Last year ended in rejection for the New Jersey Nets forward, as his wife of 72 days, Kim Kardashian, filed for a divorce in November.  He was forced to deal with a similar case of rejection less than 24 hours into the New Year, but this time it was the rim at Quicken Loans Arena doing the rejecting, as Humphries’ first-quarter dunk attempt was stuffed by the cylinder during Sunday’s game against the Cavaliers.

If the following video is any indication, it could be another rough year for Humph.

Unfortunately for D-Will, the 30 mph gusts of wind kept the helicopter grounded.  However, that wouldn’t be enough to keep the Olympic Gold medalist from his target destination, as he was able to flag down a Red Bull Military Extreme Vehicle, which carried him through the streets of Newark before dropping him off at the party in Manhattan’s SoHo district.

While D-Will may have been somewhat disappointed that he didn’t get to check out the bright lights of New York from above, he still seemed awfully pleased with how the entire night worked out.

“Even though the original plan of checking out the skyline from a heli didn’t go as planned, it was an incredible night out,” said Williams. “I had a fun ride into Manhattan, and my friends at Red Bull threw a great party to welcome me to the family.”

What makes this own-goal even more interesting is the fact that goaltender Cam Ward was the last Hurricanes player to touch the puck.  As a result, he earns credit for the goal and moves up from 574th into a tie for 448th in league scoring.

Here is a look at the goal that got him there.

From the moment he came off the bench and stepped onto the court, fans at MSG let Humphries know exactly how they feel about him, his reality television career, and his previous relationship with Kim Kardashian, as they booed him upon his entrance, as well as every time he touched the ball.  Luckily for him, he didn’t get his hands on the rock all that often during his 5:40 of playing time.   And oddly enough, when Humphries made his return to the bench, the fans at MSG couldn’t help but chant, “We Want Humph!”

It was a strange scene inside MSG, and something tells me that the Kardashian’s are somehow at the bottom of this.  Did they pay everyone in the building to give Humphries a hard time?  Perhaps, but I guess we’ll never know for sure.

Here is a look at the fans in MSG booing Humphries throughout his first minute of playing time.

During last night’s game between the New Jersey Devils and the New York Rangers, Janssen thought he had Tim Erixon lined up along the boards for a big hit, but when the Rangers’ defenseman sidestepped the check at the last second, it caused the Devils’ enforcer to go crashing into his own bench at full speed.

Janssen spent the following five seconds trying to get his body right-side-up, as his legs dangled in the air while his head was buried between the legs of Devils’ captain Zach Parise.

You can watch all the awkwardness unfold in the video below.

Hat Tip- [http://www.totalprosports.com/?p=45252 Some men love their bush.  I’m guessing this Jersey douchebag is one of those men, and he is more than willing to fight in order to protect his bush from those reckless skater kids.

I could understand this man’s anger had that been Ines Sainz’s bush, Larissa Riquelme’s bush, or Sara Carbonero’s bush, but is all that swearing, pushing and yelling really worth it over a $30 bush that you can purchase at the local gardening store?

What makes the win even more impressive is that it came against an all boys team.  Now that her story has gained international recognition, it is just a matter of time before she signs with an MLB team.  She will even be at the Mets game this weekend to throw out the first pitch, who knows they might even put her in for some middle relief.

Mackenzie looks to have a bright future in the sport as long as she stays away from the juice.   Good luck Mackenzie, enjoy your new found fame.

“Yankee pitcher CC Sabathia consoled himself after his first abysmal game by spending $15 million on a six-bedroom house in Alpine, NJ, reports The Post’s Jennifer Gould Keil. That’s spare change for the 250-pound, 6-foot-7 ace, who signed a $161 million contract with the team in the off-season.

The 12,000-square-foot mansion on 2 acres was on the market for less than two weeks. Sabathia, 28, paid all cash for his dream house, where he’ll live with wife, Amber, and their three kids. The ‘hood boasts neighbors like Sean Combs, Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, Chris Rock and Britney Spears. Broker Dennis McCormack of Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty had no comment. Single guy Rob Walker, who manages Pharrell Williams of The Neptunes, sold the family-style place because he fell in love with a nearby bachelor pad in the $15 million-$20 million range. That deal may close soon.” [PageSix]

When guys like CC are buying new $15 million homes, you can tell that the recession we are currently in is affecting them.

With just under two seconds left in the game and the score 95-95, Harris fouled 76ers forward Andre Iguodala to put him at the line.  After missing the first free throw, Iguodala hit the second putting Philly up by one.  That’s when Harris used his “miracle performing” ability.  He caught the inbound pass, carried the ball along the baseline to half court where he appeared to have it stripped away by Iguodala.  He regained possession, JUST got the shot off, and hit nothing but net.  The play was reviewed and it counted.  Harris finished with a game-high 39 points and had the following to say about his shot after the game:

“When I saw it go in I didn’t think it was good because the first reaction I got from the referees was that it was no good, so it was hard to get excited…but it was a good feeling [when they told me it counted].”

As for the 76ers, well lets just say they saw it a different way.  At least a disgruntled Andre Miller did:

“It was no good, I mean, we all know that. We can’t sit and argue it and risk the consequences of talking about it. It’s over now…I guess that’s just how our season has been going.”

Apparently Miller isn’t much of a fan of the refs or technology.  Harris earned himself a spot on ESPN’s SportsCenter Highlight of the Night thanks to the play.  You think Stuart Scott was liking it?
