Monday Afternoon Tauntr Linkage

Today’s links go out to Dallas Braden’s grandmother, who would be a first-ballot inductee into the Tauntr Hall of Fame if it existed for telling A-Rod to “stick it.”

If you love fail videos and watching people slip and fall, this clip is just for you.

Thinking about stealing a golf cart and taking it for a joy ride? Well, the recent case involving two former Oregon State University football players who are facing felony charges for doing exactly that might make you want to reconsider. Then again, doing so sounds pretty fun.

David Wright went nuts arguing balls and strikes on Mother’s Day.

Plaxico Burress has found a new friend in prison, Lillo Brancato, the star of the 1993 film “A Bronx Tale.”

Albert Pujols (pronounced poo holes) has a lot going for him. He is the best player in baseball and about to receive a record-setting contract. But his cousin was not handed the same deck of cards, if you will, having been given the name Harry as a child. Yup. His name is Harry Pujols.

Packers wide receiver Greg Jennings is quite the actor.

This UMASS football player got absolutely laid out in spring practice.

Baltimore is naming a street after Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis, who pleaded guilty to obstruction of justice. Baltimore fail.

Recently released quarterback JaMarcus Russell earned $100,000 per completion during his Raiders career. Good bang for the buck there. Seriously, had Al Davis taken $36-million and dumped it on the streets of Oakland from a helicopter, the team would have likely been better off. I mean, perhaps some of those who caught the raining money would use it to go to Raiders fans or, even better, invest in into the economy. Instead, the team inserted an offensive lineman into the QB spot for three seasons, receiving crap production for Pro Bowl prices.

The Fenway infield? Yup, it still sucks.

We retweeted this earlier, but Tirico Suave, who was all over the Dallas Braden-A-Rod story this morning, put the perfect game into an interesting perspective.

Prize for pitching a perfect game in MLB2K10: $1 million. Dallas Braden's 2010 salary: $420,000.

He, of course, was referring to this story.

The Royals suck, especially shortstop Yuinesky Betancourt. He cannot field—advanced stats are more than hard on him—hit for power or get on base. But if you needed more proof of his futility, this video will do the trick.

Keith Hernandez fell asleep during the broadcast of the Mets-Giants game on Saturday. Yeah, baseball can get boring, lending itself to napping, but not when you’re, you know, being paid to work the game.

Then again, Hernandez was behind this incident as well.

In the non-sports-related link of the day, Gawker presents Lady Gaga by the numbers.
