It is a fact that Duke sucks. This has been undisputed for some time. However, a Kentucky judge has also weighed in with a gigantic “Duke Sucks” of his own. Click on the Duke Football picture below for more information.
And to go along with this brilliant story about Duke sucking, please find one of our favorite YouTube videos of all time. There is a tiny bit of harsh language in the clip, so you may want to turn your speakers down (or up, depending on where you work).
Odenized is a great site that posts various sports clips on an almost daily basis. We have had a number of readers submit clips from this site, so we thought that we would share the site with all of you. While the site is not the most complex site we have ever seen, it does have some great content. In addition to posting humorous videos, Odenized posts the most talked about highlights and clips from last night’s games.
In case you are wondering what “Odenized” means, the site offers the following:
Main Entry: oden·ize
Pronunciation: \ˈō-də- , nīz\
Function: transitive verb
Inflected Form(s): oden·ized; oden·izing
Etymology: Greg Oden, American basketball player
Date: 2007
: to express control and composure by suppressing one’s emotions (the point guard odenized himself before calmly sinking the game-winner)
Odenized also offers the following ESPN commercial (which is one of our all time favorites) as an example of the comedic brillance of its namesake.
Unfortunately, this site has also called into question our support of Barack Obama. How does a sports website do this you ask? See below.
In honor of the upcoming Father’s Day, we give you a hilarious blog post about athletes and their illegitimate children. The post was written last year for Father’s Day and we can only hope that the author updates it this year (and if he does, we will be sure to let you know).
Peja…. Patrick Ewing….. Hakeem…. really?!?

If you are like us at Chillable Hours, you often feel like you should send someone a thank you card or a get well card or something other type of greeting card, but you really just don’t want to put in the effort to walk to a store to buy the card.
As a result, you usually end up sending an Ecard. Unfortunately, whenever you go to one of the usual suspects for online greeting cards, they only have a very few and VERY cheesy free ecards (and you are not going to pay a few bucks for an emailed greeting card).
Someecards.com is a fantastic alternative to sending out lame Ecards. In fact, we have been sending out Ecards to our friends and enemies all morning because this site has some seriously funny stuff. They even have some hilarious TGIF and memorial day weekend cards.
Check it out. Send to all those around you. Let us know what you favorite Ecards are in the comments section below.
The USC Trojans have received quite a bit of bad press lately from the O.J. Mayo scandal, however, this definitely has not been the first blemish on the Trojans’ record.
One of our loyal readers - TommyC - sent us the following link to a story on Bruinsnation.com that includes a truly impressive amount of information “regarding the scandal, criminality, investigations, embarrassing incidents and other assorted black eyes that have plagued USC since Pete Carroll’s tenure began six years ago.”
We don’t want to say that USC may play a little fast and loose with the rules, but will instead let all of you make your own judgments after reading the linked story. Click on the picture of O.J. below to go to the story…
We would love to hear what you guys think about USC and their recent “issues” in the comments below.
There has been no one better. There currently is no one better.
The team at Chillable Hours is getting tired of hearing announcers talk about players who “are as good as” or “could be the next” Michael. Not true. No way.
Sorry Kobe. Sorry Lebron. Sorry Craig Ehlo.
I can close my eyes and remember lacing up a new pair of Jordan’s as a teenager and marking an imaginary free throw line on the concrete, before taking off from at least three feet away and dunking on a seven-foot rim with my tongue out. Good times. Sorry Cleveland.
One of our loyal readers sent me a fantastic link that caused me to simply ignore all of my responsibilities for a good portion of the work day. After reading our post on Nintendo8.com, DaleC sent us a link to the Virtual NES. After a few hours of playing Paperboy and Major League Baseball, I had to physically move away from my computer to avoid spending the entire afternoon searching all of the games on this site.
Virtual NES is Jay-Z to Nintendo8’s Soulja Boy. In fact, we have taken out the links in the Nintendo8 post, because there simply is no reason to go there after discovering Virtual NES.
If you grew up in the 80s or played the original NES, you will quickly become addicted to Virtual NES.
Thank DaleC later for this great submission and prepare to not do whatever you had planned for the next few hours.
Anyone that grew up in the late 80’s or early 90’s probably had an 8-bit Nintendo - you know the old grey box with controllers that only had start, select, x and y buttons. Now you can play any of the classic Nintendo games on Nintendo8.com - including Mario Brothers, Legend of Zelda, Tetris and Double Dragon.
Maybe not the most mentally stimulating website out there, but definitely a blast from the past, and c’mon, we all need to do something when we are supposed to be listening to conference calls.
Also, Nintendo8.com works best with a Firefox browser, which you should definitely download if you have not already. Chillable Hours is a big fan of Firefox and suggests that all of our readers download it from www.firefox.com.
After posting “A good walk spoiled” earlier this week, a good friend pointed us to a great site for Yahoo members that will help you figure out and track your handicap.
Yahoo’s HandicapTracker lets you keep a record of the rounds you’ve played and calculates your handicap rating based on your scores. You can track your golf game in as much detail as you want - enter only your score for the round, or record your hole-by-hole performance, including such details as whether your drive hit the fairway or how many putts you took to hole out.
The site also allows you to create or join a group to monitor how well your friends are playing and to make sure they are not sandbagging when you guys are playing for money.
When not logging Chillable Hours in the office, a good way to log a few Chillable Hours outside of the office is on the golf course. There is nothing better than getting up on a Saturday or Sunday morning (or leaving the office early on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday) and getting in a round of golf with a group of good friends.
A few things can make a round even better, like crushing a 300-yard drive, sinking a long putt or winning a few bucks off your buddies.
Unfortunately, a few things can also make a round frustrating, such as slow AARP members in the group in front of you, losing over a two dozen golf balls in one round or a slow beer cart.
I am always trying to get friends to join me on the course, even if they have never played before. I tell people that even if you have never swung a golf club, anyone can drive a golf cart with reckless abandon, make fun of other people’s bad shots and complain about their bosses and co-workers (all things that make a round of golf wonderful).
Below are a few clips that can help even the newest golfer - the first clip introduces a few basic mechanics (sorry for the quality of the vid) and the second is a tad bit more advanced…

And if you can’t get out of the office - you can always challenge your friends to a round of mini-putt (or kill a few Chillable Hours playing solo).
Chillable Hours provides a quick (or not so quick) break from the monotony that often accompanies an office job. Take a few minutes (or a few hours) to peruse the pages of Chillable Hours and enjoy the break!
