Prime Time: The Very Best of Neon Deion Sanders [PHOTOS, VIDEOS]
There wasn’t a NFL player on Earth who was more beloved and loathed than Deion Sanders. When he was with the Falcons everyone wanted to high step and show boat and return punts. Then, he goes to the 49ers and Cowboys, two of the more hated franchises in the league and people can’t stand his glitz and flash. Deep down, though, he’s not like Terrell Owens or Chad Ochocinco or Desean Jackson. He’s on another level. His physical skills are unparalleled. Sure, he couldn’t tackle for sh*t, but he was fun to watch. As a tribute for his birthday today (August 9th), we’ve curated his best highlight reels, photos, and little known facts. Check ‘em out after the jump.

The 18 Losingest Teams In Major League Baseball [SUCK IT, PHILLY]
July 15th marks the anniversary of the Philadelphia Phillies losing their record 10,000th game, which at the time was the most in MLB history. A quick check of the books shows that despite their recent streak of consecutive division titles and playoff appearances they still hold that top spot for losingest pro baseball team of all-time. Of course, losingest can be taken in a variety of ways – could mean most losses or it could mean worst win/loss percentage. So, we’ve taken both into consideration when running down the losingest teams of all-time, past and present. Check out the full rundown after the jump.

COED Presents The MLB All-Star Cheerleading Squad
On July 3rd, Major League Baseball announced the rosters for the 2011 MLB All Star Teams. On July 4th, America celebrated our Independence Day. On July 5th, everyone realized the lack of beautiful women in professional baseball. While hot cheerleaders have been a staple of the NFL and NBA for decades, MLB’s first cheerleading team was apparently the Marlin Mermaids in 2003. Step it up, MLB! In the hopes of getting teams to realize how important these ladies are, we’ve compiled the following list of sexy all-star spirit leaders. Check it out after the jump.

Major League Baseball’s 19 Weirdest Players Of All-Time
Professional athletes are the most superstitious people on Earth. It makes sense since their lives are driven by routine and repetition. But out of all the sports, baseball might have the most superstitious. Remember Major League? As boring as most casual fans believe the game to be, they might change their minds after seeing what these ballplayers do behind the scenes. The eccentricities range from peculiar clothing to unusual pre-game rituals, running the gamut from quirky to crazy. To celebrate what makes us all ‘special,’ COED’s compiled a list of the strangest / nuttiest players from baseball’s past and present. Check it out after the jump.

MLB Teams That Need a New Stadium
If you followed COED’s 30 Stadiums in 30 Days trip last summer, then you know there are some state of the art, super awesome stadiums out there in the MLB. However, there are some stadiums that fans should avoid entirely; they make the gameday experience so miserable that you’re better off just watching the game on TV. The stadiums listed after the jump are those ones; the stadiums that players are embarassed to call home and that fans should avoid at all costs.

I Am The Best MLB2K11 Player In America
On May 27th Steve was lucky enough to attend the Phillies vs Mets game at Citi Field with 25-year-old Brian Kingrey of Hammond, La. Who is Brian Kingrey you ask? He is this year’s $1 million winner of the annual MLB 2K11 Perfect Game Challenge. The guy never played a baseball video game in his life and pitched a Perfect Game with Roy Halladay on the All-Star level within two hours of unwrapping the game. I’m not a video game judge but I’m pretty sure this makes him the best MLB2K11 player on Earth. I got to play an inning against Brian who was pitching with Halladay and with two outs and the odds against me I ripped a double in the gap. I’m pretty sure that makes me the best MLB2K11 hitter in America. Check out pics from my trip after the jump.

Texas Rangers Smokeshow Amber Leigh Hartman Featured By BarstoolSports
Last fall we posted a still frame of a group of hot girls sitting behind home plate during the ALCS game between the Texas Rangers and New York Yankees. One of the girls, Amber Leigh Hartman, saw our post and quickly identified herself as one of the smokeshows. I was on BarstoolSports today (typical) and saw a picture El Pres posted of a pretty familiar face. The girl in the story on Barstool looked very similar to Amber so I took a pic (of the picture), sent it over to Amber and got confirmation. She is starting to blow up again so let’s feature her pictures again!

Pro Athlete Salaries in 1987 [Infographic]
Pro athletes make crazy amounts of money. Even the lowest of the low on an NFL roster (practice squad) make what the rest of us would consider an excellent salary (minimum of $4700/week, which adds up to $79,900 over the regular season). It wasn’t always this way though. Back in the 1980′s salaries were much more modest. Here is an inforgraphic from a 1987 issue of Fortune Magazine that shows just how much average salaries in the four major sports have increased over the years. When your done reading this check out How Much Money Do You Make Compared to the Athletes? and The 10 Best Sports Jobs for Non-Athletes.

5 Things NFL Players Can Do During The Lockout
Last week, we brought you the 30 expensive things you could buy with the estimated $12B that could be lost during the NFL lockout. With football no longer on their schedule, players must seek alternative means to pass the time and, in many cases, make a buck. Before we were internet moguls… we were career consultants! That’s why we’d like to offer our services to the hundreds of pro football players who have grown tired twiddling their thumbs. As Tim Tebow or Kurt Warner can attest, idle hands are the devil’s tools. See our top suggestions for things NFL players can do during the lockout after the jump!

6 Athletes Who Deserve Their Own Biopic
There have been reports Mark Wahlberg has stated he wants to turn “The Fighter” into a trilogy. Is this the next Rocky franchise? Most likely not, since this one’s based on actual events, but one wonders if Mickey Ward’s story warrants three feature length films? Prior to The Fighter’s release, his name rang few bells, but judging by its critical and box office success, one has to take a look around at other sports figures to see who’s ripe for the Hollywood treatment. In April 2009, Bleacher Report published their list of athletes who deserve celluloid dedications, now we have our list. See our selections after the jump!

Whether you’re a Yankee fan or not you have to admit Nick Swisher is the man. His energy, charisma, philanthropy and love of the game are just what the Doctor Gooden ordered for baseball. However, those traits aren’t just confined to the field and personal appearances, they carry over to world of Twitter and Facebook as well. Recently, NBC called him a “social media superstar” and if you’ve been following Swish on those platforms, you know the dude’s always got something interesting to say or show.

COED Presents: The Worst Sportsman of the Year 2010 [VOTE]
Drew Brees was recently awarded Sportsman of the Year by Sports Illustrated. Brees not only won a Super Bowl against Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts last February, but has made significant contributions off the field as well. Of course you tend to not hear about it since our sports news off the field typically focurs on DUIs or domestic abuse, a player’s displeasure with their current team, or better yet, where they are taking their “talents.” Brees is a breath of fresh air and we 100% fully endorse SI’s selection. To ensure we have MORE of him and LESS of the other jackasses, we’re doling out “awards” for the Worst Sportsmen of the Year.
