Another episode of Nancy Grace focused on Ron Goldman's quest to get the earnings and likeness of the 'killer'. Meanwhile producer who owns a trove of O.J. Simpson footage is offering it to Goldman as payment for the wrongful-death judgment levied against the infamous murder defendant. Norman Pardo says he will give Goldman all 71 hours of often-shocking footage of the jusice, shot in 2001-05 as Simpson made public appearances designed to 'rehab his image', in return for the right to Goldman's share of the $33.5 million judgment. Some of the videos appear for free on judgeoj.com, and show the 'killer' dancing with beautiful women and calling Oprah Winfrey a bitch. Meanwhile Kato Kaelin was among the guests on Grace's show, and says that Simpson is stunned that people who come out to see him don't ask him at all about his football exploits.JERRY PORTER LAUGHING ON SIDELINE??? I told you that there were better receivers and better characters for the Green Bay Packers to acquire. After watching Aaron Brooks get sacked for the seventh time, disgruntled WR Jerry Porter was said to had been seen on the Raiders sideline 'laughing' and pumping his fist. If true, that almost sounds like a Billy Koch stunt (wore a Devil Rays jersey and heckled the Blue Jays bullpen after getting cut by Toronto). Porter should had been like that guy in Wildcats and got up to coach Marty before the game and said 'I'm neutral...' BU HOCKEY FANS TOLD TO ZIP IT... Boston University has has issued a new policy that prohibits swearing by fans at sporting events. Racist or sexist chants would also be banned. The policy is mostly directed at rabid fans of BU's nationally-ranked hockey team, where fans call themselves the Dog Pound and often bark obscenities while taunting opposing players and rival fans. The Dean of students Kenneth Elmore says the school adopted the no-swearing policy after numerous complaints about profane language during hockey games. Dog pound members aren't happy. with one 18-year old student calling it an infringement on freedom of speech - also adding that 'sports won't be fun anymore'. Sometimes I can't tell the difference between an Onion story or a real AP story anymore.  FOLEY STILL IN BAD SHAPE... Eight days after his run-in with an off-duty officer, Chargers linebacker remains hospitalized in fair condition, according to the players agent. At right companion Lisa Marie Gaut is arraigned in San Diego Superior Court. Being in a dark blue scrub in a 'superior' court is never a good thing. TOM FLORES RIPS CHARGERS FOR 'HONORING' FOLEY: During Monday night's Chargers/Raiders broadcast, Raiders play-by-play voice Greg Papa notes that Chargers defensive players were doing Foley's celebration dance after making big plays in a show of support for their teammate - after which analyst Flores chimed 'I don't know why they would honor someone who got shot three times because of his own stupidity...' Papa then explains that the display from the San Diego players was their way of them showing that they are thinking of Foley, after which Flores comments 'Perhaps they should low-key it a bit...' Papa then goes into the matter further, explaining that Foley has been placed on the non-football injury list and will not get paid for the season, which he assumes does not sit well with his teammates.SECOND NASCAR DRIVER TO GET 'LIFETIME' SUSPENSION... NASCAR has suspended Kevin Grubb indefinitely because he refused to submit to a 'random' drug test after wrecking at Richmond over the weekend. Grubb was suspended in March 2004 for failing a drug test, but agreed as part of his reinstatement this June to random testing. But when NASCAR officials approached him Friday, Grubb reportedly twice refused to submit a sample. Grubb said was thankful for his second chance in an interview earlier this summer, noting he had spent his time away from the sport working with his father's crane business in Virginia.  MORON ROBINSON SIGNS WITH GREEN BAY... How long before the NFL suspends him could be another matter. I would have given David Boston a call myself. Keep in mind the Packers will only be paying him minimum salary, as opposed to the lucrative contract he would had gotten with the Vikings. FANS TAUNTED BY PLAYERS IN MLS??? It's perhaps the most prestigeous trophy in North American sports - it's called the Rocky Mountain cup, which goes to the winner of the hotly contested season series between the Colorado Rapids and Real Salt Lake. How do I know how big the Rocky Mountain Cup is??? Let's just say all hell nearly broke loose at Rice-Eccels stadium after Rapids players allegedly taunted RSL fans with the cherished hardware after a 1-0 win on 'Youth Soccer Night'. The display led to a heated argument between outspoken RSL owner Dave Checketts and Colorado captain Pablo Mastroeni. Checketts claimed that Rapids players gave obscene gestures to the fans and sent video to the league office. Although the league decided no players will be disciplined, the commissioner did note that there were 'certain celebratory acts' which were deemed 'unprofessional and inappropriate'. The commissioner also said that the league will also address security concerns at RSL home games.WHAT ABOUT THE THIRD MANNING??? So Peyton was the middle brother, and Eli the youngest - for a parent to have two sons who wind up #1 overall picks in the NFL Draft would almost be like hitting the lottery twice. But the question still has to be asked, what about the first brother??? Well, Cooper Manning was a pretty highly touted prep player in his time - the only difference was that he was a wide receiver, in fact Peyton Manning's favorite target at Newman High School in New Orleans. Cooper did get a scholarship to Ol' Miss, but his football career ended when he was diagnosed with spinal stenosis. Cooper's high school number was #18, the number Peyton Manning eventaully took with the Colts. According to Wikipedia, Cooper now works for a New Orleans-based energy research firm.  LONG-TIME NEW ORLEANS SPORTSCASTER CHARGED IN MOB-STYLE HIT ON WIFE... Colorful, long-time WWL talk show host Vince Marinello is on suicide watch in a jail tonight after being charged in the 'gangland style' slaying of his estranged wife. Marinello, 69, stands accused of donning a fake mustache and beard before getting on his bicycle and shooting 45-year old Mary Elizabeth Marinello in a suburban parking lot. It's said that Mary Elizabeth wanted a divorce in July after discovering that Vinnie was still married to another woman when they married two years earlier. The prosecutions case was cemented when authorities searched Marinello's Katrina-damaged house, the FEMA trailer he lived in, and the home of a friend. The Sherriff says that a handwritten checklist of the alleged plans for the attack was found which was considerd 'just as good as a confession'.Marinello grew up in a close-knit Italian community of the French Quarter before becoming a New Orleans sportscaster for a quarter of a century, and also did a horse racing handicapping show that was televised to betting establishments nationwide. After Hurricane Katrina hit, Marinello switched his WWL talk show's focus from sports to hurricane relief.55, AND 56... Make it 24 home runs in 43 games for Ryan Howard. If he can continue that pace Howard would finish the season with 66 or 67 home runs. YET ANOTHER NFL PLAYER ARRESTED: Didn't anyone notice the Department of Transportation's warning of unprecedented stepped-up enforcement last weekend??? Steve Foley, Lions assistant, now this - Jaguars cornerback Brian Williams is expected to start against the Dallas Cowboys despite his arrest last weekend for allegedly driving under the influence. Officers said they pulled over Williams when they saw his 2006 Bentley swerving early Saturday morning. According to the arrest report, the officer noticed an odor of alcohol, but Williams denied he was drinking. Williams would then stumble out of the car, refuse to blow, then In a field sobriety test, then stepped off the line three times during a field sobriety test before he reportedly decided he would no longer cooperate. After being placed in the back-seat cage of the patrol car, Williams (who is black) used racial slurs toward the arresting officer along with some other profanity/cursing.  WEEK 2 NCAA MORE THAN OHIO ST./TEXAS... Just two years ago they were once proud programs who had fallen on hard times, now Penn St./Notre Dame has become one of the toughest tickets ever to get in South Bend. Some tickets are going for more than $1,000 a pop and hotels are charging $600 a night/three nights minimum. The last time the two teams met, Rick Mirer and Jerome Bettis provided the heroics on a snow-covered field in a memorable 1992 contest that is considered one of the most memorable games in Notre Dame history.JOE CULLEN UPDATE, HE ORDERED A BURGER, FRIES, AND DRINK... On August 24th, the night before the Lions flew out to the west coast for a pre-season game, defensive line coach Joe Cullen pulled up to a Wendy's drive-thru and opened a #1 Combo, a single burger, fries, and soft drink - where the close manager noticed that the driver wasn't wearing anything. Wait - 'Do you want to try one of our new Frescata sandwiches, Or one of our double mushroom/swiss burgers??? How about one of our new Vanilla Frostys??? I'm sure they got their sell lines off nonetheless, they may really shock the world by introducing a strawberry or even banana Frosty next year. In any event the manager called the police, and was frustrated because he said the cops didn't seem to be taking him seriously. They did find Cullen and made the arrest however. Although the Lions organization said the arrest was alcohol related, he was only charged for indicent exposure, not a DUI. Like some have said, this is one case when you hope someone was legally drunk, because if Cullen was not then he's in real need for a shrink.  RACING ICON DIES IN RALLY CRASH: Peter Brock, one of Australia's most successful and well-known race car drivers, died Friday in an accident during a rally in Western Australia. Brock, 61, died when his car crashed into a tree during the Targa West rally. Brock dominated Australian auto racing for three decades before retiring from the touring car circuit in 1997. He made a couple of brief comebacks and at one stage owned a race team. The accident marked the second death this week of an iconic Australian, coming four days after Steve Irwin was killed by the barb of a stingray on the Great Barrier Reef.PANTHERS FAN TO GET HIS RIG... If you watched the actual telecast a few weeks back you probably remember this nonsense. Play-by-play man Dick Stockton (who suddenly seems in the early stages of Pat Summerall dementia) started billing a 'car give-away' at the conclusion of the Dolphins/Panthers pre-season telecast, they had Tony Siragusa give away 'a car' to signature Panthers fan Greg 'Catman' Good, who even at 6'4" 340 looks small compared to Siragusa. Expecting a real car to come rolling out of the tunnel, Goose instead ends up handing Cat some sort of toy Matchbox car. Cat was trying to laugh it off, but you could tell he felt being used - the least they could had done is give him a Kevin Harvick die-cast. Now Fox Sports president Dave Hill has decided to right the wrong - he is flying out to Charlotte and will personally give Catman a new Ford F-150 truck, I'm guessing they might make the presentation on-air during the Panthers game this weekend.  NAKED REVERSE - LIONS COACH ARRESTED TWICE IN TWO WEEKS!!! Can we start the Fire Millen campaign already?? Detroit Lions assistant coach Joe Cullen has been arrested twice in the past two weeks — once on just a plain DUI charge and another for DRIVING NAKED!!!. Not surprisingly the organization he was drinking on that occasion as well. Cullen has posted bond in both misdemeanor cases and was coaching at Wednesday's practice. The 38-year-old defensive line coach, who was hired from that powerhouse at the the University of Illinois, issued a statement Wednesday to apologize. Cullen also had a stint at the University of Mississippi which ended after an alcohol-related incident in a restaurant. Matt Millen said in a statement that Cullen has requested treatment, saying 'We are obviously very disappointed.' What happens at Ford Field if Seattle gets up by three touchdowns on Sunday??? And if Joe is driving around Dearborn in December in his birthday suit, then we REALLY HAVE A PROBLEM!!!STEVE FOLEY NOT TALKING TO INVESTIGATORS... Still hospitalized with three gunshot wounds, Chargers linebacker Steve Foley has refused to speak with detectives who are investigating his shooting on by an off-duty police officer. Meanwhile, it turns out that the Quickdraw-Rick McGraw who followed Foley clear across town is a mere rookie on the force. Investigators have interviewed Aaron Mansker, 23, who started his law enforcement career as a Palomar College campus police officer. Mansker was not in uniform and was driving his own car, a black Mazda, home from work when he spotted Foley's Oldsmobile weaving on a local highway. Foley, who was shot in his hand, upper thigh and lower inner thigh has not as yet been charged. However his female companion has already been in court and faces several charges. STEVE IRWIN, DAY 3... As the fallen naturalist and showman's death has already has taken it's place with the likes of Dale Earnhardt, Princess Diana, John Lennon, and Elvis Presley - more details are coming forward on Irwin's final moments. It is said that the fatal stingray barb tore into Irwin's heart with a force similar to that of a steak knife (check out the Sun's graphic). After Irwin somehow managed to remove the venomous barb, it is said that he quickly lost consciousness and convulsed for two minutes as blood pumped out of his chest. In another development, it is said that Irwin had wanted any fatal attack against him to be filmed, and even told his camera people to keep filming. However Irwin's colleagues, as well as Australian TV outlets, are against ever showing the footage. My opinion is to burn it, we pretty much have an idea what happened... GOLDMAN FAMILY WANTS O.J.'s PUBLICITY EARNINGS: In a headline story which was featured tonight on Nancy Grace, Fred Goldman and his lawyers filed a petition Tuesday asking a judge to grant him control over O.J. Simpson's 'right of publicity.' According to the Grace segment, Simpson has been a 'money making machine, making millions appearing in various autograph shows, as well as a recent 'slasher' convention - which featured fake limbs and machetes hanging from the celing. Simpson has also been producing tacky videos, including one in which he pretends to be a used car salesman selling a white Bronco. It is estimated that O.J.'s autograph asking price has gone up from $60 to $125 since being acquitted, and that much of his money is tied up in off-shore accounts. When asked at an autograph signing if he profits, Juice answered 'I'm not doing this for my health...' They also showed footage of Juice at a party lap-dancing with women saying 'I love my life, isn't life wonderful??? Thank you JESUS!!!!' Attorneys argued on the show whether such an injunction would be effective, suggesting that O.J. would then simply quit doing shows. The case would be the first in it's kind, and comes over 12 years after Nicole Simpson and Ron Goldman were practically beheaded in a brutal double-murder.  DOWN UNDER'S ANSWER TO THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS??? A Sydney rugby club's end-of-season 'Mad Monday' celebrations end in sexual assault allegations. Up to four Wests Tigers players are named in the incident which occurred in an apartment in the Sydney suburb known as Five Dock. Two women are believed to have made complaints against the players, and that a cheerleader may have been involved. One broadcast report said that a date rape drug may have been used in the assault.YOUTH SPORTS DISGRACE... After seeing one of his own players on the receiving end of a late hit, assistant coach runs on the field and does likewise to the offending player, sending the 13-year old to the ground. Coach then bolts off like a real man, jumping a fence while parents from both teams rush the field and start brawling. Coach has been charged with child abuse, don't think he'll be coaching any kids anytime soon. ANOTHER HOCKEY PLAYER IN TROUBLE... Somebody start training camp already. Newly acquired winger Mark Bell should be on top of the world. He had been traded from the lowly Chicago Blackhawks to the San Jose Sharks, and was projected to be on a #1 line with Joe Thornton and Jonathan Cheechoo. But no, Bell rear-ends another vehicle and ends up being booked for DUI. Bell had been named the Blackhawks 'Man of the Year' last year for his charity work and community service. |
