Da Bear Necessities. That was the winner of the poll that many of you voted in this past week.
Technically "The Bear Necessities" won, but somebody's already parked a domain for that, as well as one for just "Bear Necessities". And I'm not going to pay some asshat a lot of money for those like they'd surely demand.
So, "Da Bear Necessities" is what I went with, which I actually think I like even more(my sister suggested that originally by the way, so props to her). Additionally "Da Blog" finished second in the poll, so we're at least going to have the "Da" around for those that voted for that one.
As for when the blog will be launched... that's still a work in progress. Hell, I'm trying to figure out what layout theme to use(maybe like this and The Friendly Blogfines, but it might be difficult with the banner we're planning on). Hopefully we'll get it set up in the next few days though.
Until then, I've at least set up a Twitter account for it. So those of you that have been following my Thigh Twitter account and getting extremely annoyed by my constant Bears tweets during free agency can rejoice.
My Bears blog Twitter name is... @DaBearNecess
Wait, what? Well unfortunately DaBearNecessities is too many characters(Damn you, Twitter!), and BearNecessities is already in use. So that's the best I could do. Anyway, if you're a Bears fan or NFL fan, feel free to follow me.
Thanks to all of you who voted, and I hope you like the name.

When I posted the amazing "Melanie Iglesias Flip Book" video a few days ago, I hinted at Melanie Iglesias getting a "Thigh of the Week" soon. Welp, here you go.All you really need to know about Melanie is that she was Maxim's 2010 Hometown Hotties member, and that she is a World Poker Tour "Royal Flush Girl". Anyway, here's more pics, and even a video at the bottom:

Last year, I wanted to create a Chicago Bears blog, much like the Chicago Cubs blog I have. I spent hours trying to think up a good name for the blog, and the best names I came up with were Monsters of the Blogway and Super Blog Shuffle. I wasn't completely sold on either name though, and I finally just gave up like the lazy jackass I am.
UPDATE: We have a winner.
Well today, I was tweeting away a ton about the Bears, as the first day of free agency started. And I likely annoyed many of you. So I finally decided, yeah, I need to start a Bears blog, and put my thoughts there(And/or the Twitter account I'll have for it), rather than annoying all of you on Twitter that could give a rat's ass about the Bears.
I also then decided that I'd get all of you involved to help think up a name for the blog, so that I know for sure that I, and you, will be satisfied with the choice. What I did was take a ton of blog name nominations on Twitter, and pick what I thought were the best of those(And all of you that contributed did a terrific job. Shake it off if one of your suggestions isn't on here), and created a poll featuring them.
So, you'll get to vote for what you think I should name the blog. I'll leave up the poll for at least a week or until there's a clear winner.
And before you vote, let me explain the meaning of a few of the suggestions that you may not fully understand...
The Bear Necessities: As in the song "The Bare Necessities", from the Disney movie The Jungle Book. The plan for our banner would then be to feature Baloo, a bear in the movie that is singing the song, wearing a Bears jersey.
Between The Gould Posts: Using the name of Bears kicker Robbie Gould and the field goal posts that he of course kicks through.
Cutler's Sigh: Mocking the displeasure that Bears quarterback Jay Cutler frequently displays, and using a word that rhymes with "Sharapova's Thigh".
Da Blog: As in "Da Bears!"
The Halas Grail: As in "The Holy Grail", and featuring the name of George Halas, a legendary former player, coach, and owner of the Bears.
Hurricane Ditka: From an SNL sketch, where the "Super Fans" asked who would win in a fight between a hurricane and former Bears player and coach Mike Ditka, and one of them answered, "What if the hurricane's named is Ditka?"
Matt's Forte: Pretty easy to figure out if you watch much football. Matt Forte is the Bears running back, and my name is of course Matt as well, so it could work for both myself as the writer and the Bears.
Monsters Of The Blogway: As in "Monsters of the Midway", which the Bears are frequently referred to, and it's a similar way of going about the name as we did with "The Friendly Blogfines".
Payton's Place: As in the late, great Bears running back, Walter Payton.
Resurrect Luckman: As in former Bears quarterback Sid Luckman... who played before most all of us were born. He was good, and pretty much every Bears quarterback since him has been crap.
Robbie Gould, Jerry!: Using Robbie Gould and Kenny Banja's frequent "That's gold, Jerry" comment to Jerry Seinfeld in Seinfeld. This was my suggestion.
UPDATE: We have a winner.
And about what you should get for just planking in general:
End the planking; start the leisure diving.

I could've sworn we'd featured this babe Melanie Iglesias on here before, but apparently not. I'm thinking she deserves some Thigh of the Week honors in the very near future. And after you see this video, I think you'll agree:

While the Shaq may have retired, we have a new Shaq in the basketball world to enjoy. His full name is Shaquille Johnson, and he's a senior high school player out of Milton High School in Georgia.
Overall as a player, Shaq's game has plenty of room for improvement, and he's committed to Auburn, which isn't exactly a top collegiate basketball program. But there's one thing that separates him from the rest of high school ballers: He's an absolutely INCREDIBLE dunker.
Here's a few videos to prove that:
Let's hope he's in the NCAA Slam Dunk Contest for all four of his college years.

On July 12th, I posted about The Miami New Times releasing Jose Canseco's cell phone number to the public. Why did they do that? Well, Canseco released the number of his ex-girlfriend, Leila, on Twitter, in addition to talking a lot of shit about her on there. So The Miami New Times contacted Leila about the situation:
And guess what? He's flipping out about her again on Twitter:
Jose Canseco being a classy, charming gentleman as always.
We spoke with his ex. She said she's been getting so many calls and texts offering to trade her drugs for sex that Verizon called her to ask why there was a sudden spike in activity.Then they contacted Canseco about this, and he was a complete ass to them, to the surprise of nobody. So, they finally decided to release his number, just like he did with Leila's.

For whatever reason, this video is currrently on the front page of Reddit Videos, even though it took place in 2008:
I certainly remember those throws. In fact, I was even watching that game, which is no surprise since I of course live in Denver. Those were two of the best throws I've ever seen from an outfielder, especially the last one. And they took place in the same damn game!

Of course, as good as the throw from the left-center field warning track to third base was, I still don't think it's the best throw I've seen an outfielder make at Coors Field even. That honor would belong to Jose Guillen:
That's a hose and a half.

If we were talking about anybody other than Skip Bayless, it would surely be in their top five even. But he makes asinine comment after asinine comment, so this is pretty tough. However, I do believe this would crack his top 100.Alex Morgan and Hope Solo are two of the hottest female athletes in the world, and they also happen two be two of the best female athletes in America. Look at how popular Anna Kournikova and Danica Patrick are, and what have they ever won? Sex sells. And Morgan and Solo are actually damn good at their sport on top of that. Oh, and on a team that just left our country incredibly proud of their efforts.
No doubt in my mind those ladies are going to have a lot of people and great marketing opportunities surrounding them for a while.
Also, way to be a gentleman, Skip. And to two lovely ladies? Douchetastic as always.
Poll Time... Get Your Vote On:
Good ole Freudian slips. Ricky Bottalico was of course trying to talk about a bulging disc in the back of Philadelphia Phillies starting pitcher Roy Oswalt.
As for the injury(if you care), Oswalt threw off the mound today, and could return to the Phillies' rotation in the next few weeks.
Well that's the least surprising video I've seen today. Of course MJ can dunk at 48. I fully expect him to be dunking at least another 10 years from now. Those are magical legs.
P.S. No doubt in my mind he could still drop 15+ a night in the NBA.
I almost resisted in posting this video, because it's really quite disgusting and one of the most brutal street fights I've ever seen. Just a bunch of drunken asshats beating the shit out of each other on the Las Vegas streets. It's absolute chaos, and a few of these people(particularly the last guy that gets kicked in the head), had to be in serious, SERIOUS pain following this, and may have even been hospitalized(again... particularly the last guy that gets kicked in the head).

Last night's Red Sox-Rays game in Tampa Bay was one of the craziest games I've seen in a long time:
H/T: The Big Lead; @jose3030
Get The Latest Thigh Updates By Following Us On Twitter.
The game went 16 innings.
There were just eight total hits.
There was just one run.
The Rays were down to their third "manager" for much of extra innings after Joe Maddon(the real manager) and Dave Martinez(bench coach) were ejected.
Crazy leaping catch after crazy leaping catch at the wall.
There were two in-game delays: One was caused by a popup shattering a stadium light in the dome, which sent pieces of glass onto the field. The other was caused by a streaker.
On and on.
And with a game like, at five hours, 44 minutes(the longest game in Rays history), it's probably more exhausting and frustrating for the home plate umpire than anybody else on the field. He has to squat behind the dish constantly, and only gets a minute or two to rest in between innings.
And this won't make the home plate umpire feel any better during a marathon like that:
Little did he know that he'd have to be out there for another full nine innings.

That is Jose Canseco's cell phone number according to the Miami New Times. The reason they posted it?
He tweeted Leila Shennib's phone number because he wanted people to call and ask her about her actions, and now it's his turn to answer for his.On Friday night, Canseco tweeted all of this crap about Shennib, his ex-girlfriend:
The Miami New Times then contacted Shennib about it:
We spoke with his ex. She said she's been getting so many calls and texts offering to trade her drugs for sex that Verizon called her to ask why there was a sudden spike in activity.So, they called Canseco, and told him that they were planning to publish his number for everybody to see, as he did for Shennib. He of course wasn't happy about it, even calling them a "young little boy" and "piece of shit". Just Canseco being his mature self as always. And that of course didn't help his chances to prevent the Miami New Times from publishing it.
Anyway, I encourage you all to call away, although I'd imagine he'll have the number disconnected very soon if it isn't already. Then again, he might not be smart enough to do that.

Oh how quickly we forget. Talk about getting caught up in the moment.
Look, I thought yesterday's win for our women over Brazil was incredible. Simply incredible. Bad calls by the referees screwed us left and right, we were down a player for 55 minutes, scored a great goal to tie it in the 122nd minute, had a sensational goalkeeper performance from Hope Solo, etc, etc.
But the #5 dramatic moment in sports? Come on. Will I remember this soccer victory in 10+ years? Maybe.
Will I remember the other nine moments listed? Um, yes. Those are the images we will fully have engraved in our minds for the rest of our lives as sports fans.
We can even remember the announcers' calls for most all of them. Hell, just last week at the bar, I was quoting Vin Scully's call of Kirk Gibson's homer to my friends. And that's not even the call being played on these highlights! That alone shows how significant the moment was; we can remember multiple calls of it.
And ahead of the groundball through Buckner's legs? Really? Sigh. I'm going to stop before I anger too many ladies out there.
Anyway, what do you think? Get your vote on:
Saturday on theScore, I posted a video displaying Kenny Powers(the Eastbound & Down character), as the K-Swiss CEO. Well, on the YouTube description of that video, K-Swiss said their "full campaign" would be launching on Monday, which is of course today. And today, they indeed released a much more awesome video with Kenny Powers as their CEO... their MFCEO(you can guess what the M and F stand for) to be exact.
This is Kenny Powers as you know him(so there's plenty of f-bombs), and this has to be the best viral video ad campaign ever:
Absolutely outstanding. I'll be watching that video on the reg, and I hope K-Swiss has some more of these on the way.
The Angels' Mike Trout is the #1 or #2(depending on who you ask) prospect in all of baseball, and was called up to the big leagues yesterday. One of the many reasons the 19-year-old outfielder is so highly regarded is because of his speed. In 250 career minor league games, he had 97 stolen bases.
And he put his speed on display on his first major league hit. Trout was just trying to sacrifice bunt, and his blazing speed allowed him to beat it out for a hit.
Here's the video:
This kid sure looks like he's going to be fun to watch.
