Serena Williams Ad Too Hot for TV

Always fashion forward, Serena Williams has never been shy about flaunting her game, her style and her body on the tennis court. But it seems that a little Serena goes a little too far in a recent ad for the upcoming Top Spin 4 video game.

Dressed in a black leotard and stockings, Williams (labeled in the commercial as "The World's Sexiest Tennis Player) squares off against an equally seductively dressed Rileah Vanderbilt ("The World's Sexiest Tennis Gamer") over a backdrop of pulsating techno music and grunts that are more reminiscent of bedroom sports than outdoor ones.

The ad was actually rejected by 2K Sports - who produced the game for the Wii, Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 - but was uploaded to the internet by Vanderbilt who later tweeted the link. Since then neither Vanderbilt nor Williams has commented on the commercial.

I don't know if it makes me want to buy a tennis-themed video game. But it would make me less likely to zoom past this commercial on the DVR.

Another Madden Curse For Vick?


It’s that time of year again people, even though we might not have a 2012 NFL season there still will be a Madden '12 game from EA sports.

This year is a little different in that you can vote on who should be on the cover of this year’s game. This coincides with March Madness but only has 32 players to choose from. EA has chosen one player to represent from each team and even though they don’t tell you who was in the War Room choosing these seedings, there are some interesting players in the “Big Dance”.

The video game giant decided to include Hakeem Nicks from the Giants and Jordan Gross from the Panthers, last time I checked these were not the super stars that you think of when it comes to these teams. This makes sense if you are Steve Smith who has enough injuries for a lifetime. I understand that this all for fun people but really, you have Patrick Willis from the 49ers going against “The 12th Man” from Seattle….can’t wrap my brain on that match-up even though my money is on the very violent Patrick Willis.

There is one scenario that can seem farfetched but could be plausible in that people could vote for certain players just so that person would have to succumb to the Madden Curse! And there is one player that stands out more than any other player in the tourney and that is one Michael Vick of your Philadelphia Eagles. I know...I know that would be damned mean of people to pick the 2011 Comeback Player of the Year. This is the same Vick that was on the cover in 2004 and broke his ankle in a pre-season game that had Arthur Blank rolling him up and down the sideline like some underprivileged kid.

If you think about it, there are enough haters in the world to wish this upon this Godly individual. He is only a couple of years removed from being in prison and convicted of dog fighting. There are tons of people that still believe that there are no second chances and that Vick should suffer just as much as those dogs did. In my opinion (which is the only one that counts), let this man live and don’t put him on the cover. He is better being unknown and out of sight to continue his path to righteousness. I didn’t mention that I’m a Giants fan so you know that I really mean it!

Marshawn Lynch + Beast Mode + Tecmo Bowl = Genius!

Saints fans...look away!

But for the rest of us, what better way to enjoy Marshawn Lynch's epic touchdown run to sink New Orleans than with added sound effects from the greatest sports video game of all time - Tecmo Super Bowl!
