Steve Nash’s voice indistinguishable from Napoleon Dynamite’s

One is a two-time NBA Most Valuable Player who plays point guard for the Lakers. One is a fictional movie character who possesses outstanding "bowstaff and nunchucking skills." But to listen to these two talk, you would think the words were emanating from the same vocal chords.

DPS: Steve Nash's voice indistinguishable from Napoleon Dynamite's

The crew of The Dan Patrick Show dives into the mystery that is the similarity between the voices of Steve Nash and Napoleon Dynamite.

(Great Video) How Paraplegic Mom Goes Surfing

When Pascale Honore was paralyzed in a car accident 18 years ago, she was told she would never walk again. But the doctors didn't say anything about surfing.
Honore, who is 50 and the mother to two, gets herself duct taped to 23-year-old Tyron Swan, a surfer friend of her sons.
A video of the pair, which has gone viral on YouTube, shows Honore in a backpack, duct taped to Swanson's back, her legs taped to Swanson's legs.
Honore slips into the backpack before she is taped to Swanson, and the two then hit the waves.
According to the Australian paper The Sunday Mail, Honore and Swan practiced the technique in flat water last December before advancing to waves.
Honore could not be immediately reached by ABC News, but she told the Australian paper The Herald Sun that she had not anticipated such a widespread positive reaction to the video, although she was pleased with it.
"I think people have related to the fact that people can accomplish great things if they work together."

Deion Sanders Is So Happy His Ridiculously Expensive German Shepherd Is Back Home

Deion Sanders has never been one to cut costs. Ever since the day he was drafted, when he wore more than a few gold chains, "Prime Time" has put his considerable fortune on display.

Even Sanders' son, Deion Jr., has Versace sheets in is dorm room.

So perhaps it's not surprising that Sanders has a $15,000 German Shepherd, which is quite an exorbitant price for a pooch.

And with a dog that expensive, you can imagine how nervous Sanders was when the dog, Yasko, got lost. According to the Examiner, Sanders' dog disappeared from his yard last year and had been gone for nine months. It was only several days ago that Yasko made his way back home.

 

After seeing that tweet, many people became curious: Why would anyone need a $15,000 dog? Worry not, doubters, the dog wasn't simply for show.

 

Coach tells nation’s top football recruit he’ll get to meet Michael Jackson

College football coaches have illustrated some strange recruiting tactics in recent months -- sending 105 letters to a recruit in a single day and shipping a personalized Mother's Day note to a prospect's mom among them -- but this one might take the cake.

A college football coach told the nation's No. 1 senior recruit he'd get to meet Michael Jackson -- Associated …
An unnamed elite collegiate coach told Woodbridge (Va.) Senior High senior defensive end Da'Shawn Hand he would get to meet Michael Jackson, the nation's top football recruit told CBSSports.com columnist Bruce Feldman over the weekend (h/t Big Lead).
You know, the same Michael Jackson that died in 2009. The one with the pet monkey.

Q: What is the craziest thing that has happened to you since you've been named the nation's No. 1 recruit?
Hand: Well, I ain't gonna say any names, but one coach told me that since I'm the No. 1 player, I'm gonna get to meet Michael Jackson. I said, "Isn't he already dead?" The coach goes, "Well, all right, you can meet Tito." I was like, all right. OK, I'm done.
It was crazy, but it is what it is.

Now, Rivals.com lists 33 scholarship offers for Hand from the who's who of college football, so it's tough to decipher exactly which coach made the blunder, but we're not ruling out West Virginia's Dana Holgorsen, who's probably more of a John Denver fan. Alabama, Florida, Michigan, South Carolina and Virginia Tech are in hottest pursuit.

But, hey, everybody makes mistakes. Even Da'Shawn Hand, who told CBS Sports that his dad's advice throughout the recruiting process has been, "Never deal your full hand," which makes zero sense, since the saying is, "Never show your hand."
Anyhow, Hand makes few mistakes on the football field, where he recorded 110 tackles (40 for losses), 16 sacks and three fumble recoveries as a junior last season. He has 259 tackles and 40 sacks in his first three varsity seasons.
Clad in a Michigan jersey somewhere in Motown, Tito Jackson nods in approval.

Hoax? Bernando LaPallo, the 111-year-old Yankees fan, cannot prove that he is really 111 years old

 

Jeter and LaPallo (AP) 

When Bernando LaPallo dropped by Yankee Stadium to visit Derek Jeter and his teammates this weekend, many people said he didn't look like his claimed age of 111.

Turns out that there's good reason for that. The Arizona resident has no way to prove his age and a consultant with Guinness World Records tells the Associated Press that verified age claims records show LaPallo was born in 1910, not 1901. That would make him 102 or 103. Still rather impressive for a guy who looks in his 80s, but not quite 110.
But, hey, what's 10 years when you're getting unfettered access to one of the biggest teams in the universe? LaPallo won over the New York Yankees, Major League Baseball and many national outlets, including this one, with his appearance. He claims to have met Babe Ruth before the legend's major league debut and that he attended Yankees games when they were known as the Highlanders and played at Hilltop Park.
For his part, LaPallo is sticking with his claim that he's the second oldest man in the world.
From the Associated Press:

LaPallo told the AP on Sunday that many people doubt him because he's in such good condition.

"It is hard to believe," he said by telephone. "And because I can pass for 65 or 70, people say it's impossible."

LaPallo's granddaughter said his birthdate was incorrectly written down as 1910 instead of 1901 at a Social Security office in Florida during the mid-1930s. Ekayani Chamberlin, who runs a fitness Web site with her grandfather and promotes his lectures on aging, says the family doesn't have an official record of his birth in Brazil.

Well, that's convenient. Something will really start to smell fishy if LaPallo starts talking about the death of a 111-year-old girlfriend he met on the Internet but never in person.
This wouldn't be the first time that LaPallo has popped up in the news for his age. He attracted attention of a fraudulent age web site when an Arizona TV station celebrated his 111th birthday last fall. - Big League Stew

Ramon Ortiz looks like he knows he just threw his final pitch

Pitchers leave games due to injury all the time, so much so that it barely registers as a blip on our radar. We've gotten numb to it. Pitchers get hurt; it's what they do.
On Sunday night, Blue Jays right-hander Ramon Ortiz didn't just leave the game due to the injury. He left with tears in his eyes and looking very much like a 40-year-old pitcher who knows he just threw the final pitch of his major league career.
You can see Ortiz point to the inside of his elbow while talking to the trainer. The initial word was an elbow strain, but he's obviously headed for more tests.
"It doesn't look good, but he'll go to Florida to get examined, get an MRI and we'll have a better idea in the next few days," said manager John Gibbons to MLB.com's Gregor Chisholm. "I saw him after it happened, in the training room. He has been at this game a long, long time. He has been a pretty healthy guy, and this game takes its toll on you. He's a winner. He's a champ. I feel for him."
As far as I can tell, Ortiz has not had any major arm problems in the last 15 years or so. In fact, the veteran right-hander has thrown upwards of 150+ innings nearly every year for the last 18 years or so between the majors, minors and winter ball. Durability has been one of his best assets.
It's easy to forget that these players are human, and it's very rare to see one break down like that and show just how much he loves the game. Just brutal. - CBS Sports

Rangers video: Robbie Ross vs. George Kottaras in cow milking contest

The Texas Rangers held a couple "farm" events prior to today's game, including an egg toss contest. But the big draw was a cow milking contest that pitted Rangers reliever Robbie Ross against Royals catcher George Kottaras.
Ross was the clear favorite, as he grew up in Kentucky and participated in a similar event last season. But Kottaras, who grew up in Canada, pulled off the upset. - star telegram
