The Helmuth Fix (under construction)

UCLA Students Streak To Celebrate End Of Semester

Josh Helmuth — Sat, 12 Dec 2009 02:06:53 +0000

Wednesday night will be a night that I will remember Forever! For-ev-ver, For-ev-ver, (“Sandlot” anyone?)

What a great time, getting to streak through campus in your undies, and nobody cares! Just makes me wish I would have gone to UCLA for college… even more so!

Thanks to Rob Steiner for being my camera man.
Thanks for all the really hot girls that decided to give me the time of day, even if it was just because I had a camera.
And guys, just thanks for…well…being funny. I guess that’s that thing. Girls get naked, it’s hot. Guys do, and it’s just funny. HA.

Below are some screen captures from the story about Wednesday night’s tri-annual UCLA “Undie Run” you can view below as well.

Why Basketball Players Shouldn’t Do The Weather

I say that, but really he didn’t do too bad! Whoever Chris Bosh’s publicist is, they are very busy right now. For some reason, not only do we see ads on Facebook promoting Chris’s new fan page, but he even went on a Toronto station to do the weather. At one point, it sounds like he accidentally taps the green screen with his hand….other than that, not too shabby!

What Centrum And Strip Poker Have In Common

I guess this commercial was only a ‘spec,’ but tell me, how in the world did this spot NOT make it on the air??

I love posting funny commercials. Thanks to my uncle for pointing this one out to me. It’s a little predictable…but still hilarious.

Doesn’t that just make you want to take Centrum for the rest of your life?! Marketing genius.

It’s All About Picking Butler

Josh Helmuth — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 22:58:26 +0000

In your NCAA tournament bracket next week, Butler may look like a sexy pick. But not as sexy as Butler picking themselves.This is from the game last night in which Cleveland State upset 16th ranked Butler 57-54 in the Horizon League championship game. I guess when your team is down by one point with 33.7 seconds left, all that’s left to do is pick your nose!

James Franco As Sleeping Beauty

Last I heard James was still taking classes at UCLA. They must not be that entertaining…
TMZ released this photo earlier of the actor falling asleep in one of his classes. I can only imagine the hilarity that ensued from the person taking this picture…especially when they sold it!

Farts Interrupt City Council Meeting

Josh Helmuth — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 22:00:16 +0000

How ya like that headline?

But then again, who doesn’t like bathroom related humor? What makes it so funny though is that it obviously isn’t in a bathroom……… but in a city council meeting in Medina, Ohio.

I’m wondering if this was a fart-machine prank. Hey, I used one on my 7th grade English teacher during April Fools Day!

Buzzer Beater Heats Up March Madness

Josh Helmuth — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 05:10:31 +0000

Can you feel the Madness creeping up!? I sure can. March is the best sports month of the year, along with October, and this coming Sunday (selection Sunday) cannot come soon enough. On that note, let’s talk about one of the greatest buzzer beaters I’ve seen in a while. I’m sure you’ve seen it all over Sportscenter.

I’ve only been out of school and away from Tuscaloosa for two years, and I didn’t even know that Alabama had a player named Anthony Brock. (I’m guessing he’s related to Evan Brock, who played for the Tide when I was there) But I can’t get enough of this OUTSTANDING shot.

In a year where the Tide finally got rid of Mark Gottfried, (but it took Ronald Steele leaving for them to come to their senses) it’s nice to finally see a positive smudge pop up within the program’s massively disappointing year.

Brock lost his grandmother and just had returned from her funeral, driving through the night to make it to Knoxville in time for the game… only to make this unbelievable game winning 3-pointer! It’s always great to beat Tennessee! Roll Tide!

Who Wants Some Kool-Aid?

Josh Helmuth — Sat, 07 Mar 2009 02:54:10 +0000

The Kool-Aid man is definitely one of the creepiest, most unrealistic, crazy dumb ad campaigns in the history of television. But that’s exactly why it is perfect for satire and drainingly hilarious. (Yes, I did just make up a word)

I ran across a site dedicated to the Kool-Aid man and it’s satire. Check it out for a good laugh. Ohhhh Yaaaaaaaaahhh!!

Here are some snippets as well. One of them includes the BEST All-Time moment in Family Guy history!

Is A-Rod Going Under The Knife Or Not?

Josh Helmuth — Fri, 06 Mar 2009 07:24:23 +0000

The world O’ sports has been dominated recently by T.O. and A-Rod. The news of Terrell Owens is pretty well expected and accepted. I don’t think any of us were surprised to see that Jerry Jones finally let him go. And c’mon, it’s T.O. He’s always in the news.

But does anyone TRULY know what the heck is going on with Alex Rodriguez???

It all started yesterday when news broke that he had a cyst in his hip that was being looked at; surgery being a possibility. ESPN was reporting this, but little did we know that the source was his brother. Let me say that again, BROTHER. Brother???? Did we even know he had a brother? I’ve never heard of him, and neither has my source….Deadspin.com.

Then reports came out today that he was in fact going to have the surgery to get rid of the cyst and to fix his torn labrum, sidelining him for up to 10 weeks.

About an hour later, another report came out that that the surgery was going to be more complicated than what first thought, and that he would miss anywhere from 2-4 months. Again, the only source being his *brother*. No one had evidently contacted the Yankees for any information.
New York beat reporter Peter Abraham did talk with the Yankees and has now reported that Brian Cashman is putting a hold on the surgery. ESPN’s Jayson Stark also said that Cashman was shocked by the news, because Rodriguez hadn’t been complaining of any pain whatsoever. So basically the team expects A-Rod to play through the pain.

There’s the story as of now. Thanks for reading the long semi-rant. But I just want to know what is happening! No one can figure this out.

Here is Deadspin…

“So at this point, no one can figure out what is actually happening. ESPN News is sticking by the brother story, while also adding that the ball club is leaning toward no surgery and running clips of his agent, Scott Boras, saying they will wait and see. I’m not sure whose call it would be, but I’m guessing it’s not up to A-Rod’s brother.”
What do YOU think?

If you play fantasy baseball, where do you draft him? Do you still expect Alex to put up big numbers this year? Is all of this happening due to steroid use??

Yes, that’s right. I am a HUGE fantasy baseball nerd. Surprised?

One Of The Coolest Commercials Of 2009

Josh Helmuth — Thu, 05 Mar 2009 00:34:58 +0000

And one of the coolest sports commercials I have ever seen!

It’s amazing how realistic they make game characters these days. Plus, I already like Tim Lincecum, the 23 year old 5’11″ 170 lb. FREAK who won the NL Cy Young last year. AND Randy Johnson makes a cameo. This is an instant classic in my book. Hilarious.
