Good hot weekend to you! Here's what is happening in the sports world today...

-Benson decides to prove the critics right, gets busted for drunk driving: Some people are just destined to self-implode. This is why people hate athletes sometimes. If you make that much money, GET A FRIGGIN' CAB OR HIRE A DRIVER especially if you recently got busted for DUI driving a boat. Fail.

-See? Pro football players like bad karaoke just as much as we do: Every year, New England Patriots' fan fave Larry Izzo puts on an event called Larryoke, a benefit for charity. Players drink, sing songs very badly and create great photo ops for bloggers like us. Here's some great pics via friends Busted Coverage, including Tom Brady/Gisele pics and all kinds of video here.

-UFC's night in London and the impending big announcement: It just wouldn't be a weekend without a bunch of MMA news.

-Nothing like announcing an MVP a bit early:
Oops. Congrats A.O.

-Youk's nightly shenanigans finally cause Manny to snap:
Despite things being pretty good in the Nation, Kevin Youkilis' nightly pouting and acting after strikeouts or bad at-bats can get old. Who knew it would be the docile Manny Ramirez to finally call him out? Follow up story here and video here if you missed it.

Finally, good luck wishes to Will Leitch as he leaves Deadspin to join New York magazine. We all owe at least part of our success to sites like Deadspin helping spread the word, so thanks. May you one day get the chance to strike Buzz Bissinger in the face.

BallHype: hype it up!
