It's one of those infomercials that catches you at 2 a.m. and won't let you go.
The Shake Weight has stirred plenty of parodies thanks to its unique form of exercise.
"Saturday Night Live" parodied it on this week's show, highlighting the more ... um, shall we say R-rated uses for the device.
Now, Charles Barkley has gotten in on the action.Begin Slideshow
Five Things Cleveland Indians Fans Should Stop Complaining About
Posted: 21st April 2010 by Lewie Pollis in MLB
It shouldn't surprise anyone that Clevelanders love to complain.
We certainly have just cause: with rampant unemployment and poverty, miserable weather, and heartbreaking sports teams, Forbes recently named us the most miserable city in America.
But as I listened to the increasingly drunk fans sitting behind me at Progressive Field the other night (they were pretty loud, it was kind of hard not to), I realized that some of their beefs really ...
Boston Red Sox News And Notes: David Ortiz Showing His Age
Posted: 21st April 2010 by Adam Bernacchio in MLB
Many of you have been asking me how come I have not written about the Boston Red Sox slow start to 2010. The reason I have not written about the team yet is because I wanted to gather all my thoughts and really think about what has happened so far.
If I wrote about how I really felt at times, then something like “I would love to punch J.D. Drew in ...
New York Mets’ David Wright, Jason Bay Need to Get on Board for Mets to Succeed
Posted: 21st April 2010 by Michael Fitzpatrick in MLB
In typical New York Mets fashion, the opposite of what was expected is now becoming a reality.
If someone were to tell you last February that Jason Bay and David Wright would be the problem during the early days of the 2010 season and not the pitching staff, you would have probably looked at them as if they had spent the last 12 months on the moon.
But as we should have ...
2010 NFL Draft: 25 Reasons You Will Watch The Spectacle Unfold
Posted: 21st April 2010 by Brian DiTullio in NFL
The Big Show starts tomorrow night, running for three days as the NFL takes an event that used to be seen as a pretty boring and turned it into one of the biggest spectacles on television.
Think about it, it's three days of guys in suits announcing the names of other guys in suits who then walk up on stage and pose with a shirt.
When put like that, it sounds worse ...
NBA Free Agency Watch: The Top Three Destinations for Carlos Boozer
Posted: 21st April 2010 by Dr. Trade in NBA
While Carlos Boozer may not have quite the impact or clout of a LeBron James or Dwayne Wade, he certainly stands to benefit from the bidding wars that will surround those elite players this offseason.
Still, let's not diminish this guy's accomplishments either. When healthy, Boozer is one of the few automatic low-post scoring threats in the league. He's a "20 and 10" machine whose finishing and off the ball movements ...
Houston Texans 2010 NFL Mock Draft: Make or Break for the Texans
Posted: 21st April 2010 by Jacob Cordova in NFL
We all remember the days of David Carr and the Houston Texans (Please don’t remind me). Luckily, it seems like those days are behind us and the Texans are headed down a much brighter path. They finally finished their first winning season and seem to have a different attitude in the locker room.
The 2010 NFL draft is going to be huge for the Texans. They have some big needs to ...
Who Do The Giants and Jets Play in 2010? Take a Look.
Posted: 21st April 2010 by Double G Sports in NFL
The NFL announced the 2010 season schedules last night. As expected, the Giants will play the first game at the new stadium in Week 1 while the Jets will play the following day at home on Monday Night Football. Also of note, all Week 17 games this season are divisional contests. The NFL is hoping this is a step toward teams playing meaningful games at the end of the season. ...
We're only two months away from the NBA draft, and while 16 teams are in the playoffs battling for an NBA championship, the other 14 are at home, Tweeting, and thinking about the help their teams will get in the draft this June.
The top two picks are pretty squared away, no matter what madness happens with the draft lottery in May. There's a second tier of three guys who ...
New York Jets’ 2010 NFL Schedule: Players Visiting Revis Island This Year
Posted: 21st April 2010 by Ryan Steck in NFL
Meet Darrelle Revis, cornerback for the New York Jets.
Last year Revis went up against some of the league's best receivers, and shut down ever single one of them.
They say every player has a bad day, but that rule never applies to Revis. After manning up against the league's best and handling them all, New York gave their star a nickname, 'Revis Island."
Perfection is what he strives for, and this year ...
