Hello Machochip readers, its Alex. This is a note (or “post” if you’re going to get all technical about it) to let you know that last week was truly my last at Machochip. I want to thank all of the readers, as well as everyone else who made this blog really fun to write for. [...]

Considering how much we love Kobe Bryant—defending-him-even-though-the-facts-are-against-him kinda love—we know he’s the NBA’s answer to Patrick Bateman. His cool, reserved demeanor on the court that he uses to put opponents away also translates in his interviews.

At this point, hot women in painted-on athletic jerseys are cliche. But these two lasses are a perfect example of why chiches are sometimes okay to use (although, dude at the end? Shut up). [YouTube]

There’s something about this video that’s so endearing to us. Follow us as we try to dissect it—team scores goal; celebrates; however, the ref has disallowed the goal; so therefore the other team has retained possession of the ball and goes basically unchallenged for a score; the other team, realizing that the goal has been [...]

Who: David Beckham, AC Milan
Opponent: Genoa
League/Tournament: Serie A
Que Paso?: With every passing day, it looks like the Galaxy are losing their grip on David Beckham. That’s because he’s continuing to amaze the Milanese crowd with amazing moves and goals, like this free kick that tied the game with Genoa yesterday. Really, it’s classic Beckham—a bending [...]

Because you’re either at lunch on the east coast, thinking about lunch in central time or just got into work on the west coast, we thought we’d liven up your free time with some beautiful women in bikinis. Today it’s former Playboy and Hawaiian Tropic model (and WWE wrestler) Ashley Massaro. If you want to [...]

Now that the curtains have been lifted and the May bout between Ricky Hatton and Manny Pacquiao is moving forward, the Mancunian Candidate isn’t wasting any time hyping up his fight. The thing is, because he’s so genial, most of Hatton’s talking is about how great the Pac Man is, and not how he’s going [...]

If anyone’s forgotten, Mickey Rourke is pretty crazy. So when we were watching the SAG Awards on Sunday (hey, we like the girls in the dresses), and Mickey Rourke told the world that he was going to wrestle Chris Jericho in Wrestlemania 25, we thought it was a case of his method acting going a [...]

Common Sense Media—which rates TV shows, movies and video games to parents— logged more than 50 hours watching NFL games this season and the 5,000 commercials that went with them. Now, it’s published a report that says half of the commercial breaks during games have at least one ad that featured sex, drugs (the [...]

Well, it looks like Antonio Margarito knew something that we didn’t, or else we would’ve put the house on Sugar Shane Mosley on Saturday night (except: we don’t own a house). When Mosley’s trainers objected to the way the Tijuana Thunder’s hands were wrapped before the fight, members of the California State Athletic Commission decided [...]

Whas happened in sports last night.

College Basketball: Last week, Wake Forest was the number one team in the country… but that was before Virginia Tech beat them at Wake. That created a path for Duke to be that top gunna, but they pissed the number one ranking away last night as they lost to Wake [...]

We were just out walking the dogs in the snow (damn it’s cold), and we just got our latest issue of ESPN The Magazine in the mail (don’t judge us—we get it with the subscription to Insider). It’s a rote “fan issue,” but we love this picture of Kobe Bryant in his Barcelona kit, because [...]

We’ve gotta give props to Oklahoma high school basketball player Donte’ Foster for draining this last-second shot that Robert Horry wishes he had in his repertoire. [YouTube]

They both wear red. They both win. They both have fabulous teeth. Cristiano Ronaldo and Tiger Woods are both amazing athletes who share a lot in common, so maybe that’s why the Manchester United superstar is so keen on wanting to meet him. When he was asked who he wanted to meet, Ronaldo mentioned that [...]

Who: Cristiano Ronalo, Manchester United
Opponent: West Brom
League/Tournament: EPL
Que Paso?: After a layoff, Man U’s first team had a chance to get on the incredible roll their second string has been putting them on in the non-EPL matches. Yesterday they handed West Brom their asses 5-0, which was capped off by this shot between the legs [...]

Because you’re either at lunch on the east coast, thinking about lunch in central time or just got into work on the west coast, we thought we’d liven up your free time with some beautiful women in bikinis. Today it’s half Cuban, half Puerto Rican bootylicious model Joanna Pena. If you want to check out [...]

Does this face look like it belongs to a scumbag? According to former Buc and current malconent/free agent Simeon Rice it does. Rice was on the “Movin’ The Chains” radio show when he unleashed a torrent of hell fire on the recently fired Jon Gruden, his former coach who he won a Super Bowl with. [...]

Is Oscar De La Hoya trying to leave the supposed moribund body of boxing on the side of the road, only to drive off with a healthier and robust MMA? That’s what been swirling around the water cooler these days as Golden Boy Promotions has taken a penchant for promoting MMA fights, in particular Affliction [...]

Brazilian soccer ace Robinho was taken into custody when he arrived in England after ducking his Manchester City club for two weeks.

After ten years of futility by the Mexican national soccer team trying to beat the U.S. at home, some Mexicans have had enough. So to help El Tri prepare for the February 11th showdown with the U.S., the Record sports journal has teamed up with Radio Shacks in Mexico to hand out Voodoo dolls representing [...]
