Steve Phillips opened a can of worms at ESPN! Katey Lacey and David Berson have been fired over affair rumors which came out shortly after the big Phillips’ Brooke Hundley affair scandal, according to Deadspin. ESPN confirmed the reports, saying, “At the expiration of their contracts, neither will be renewed.”

David is now a divorced man but his relationship with fellow colleague Katey started long before he thought about separating from his wife Jane Berson.

Former NFL linebacker Chris Spielman’s wife Stefanie Spielman passed away at the age of 42 after a long battle against breast cancer on Thursday (November 19). Stefanie had been diagnosed with breast cancer about 12 years ago when she was 30 years old and three months pregnant.

“Stefanie has gone home to be with the Lord,” Chris Spielman said in a statement. “For that, we celebrate, but with broken hearts. I want to thank everyone for their support over the last 12 years. Together, with your help, hopefully we made a difference in this fight.”

Stefanie, who created a support group for young women with breast cancer and created a fund to help breast cancer patients and their families, was inducted into the Ohio Women’s Hall of Fame in 2002 for her work. R.I.P. Stefanie Spielman!

Thierry Henry’s Handball Goal VIDEO

Thierry Henry Handball Video Photos

French soccer player Thierry Henry saved his country from complete disgrace when he scored a handball goal during the playoff game against Ireland on Wednesday (November 18), which qualified his country for the World Cup. The Swedish referee failed to see something as obvious as that hand on the ball and France avoided going to penalty-kicks, winning the game for 2-1.

Later, Thierry confessed it was a handball: “I will be honest, it was a handball. But I’m not the ref. I played it, the ref allowed it. That’s a question you should ask him.” Thierry joins Maradona in the restrict group of soccer players who can get away with anything. We demand a rematch, which, of course, is not going to happen.

Bud Adams Flips Off Bills Machine Gun Style (Video)


Tennessee Titans owner Bud Adams let the Jack Daniels do the talking against the Buffalo Bills as Adams set off a series of middle finger salutes directed towards the Bills sideline on Sunday.

Adams started by doing the Texas Longhorns’ ‘Hook’em Horns’ hand sign. This then evolved into a double-barrel middle finger salute execution of the Bills sideline. Adams very well could have been saying “F-YOU” to all of the haters that have ragged on him for drafting Vince Young, who has had more downs than ups, but who has led the Titans to three wins in a row as of Sunday.

In the video you can tell Adams has likely been drinking a bit as he seems to have a bit more natural rhythm than he normally would. His middle finger salute is an instant classic.

The video above is a must see. It’s always funny and amusing to see a drunk-old man do stuff that he would probably normally ridicule his own players for doing.

The NFL is looking into the incident and could possibly fine Bud. He has owned the team since 1960 and was an original co-founder of the AFL.

UPDATE: Bud Adams has issued an apology for his actions, expects fine.

(REFRESH BROWSER FOR LATEST UPDATES)

Live round-by-r0und blog of championship fight between challenge Manny Pacquiao against WBO welterweight champion Miguel Cotto from Las Vegas.  The fight is scheduled for 12 rounds.  Pacquiao is moving up at weight class to try to take Cotto’s welterweight championship belt.

Main event about 10min away. Three Filipino women are currently singing the Filipino national anthem. Come on hurry it up ladies!  There is a ton of energy here in the arena just minutes before the start.

Pac walking to the ring in the colors of his homeland.  Pacquiao is a heavy favorite to win. He walked in while AC/DC’s ‘Thunderstruck’ and ‘Eye of the Tiger’ blared.  I believe Cotto has a chance tonight, but it will take all he has to defeat Manny.

Kenny Bayless is the referee for tonight’s main event.

Here comes Miguel Cotto walking towards the ring in a white rob, with Hispanic rap playing, while holding his WBO Championship belt. Cotto is all business/grimacing while Pacman is smiling at him.

Michael Buffer just did his over-hyped “Let’s get ready to rumble!”

Cotto is in the white and red. Both fighters have just touched gloves and it’s time to fight.  Here we go!

Welterweight Championship: Manny Pacquiao vs. Miguel Cotto

Round 1: Cotto is aggressive from the start. Pac tries to get close but Cotto keeps pushing him back with his jab. A good start for Cotto as he is setting the tempo early on.  Cotto is working Pac’s body and responds with a strong  jab after dodging an uppercut from Pac. Cotto is completely in control and is landing nearly every punch. He seems extremely prepared and if he can maintain his endurance he is going to have an easy night. First round comes to an end and goes to Cotto. Round: Cotto 10-9 go on reading »

Mike Tyson Arrested at LAX for Punching Paparazzi

Mike Tyson Arrested for Knock-Out Punch of Pappo

Mike Tyson has been arrested at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for battery according to TMZ.

Mike likely became a reborn hero to many celebrities as he punched out a paparazzi who harassed him at ticket counter.

TMZ: We’re told Tyson was at a ticket counter at the United Airlines terminal when the incident occurred. The photographer got punched in the face, hit the ground, got up and began walking, leaving a trail of blood.

Our guy on the scene says there’s blood on the ground and Mike was taken away in a squad car.

I hate to say it, but the dude probably deserved it, and if the paparazzi said anything about his dead child then Tyson should do it again and again to the dude.

Tony reveals that his health improved dramatically when he stopped eating meat, saying, “I’m going into my 13th year in the NFL, and I switched over [to a plant-based diet] two years ago. … [T]he day after a game, everybody’s sore … and I’m jumping rope and they’re looking at me like, ‘Man you’re supposed to be the old guy on the team. You’re acting like you’re the youngest guy on the team.’”

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Diagnosed With Leukemia

kareem-abdul-jabbar-nba-legend-pictures

NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was diagnosed with chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a rare form of leukemia, back in December 2008 but his prognosis is encouraging and he even turned into spokesman for Novartis, the Swiss pharmaceutical company Novartis, which makes a drug that treats the illness.

Kareem wants to make a different and raise awareness for this type of cancer. He said, “I’ve never been a person to share my private life. But I can help save lives. It’s incumbent on someone like me to talk about this.”

The 62 year-old was absolutely devastated and scared when he heard the diagnosis. “I was scared,” he said. “I thought it was all the same. I thought it could mean I have a month to live. That was my first question. Was I going to make it?”

The Lakers special assistant sends a message of hope for everyone suffering from this disease – he claims he continues to work and still manages to eat what he wants with some reservations. “I’m able to sneak out for Thai food,” Kareem said. “There is hope. This condition can be treated. You can still live a productive, full life. I’m living proof I can make it.” Keep strong, Kareem!!

Sammy Sosa Bleached Skin Controversy (Before & After Pictures)

Sammy Sosa Bleached Skin Before and After Pictures Photos

Former Chicago Cubs outfielder Sammy Sosa reportedly went through a skin rejuvenation process that has completely changed his skin pigmentation making it look whiter like it was bleached.

“He is going through a rejuvenation process for his skin,” former Cubs employee Rebecca Polihronis said. “Women have it all of the time. He was surprised he came out looking so white. I thought it was a body double. Part of (the photo appearance) is just the lighting.

“He is in the middle of doing a cleansing process to his skin. The picture is deceiving. He [Sammy] said, ‘If you saw me in person, you would be surprised. When you see me in person, it is not going to seem like the picture.’

“He has always been concerned with the way he looks,” she said. “Probably just bad timing going to an awards show.”

“He was doing a dermatological skin process after years and years (of playing baseball) in the sun,” Polihronis said. “It did come out looking weird (in the picture).”

Sammy did what Michael Jackson couldn’t! He went from black to white in less than six months (before and after photos below). Some speculate Sammy’s dramatic skin transformation is a result of vitiligo, which could have been caused by abuse of steroids. Sammy, who debuted his brand new “white” look at an event in Las Vegas last week, tested positive for steroids back in 2003.

Agassi also emotionally recalls of dark self-destructive pattern of crystal meth abuse and asks for compassion because he believes he had a problem but he won the battle in the end and became a better man.

Tim Floyd Breaks Up Cat Fight At Casino (VIDEOS)

Tim Floyd Breaks Fight At Casino Photos

Former USC coach Tim Floyd acted like a real hero when he decided to get in between and break up a nasty cat fight between real angry females at the Morango Casino outside of Palm Desert, California (watch videos below).

“I was leaving and then this thing happened in the food court,” Floyd said of the fight. “It looks like a bar but it’s a food court. All I can say is that it was more physical than anything I’d seen in the Pac-10 and decided somebody needed to break it up.”

“It was one of those deals where people were circling, chanting and cheering. It went on for 20-30 seconds before I walked up there. I was thinking someone would break it up but nobody would.”

Fortunately, the moment was caught on video and posted on YouTube. Tim was saved by fellow coach Henry Bibby who prevented another angry female from hitting him in the head with a chair. Hilarious!

Dickinson State Softball Players Found Dead in Car

Ashley Neufeld, Afton Williamson, and Kyrstin Gemar - Dickinson 3

Three missing Dickinson State (ND) softball players have been found dead in a car.  The Jeep automobile was pulled from a pond on Wednesday in Dickinson, North Dakota.

The three bodies found inside were Ashley Neufeld, 21; Afton Williamson, 20; and Kyrstin Gemar, 22.

The sunken 1997 Jeep Cherokee was found sunken to the bottom of the 12-foot pond by a search plane flying above it.

The Dickinson State University students were believed to be in the white 1997 Jeep Cherokee with California plates when two of their friends received telephone calls before the lines went dead. Police described the first as a “very scratchy” call for help in which one of the women said they were near a lake and water.

Banyai said the 12-foot-deep pond where the women were found is on a farm northwest of Dickinson, a city of 16,000 people about 100 miles west of Bismarck and 60 miles east of the Montana state line. Vehicle tracks were found leading into the pond Tuesday afternoon, he said.

Local police have ruled out foul play so far.  A memorial service was scheduled to be held Tuesday night on the Dickson State campus.

The Gators strong win against Georgia this week seemed to sway many voters that were on the Florida/Bama fence.  This could change this upcoming weekend if the Crimson Tide can manhandle the LSU Tigers.  The Tigers could leap frog into the Top 5 if they could pull off the upset.

Oregon broke into the Top 5 after their spanking of USC over the weekend.  The only blemish on their record is an opening game loss to Boise State.

The race for the National Championship continues to be a three-team race at this point between Florida, Alabama, and Texas.
