Mississippi Men’s Basketball Coach Arrested
by: Staff
Andy Kennedy, Head Coach of Men’s Basketball for Ole Miss was arrested for assault after a cab driver claimed he punched him and shouted racial slurs. The cab driver claims that Coach Kennedy got upset when he was told that he could not have five people in the cab and proceed to assault him. Here’s where the twist comes in, the entire coaching staff witnessed the situation. Based on that fact alone, we know that nothing will come of this because even if the assault took place no one is going to tell for fear of their job. (FoxSports)

Michael Vick may be moving one step closer to being back on the football field next fall. In a statement made by Vick’s Bankruptcy attorney Michael Blumenthal it was stated that his representatives are moving to get him released to a halfway house by late January. This would be great news for Vick but his creditors were not satisfied. They want a new statement that offers some assurance that he will regain his NFL career. So what team is willing to step up and say they’ll take him? (ESPN)
Giants Fan Ejected For Sexy Santa Costume
by: Staff
The folks in the front office of the New York Giants either have a problem with Christmas or boobs. We’re not sure which. Sondra Fortunato arrived at yesterdays game dressed in a sexy Santa costume with a suitcase of presents and signs. She was promptly escorted to the security office along with all the drunk and disorderlies, where she was told she could not have her signs and suitcase. But it didn’t end there.
Security went on to lecture her about her outfit. You see she was wearing a tiara, fishnets, a Santa outfit, a bathing-suit bottom and high-heeled boots.
“They said, ‘Can’t you come to the stadium dressed like a regular person?’ ” she said. “They said there were a lot of kids there.”
She was advised to wear a sweater to games.
Rudolph the Red Nosed T.O.
by: Staff
This is one of those interviews with T.O. where you simply aren’t listening to what he is saying. In yesterday’s post practice media interviews Owens was getting in the holiday spirit. Some of his fashion choices have been bold and distracting but this has to be the best of all. Props to the guy for not taking himself to seriously though.
Judge Overturns Suspensions in Minnesota
by: Staff
Looks like the Minnesota Vikings may get their defensive stars Kevin and Pat Williams back for Sunday’s game. A judge has temporarily blocked the suspension of the players saying he wanted more time to hear arguments but their status for Sunday is still unknown.
Hennepin County District Judge Gary Larson said “This is one of the more difficult cases I’ve had in 23 years. If I make a mistake, I’ve got to decide on a temporary basis which side I’m able to make the mistake on.”
He also stated that he expects the NFL to take it to a Federal court level in an effort to get his decision overturned and based on this statement I think he’s probably right: “There is no merit to this lawsuit and we will promptly seek to have the order reversed.”
Shaun Alexander Is Unemployed…Again
by: Staff
It’s amazing how fast a star can fall…and Shaun Alexander’s surely has fallen. Going from league MVP in 2005 and signing an 8 year $63 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks in ‘06 to being released just 2 years later in April 2008. Then getting signed by the Washington Redskins in October and released in November.
During his 5 game tenure with the Redskins, Alexander got just 11 carries for 24 yards. Ouch, that is nowhere near the yardage that a former MVP should be racking up. At the age of 31 it appears that Alexander is done in the NFL. He says that he’s healthy and ready to play but clearly his production has gone down and there is no demand for an aging, injury plagued running back.
Well, I hope they didn’t sell the house in Seattle because it looks like Shaun is going back to working out with the boys at UW.
