Ashley Harkleroad Unveiled

Ashley Harkleroad

If you haven’t heard already, women’s tennis star Ashley Harkleroad is currently gracing the pages of Playboy magazine. Ashley is currently 65th on the WTA, but ranks much higher in our minds at SportsUnderground.com after hearing this fantastic news. We have to be honest as die hard as we are about sports we have never heard of Miss Harkleroad until now. We quickly began searching for pics on the web and saw a few that peeked our interest. I think moving forward we will be checking tournament results to see how she performs and hoping she climbs the ranks to battle Ivanovic or Sharapova. Has anyone seen the new mag? Thoughts?

Apparently so if you have ever seen his wife. They are like oil and vinegar…err…I mean peas and carrots if you ask me. Lena likes to live quite carefree based on a Google image search of her name.  I recommend checking it out sometime or maybe right now?  WOW!

Smokin or Broken?

It’s been awhile since we have played our fun little game so we thought this one should be a difficult decision. Dara Torres is in phenomenal shape for 41 years-old, but is it too much for her to be smokin? I think SU.com is leaning towards broken because no pun intended she might just break us. Thoughts?

Big Buzz Around the Hornets

James Posey

The New Orleans Hornets were seconds away from the Western Conference Finals this past season and definitely was one of the most improved teams in the NBA outside of the World Champion Boston Celtics. Well, the Hornets took a big step today in further improving their squad with the signing of unrestricted free agent small forward James Posey. Posey won a ring with the Celtics this past season and also won one in 2006 with the Miami Heat so he has excellent playoff experience. The Hornets and Posey agreed to a 4-year deal worth close to 25 million dollars today after reports Boston was only willing to extend a two to three year deal. Hat tip to Hornets management for picking up such a key player to come off the bench.

Dazed and Confused

Brad Miller

Brad Miller of the Sacramento Kings has been suspended for the first five games of the upcoming season for failing a drug test. The belief is the drug was marijuana because Miller has failed two other drug tests during his career because of smoking the chronic. Puff, puff, give Brad!

Corey Hart’s Kid Can’t Be Happy

Check out the vidoe clip below of Brewer’s teammates inappropriately celebrating the announcement of Corey Hart winning the public vote for the final National League All-Star spot. Is that really necessary with his cute little daughter in his lap?

Don’t Vote for the Stache

Jason Giambi moustache

There is a day and a half left in the All-Star voting over at MLB.com for the final two team members of the All-Star team to be announced. In the National League you can vote between Corey Hart, Carlos Lee, Aaron Rowand, David Wright and Pat Burrell. I think when it’s all said and done David Wright will get the final nod. In the American League you have Evan Longoria, Jermaine Dye, Jose Guillen, Brian Roberts and Jason “I wanna be a 70’s porn star” Giambi. Since growing the stache back in mid-May Jason Giambi’s production has blossomed along with a lot of hype from fans and media. Tomorrow night at Yankee Stadium they are even going to give out free moustaches to encourage fans to vote for him.

Yes, Giambi has 18 home runs and 53 RBI’s, but he is batting a paltry .256. I beg each and everyone of you to not fall for such a gimmicky promotion because this bum doesn’t belong in the All-Star game. Please vote Longoria!
