Tuesday, September 01, 2009Erin Andrews "Peep Video" Update: ESPN Reporter Does "First and Last Interview" on the Subject With Oprah Erin Andrews goes on the Oprah show and reportedly tells the talk queen that it was a "nightmare" to see a tape of herself nude in a hotel room posted on the Internet. Really? Wonder if the Big O shows any clips from the video . . . maybe she just shared them with Gayle in private? (NY Post)
EARLIER: Erin Andrews Hotel Room Peep Hole Video Update: Why Haven't We Heard Anything More About This Case? - Sportswriter David Whitley takes a hard look at the evidence in the case of ESPN reporter Erin Andrews and wonders why there hasn't been more progress in the case of her being secretly videotaped in her hotel room naked? His take: someone at ESPN knows more than they are letting on (like say a camera person who would know what room Andrews was staying in AND have the gear to pull this off), so the network is desperately trying to keep the lid on this powder keg. Either that, or they've hired the same private detectives O.J. used to find the "real killers." Read the full column here.

She worked weekends on a Florida fishing boat that featured young women in bathing suits as deck hands. Apparently she couldn't get another teaching job after her original school found out about her part time job.

HS Football Star Leaves School Early to Start Football Career at College, Gets Arrested Twice in Five Months, Gets Kicked Off Team Is this a story for our times? Imagine spending your whole young life working to be a quarterback at a major college football program, to the point that you would leave midway through your senior year to get a head start on spring practice. What happens when you get to college? Apparently for Blaine Dalton, who played less than a year ago for Blue Springs (Mo.) High School, the same thing that happens to a lot of young people at college: they start drinking and getting in trouble. Last week, Dalton was arrested for the second time since he arrived on campus last winter (this time for DUI) and was promptly sent home.

¶ 6:23 PM 0 Comments Links to this postMonday, August 31, 2009UK Rugby Player Uses Fake Blood During Match "Fake" Bloody Rugby Players Finally Explained - Like many of you, I was confused as to why an English rugby player would resort to using a novelty store blood capsule to get himself sent off the field during a critical match (see story below). Why not just fake a knee injury? Fortunately for us, one of our readers (all the way from New Zealand!) provides the answer;In Rugby - well, certainly since AIDS arrived - if you have obvious signs of bleeding you get 'blood-binned' (sent to the sidelines to get patched up whilst a substitute player takes over for you). If you can make it back onto the field within a 10 minute period you can come back on and the thing doesn't count as one of the six substitutes your team is allowed.
This UK team had a problem, though. With time almost up, and with their real kicker already genuinely substituted, they got given a match-winning kicking chance. The only way to get their kicker back onto the field was if he was subbing for a bleeding player. Falling over, soccer-style, wouldn't have cut the mustard!

Wellington, New ZealandEARLIER: UK Rugby Player Admits to Using Novelty Shop Blood Capsule to Fake Injury During Game - When you take a close look at the picture, you're surprised anyone was fooled by this scam. Looks like he ate a Wendy's cheeseburger and the ketchup spilled onto his face. Hmmm, cheeseburgers. Anyway, here's my favorite quote from the story:
Willliams admits that when he was handed the fake blood capsule on the pitch by Brennan he put it in his sock and then pulled it out after a contact situation and tried to bite on it. The capsule fell out of his mouth, forcing him to pick it up and and try the whole process again in full view of the sold-out stadium and television cameras.
What we don't understand is: what was the point of the blood capsule to begin with? If you wanted to be pulled out of the match, why not just fall down at the slightest contact (like European soccer players do) and grab your knee? (This is London)Labels: rugby

What is that smell coming from Ann Arbor, Michigan? Last year I would have said it was just the stench of their first losing record in something like 100 years (okay, maybe less.) But this year it is could be the smell of an oncoming NCAA investigation: the first for a major rules infraction for in school history (for football, that is.) We're sure it's just a coincidence that it happens to coincide with the arrival of new football coach Rich Rodriguez. And if you thought morale was bad on last year's team, wait until they find out which one of their teammates was talking to the press. (Detroit Free Press)Labels: Michigan football

¶ 8:19 PM 0 Comments Links to this postHoly Short Skirts Batman! UConn Boots Cheerleaders, Replaces Them With Robot "Spirit Squad"Okay, maybe they're not really cyborgs made to look like humans, but the new "spirit squad" created by the University of Connecticut sounds like their one and only job is to do the evil bidding of the administration. Their ONLY job. No stunts, no tumbling, no 30 foot human pyramids. None of that crap. Just get the fans in the stands and make them happy, got it? According to Assistant Vice President for Student Affairs and Director of Student Activities (that's some bureaucratic job title, eh?) Christine "The Terminator" Wilson, the change was made because "We want people formerly called cheerleaders to focus in on building spirit at UConn, on spending time working on ways to engage fans and to really spread Husky spirit" rather than spend hours perfecting stunts. Oh, snap!
Sounds to us like someone in the Husky administration asked the boys and girls on the cheer squad to interact more with the fans (you remember, the ones who pay the bills for high priced college sports?) and were probably told that they didn't have the time because they were working on their routine for the National Cheer Offs (or whatever they're called). Not a good move gang. Said one teary former Husky cheerleader turned regular student, "They told us so late, I can't even buy like football season tickets now." Maybe they'll let you try out for the Spirit Squad next year?

¶ 8:16 PM 0 Comments Links to this postMonday, August 24, 2009That's a Man, Baby! African Runner Forced to Take Gender TestWe're shocked, SHOCKED, I tell you, that other competitors in World Athletics Championship would think that South African Caster "Don't Look for a Bulge" Semenya, 18, (pictured right) was not a woman after all, but a man! According to reports, the teen sensation has sparked controversy over her "strikingly muscular physique" and and after she burst onto the international track scene this year and immediately started setting world records in the 800 meters. Just this week she took the gold medal in the event at the WAC in Berlin and immediately other runners (and fans sitting more than a mile away) demanded a gender test. According to the UK's Daily Mail, "A group of doctors, including an endocrinologist, a gynaecologist, an internal medicine expert, an expert on gender and a psychologist, have started the procedure but it is uncertain when the results will be known." Meanwhile, South African track officials have denied the allegations and are 100% confident that Semenay is female. We're still surprised that someone would make that kind of allegation, aren't you? Looks like she's just been working our harder than the other gals who really need to look at themselves and not point fingers at a young lady who just works harder than they do . . . especially on those abs. Although this story does remind us of another African running phenom named Samukeliso Sithole who, unfortunately for her, ran into trouble with the local witch doctor and had a penis slapped on her. No, really, that's what she told a judge!
Watch the video below of Caster Semenya kicking everyone's ass at the 800 meters this week.
