Kate Beckinsale thinks the NFL is gay

I love Kate Beckinsale. Love her. No one looks better in black leather vampire gear. Now why did she have to ruin it by talking?

It’s like rugby except they wear armour and scream a lot. It’s completely poofy. (They do) the gayest dances when they score.

Then she called baseball (apple pie!) a game for little girls. I’m tempted to give her husband shit for despising American Footbal but any man who can convince Kate to do bad things on camera is all right by me.

Man crashes Canadiens practice… he shoots…

A 28-year-old man named “Raphael” jumped on the ice at a Canadiens practice and took a couple of shots at Jose Theodore before he was chased down by the coach and kicked out of the arena. He stated that he always wanted to play high caliber hockey and he wanted to “show the Canadiens what he could do on the ice.”


I didn’t really know what was going on until the guy came on,” a grinning Theodore said later. “He came at me with his head down so…I poke-checked him to say `You have to keep your head up.’ When he came back, I though about going out of the net and not playing into his game, but then I thought he had the (courage) to go on the ice, so I let him have a free shot at me. “He couldn’t beat me. That’s the main thing.

Defenseman Craig Rivet stood guard but the man left peacefully. The police came and decided not to arrest him because it wasn’t a police matter. No bone rattling checks from a defender? No arrest? Oh those crazy Canadiens!

Marcus Vick arrested on weapons charge


Class act

Perhaps after announcing he’s going Pro, Don Mexico is trying to court the Smith & Wesson endorsement deal.  Vick turned himself in after a warrant was issued for his arrest. He pointed a gun at three men outside of a McDonalds on Sunday night.

No no no, Marcus, you don’t start waving firearms at people in a town where you’re most likely to be recognized until after you’ve become a big bust in the NFL.

The $17k loogie

Sean Taylor, Washington Redskins safety, was fined $17,000 by the league for spitting in the face of Bucs RB Michael Pittman. This isn’t the first time Taylor has gone Bill Cowher on someone. In 2004, he was accused of spitting at T.J. Houshmandzadeh but the NFL investigated and no video evidence was found. Taylor claims he did not spit on Pittman. Perhaps it was Roger McDowell from behind the bushes?

NOW wants Paterno to resign

I don’t mean to be insensitive to the plight of NOW but can’t you just let the man enjoy his Orange Bowl victory?


Joanne Tosti-Vasey, president of the National Organization for Women in Pennsylvania, said Sunday that she was “appalled” by Paterno’s comments last week and that they represent an institutional insensitivity that endangers women.

So what exactly did JoePa say? On the sexual assault allegations against A.J. Nicholson:

I think it’s so tough, there are so many people gravitating to these kids. He may not have even known what he was getting into. Somebody may have knocked on the door, a cute little girl knocks on the door. What do you do? Geez … thank God they don’t knock on my door. I’d refer them to a couple other rooms. But you hate to see that. It’s just too bad, that’s all I can say.

Listen, Honey (NOW people hate when you call them honey), if back to back 3 and 4 win seasons didn’t get Paterno to leave, you certainly won’t.

This is why jocks beat up math geeks

Based on statistical analysis of over a million games, a bunch of geeks at the Los Alamos labs decided that Futbol was the most exciting of the 5 major sports and that Football was the least. Their conclusion is based on the assumption that upsets are more exciting than when the favorites win. Someone tell the folks at Penn State and FSU that the Orange Bowl wasn’t very exciting.

Jim Mora Jr fined $25,000 for cell phone use

It looks like Joe Horn got his way. Jim Mora Jr was fined for using a cell phone to figure out playoff possibilities during the Tampa Bay Bucs game. It seems to me that if he’d done his homework before the game, he wouldn’t look like such a moron and he wouldn’t be 25 grand lighter in the wallet.
