Jenkat Games or Jencat Games, call us whatever makes you feel good!

Okay, there are a lot of reasons… but when you watch something like this (see below) , it reinforces how amazingly athletic and resilient our Olympic athletes are, and how stupid some of us regular joes are.  Don’t you just love someone willing to try anything once, especially with a camera running?   

And… a side note of congrats to the real atheletes, the 2008 Olympic medal winners – especially YOU, Michael Phelps!  As they say — kids, don’t try this at home!

Yeah, this is a little out of the realm of Jenkat, but I love baseball so much I wanted to give you my picks for 2008.  This is a traditional I’ve done with a friend of mine for the last who-knows-how-long, so I figured I’d make it official and post it here on Jenkat.

Plus, with all these “baseball experts” it seems they always pick the same teams for the new season that won the previous season, nevermind the “experts” didn’t pick the teams that won last season.  Goofballs.

Here’s my picks:

AL East Winner:  New York Yankees
AL Central Winner:  Chicago White Sox
AL West Winner: Seattle Mariners
AL Wildcard:  Tampa Bay Rays (yeah, you read that right - they’re my surprise team in ‘08)

NL East Winner: New York Mets
NL Central Winner: Milwauke Brewers
NL West Winner: Los Angeles Dodgers
NL Wildcard: Arizona Diamondbacks

AL Cy Young: Rich Harden, Oakland
NL Cy Young: Ben Sheets, Milwaukee

NL MVP: Richie Sexson, Seattle
NL MVP: Prince Fielder, Milwaukee

World Series:  Seattle over Milwaukee

* I should declare that I’m actually a Twins fan and as much as I’d like to pick them to win, I think the White Sox will win that division over the Indians and Tigers.  The Sox have a lot of free agents after this year and money is a heck of a motivator!

A friend forwarded this video to me yesterday - maybe I am turning to a cynic in the age of the World Wide Web - but I just can’t believe this guy is for real!  My disbelief probably stems from the fact that my athletic agility equals that of a soggy pancake (Mmm, pancakes!)… plus, I usually only see stunts of this caliber in video games.  

My opinion is that this clip has to be edited, but give it a watch and let me know what you think.
