Tiger texts, Alex Chilton, NCAA March Madness…the Zit List | 03.19.10

Welcome to the Zit List, where we tell you exactly what to think about the week that was.

Link: Tiger Trauma
Things probably can’t get much worse for Tigs – one of his mistresses released the text messages he sent her. Yeah, yeah, the affair stuff is disturbing, but far MORE disturbing is the fact that the text messages suggest that Tiger thought he was a CIA agent in the process.

Link: The Day the Music Died
Influential musician Alex Chilton passed away this week due to a heart attack after a long career in the industry. He helmed the Box Tops at age 16 and Big Star during the 1970s; in the ensuing decades, legions of indie and pop artists alike were influenced by his sound.

Link: Don’t Stop the Madness
March Madness is upon us, and many brackets have already been thrown askew by upsets of top-seeded teams. 1 zit in deference to those teams’ dashed dreams, but underdogs are always more exciting. Put your seatbelts on!

Welcome to the Zit List, where we tell you exactly what to think about the week that was.

Link: Once You Pop, You Better Stop
Not enough that salmonella affects our eggs and spinach – now it infests that most holy of grails, Pringles, too? It’s sad but true. This week, we learned we must throw out our cans of taco and cheeseburger flavored Pringles. Oh, the humanity!

Link: Corey, We Hardly Knew Ye
Child star Corey Haim was found dead this week of an apparent overdose, the most recent in a disheartening string of celebrity deaths, serving as a reminder that fame doesn’t necessarily bring happiness.

Link: Lebron=Besmirched
Lebron (or should we say Le-brawn) James, the Cleveland NBA star, was faced with rumors this morning that his prowess on the court was due in part to steroids. The only problem was this: Lebron was clean. Cleveland Indians baseball player, Steve Lebron, was the one who had tested positive for juice. Perhaps we should cease referring to sports stars by names and nicknames? (Nah.)

Olympic Update: Snowboarding, Skating, Skiing, and More

It was a pretty wild day for team USA at the Olympics yesterday, as two hotshot US athletes made good (or should we say gold?) on their hype. Shaun White outpaced the competition in the half pipe by whipping out his signature double twist trick on the second run. And Lindsay Vonn won gold in women’s downhill, despite near-disastrous conditions on the mountain that prevented the athletes from practicing on the actual runs they’d be competing on (remember when we said they were going to have to chopper in snow? Well, yeah.)

Unsurprisingly, American speed skaters Shani Davis and Apolo Anton Ohno skated easily (ho ho) to the next stage in their heats. And round robins continue for curling and hockey, so stay tuned for some powerhouse match-ups. Canadian pride is on the line when it comes to hockey, so Canada’s matches with Russia and the US promise to be explosive.

If you’re not watching the games…don’t miss out!

A Killer Superbowl Workout (Big Screen Not Provided)

footballAs the Saints-Colts match up draws nearer, there’s just one question on everyone’s mind: are you in shape for the Superbowl?

OK, OK, so maybe you’re not quite ready to be put on a roster. That’s okay! The American Physical Therapy Association, tongue planted firmly in cheek, has outlined 6 exercises that will fit right in with your game viewing. What better way to get a workout without even realizing it?

  1. Watch warm-ups while lying on your side and lifting your top leg up, keeping the knee extended. Hold for 5 or 10 seconds and wish for many touchdowns. Repeat on the other side.
  2. When your team makes a completed pass, hold your arms out at shoulder length with palms up to the sky. Move your shoulder blades toward one another until the next snap!
  3. During commercial breaks, make like a player in the locker room and do some quick wall sits. Press your back flat against the wall. Slightly bend your knees to slide down the wall and hold. Repeat until the game comes back.
  4. Grab a couple cans of soda (or, you know, your game watching beverage of choice) and hold one in each hand. Stand with your feet about 6 inches apart. Bent at the waist towards one side and bring the can up under your opposing arm.
  5. When the ref makes a bad call against your team, shake your head in disbelief, making sure to tuck your chin to your chest. You’ll stretch and exercise muscles on the back and sides of your neck.
  6. If the game comes down to the last few minutes, relieve the tension by lying on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Bend one knee toward your chest, grab the back of your thigh with both hands, and stretch your leg from the knee.
