Chicago, and even a reason to care about Cleveland v. Oakland Get that, along with my other college and Week 4 NFL picks in DENGENERATE CENTRAL.  GEORGE WEBB'S BRAWL!!! Lot of good stories in my local paper this morning. Some bridal shop closed up and declared bankruptcy, you can just imagine the crisis with that one - an ordinance is being considered that will put surviellence cameras in every bar in town (I was assuming that happened years ago!!), and then this - a fight breaks out at George Webbs at 3:40 AM, NO WAY!!! They say a lesbian couple were discussing a same-sex marriage law that was being considered in the state legislature when the guy in the suit you see here butted in and slurred the two. Another man came to the ladies' defense, and next thing you know dude is throwing chairs around the place - like that's never happened at a Webb's restaurant before, anytime after 8 PM people get obnoxious there. Anyways prosecutors are discussing whether to include the 'hate crime enhancer' to go along with the assault. Meanwhile guy is still at large, if you see him call the Wauwautosa police - don't know if there's a reward though.REPEAT OFFENDER: This isn't good, I'm in a fantasy league that rewards players who get return yards, so I was looking at this man - Ravens KR B.J. Sams has been busted for DUI for the second time in 14 months after being pulled over at two in the morning (when else would you expect it???). The last time Sams did 89 in a 55 near a shopping center, and actually during the day if I recall. Sams is averaing 31 yards per kickoff return, but the incident could mean a suspension as a repeat violator. But then again the league hasn't even gotten around to dealing with Chris Henry or Koren Robinson yet, so B.J. should be available for the Ravens big game in Denver Monday night.  WHAT WOULD YOU EXPECT FROM FOX NEWS??? On-screen graphic identifies shamed congressman as a democrat. No FOX, Foley is one of your guys.FUN HAZING STORY... University of Florida officials shut down a 100-member fraternity after three female students were allegedly drugged during an unauthorized event last weekend. Police reported that two 18-year-old students and a 17-year-old high school student had gone to area hospitals after receiving drinks at the frat house. The three women told police they lost track of time or consciousness for several hours. Friends described the three as behaving as if they were 'excessively inebriated' although they said they had not drunk that much. The 17 year-old supposedly asked for a soda and was given a more adult beverage instead (you don't ask for pop at frat parties). Alcohol was not supposed to be an option period since the university had declared the property a 'dry house' following it's last suspension for alcohol/hazing violations.  JOHN L. SMITH ON HOT SEAT... The Notre Dame meltdown was only the start, as Michigan State follows up by losing to LOWLY ILLINOIS AT HOME. That contest was punctuated by a nice little scuffle between the players at the end. Now many say Michigan St. has to knock off Michigan for JLS to 'save his job'. Meanwhile Lou Holtz didn't exactly throw JLS a liferaft on TV, saying the seat couldn't be any hotter if he was in a electric chair.PARTYGAMING CANCELS INTEREST DIVIDEND: 21st Century prohibition is officially here. PartyGaming Plc said on Tuesday it was cancelling its interim dividend following its decision to suspend all gaming business with U.S. players, instead focusing on increasing business in non-U.S. markets. This comes as the House of Representatives and Senate unexpectedly (as reported over the weekend on KACSPORTS) added a provision that would make it illegal for banks and credit-card companies to make payments to online gambling sites to a bill regarding port security. The bill snuck through just before Congress recessed for the November elections, and now only needs George Bush's signature to become a reality. As of Tuesday morning, all seemed normal on Party Poker and other sites this morning with the usual amount of traffic - and U.S. players were able to play. However, Party Poker is already on record saying the business will be suspended once Bush signs, with other sites certain to follow suit. The ramifications are already being discussed, including a dramatic decrease in the number of participants for the World Series of Poker, gaming sites removing their advertising from ESPN coverage, the loss of endorsement money for poker pros who are sponsored by the sites, and even players who make a living playing on-line considering moving out of the U.S.. This Baltimore Sun article explains plenty well what could come next. Yes I will be blogging on this... HAYNESWORTH SUSPENDED FIVE GAMES... Well, Peter King said they were going to fine the crap out of him, but not hand out a suspension - and that the league wouldn't announce any penalties until later in the week. And myself I was wondering what it was going to take for someone to get suspended for on-field conduct. Well, new commish Roger Goodell has put down his own stomp, suspending Albert Haynesworth five games for putting his cleats on the helmetless forehead of Dallas center Andre Gurode following Julius Jones' five yard touchdown run. Titans coach Jeff Fisher, who hinted at suspendeing Haynesworth himself if the league didn't do so, says he finds the punishment acceptable. RAY RHODES IN ANOTHER MEDICAL DRAMA: The Seattle Seahawks plane made an unscheduled stop in South Dakota Sunday night to get medical care for assistant coach Ray Rhodes, who went through two stroke-like episodes last season. A former defensive coordinator and head coach, Rhodes returned to the team in a limited capacity last year and was reassigned this season with his new title being 'special projects, defense'. Rhodes was checked out and was able to fly back to Seattle Monday morning. BODY OF COLLEGE BASKETBALL PLAYER FOUND IN RIVER... The body of Division 3 basketball star Luke Homan was recovered this morning from the Mississippi River near a park in La Crosse, WI. Homan, 21, disappeared Saturday morning. He was last seen at 2:15 AM at the Vibe, a downtown La Crosse club. Homan is the eighth person since 1997 found dead in the Mississippi River in the La Crosse area. A 6'3" shooting guard, Homan was a member of UW-Milwaukee's Sweet-16 squad, before transferring to UW-LaCrosse, where he helped his team to a 20-win season this past year. As a prep, Homan helped his team win two conference titles as well as two state tournament appearances. Homan holds the school record for three-pointers with 165 and broke a 44-year-old school record when he made 16 free throws in one game. A finance major, Homan was already talking about graduate school and his coach said that he could have a future in coaching, he had worked youth basketball camps during the summer. Homan's dad also played college basketball, he was a member of the 1974 Marquette team which went to the National Championship game. OFFICER SHOT AT KANSAS SPEEDWAY... An off-duty police officer is in critical condition Sunday night after being shot several times by would-be robbers at Kansas Speedway. The female officer, a 25-year veteran of the force, was working security during Sunday's NASCAR race. Police said the officer was shot just after 8 p.m. during a robbery attempt at the track's ticket office vault. The officer, whose identity was not released, was airlifted to a nearby hospital with life-threatening wounds. Two suspects were taken into custody near the scene soon after - police are also looking for a possible third suspect.  'SPORTS MACHINE' GETS FRESH NEW FACE... Now in it's 23rd season, it is the longest running sports show in syndication, and for those still living in the stone age without cable (yes, they're out there) it's often the only TV source for in-depth sports highlights. Now George Michael has his first official 'co-host'. Her name is Lindsay Czarniak, a DC reporter who has also appeared on NBC's NASCAR and Olympic coverage. Andrea Brody has guest-hosted and appeared on Sports Machine the last two years, but was never annointed as a co-host, she remains a contributor on the program. By the way, Michael plays the coolest sounds effects when showing NASCAR crashes, but the constant blurred images while trying to cover all the logos/screen pushes on other highlights are a bit of a bummer - not exactly an HD production. On the plus side the human interest stories Michael traditionally throws in at the end of the program are must-see material.BORDERLINE ASSAULT... Look for this story to get plenty of attention in the coming days, Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was ejected Sunday after he kicked Cowboys lineman Andre Gurode in the face twice, the second time with his helmet off. That second kick caught Gurode near his eye and it was said that he needed 30 stitches afterwards. During NBC's Sunday Night telecast, 'insider' Peter King suggested that the league will fine Haynesworth $25,000, but will not suspend him. Cris Collinsworth meanwhile chimed in that Albert should have been cuffed and taken off the field. Titans coach Jeff Fischer is on record as saying that if the league doesn't punish Haynesworth enough, he will. And I don't think it's a stretch that you might see some lawsuit action by Gurode somewhere down the road.  ARCA DRIVER DOESN'T SOUND TOO APOLOGETIC... Check out the incredible video on top of ARCA driver Michael Simko jumping through the windshield of Don St. Denis' car during the running of the Glass City 200, when you see DSD finally get out of his car to confront Simko, you'll also notice that DSD is not exactly small. Amazingly, Simko didn't sound too sorry about what he did, noting that this wasn't the first time DSD had put him into the wall. I've got a news flash for Simko, he's going to be sitting for a while - I think this goes beyond the normal (at least in NASCAR) 'probation' for the rest of the season.TIGER WINS SIXTH IN A ROW... Oh, that's right - he lost some match play event on the European Tour a few weeks back, he probably even has lost in Putt-Putt in the last month. But as far as the PGA Tour is concerned, TW is now more than half-way to match Byron Nelson's 'unbreakable' record. Lets see, Tour Championship would be #7, San Diego #8, LA #9, Doral #10, Orlando #11, which means #12 would potentially be the Masters - remember the Players Championship has been moved from March until May. INTERNET GAMING BAN ADD-ON TO PORT SECURITY BILL??? For those of you who weren't too concerned about the recent anti-internet gaming bill that passed the house not getting through the senate anytime soon - you might want to reconsider. Congress was pushing on Friday to finish legislation that would boost security at U.S. ports, but at the last minute lawmakers added on provisions to the bill to prohibit Internet gambling. Rushing to finish work by the weekend to go home and campaign for critical elections in which control of Congress is at stake, lawmakers were linking up unrelated measures in an effort to get them approved. You could see someone's argument now - money going into off-shore gaming could conceivably end up getting funneled into Al-Qaida, etc. - The real story is that they are more concerned about decreased revenues in the horse racing and state lottery (OK in 48 states) business. ANOTHER SPORTSBOOK CLOSES IT'S DOORS TO U.S.: The stakes over the future of online gambling were raised even higher when Sportingbet stopped taking bets from American accounts, joining a growing list of betting companies to abandon the U.S. market. Its decision came as a lawyer for former chairman Peter Dicks said he believed there were arrest warrants for 'anybody who sits on the board' at the company. According to industry rumors, Louisiana has 58 warrants ready to be issued to internet gambling executives. Dicks became the second UK internet gaming executive to be arrested when he was held in New York three weeks ago under a warrant issued by Louisiana charging him with 'gambling by computer. However Governor Pataki refused to expedite Dicks to Louisiana, and since he's been set free.NAMES SURFACE IN GRIMSLEY CASE: L.A. Times reports that Roger Clemens (his name has come up before) and teammate (and good friend) Andy Pettitte were named in Jason Grimsley's affidavit as PED users, along with Baltimore Orioles Miguel Tejada (whose power mysteriously declined last year), Brian Roberts (people joked about him being on something after hitting 5-6 home runs in the first couple weeks of 2005), David Segui (who has admitted using HGH under a prescription) and Jay Gibbons. The agent for Clemens and Pettitte denied the accusations. Tejada says he pays no attention to Grimsley while Gibbons says he didn't want to degnify the story by giving a response. Throw in Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmeiro and one gets the idea that Baltimore has become one of the epicenters of the PED story - too bad it hasn't helped them in the standings. INJURY OF THE DAY, SOCCER STAR SUFFERS 'HORROR LEG FRACTURE': Schalke 04 international striker Gerald Asamoah will miss most of the season after suffering an horrific double leg fracture during his side's 3-1 UEFA Cup defeat. The 27-year-old World Cup player was the victim of a rough challenge in the 65th minute. Schalke captain Marcelo Bordon said 'I've never seen anything like it' and added that he couldn't believe the opposing player wasn't red-carded.  NOTRE DAME SEASON TICKETS FOR SALE!!! You may have to donate your spleen to Chris Simms to be able to afford them but here you go - For the first time in more than 30 years, Notre Dame will make 5,000 season tickets available to football games starting next season, charging a fee to help pay for more than $40 million in repairs to Notre Dame Stadium. The season ticket cost is $413, doesn't sound bad - until the part where the university charges an 'annual fee' ranging from $1,250 (end zone seats) to $2,000 (sideline seats). The general public most likely will not get a crack at the ducets, as alumni, donors and others affiliated with the university get first crack. The revenue generated through the ticket plan will help pay for extensive work needed in the concrete seating bowl because of freeze-thaw damage thanks to those South Bend winters. Notre Dame decided on the annual seating licenses instead of building skyboxes or selling advertising alongside Touchdown Jesus.LONGEST HALFTIME EVER FOR SOUTH CAROLINA'S OFFENSE: #2 Auburn's offense in the third quarter went something like this: long drive, field goal, onside kick, another time-consuming drive, and a touchdown at the beginning of the FOURTH QUARTER - that's right South Carolina's did not get one offensive snap in for the entire quarter. And by the time they finally did get the ball it started raining, and Spurrier doesn't like his boys having to throw it around when it's wet. T.O. + O.D. = E.R., DAY 2: A longtime personal trainer suggests that it was a 'perfect storm' of events that led to Terrell Owens landing in the emergency room Tuesday night. Already depressed that he couldn't fly to California to see his son on his seventh birthday, Owens gets on the phone with his finacee who tells him 'It's Over'. Throw in the usual Bill Parcells breathing down your ass and you have one bad day at the office. The trainer then said that Owens crashed from the pain medication, then most likely woke up 'wired'. The trainer adds that Owens had been taking about 30 supplements a day, up from his normal six. There's more, the trainer also says that he had been using a '$40,000 laser device' on Owens' hand to further quicken the healing process The trainer adds that the machine designed to remove scar tissue makes one sleepy and 'knocks you out'. The trainer considers himself a father-figure to Owens and adds that Owens 'doesn't have many friends' and suggests that the public and news media have long misperceived a man he considers 'a gentle soul' and a "caring, highly sensitive' person with a fragile psyche. The trainer underscores the point that the events of Tuesday night were in fact not a suicide attempt/cry for help. POLICE GROUP NOT HAPPY WITH PUBLICIST'S STATEMENT: First off, where can I get a job as a 'publicist' for a celebrity??? Most people would settle for a few thousand reasons to live. Anyways, the president of the Dallas Police Association demanded Thursday that Terrell Owens and his publicist apologize for statements disputing portions of a police report related to You Know Who's trip to the emergency room. Kim Etheredge, who also made the 9-1-1 call, said that entries in the police report were inaccurate. She said she did not say he was depressed and 'did not take anything out of his mouth' as was said in the report. Etheredge cound not be reached for comment because her phone mailbox was full, and she didn't 'immediately' respond to an e-mail seeking comment. Why?? She's a publicist, she's supposed to answer questions from the media - Owens might be firing her any day.TIGER WASTING NO TIME... His worldwide winning streak stopped with a 'non-conference loss' in some match play event a couple weeks back. But Tiger Woods is back to laying waste shooting an opening round 63 at a WGC event in England. A win would put Woods' PGA Tour winning streak at six, just five behind the 'unbreakable' record of Byron Nelson. |
