This ball boy does not have the same, um, “set of excuses” as his female spring training counterparts. Next time you want to get into a Kansas City Royals game, dude, just ask. A video comparison of Hooters and non-Hooters related sports bloopers after the jump.

Derek Jeter made diving into the stands behind 3rd base ironic. Now, Hooters ball girls employed by the Phillies for Spring Training have made that same area, well, moronic. Can’t say we’re too surprised. More video after the jump.

Derek Jeter made diving into the stands behind 3rd base iconic. Now, Hooters ball girls have made that same area, well, moronic. You’d think by now they’d realize that ball-go-hard-if-hit-head-ouchie-need-to-move. Nope.

You’re a ballboy/girl/person. You sit in foul territory. You retrieve foul balls in your area. You give them to fans, engendering goodwill with said fans. Simple enough task. But sometimes, the ball winds up in foul territory near you despite it not actually being a foul ball. In these cases, you do not want to pick the ball up and give it to a fan. But maybe one time, mistakenly, you do. And when you do, you are glad that it’s spring training and no one cares anyway. [Reddit]

Starting New Years’ Eve, Hogan’s Beach, the name of Hulk Hogan’s new restaurant at the Best Western Bay Harbor hotel in Tampa, will be home to three separate food menus, a 360-seat bar and restaurant, a white sand beach and a mechanical shark ride. But Hogan and partner Ben Mallah aren’t just opening the restaurant – there will be a masquerade party on the last night of the 2012 calendar year.

The Boston Herald is reporting that “ex party-boy” (huh?) Wes Welker is engaged to girlfriend and ex-Hooters girl Anna Burns. Oh, and also: he and Anna spend their time, according to the Herald, “at the local Whole Foods buying ingredients for eggplant parm.” Fantastic. Images, after the jump.

“Hoosiers.” “Hooters.” Two similar-sounding words. Two very different meanings. One local reporter found this out during a live report, and yes, it’s on YouTube.

It’s almost enough to feel bad. Someone at Hooters thought they had a good idea. Someone else agreed. Up the chain it went, and apparently it was popular enough to get green-lighted by someone at the company who makes not-insignificant decisions. They probably had visions of accolades for putting together a September 11 tribute – a classy thing for any organization to do, no?

And then…the tribute came out. It’s after the jump. It’s – well, it’s really something.

Patriots receiver Wes Welker has a hot girlfriend, or something. Her name is Anna Burns, or something. You will see more of her after the jump. Or something.
