Video: Pwned At Preakness & The Nigerian Nightmare
By Jay Busbee | May 22, 2007
Hey, how about some video to get your morning kicked off right? First up, The Dude Abides brings us this savage journey to the heart of the American Dream…or at least the heart of the Preakness infield. You’ve seen the dapper gents and elegant ladies in the luxury boxes clapping politely when their horse wins (and beating the help when he loses). This…well, this is a long way from that. We defy you not to catch a contact high while watching this segment of BogTV:
Our personal favorite is the Ravens safety who says “You need protection in there!” No doubt…that’s fourteen careers’ worth of suspensions just waiting to happen.
Next, Sportable brings us the Top 10 Most Dominant Video Game Athletes Ever. We call Bravo Sierra on this list simply because it doesn’t include Christian Okoye from the old Tecmo Bowl game, who literally could not be tackled. Other than that, they’re dead-on. But observe this run by Okoye, in which he eludes about 60 tackles and, at one point, just stands there while defenders bounce off him:
We’d also include Tommy Vercetti from Grand Theft Auto: Vice City — that guy could run a mile, jack a cop car, rob a bank, destroy a shopping mall, and entertain a hooker, and his heart wouldn’t explode. That’s an athlete in our book.

Wow Marylanders really did themselves proud with that little fun filled Preakness clip. Utterly embarassing and classless. Keep the horse racing in Kentucky. May God have mercy on my soul if I ever set foot there.
Oh and Miss Preakness was disgusting.

Hey, now. Be nice. Miss Preakness finished a respectable fifth in the race.

That was the awesome thing about video Okoye - you didn’t juke (Christian didn’t believe in “change of direction”), you just plowed the unbelievers asunder.

Oh my God, we spent so many Christmases playing that game we even came up with our own theme song–”The Power of Okoye.” My wife (then girlfriend) didn’t really get how unbelievably awesome this was.
