Saturday Blogdome: Mike Tyson receives esteemed award, ready to fade into Bolivan

* Mike Tyson wins ‘Ghirlande D’Honneur’. Mike Tyson receives the ‘Ghirlande D’Honneur’ award from Franco Ascani at Just Cavalli Cafe today in Milan, Italy. Cavalli chairs the Federation Internationale Cinema Television Sportifs and its “Garlands of Honor” is the highest award it hands out. Pele got one. Now…Tyson? [Bob's Blitz]
* Larry King’s Friday News And Views. With his reign as host of his nightly show on CNN coming to a close, Larry King has agreed to reprise his old USA Today News and Views column in this space on Bugs & Cranks. Larry will be riffing on baseball, sports, entertainment, life, and whatever other topics happen to be on his mind. [Bugs & Cranks]

* Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh Introduced to Miami. The Miami Heat introduced Dwyane Wade, LeBron James and Chris Bosh to the city and world (with James and Bosh sporting their new uniforms) at a welcome party held at the American Airlines Arena Friday night. Wade wore his usual number three while LeBron broke out the new number six jersey and Bosh changed from four to one. The intro lacked a LeBron James opening dance routine and clowning around which is good because Cavs owner Dan Gilbert probably would’ve driven to Miami to take a swing at LeBron. [You Been Blinded]
* Why LeBron Is No Longer “The King”. For most of his career, LeBron James has been referred to as “King James.” Well, I don’t want to hear that anymore. I’m not bitter about the fact that he won’t be wearing a Chicago Bulls jersey — it was a far-fetched dream anyways. But I’ll give you some reasons why he is no longer basketball royalty in my books.

* Jayson Werth Terrorizes Child, Hurts Trade Value. Last night, Jayson Werth collided with a fan while reaching into the stands for a foul ball. He responded in the only logical way: By cursing out the dude, and by proxy his kid and the entire section. Look how horrified everyone is! This is instantly in my top 10 favorite Phillies plays of all time. [Walkoff Walk]
Hey Look! A Lacrosse Post On A Sports Blog That Has Nothing To Do With Murder or Sexual Assault.
That is, unless of course, you count the murdering of my ears by the video maker’s music selection. No, but seriously did you see the fat lacrosse douche with no shoes attempt to do something athletic? HIGH-liarious. [Tirico Suave]
Finally, a little bit of shameless self-promotion:
* I Have Seen The Future In Hottie Sideline Reporters And Her Name Is Natalie Kane As the proprietor of this here blog, nothing makes me happier when I can introduce my readers to something new and interesting that they may have not seen or heard about before. And as a Minnesotan, it brings me a dose of pride when said new and interesting item is a beautiful young lady who just so happens to hail from the Land of 10,000 Lakes, so much the better. Ladies and germs, allow me to introduce you to a brand new entry on the Hottie Sideline Reporter Department: Natalie Kane. [Sportress of Blogitude]
