Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Blackhawks are World Champions

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010

Congratulations to the 2010 NBA Champions, Los Angeles Lakers, and the 2010 Stanley Cup Champions, Chicago Blackhawks.

The Blackhawks treated fans in Chicago to their first hockey championship in 48 years, the Lakers treated fans in Los Angeles to their first ever game 7 victory over the hated Boston Celtics.

Looks like we have a crystal ball here at SaveFans! as our experts correctly predicted that the Lakers would win the NBA Finals and the Blackhawks would win the Stanley Cup.

Los Angeles Lakers win the 2010 Larry O’Brien Trophy – Kobe Bryant MVP

Chicago Blackhawks win the 2010 Stanley Cup – Jonathan Toews MVP

American Pie-Dol

Monday, May 24th, 2010

Fresh off singing the national anthem at a Los Angeles Lakers game at Staples Center, our good friend and American Idol Season 5 Finalist Elliott Yamin was feeling pretty good about himself.

That’s when we decided to “mess things up” for him.

We caught Elliott shopping in a local grocery store and with a little help from the staff, we set him up for the “it never gets old” pie in the face hidden camera prank.

Check out this funny hidden camera video of Elliott Yamin getting hit with a pie in his face:

Lakers Versus Celtics And The NBA Playoffs

Thursday, May 20th, 2010

lakers versus celtics and the nba playoffs 2010 lakers celtics nba finals tickets series prediction schedule matchup Lakers Versus Celtics And The NBA PlayoffsTwenty years ago, Electronic Arts revolutionized they way we interact with sports by releasing a video game that featured real life NBA star players and their signature moves. The first-ever game to be officially endorsed by the NBA would change sports gaming forever. Appropriately enough, the game was called Lakers Versus Celtics and the NBA Playoffs.

The game’s name was pretty much a no-brainer. If EA was going to pioneer the way we play basketball on our Sega Genesis they better do it with the two winningest franchises in NBA history. The teams’ combined 32 NBA titles (17 for Boston 15 for LA) mean Celtics and Lakers have accounted for more than half the championships since the league’s inception (63 seasons).

The Lakers-Celtics rivalry pretty much disappeared after The 80s. Magic Johnson and Larry Bird retired. The Lakers moved from the Great Western Forum to the Staples Center, the Celtics from the Boston Garden to the TD Garden. It seemed like we would never hear the these words screamed in unison, echoing from Beantown to Hollywood, “BEAT L.A.!”

Until three trades happened…

The Boston Celtics got Kevin Garnett from the Minnesota Timberwolves. The Boston Celtics got Ray Allen from the Seattle Sonics. The Los Angeles Lakers got Pau Gasol from the Memphis Grizzlies.

Fast forward to June 2008 at TD Garden and… “BEAT L.A.!” is back! The names Bird, Magic, Kareem, Worthy, McHale, and Parrish, may have given way to the names Kobe, Pierce, KG, Pau, Lamar, Ray, and Rondo, but the rivalry is just as heated in 2010 as it was in 1985.

We are on the verge of another chapter in the storied Lakers-Celtics rivalry. A 2010 Lakers Celtics NBA Finals is almost a forgone conclusion at this point, with both teams leading their respective Conference Finals series 2-0. The Celtics and Lakers have won a combined 13 straight playoff games and are pretty much dominating the 2010 NBA Playoffs.

If the 2008 Finals was any indication, than 2010 Lakers Celtics NBA Finals tickets will be a hot commodity. Almost as hot as Lakers Versus Celtics and the NBA Playoffs was for Sega Genesis in 1990.

nba free agent list summer 2010 rumors lebron james dwayne wade chris bosh amare stoudamire 300x168 Free For All

The face of professional basketball will change this summer. The 2010 NBA free-agent class is the best collection of available talent in the history of the league.

Teams vying to sign free agents must wait until July 1st to make their franchise pitch or face the wrath of David Stern. Fans are immune to league office tampering charges, and are thus taking to the internet with pleas for all-star players to come to their city.

Miami Heat fans launched wewantewade.com in an effort to keep Dwayne Wade in South Florida. The website is boasts downloadable content, message boards, official We Want Wade Fan Kits and merchandise, and even serves as an outlet to contact D. Wade. The best part of the site is the “do’s and don’ts” advice it gives if you happen to run into Wade on the street. Among the things to do are “chant We Want Wade!” and “send dessert to his table.” Among the things not to do include, “follow him. (since) it’s not just intrusive its illegal” or “show him your D.Wade tattoo. or get one for that matter.”

Cleveland Cavaliers fans and went the viral video route to try to keep Lebron James in C-Town. State officials, television personalities, other local Cleveland celebrities got together to shoot We Are Lebron, a video spoof of We Are The World that first appeared on break.com. Ohio Governor Ted Strickland, Senator Sherrod Brown, television reporter Carl Monday, weatherman Dick Goddard, and soccer great Otto Orf, were among the many “singers” in the video that let Lebron know, “The Knicks and Nets are terrible,” and “its a choice your making, you’re saving our downtown.”

Tiger Woods Rap Song

Wednesday, January 13th, 2010

tiger woods song maino 300x154 Tiger Woods Rap SongJust when you think you have seen it all with Tiger Woods – a new mistress, another sponsor dropping him, Elin leaving, TMZ reporting his mother in law going to the hospital, etc – something comes out of nowhere to bring new media attention.

Granted, this might not be exactly newsworthy, more like hilarious, but rap hip/hop artist Maino has recorded a new Tiger Woods Rap song (actually praising him) called Get ‘Em Tiger.

Get Em Tiger lyrics include such funny statements as “I got women in the ‘burbs Women in the the hood Yeah my wifey mad ’cause she knows I’m no good” and “Not the one you settle down with I’m the type that call up your friend And mess around with This is who I am This is how I love Still trying to find a place To swing my golf club

We at SaveFans! can’t wait to see what the PGA Golf tour is like when Tiger finally returns. Can you say circus?!?!

Die Hard Philadelphia Phillies Fan Allegedly Offers Sex For World Series Tix On Craigslist

Thursday, October 29th, 2009
Susan Finkelstein Sex For World Series Tickets 150x150 Die Hard Philadelphia Phillies Fan Allegedly Offers Sex For World Series Tix On Craigslist

Susan Finkelstein. (Bensalem Police Department / Associated Press)

The headline says it all and yes this is a TRUE STORY!

Crazy Philadelphia Phillies fan Susan Finkelstein faces criminal charges for allegedly soliciting sex for World Series tickets in the following Craigslist ad:

“DESPERATE BLONDE NEEDS WS TIX (Philadelphia)
“Diehard Phillies fan–gorgeous tall buxom blonde– in desperate need of two World Series Tickets. Price negotiable— I’m the creative type! Maybe we can help each other!”

Finkelstein vehemently denies the charges joking, “I was hoping to get cheap tickets and maybe meet someone, talk, bat my eyelashes, and maybe get some tickets.”

Her lawyer claims, “Nothing happened here. Police jumped the gun on this case, and I’m confident that Mrs. Finkelstein will be acquitted if this goes to trial.”

As fate would have it this new Internet celebrity’s email was flooded with ticket requests and she ended up seeing the Phillies beat the Yankees 6-1 last night at game 1 of the World Series at the New Yankee Stadium.

And just to clarify in case this story is giving you ideas – no, sex cannot be offered as payment on SaveFans! If you want to buy World Series tickets our sellers are open to negotiation – but please… Cash or Credit Card only!
