In case you missed it, a little more than a month ago one of the last remaining 867-5309 phone numbers (made famous by the Tommy Tutone’s song) was put up for auction on ebay, with bids topping $365,000. As we were surfing the internet trying to find a new home for our website , we stumbled across someone selling the URL pertaining to the infamous song (hey, it’s got free shipping, so I’ll lay $2.99 down on it!). That got us to thinking (a stretch for us, we know) what sports websites could we purchase, market, and then re-sell for a profit (because…hey, times are tough, and we gots to get paid).
So here are the Top-40 sports-related URLs (and what we would do with them) that are available.
40. www.cappingMLB.com
For the envious small-market team that’s in all of us (except for the Steinbrenners…).
39. www.mycousinvinnydacoach.com
The sequel that no Bulls fan would ask for.
38. www.saveseattlesports.com
A virtual visitation for what used to be a thriving sports metropolis. Ya know, like when the Sonics made it to the finals (and lost) or the Seahawks made it to the Super Bowl (and lost). OR…a social networking site for all of Shawn Kemp’s illegitimate children.

37. www.blindedbytheslider.com
Because Cubs fans will never forget how much Corey Patterson sucked. Future home of disgruntled Phillies fans after Ryan Howard dips below 30 homers a season…

36. www.mannyisacancer.com
A message board for Red Sox Nation to whine about a guy that hit .347 with a 1.060 OPS in July of 2008 when he reportedly ‘quit’ on his team. The Red Sox fans should quit too…as in: quit your bitchin’!!
35. www.themanningface.com
If you don’t read Bill Simmons, this is what we’re talking about. Notice the URL for that link…whomever owns that site is light years ahead of us. Here’s an example:

34. www.barkleyforbama.com
Despite the fact he has a gambling problem and was arrested for DUI when all he was looking for was little love…we’d still vote for him if he ends up running for governor of Alabama.
33. www.kirilenkos1nightayear.com
For those that don’t know, Utah Jazz forward, Andrei Kirilenko’s wife allows him to sleep around for one night every year. Don’t believe me? I’m not kidding. But since he doesn’t take advantage of his opportunity, this site would be devoted to the women that he passes on.

32. www.crabdribblingtotherack.com
A message board for NBA referees who forgot what the hell a traveling violation was. See: James, LeBron.
31. www.knightsfoldingchair.com
Where we would chronicle videos of Bobby Knight – like this one:
30. www.findingphelpsbong.com
A daily blog devoted to a sheriff and his search for justice! Because one man’s smoking bong is another man’s smoking gun…

29. www.thesummerof10.com
Where LeBron, Kobe, Amaré, Bosh and DWade give Twitter clues as to where they want to go when they hit the open market. To be frequented by all 30 NBA GMs…well, maybe just 29 because Memphis already knows that none of these guys wanna play in Tennessee (or they’ll be located in Vegas).
28. www.thezenmasterphil.com
Aspiring coaches can go here to learn inspiring coaching techniques, such as playing the Bongo, crisis management, and pointing at the greatest player in the league with eight minutes left in the fourth quarter to get back in the game. You can also learn how to successfully date your bosses daughter.
27. www.rickeysthebest.com
Rickey Henderson admitted on Mike and Mike in the Morning that the rumor of him framing his first $1 million check was true (prompting the Oakland A’s to freak when their accounting department was off by a million), so this site would be dedicated to all of those great Rickey-isms.
26. www.thereisonlyoneLT.com
Where LT shattering Joe Theismann’s ankle is played on loop. Lawrence Taylor is the only LT (don’t give us any of this LaDainian Tomlinson crap). And remember kids, “Don’t smoke crack!”

25. www.kobedoesnotknowhowyourasstastes.com
Despite the below Shaq-rap being funny, it’s much advised not to anger The Black Mamba. See: Artest, Ron. Kobe would go here to get bulletin-board material.
24. www.fansofhockey.com
The official Facebook site for all Canadiens and the two Canadien refugees living in North Dakota.
23. www.evandersrightear.com
Where fans of the sweet science will come to voice their frustrations about the downfall of boxing. In-part due to the appetite of a cannibalistic Iron Mike.
22. www.drinkingwithdaly.com
Because nothing interests the public more than watching finely tuned athletic machines getting sloshed and hanging on hot chicks.

21. www.howeva.com
We were gonna use www.racefor19.com (for El Tigre), HOWEVA…someone mocking Stephen A. Smith has to have his own website!
20. www.pacmancapsthebottle.com
One of two things could happen on this site: Pacman could clean up his act and not suck as a player, or he could start shooting glass bottles off a ledge. Either way…we don’t really care…
19. www.shaqtastic.com
Where people can go to find his latest youtube videos, Twitter updates, and all of the Shaqisms you can handle.
18. www.detroitlionssuicidehotline.com
This page is completely blank except for the phone number to a local Detroit suicide hot-line which appears in a font size of 17 (the number of years since their last playoff win). The font will grow every year.
17. www.gregodensrockingchair.com
A site where the people that share the same disease as Benjamin Button and Greg Oden can open up and talk about themselves with others like them.

16. www.weretalkingaboutpractice.com

8. www.theozzietranslator.com
