This Jeopardy host was awakened at 2:30AM in his hotel room by a burglar and during the ensuing chase, fell and ruptured his Achilles tendon. He still managed to host the National Geographic World Championship in a performance comparable to Kirk Gibson in the 1988 World Series.
Who is Alex Trebek?
Here’s an interesting read about famous baseball memorabilia collector Barry Halper. They said his collection was almost as valuable as the one in Cooperstown. Turns out it was nearly all fake, though. Check it out.
Roger Clemens’s perjury case was declared a mistrial yesterday. I have no legal experience other than the B+ I got in my Business Law class, but even I wouldn’t have made an idiotic move like the prosecution did. The judge told the prosecutors early on that any testimony from Andy Pettitte’s wife could not be used because she would have gotten her information from Andy and not directly from Clemens. Of course, the prosecutors then ran a tape of a Congressman referring to what Andy told the Mrs. The judge was not pleased and called the mistrial.
Clemens probably broke the law but if the government can’t prove his wrongdoing in a quick and efficient way, then maybe it should drop the case. There’s people that committed real crimes that should stand before a court instead of a baseball player that lied about taking steroids. This would have never happened if Franklin and Bash were in charge.
OK, I know who Casey Anthony is. At least from seeing Nancy Grace yell about it on muted TV’s at my gym. Regardless of the outcome of the case, Anthony seems like a horrible person. I won’t dispute this. I just don’t get the public firestorm surrounding the case. A two-year-old child died. I’m sick of seeing her picture while I’m working on my delts. She was a real person. It’s sad, sad stuff, not an episode of Law & Order. Unless you personally knew the Anthony family, why would you be interested in the trial? There are so many terrible things going on in the world. How is this any worse than what happened in Japan? People are camped outside the courthouse and protesting the verdict. News channels are seemingly running a 24-hour cycle of Casey Anthony news. Everyone needs to get on with their own lives. Aubrey O’Day had it right.
With a little paperwork, the NYPD is now making it easier for its cops to use force to control troublemakers. The Finest have started using a new stop and frisk form with an area to explain why force was needed. Such reasons include “suspect flight” or “defense self.” Luckily, there’s also a checkbox for “other” for officers who “just wanted to act like a big man” or “compensated for my low self esteem and alcohol problem.” The New York Civil Liberty Union decried the new measure as a way to justify wrongfully stopping minorities, but if this helps the police to check out a shady looking guy in a turban who’s talking to himself, I’m all for it. At least there isn’t a checkbox that says “black.”
Peyton: “Guess nobody told him that justice was a team sport.”
Eli: “What does that mean?”
Eli and Peyton Manning took their newfound extra time from the NFL Lockout and put it into a worthy cause: Football Cops, a new TV show on DirecTV. Peyton stars as Mike Tahoe, an orphan who turned his back on a pro football career to be a cop. Eli stars as his biggest rival and fellow orphan, C.J. Hunter, who is the only man brave enough to sweep up crime on the city streets using nothing more than a football. Archie Manning guest-stars as defense attorney and Football Cop nemesis Orlando Midnight.
If this is real, it is going to be awesome and I will probably change my service to DirecTV. Or hopefully it will be on NBC six months later. I would have liked to see more cameos. How about Mike Vick as the bad guy and Ray Lewis as an informant? I WOULD WATCH THIS. The trailer was already better than the entire first season of The Killing. Maybe the lockout isn’t going to be so bad after all.
Riker’s Island has instituted a new dress code for visitors due to an overabundance of tits and ass. Instead of normal hoochie gear, guests may be asked to wear giant smocks to cover up and promote a more family-friendly environment. There’s nothing more family-friendly than spending time with rapists and robbers. Most of these guys aren’t getting any action besides the gimpy guy in the cell across the way, why not let them see a little skin? Ja Rule has had a tough couple of years anyway. This is insult to injury.
I’m sure there’s better things that money could be spent on than smocks when Tawny comes to visit. Maybe spend more on kids so they don’t turn into criminals. The Eight Ammendment of the Constitution prohibits cruel and unusual punishment and that is exactly what is taking place here. It is every man’s inalienable right to see their woman’s boobies jiggle. So if Roxxy comes to visit and her thong is hanging out, don’t make her put on a smock. It’s the American way.
Everyone is up in arms about this NYPD ticket-fixing investigation. Fair enough. Just because you’re buddies with a cop, doesn’t mean your speeding ticket should get “lost.” Then, Alex Rodriguez emerged as one of the celebrities named in the scandal (along with George Steinbrenner and Jay-Z) for speeding on the West Side Highway and of course landed in the headlines in every newspaper.
Despite the fact that A-Rod has seen his share of tabloid stories from Madonna to Kristin Davis, can we just let him get away with this, Daily News and Post? The dude has 600 home runs and led the Yanks to the World Series last year. Plus, he’s tagging Cameron Diaz. When he’s selling drugs to schoolchildren, make sure he’s on the front cover. If he’s not, and his biggest crime is getting a $100 fine waived because he’s a fucking megastar and shouldn’t be made to bother with such trifling matters when he’s trying to win a Title for the City, give him a break and let him concentrate on hitting home runs. A-Rod can hit me with his car going 85 and as long as he got to the Stadium on time, I’d be fine with it.
Nude Nuns With Big Guns is one of the latest film releases from Camelot Distribution Group, a B-movie company. The movie, about a nun who takes justice into her own hands while presumably naked, will potentially make Camelot a huge windfall. Not from ticket or video sales, but by suing 5,865 people who illegally downloaded the flick. If Camelot fully pursues every lawsuit, Nude Nuns can potentially make them over $850 million off a budget of $85,000. It’s a pretty shiesty move by Camelot, but the strategy is being used more often by small film and porn companies. Imagine being sued for downloading Nude Nuns With Big Guns. How do you explain that one to the wife? Concurrently, Camelot is being sued by its financier after it defaulted on a loan, so its ownership of the film is in doubt and the idiots facing their illegal downloading lawsuits will have a little more time to sweat it out. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with this case.

Tony Kadyhrob is a ladies’ man. He’s charming. He has a car with racing stripes. It’s almost like Katy Perry wrote Teenage Dream about him. There’s only one problem. Kadyhrob was banned from going to any school property in New Jersey after trying to pull a female student into his car at Rider University. After being arrested at Rider, he showed up cruising for chicks three days later at the College of New Jersey. He’s also been spotted at Princeton and Rutgers. This guy just likes college girls. Of his troubles, Kadyhrob says, “Tony Kadyhrob is not intimidated by this joke, a little nothing that never occurred and I will be found innocent without a doubt.” He even speaks in the third person. How does this guy not already have a hot sorority girl to share a bottle of champagna with?
