Get my Rivalry Week college and Week 11 NFL picks in DENGENERATE CENTRAL.  BIG GAME SHOCKER, BO DEAD  PS3 KARMA, IT'S REAL!!! You knew the stories on this were going to be good, we just didn't know how good. People camped outside of Best Buy since seemingly Halloween for the chance to pay $600 for something, and perhaps re-sell it on E-Bay for $3,300. And if you ended up being one of the extremely lucky ones to actually score a Playstation 3, there is also the very real possibility of being jumped on in the parking lot before you even get to your car. Then there's this incident that occurred yesterday morning at a Wally-World. Manager sets up ten chairs, and says the first ones to race to them can buy a PS3, and if you happened to be wheelchair-bound I guess you were S.O.L. A 19-year old ends up with getting bumped and shoved SMACK INTO A POLE (SEE VIDEO) and dislocating his jaw. Says one eyewitness, 'It was terrible and really, really stupid. Anyone with any common sense would know things would get violent.' You could also see someone else hitting the ground at the starting line. The man accused of pushing the 19-year old into the pole actually wound up with one of the ten spots, he has already retained a lawyer to defend himself - guess PS3 wound up costing a lot more than $600 to him. Memo to Wally-World manager, next time have them draw numbers out of a hat. AND MORE PS3 VIOLENCE: You knew this wouldn't be the worst story. Two armed thugs confront 15 to 20 people in line outside a Wally-World at 3 AM, demanding money. One resisted and was shot, no word on his condition. In yet another incident, police were investigating a drive-by that saw four people hit with BB pellets outside if a Best Buy, including a TV reporter who was doing interviews. EXCEDRIN HEADACHE #73, NASCAR DROPS ICONIC LONG-TIME SPONSOR: Goody's Headache Powders, a staple in NASCAR for 30 years, will be replaced by Tylenol next season as the sport's official pain reliever. The move is yet another break NASCAR is making from its longtime, but regional, partners. Goody's was formulated in Winston-Salem, N.C., by pharmacist Martin 'Goody' Goodman in 1932. The formula was sold in 1936 to A. Thad Lewallen Sr., who marketed the powders by passing them out to factory workers during shift changes. It created a dedicated following in the South and was touted for its speed of relief. That led the company to partner with NASCAR in 1977, becoming one of the first non-automotive sponsors in the sport, with seven-time series champion Richard Petty as the official spokesman. Tylenol cracked into the sport last season by signaling out individual drivers, in a 'Team Tylenol' campaign featuring Dale Earnhardt Jr., Jeff Gordon, Kevin Harvick, Jimmie Johnson and Elliott Sadler. The campaign has lead NASCAR to make the switch, figuring that Tylenol has a more national presence.NHL GETS DEAL WITH YOUTUBE: Video sharing site YouTube has struck a deal with the National Hockey League to distribute video content on its site, and share the ensuing ad revenue with the league. The NHL will provide daily short-form video content to YouTube for the 2006-2007 season beginning this month. Clips will include video highlights of NHL regular season games, available within 24 hours of the original broadcast, and other on- and off-ice footage. Using YouTube's 'Claim Your Content' program, the league will have the option of removing unauthorized content uploaded to the site, or claiming that content as its own and sharing in ad revenue. That program was announced in September and is expected to be live by the end of the year, and allows professional content creators, including record labels, TV networks and movie studios, to automatically identify copyrighted content in any video on YouTube's site and decide if they want to remove that clip, or authorize it and share in the ad revenues generated by the clip.  RAMS LINEMAN'S RIG HAS 23 TV's!?!? Page 8 of Sports Weekly this week has one of the better tales of I have heard in quite sometime. You may have heard of professional athletes and the tripped out rigs they drive - but Richie Incognito's BMW 750 may have them all trumped - his rig doesn't have one TV monitor, or two, three or even eight - BUT 23!!! And that includes one monitor on the door of his gas cap. Richie now calls going overboard outfitting his vehicle a 'rookie mistake', but says at the touch of a button he's able to watch satellite, a DVD, and play X-Box all at the same time. The story also tells of a recent incident in which Richie tried to place a cell phone call to get his oil changed - after saying his name was Richie Incognito, the receptionist told him that he needed his full name to set up the appointment. Guess the receptionist hasn't been keeping tabs with the Cornhusker anger-management blotter the past few years. If he's having that much trouble setting up an oil change what happens when just one of the 23 TV's goes on the blink. I'm surprised Richie didn't go straight to the dealership himself to bust the guy's chops. Glad to see the man has toned it down since leaving Nebraska, I'd like to see this guy and Ross Verba do a weekend in Vegas, that could be the Norm Clarke column to end all Norm Clarke columns.      BASEBALL SCOUT, CARD PLAYER AMONG THOSE BUSTED IN $1B PER YEAR INTERNET GAMBLING RING U.S. authorities say they cracked a $3.3 billion Internet gambling ring with the arrest of 27 people including a Major League Baseball scout and a professional poker player. They say the illegal operation based in Queens was alleged to have taken in $2.5 million a day over the last 28 months through the Web site Playwithal.com, rivaling the daily amount transacted at casinos. The Web site functioned as a computerized betting sheet and was operated by high-stakes poker player James Giordano, who was charged with being the scheme's bookmaker. Bets through the site and through a toll-free 800 number were taken on horse racing, football, baseball, basketball, hockey, golf, stock car racing and tennis. Giordano won $100,000 in a poker tournament earler this year. Frank Falzarano, 52, was charged as a 'runner' in the scheme and identified by authorities as a scout for the Washington Nationals. Charges also were brought against three companies that allegedly helped Giordano develop and secure the Web site. Falzaran was ordered held on $500,000 bail and through his lawyer says that he 'looks forward to defending himself in court.' It is said to be the first major sting since President Bush signed the bill banning Internet Gaming Bill last month. Seized in the bust were four Manhattan condominiums, millions in cash, tens of thousands of dollars in casino chips from a Las Vegas casino, rare art, jewelry, gold coins, and a football signed by the New York Jets Super Bowl III Championship team. NO HABLA ESPANOL IN KINGDOM OF NYE: Interesting news story out today. The Mojave Desert town of Pahrump, NV has passed a controversial ordinance which makes English the 'official' language. All town documents will be in English, no Spanish versions will be available. The plan also denies town benefits to undocumented workers, and will also make it illegal to fly another country's flag unless it is flown under the U.S. flag and the U.S. flag is at LEAST as big. Pahrump is considered an 'ex-burb', a rural fast-growing town 60 miles west of Las Vegas whose population has boomed to over 40,000. The now-sprawling community is also home to the closest legal brothels to Vegas - from what I hear the town is known for many people having strong libertarian beliefs. Needless to say, the local ACLU is not nuts about all of this, says a spokesperson, 'People are nuts out there. Totally nuts' JUICE: IF I DID IT!?!? Anyone remember the epic Saturday Night Live skit where Simpson 'reprises' his role as an NBC football analyst, and diagrams a play and ends up spelling out the words 'I DID IT'??? Well now FOX plans to broadcast an interview with O.J. Simpson in which the Juice 'hypothetically' discusses 'how he would have committed' the slayings of Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman. The interview is scheduled just before O.J's latest book 'If I Did it' hits bookshelves on November 30th. In a video clip on FOX's Web site, an interviewer says to Simpson, 'You wrote 'I have never seen so much blood in my life.', adding 'I don't think any two people could be murdered without everybody being covered in blood.' Says his publisher, 'This is an historic case, and I consider this his confession' In another recent development the Goldman's lost a civil court case in which Simpson would had been forced to give up his earnings from autographs signings as well as revenues from the 'judgeoj.com' site. If you haven't figured out what happened in 1994 by now, you're probably too dumb to operate a VCR. CHARGES MULLED AGAINST PEE-WEE COACH: Authorities in Texas considering charges against coach caught on videotape attacking a referee after being told to stop cursing on the sidelines in front of his five and six-year old players. Amateur video of the incident shows the coach charging onto the field and tackling the 18-year-old referee, briefly knocking him uncounscious.  COMPLETE SHOCKER, BOBBY KNIGHT 'STRIKES' PLAYER: I don't know how many times I have to say that Bobby Knight and Bobby 'The Weas', I meant Bobby 'The Brain' Heenan are the same person. In any event, the way the Worldwide Sports Leader was reporting on Knight's latest incident, you would think that he whacked someone uncounscious with a lead pipe. In case you haven't heard, Knight's latest crapstorm involves giving a player a little love-slap during a timeout during Texas Tech's home win over East Cupcake. When contacted by KACSPORTS today, Knight had the following to say 'I'm sick of all you humanoids in the media and on the internet blowing everything out of proportion. All I know is that I am eight wins away from becoming College Basketball's all-time win leader, and I'm also the eight-time AWA Manager of the Year, and that my man Nick Bockwinkle was a five-time World Champion' Best part of the story is the player, or his parents - are not upset about the incident. I think any recruit who signs up with Knight knows they'll get pushed around on occasion - we've only been dealing with this story for about 30 years or so.QUALIFIER!!! Jacksonville left tackle Khalif Barnes was arrested and charged with driving under the influence the night before the Jaguars home game v. Houston. Barnes was declared inactive for the game after being clocked at 101 MPH, report said he told the cops he had 'one drink', that may have been the Double Gulp size - they say he blew a .12 and his program weight is 325. If Khalif were a mere 240 that means he would be fresh off an eight-drink bender - or a Double Gulp of something a little stronger. The incident marks the third arrest involving a Jaguars players this year while the team fell behind early, risking yet another loss to the lowly Texans. Think coach JDR needs to 'change the culture' a bit down there??? PACK'S CUT-BLOCKING TECHNIQUES CALLED: Vikings nose tackle Pat Williams and defensive tackle Kevin Williams called the Packers offensive line 'cowards', Green Bay's new coaching staff installed the controversial cut-blocking technique which has been used to great success in Denver and Atlanta. Says Pat Wiliams, 'They're just cowards. Put that in the paper. They're just plain cowards'. OK, I just did.  IRONY - MARSHALL TEAM PLANE EVACUATED: How's this for coincidence. A charter plane carrying the Thundering Herd football team to it's game at East Carolina was evacuated after smoke was reported in an engine - the plane, with 150 onboard, wound up taking off after a two-hour delay. The incident comes four days short of the anniversity of the plane crash that took down the 1970 Marshall squad, along with the coaching staff and some administration - that was returning from a game at ECU. The 'We Are Marshall' movie about the rebuilding of that program is scheduled for release on December 22nd. After reboarding the plane Friday, Marshall's SID said, 'I don't think it's as big a deal as some people are trying to make' but a county sheriff admitted that the timing was sure ironic. MARSHALL/ECU PROGRAMS FOREVER LINKED: Marshall lost at East Carolina on 11/14/70 17-14, the soon-to-be ghost team had put themselves in position for a game-tying field goal but a disputed intentional grounding call on third down put the Herd out of range. After the final gun ECU coach Mike McGee shook hands with Marshall's Rick Tolley, and asked if his team wanted to stay over that night - Tolley's response was 'We need to get back tonight'. Later that night a mortified East Carolina community struggled to grasp with the idea that the players of the team they had just competed against were dead. This weekend, officials from both schools will dedicate a plaque which will hang outside the visitors'locker room at ECU's stadium that will memorialize the crash victims and the revival of Marshall's program, as well as the subsequent healing that occurred on both campuses. Saturday marks just Marshall's second trip back to ECU since the crash. The two schools also participated in a memorable bowl game in 2001, with Marshall rallying from a 38-8 halftime deficit to win 64-61 in two overtimes. That game featured future Jacksonville Jaguar quarterbacks Byron Leftwich and David Garrard.COWBOYS QB DATING JESSICA SIMPSON??? This sure didn't take long, newly minted Cowboys starter Tony Romo (a.k.a 'the new Brett Favre') is being reported as seeing pop star/actress Jessica Simpson. You'd think he'd get a couple more starts out of the way first before getting into the high-rent district. Perhaps he and Matt Leinart can exchange some notes this weekend. Incidentally, Romo is San Diego born but grew up in Wisconsin - what were his parents thinking??? BILL WALSH BATTLING LEUKEMIA: Legendary 49ers coach discloses he's had the disease since 2004, but is feeling better thanks to recent transfusions.  NEVER-ENDING GRUDGES LIVE HERE: We may be fresh out of commentators by the end of the year if they don't quit getting in trouble for off-color comments at this pace pretty soon. According to a wire report, 'ABC's' Craig James wound up in hot water for calling Joe Paterno an 'old fart' along with making some Geritol references during a halftime segment during last week's Penn State/Wisconsin game - and the comments looked even worse after Paterno landed in the hospital after getting his leg busted up. James ended up apologizing on-air twice later on in the day. Frist off, let's correct something here - Craig James does not work for ABC Sports, in fact there is no longer such an entity as ABC Sports, Craig James is on the ESPN telecasts that happen to appear on ABC (know it's confusing). But there's more to this, as there is evidence that James has some long-standing venom for the Penn State program. You see, in 1982 SMU, better known as the best team money can buy, finished a perfect 12-0 but finished #2 to 11-1 Penn State in the final polls. With his eligibility gone, James signed with a USFL team that spring, it would be no surprise if he took a pay cut in the process. Now you know the rest of the story. Incidentally I just happen to have the highlights from the deal SMU could not close out in the 1980 Holiday Bowl on the top of this page. Think we can take Ron Meyer to task on that one??? Just stop someone on fourth down, or recover an onside kick, or max-protect your punter, or even just knock down a Hail Mary - John L. Smith can't even pull that good a meltdown.CLINTON PORTIS MOM HIT WITH LAWSUIT??? Skins running back heads up to Philadelphia for the first time since incident late last year that saw Portis' mother getting into an altercation with Eagles fans. And now it is being reported that Mom has now been hit with a lawsuit from a fan stemming from the incident. Just some friendly advice here, showing up with the opponent's colors in a visiting stadium (especially Philadelphia) is not a good idea. I remember a TV shot showing Mike Alstott's folks once when the Buccaneers had a road playoff game in Green Bay. They sat in the last row, with Mr. Alstott wearing a generic blue cap with the NFL logo on it. Sometimes it's just a good idea to low-key things. |
