By now I’m sure everyone has seen the ‘Superstars’ TV show (that really didn’t contain any superstars) where some model named Joanna Krupa goes ballistic and insults Terrell Owens for making their team lose. Everyone’s having a pretty good laugh at this because there are few things more entertaining than the misfortunes of Mr. Owens…. I get that.
Terrell may be arrogant, but he’s not stupid. He knows if he would have done what most sane people would have done and said “bitch…. who do you think you’re talking to?” followed by an equal dose of what she gave him… it would be World War III in the media. America is a very forgiving country, but I’m not sure a hulking black man can destroy a white girl on TV and escape with his life just yet.
Terrell was raised in the south by his grandmother (who I can only assume was a young woman during the civil rights movement) and I’m sure she told him the story of Emmitt Till every night over dinner like it was Dr. Suess. She had the huge wooden spoon and fork on the walls and everything, that kind of ambiance makes it stick with you forever.
Things like this are why YouTube is the greatest website ever. I don’t know who this Steve Porter guy is, but he got skills… I remember watching his Rap Chop remix a month or so ago.
ESPN re-aired a piece originally shown in April on athletes and the super-televangelists who exploit them on Outside The Lines today …. and I really have no words for what I witnessed.
If you’ve been paying attention to the news over the last couple years, surely you have noticed the various stories about Evander Holyfield having 374 kids and how he owes tons of child support money to pay for them all. You also may have heard about his massive home that was foreclosed on, which contributes to the fact that he’s STILL boxing well past his prime and is risking long-term brain damage (see: Muhammad Ali) because there are bills to pay.
What I *DIDN’T* know is that he’s donated over $20 million dollars to the church over the last 15 years or so. In the video below you’ll see Evander explain his tithing and proudly declare that if he had to choose between paying a house note, and donating to the church…..the house would have to wait:
I realize he’s a religious man and he says the bible requires 10% of his earnings…. but there are various monumental mistakes in judgment going on here. First of all, if you want to give that much cash…. fine… but scale back your living arrangements accordingly. There’s no need to buy a mansion with 100 rooms in it if you plan on giving the church so much of your extra money. Secondly, when you listen to Evander talk, it seems like he’s giving so much money because he thinks god is going to give it back to him for being so generous as opposed to giving it and expecting nothing in return. There’s a little bit of flawed logic there in my opinion.
Last night was the premiere of Joe Buck Live, which is the replacement for Bob Costas Now on HBO. Brett Favre, Chad Johnson, and Michael Irvin were pretty entertaining as guests, but the last segment featuring Artie Lange of the Howard Stern show ended up being the kicker.
I won’t get into how it started, but all you need to know is Artie and Buck spent the end of the show taking little comedic potshots at each other. Artie (understandably) got the best of Joe Buck and the show ended. What you’ll see below is the “overtime” segment which only airs on the internet after the actual TV broadcast is done.
This is what happens when a TV personality who thinks he’s funny goes against a real comic and gets his ass handed to him. Buck’s quick one-liners during an MLB game are really no match comedy professional…..especially a fat one who has probably had to do “come backs” on people his entire life.
Now that I think of it…. why in the hell was Artie Lange a guest on this show in the first place?
This is the kind of shit you only see on Fox blooper shows.
SportsCenter anchorwoman Chris MeKendry thought it was so funny former NBA player Corey Blount was going to jail, she could hardly contain her laughter while reading the teleprompter.
