tonight, blistering the Boston Celtics for 45 points and 15 rebounds. So hot in fact, one Celtics fan thought he could use a cold beer shower to cool him off.
James brushed off the incident like a champ. If he has a similar performance on Saturday night, he might get another beer shower. Only this time, it will be from his teammates while they celebrate an Eastern Conference championship.

Alabama head basketball coach can finally breathe a sigh of relief.
Five-star basketball recruit Dovonta Pollard committed to play for Grant and the Crimson Tide today after a long drawn-out recruiting process that began with the elite prospect leaning towards attending Mississippi State. That all changed when Rick Stansbury was fired, opening the door for Alabama to woo him to Tuscaloosa. The 6-foot-7, 190-pound small forward from Porterville, Miss. chose Alabama over Texas, Georgetown, Missouri and LSU.
Rivals lists him as the 22nd best player in the country and 7th best player at his position. Mississippi’s Mr. Basketball averaged 23.8 points, 15.7 rebounds and 5.1 blocked shots this season.
Pollard is Grant’s first and only commitment from the 2012 class.
The boy is obviously too young to understand what he is actually saying, but the reactions from the adults in the crowd, as well as the preacher, are unequivocally disgusting. Despite what your stance may be on homosexuality, this video should make you cringe.
It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to realize that the innocent young boy was put up to this act by his ignorant, prejudice parents, and that’s what makes it so despicable. From the angle of the camera, it is likely that the video didn’t come from his parents, as they were probably front and center for the performance, mouthing the words in case he forgot the lyrics. The incredulous person who did film it and idiotically decided to post it on YouTube for the entire world to see, exploiting the child in the process, is just as repulsive as the song in and of itself.
The latest YouTube video going viral is a little kid waking up from surgery on his broken arm. He is obviously still doped up on pain medicine, and he has some funny responses to his giggling mother filming the event.
The video ends with the drugged-up boy telling his visitors “I just farted.”

The former Alabama safety could have made the leap to the NFL after the 2010 season, but opted to stick around for another year to heal a pectoral muscle injury and improve his draft stock — and improved he did.
“From a business perspective, financially, guys that get drafted in the first round get paid quite a bit of money. But if you get drafted in the second or third round, you don’t get paid quite as much money, and you can’t enhance your chances of coming back.” Saban said during Tuesday’s SEC conference call. “Just look at Mark Barron. Last year, being injured, he may have been a late first round or early second round draft pick, now he is probably going to get picked in the top 15. That’s 10 or 15 more million dollars he made by coming back to school, plus he graduated. Plus, when he can’t play anymore, he will have much better chance to be successful in life. From a business standpoint. I thought it was a really good model for players to try and follow.”
Many experts have Barron pegged to be drafted 14th overall by the Dallas Cowboys, a team with an owner in Jerry Jones that dishes out mammoth, million dollar contracts like sticks of gum. Last year’s 14th overall pick, Robert Quinn, received a 4-year deal worth around $10 million.
Barron won’t be the only former Crimson Tide player skyrocketing up the tax brackets. Running back Trent Richardson is set to be a top-five pick in a couple days, and can expect a deal worth around $20 million over four years. Cornerback Dre Kirkpatrick and linebacker Courtney Upshaw are projected to be off the board by pick 24, where linebacker Dont’a Hightower is projected to be drafted by the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last year’s 24th pick, Cameron Jordan, signed his rookie contract for an estimated $7.7 million. If the Mel Kiper’s and Todd McShay’s of the world are correct in their projections, Alabama’s five draftees could combine to earn over $50 million from their rookie contracts.
Nick Saban makes millions of dollars as the head coach at Alabama, but he is making his players millions more.
