DOWN FOR THE COUNT

It's gotten so bad over here that like Mike Tyson at the end of his career, we're embarrassing ourselves and only in it for the money these days.

Of course we didn't realize the Google Ads were taken off over a year ago until just now.

But that's neither here nor there.

As of today, June 17, The Realests are officially retired from the blogging game.

If you still crave to read our twaddle, head over to Lost Lettermen, Lost Lettermen on Facebook or LL on Twitter.

Will we be back? Only time will tell.

P.S. Before you go, check out this charity auction for a very, very good cause in Ann Arbor.

UNREALEST OF THE WEEK

Lost in all the A-Rod controversy the last couple years is that Kobe Bryant was once considered the biggest fake in sports.

This doesn't help:



For one thing, that form is just a disaster. That looks less like the Roc Diamond and more like a female part of the anatomy.

Then again, maybe Bean is doing that on purpose...

REALEST OF THE WEEK

This isn't an LSD flashback: That's actually Mike "The Miz" in the ring at a recent WWE event trash-talking Alfonso Soriano and Soriano just takin' it.

Hey Alfonso: Go up there and smash a chair over his head!!

(Skip straight to 3:00...)

REALEST OF THE WEEK

This kid's an animal, folks:

IT SUX TO BE A MICHIGAN WOLVERINE

2,000 days - and counting - since Michigan last beat Ohio State...



On a side note, it's been 14,574 days since the guy who counted this up had a life.

REALEST OF THE WEEK

You know we love Bird.

But this is the first picture we've seen fully detailing his tattoos and all we can say is, "Wow."

"What would go well with Chinese symbols and a dog collar tattoo? How about bird wings coming out of my arm pits!"

Well, it could be worse.
