Jockey's-Eye View Of The Horse Race

Ever wonder how a jockey's workday goes? Well now you pretty much know John Velazquez's day at the office is a lot like yours: if you're not leading, you're having to stare at a pack of horses' asses.

Watch Oakland's Coliseum Go From Green and Gold To Black Hole

Sunday's Raiders game had to be moved to 8:35 PT to accommodate the transformation from baseball park to football stadium. As the above time-lapse shows, it's more than just pulling out bleachers like your local high school gym. For a more detailed explanation, see the BBC report below.

This Is The Greatest Play Of The 2013 Baseball Season

Yes, this is what is now considered "The Buttslide." During the first inning of Tuesday's game, Astro Jonathon Villar slid head-first towards second base. But Cincinnati/s Brandon Phillips was waiting with the tag of all tags, as Villar got a nice face full of ass. And it's not 1920: it's 2013, with HD cameras and the internet in full swing. And if MLB.com's got the video, then you know this video will be with Villar for the rest of his life.

Matt Harvey Can Go F*ck Himself

Here's the rules of how most sports radio interviews work (as well as pretty much every interview on the news, television, and magazines):
1. You're a person of interest that a radio show would like to talk to. You have endorsements from companies that would like for you to promote them. So a radio show will offer you the opportunity to promote your endorsements, as long as they can ask questions about how interesting you are.
2 - Be interesting, so that this radio show, as well as any other shows in this copycat business, will want to bring you back on. This will allow you more opportunities to promote your endorsements, making you a popular choice for future endorsers.
3 - Remember that no show wants to book you so you can just talk about your product: that would basically be a commercial. And radio would prefer a company to simply pay money to advertise for their show. That's why one third of an hour is left open to commercials: and national shows leave about 80% of that ad space for their local stations, which means that's a minute of precious ad time that they'd like your endorser to purchase.
4 - If you're a genuine asshat who wants to do an ad your endorser isn't paying for, a radio show will be less likely to have you back on, which means less opportunities to promote your endorsements. And if you can't promote your endorsements, they will be less inclined to pay you for them.
5 - If you're a colossal fuckdick who hasn't paid attention to rules 1-4, and you decide to go on a national show and do an ad, try not to be beligerent and try to have a coherent and interesting read.
6 - Always remember that it's not your show: the host reserves the right to hang up on your inept ass and clown both you and your company afterwards. Which is what a decorated name-brand pro like Dan Patrick will do. He's been working his game well before you were shitting your Pampers, and considering you're a Met, will probably be well known well after you're gone.
So congratulations, shithead. Enjoy having your ass deservedly handed to you.

Why Can't Bay Area Fans Just Chill?

Sunday evening, a fan ran onto the field at Candlestick Park during a preseason tilt between the Vikings and 49ers. That wouldn't be so bad, except there were two more invaders, and nearby police in the parking lot were brought into the stadium to maintain crowd control. It hasn't been a good month for Bay Area fans: earlier this month, a Giants fan threw a banana at black Orioles OF Adam Jones, and a fan invaded the pitch of an Everton-Juventus preseason match at AT&T Park.



Of course, these were lighthearted incidents for Bay Area fans. More after the jump.

Red Bull's Slow-Mo Pit Stop

Red Bull's Formula 1 team does an awesome job on the internet, with insider videos and cool stunts like driving a car at speed through the Lincoln Tunnel and running around the Circuit of the America's when it was still dirt. Now they've broken down their record pit stops in slow motion.

This internet spoof is classic, but it fails miserably on one thing: where's Crime Dog and his five-inch high trucker cap?

Prime Directive #5 - Score Chicken Nuggets

Commercials from foreign lands are already weird with odd celebrity cameos, but RoboCop breaking into a house and jacking an icebox for some chicken nuggets just stands out. Probably because it's dead-on with all the capitalism parodies you see in the first films.
Prime Directive #6 - For relaxing times, make it Suntory time.

DudeBros Riot At Surfing Tournament

No one knows what made these DudeBros go ape at the U.S. Open of Surfing in Huntington Beach, California. Perhaps local stores had run of Axe Body Spray or shirts that come with the sleeves already cut off. Maybe officials banned barbed-wire tats or Ed Hardy shirts. Perhaps they were upset at being unable to park their tricked out Honda Civic, or their slammed Chevrolet Silverado's with the fart can. Or maybe their girlfriends couldn't come so they had to swing at somebody. Either way, things went sideways in SoCal Sunday.

Boat Launch Fail

NOAA launched one of their ships, the Reuben Lasker, a year ago this month. This was the video released following the launch.



Before you say "but the ship didn't tip over," watch this video, which is making the Reddit rounds now.



According to Reddit, the woman who filmed this is alive. Apparently, the shipyard used wooden rails instead of steel ones to launch the boat, and you can see how that worked.

You may now commence your "government in action" jokes.
