'South Park' Sexual Healing Episode Features Tiger Woods, Big Ben
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsSouth Park has historically been so willing to take on anything in its new seasons, that it wouldn't have been surprising to see them do an episode on Haiti last night (that's not a joke -- they pull NO punches). Of course, that would have been avoiding the ginormous elephant in the room: Tiger Woods. Share Yes, that's right. South Park's season opener focused Tiger last night, and specifically, the perils of sex addiction. In case you don't know about sex addiction, it's apparently a virus created by an alien wizard that infects really rich people. Quite tragic, indeed. Below, Trey ...
In Solemn Tone, Tiger Woods Offers Apology
By David Knowles - AOL News(Feb. 19) -- Ending three months of silence after an early morning auto accident unfolded into multiple revelations of marital infidelity, Tiger Woods publicly apologized for the behavior that has prompted his temporary departure from the game of golf. "I know I have bitterly disappointed all of you," Woods told the gathering of friends, business associates and reporters. "I am embarrassed I have put you in this position." Often looking directly into the camera, Woods spoke for almost 15 minutes, taking personal responsibility for actions and vowing to return to his career after completing ...
Wordz for Jewelz: Why Iverson Must Start
By Bethlehem Shoals - AOL NewsOur very own Terence Moore already offered up the best reason Allen Iverson should start the All-Star Game: The people voted him in, and he wants to do it. But over at TrueHoop, esteemed author Sherman Alexie feels otherwise. He harnessed the power of verse to argue that Iverson should man up and refuse to accept an honor he hasn't earned. Here is my response, in the contemporary poetic vernacular we call hip-hop battle rhyme. If you want to hear a voice in your head, try Saafir's "Battle Drill." Hey everybody come and see my home Twenty feet high with the Wipers on I could spend all day ...
When Jordan Met Leno
By Bethlehem Shoals - AOL NewsAs one friend of mine said this morning, "Michael Jordan's appearance on The Jay Leno Show was so stupid, I can't even make jokes about it." He's right, which is why I'll leave the recap alone. If you haven't watched it yet, venture down below the jump; I saw it first at NESW Sports. The reason I'm still stuck on this totally forgettable meeting of the minds is how perfectly these two men parallel each other. I'm trying to avoid an all-out gimmick post here. But what Leno's doing to late night with his bloodless coup is pretty much the same harm Jordan continues to inflict on the NBA. One ...
Hanes Drops Ads Featuring Charlie Sheen with Michael Jordan
By Jon Weinbach - AOL NewsTiger Woods isn't the only celebrity losing ads for bad behavior. Add Charlie Sheen -- and by association, Michael Jordan - to the list. Hanesbrands Inc., the maker of Hanes brand underwear and casual clothing, announced that it is ending its relationship with Sheen in response to the domestic violence charges related to his Christmas Day altercation with his wife Brooke in Aspen, Colorado. Since 2008, Sheen, the star of CBS' "Two and Half Men" and films such as "Wall Street" and "Platoon," had been featured in a series of Hanes ads alongside Jordan, who has been a spokesman for Hanes since ...
Stephen Colbert Debuts Sports Illustrated Cover
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsStephen Colbert is a big fan of the Olympics. So big, in fact, that he and the Colbert Nation are sponsoring the US speedskating team. The result? More than $250,000 in donations for the once sponsor-less team. And that led to this: Colbert's on this week's Sports Illustrated cover, an honor usually reserved solely for Michael Jordan, Brett Favre and Tiger Woods (slight exaggeration). Whatever, it's a pretty amazing honor for the host of the Colbert Report considering the few times (Chris Rock comes to mind) that a comedian/celebrity has graced the cover of SI. More importantly might be SI's ...
Lawrence Taylor Thinks Tiger Should Find Jesper and 'Beat His Ass'
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsLawrence Taylor is not exactly the type of guy that pulls punches (I believe, in The Blind Side he even mentions that he created the title's term in football) or acts modestly. Although he did try and be modest during a recent interview following a round of golf with Michael Jordan ... except he said he "kicked his ass" on the course. That discussion led to questions about Tiger Woods (naturally ... please don't bother NOT talking about it) and LT had a little advice for Tiger when he gets back on the golf course: beat Jesper Parnevik's ass. "Listen I hope he does get back. The first thing I ...
Kobe: LeBron Using Head, Not Mouth
By Chris Tomasson - AOL NewsDENVER -- Do as I say and not as I do. Or, at least not what Kobe Bryant once did. While bound for free agency in the summer of 2004, the Lakers star openly spoke about teams he might consider. But Bryant now says Cleveland star LeBron James is making the right decision by deciding earlier this week to stop talking about his impending free agency. "He doesn't need to,'' Bryant said in an interview with FanHouse while in Denver for Friday's 105-79 loss to the Nuggets. "He did the right thing by not talking about it. I mean, what can you say?'' Bryant was reminded he talked openly about ...
LeBron to Switch Jersey Numbers Out of Respect for Jordan
By Tom Ziller - AOL NewsThe Heat drew mostly guffaws when it retired the jersey of Michael Jordan, who never played one second for the franchise. Heat prez Pat Riley suggested it was a move to honor the game's greatest player, but most saw it as a silly bit of marketing showmanship.MJ attended Thursday's Heat-Cavaliers game with Riley -- the TNT broadcast crew noted that Scottie Pippen also sat courtside, and suggested it might have been some subliminal "pair with Dwyane Wade!" messaging to LeBron James. MJ's presence made the game a bit more weird, and led to a rare political statement from LeBron: he thinks players ...
Vaccaro: adidas Wrong With MJ's Son
By Tim Povtak - AOL NewsTake it from the pioneer who started this idea of cozy, contractual relationships between the shoe giants and the NCAA schools: adidas has screwed up this time. Sonny Vaccaro speaks from experience. "What a PR nightmare for adidas. This should have been a no-brainer,'' Vaccaro said. "It's nothing but a personal thing against Michael Jordan.'' At issue is the recent decision by adidas to severe its relationship with the University of Central Florida, which has a contract that requires all of its athletes and coaches to wear adidas products.In the midst of negotiating a new six-year, estimated ...
