This week’s bitch please awards goes to Tonya Harding.
The former olympic hopeful is a little pissed at Barack Obama for using her name in a joke during a speech. In the clip below you’ll see her pretend shes outraged, and then turn around and thank him for the publicity 15 seconds later. I’m sure Barack will lose sleep at night knowing Ms. Harding earned a $400 appearance fee because he uttered her name.
The topic of Alex Rodriguez managed to make itself into President Obama’s press conference tonight. His comments on the situation were safe and politically correct (surprise surprise).. check it out..
Not even 24hrs after the last video displaying Floyd’s money wasting habits, here’s another one where he acts even more ignorant. I think it’s all part of Mayweather’s master plan to turn the public against him… theres absolutely NO WAY you can watch the following video and *not* want to see him get his ass kicked.
He’s so brash, so cocky, so unpleasant, that I’m a huge fan of his and even *I* want him to shut the hell up. In the end, this will all translate to big bucks when he decides to step back in the ring and fight someone (Miguel Cotto? Margarito?).
I’ll leave you guys with an astute quote from Money May himself:
“Everyone has to support Barack Obama, thats a real brotha. He danced on Soul Train, he got a cold hoop game, he smokes Newport cigarettes, and he listens to rap music.”
ROFL. Please get back in the ring soon Floyd.
Every since Tuesday’s historical election, the U.S.A. has been running wild with over 50 million Obamamaniacs and Gilbert Arenas of the Washington Wizards may be the biggest one. Not only did Gilbert get Obama inspired tattoos, he’s also getting a mural at his home. SportsByBrooks has the goods:
“Arenas has decided to show his permanent support of President-elect Barack Obama with a tattoo. Arenas had the words “Change We Believe In” tattooed onto the fingers of his left hand in cursive writing. Then, Gilbert showed the outside of his pinky finger, which had “44? inked on it.
Arenas has gone all out for Obama, adding that he hired an artist last week to paint a mural with Obama’s family on one side and Arenas’s fiancee and children on another side of a wall in Arenas’s house. “He united people,” Arenas said of Obama. “By him winning, it showed the world that we’re not as racist as people think we are. I think that’s the beauty of [the election]. Not just because he’s the first African American president. America is not as bad as people think we are.””
Now… I’m a Barack Obama fan like most of you out there… but this is just a little “extra extra” in my opinion. Just think if you saw a few rednecks in Kentucky with George Bush tattoos and Dubya painted on the side of their barn… you’d probably say “these right wing jesus freak hicks are fanatical”.
Where is the NAACP when you really need them??? Michael Vick, Pacman Jones, Cedric Benson and every other troubled black NFL player should absolutely be up in arms! Being that this is the week President-Elect Obama made history, we at Sportaphile don’t want to pull out the ole race card.But NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell needs to stop playing games!
How in the hell is Jacksonville Jaguars WR Matt Jones still catching passes although he was charged with cocaine possession back in July?
Let me get this straight: Pacman is out effective immediately for getting into a scuffle with his own bodyguard, but Matt Jones is still starting in games even though he was caught by police inside a parked car allegedly cutting up cocaine with a credit card?
Hate him or love him, but Miami Dolphins Linebacker Joey Porter is actually right on the money this time:
“If I knew the answers, I’d still have 20 more thousand dollars,” said Porter, who was fined $20,000 last month for criticizing referee Ed Hochuli after a loss to Houston. “But I’m still trying to figure out how a guy gets caught with cocaine in his car and still plays the game and nothing happens.
“He got caught with cocaine and Matt Jones is still playing football. How does he get away with that? And then you fine people $20,000 for making comments to the media about the refs. The guy got caught with cocaine.”
Granted, Matt Jones was suspended for three games and is presently under appeal. But, in the meantime, Matt Jones is still actively in the lineup. If this was Pac or any of the other “thug life” players, would the same still be happening? Or would the media be defending them in claiming ‘due process?’ I think not. Matt Jones wants to toot toot, beep beep in parked cars? Then his ass needs to be suspended for violating the player personal conduct rules. Period! But no, he lives to see the next Sunday. And we hate to point out the obvious, but Mr. Jones is Caucasian….
So again, we ask: What is wrong with this picture, Rog???? Cuz we KNOW the brothers wouldn’t get the same pass from you AT ALL.
