Bear Grylls

If you haven’t seen this guy, he hosts Man Vs. Nature: A show that teaches you to survive in the wild, from a first person perspective. Basically, Bear goes into the wilderness with a knife some clothes and manages to survive off whatever he can find. It would be more realistic, if the camera crew wasn’t following him the whole time. Surviving in the wild isn’t that same if you have people with you that have cameras and are fully equipped for the environment. As viewers, we have no idea what Bear Grylls does when he’s not commentating; he could be relaxing in a nice spa and film segments of his show. I don’t doubt that’s what he does, because there have been reports out there that he’s a total fraud.
Besides the reality of this show, it gets really repetitive fast: Bear Grylls says almost the same things in every episode. Whenever he has time, he’ll tell you a story about how someone died in the wilderness, and how he’ll teach you how to avoid that. Watch one episode and count how many times he says “JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO”…

Yao Ming Olympic Shoes
Congratulations Reebok, you have created the ugliest shoe in history and have scared away any potential deals to Nike, Adidas, and possibly Skechers. Reebok really sucks.

Tiger Woods Slows the Stock Market

If you haven’t heard about the greatest U.S. Open in history this weekend then get the hell off the site. For everyone else, wasn’t it amazing? Tiger came back from 2 months without playing competetive golf and fought through a hurt knee (which may now need microfracture surgery, possibly ruining his career) to beat unknown Rocco Mediate in sudden death.
The stock market has averaged 781.5 million shares traded for the last 30 months, and dropped yesterday an astounding 9% to 709.9 million. He may be the only person on Earth that could drop the market that low, which is why sports are amazing.
