Some gross Christmas presents for you

A little while back, you may have heard that Mike Lowell's game used jock-strap got pulled off of eBay for being "adult-oriented material."

Well, there's more stuff available again.

Some dude named Phil Castinetti of a shop called SportsWorld in Saugus, MA has gotten his hands on a large collection of Red Sox All-Star underwear and he’s selling everything on eBay. And if you think that's gross, this is even worse. The rag of choice in Beantown, The Boston Herald, says that at the end of the season, the Sox throw stuff like this out and some enterprising dumpster-diving Fenway employees retrieved all of it. It's not pretty, but it pays the bills.

The bidding and selling of the items has been bizarre to say the least.

While Jason Varitek's spandex underwear went for $255, seldom used Matt Clement - who didn't make an appearance in 2007 - had his spandex underwear go for $430.

Equally strange is that Manny Ramirez's famous 'do rag has only gotten up to only $26 on bidding so far. And no one wants Manny's spandex underwear, which is stuck at $9.99.

Of course, people normally bid on items right before their time is set to expire, but I don't think anyone really wants Manny's stuff. I'm convinced he hasn't taken a shower in 3 years.

Papelbon's spandex is also available, in case you were wondering. And I know you weren't.

On the plus side though, at least this means Red Sox Nation's Christmas shopping will be done soon.

This truck gets 1.9 yards per gallon

LDT may not be having the best year so far, but whatever. We all know he's going to turn it around at some point. In the meantime, you can bid on his 2006 Lincoln Mark LT if you want.

That's right, the 2006 MVP's truck is up for sale on eBay. And you gotta love the way it's being advertised:

Yes, it’s true. This is the Lincoln Mark LT driven by Ladainian Tomlinson for the past year. This is the vehicle he drove during his MVP season. “Own a piece of football history.”

I'm not really sure the car is part of football history, seeing as it didn't score any touchdowns last year, but hey, whatever's good for business. Some of the accessories include 26” Giovanna Chrome Wheels ($7400) and a DVD-Amp-15” screen ($6200).

And in addition to that, LDT will sign the vehicle for you. Uh, ok.

“Some may have an autographed football, some may have an autographed helmet. But you could be the only one to have his autographed vehicle.” What is that worth. Imagine pulling up to the tailgate party in your, the only, LT signed Mark LT!

As much as I'd like his autograph, I can do without paying $55,000 for the car as well. I think I'll just see if he'll autograph my 1988 Chevy half-ton pickup. That should probably quadruple its value.

College football loyalty is up for sale on eBay

Michigan fans are continuing to take their hideous start to the 2007 campaign badly. But one guy is taking it a little further than most.

A guy on eBay, who's totally fed up with the Wolverines, is now auctioning off his allegiance to whoever wants to bid on it.

The events of the last two weeks have caused me to take drastic action. In light of the opening week loss to Appalachian State (that I witnessed first hand) and in light of the subsequent beating that we received from the University of Oregon - I am hereby placing my college allegiance up for auction.

And don't worry if you want him to root for your Division III football team. He's open to any division in college.

You also have the option - by bidding price - of what he'll do for your team.

$50 - I will wear a jersey on gamedays
$100 - I will wear team colors to church

$150 - I will learn the fight song and sing it in a public place

$300 - I will buy team gear for my children

$500 - I will paint my face on game day and go to a public setting to watch the game

$750 - I will fly the team flag at my house

$1000 - I will wear team colors for a week

And you'll love this. He also says: "I am open to other ideas..."

I wonder what he'll do for $10,000. Maybe tea-bag your arch rival's mascot.
