Why Charlie Sheen Got Away With Abusing Women -- but Galliano Didn't
By Luisita Lopez Torregrosa - Politics DailyNEW YORK -- For eight years as a major TV star and chief macho maniac, Charlie Sheen threatened, abused and scared women in his life, including two wives and numerous escorts, call girls and starlets. How did Sheen get away with it time and time again? Where was public opinion? Where were the female bloggers and columnists and the feminists groups who are usually ready to jump up and cry out against the smallest hint of sexism and abuse? Celebrity usually trumps all. Sports figures, movie stars, big financiers may get a pass and even forgiveness and adulation when most people might not. It's ...
Leslie Frazier Avoids Word 'Rebuilding' at NFL Combine
By John Oehser - AOL NewsINDIANAPOLIS -- Leslie Frazier sees things a bit differently from outsiders. While many observers see the Minnesota Vikings very much in a rebuilding mode and needing upgrades around the roster, Frazier -- entering his first full season as the Vikings' coach -- might agree with the first part, but not the second. Sure, Frazier said, there are improvements needed. But rebuilding? Frazier stopped short of saying the Vikings were in such a mode. Well short. "We're not that far removed from playing in the NFC Championship Game," Frazier said Friday at a press conference during the 2011 NFL ...
Mark Sanchez's Purported Romance With 17-Year-Old the Latest New York Jets Tabloid Fodder
By David Knowles - AOL NewsIt's the team that keeps on giving. New York Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez, 24, finds himself at the center of media attention today after a story ran on the website Deadspin detailing allegations of an affair Sanchez had with an unnamed 17-year-old New Jersey girl. According to Deadspin, Sanchez and the young woman met at a nightclub in New York, and the two went on to, as the story puts it, "hook up." While there was nothing illegal about Sanchez's alleged actions (17 is legal, according to age-of-consent laws in New Jersey and New York), the story, as well as the potential for further ...
The Dugout: Orville-Rod
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsI watched the Super Bowl last night, and I got two things from the experience: one, that I can get an ass like Kim Kardashian's if I buy a pair of Sketchers, and two, Alex Rodriguez is the last person on the Earth I want to see publicly displaying his affection. Above you can see him being fed popcorn by Cameron Diaz, something that became a national news story because jesus lord how far away is baseball season? Today's Dugout follows and is mostly about football, but "about football" in the way that most Dugouts are "about baseball." The Dugout **Online ...
Aaron Rodgers Proves He's the One True Starr Quarterback in Green Bay
By Terence Moore - AOL NewsARLINGTON, Texas -- Just like that, it's not about Brett Favre anymore when it comes to Aaron Rodgers. It's about Bart Starr. Then again, maybe it's about Rodgers evolving into the modern-day Steve Young, especially since Rodgers grew up in Northern California as a San Francisco 49ers fan. Let's just say Young boasted of feeling lighter after he finally resembled his predecessor -- somebody named Joe Montana -- by leading the 49ers to a world championship. When reminded as much, Rodgers grinned Sunday night in a back room of Cowboys Stadium before saying, "I've never felt like there's been ...
Ben Roethlisberger and NFL's Bad Boys Find God Is Good -- With Practice
By David Gibson - Politics DailyIf quarterback Ben Roethlisberger can lead his Pittsburgh Steelers to victory in Sunday's Super Bowl, it's a good bet he'll look into the television cameras right after the game and thank God for his remarkable pilgrimage from pariah to hero -- a player who started the season with a four-game suspension after his second sexual-assault accusation in a year, but ended it with a championship ring. It's also likely that more than a few of the 100 million viewers will roll their eyes (or worse) at Roethlisberger's piety, figuring him to be just another scandal-tarred bad boy using Jesus to protect ...
Unfortunately, Packers No Longer Care About Brett Favre
By Terence Moore - AOL NewsIRVING, Texas -- The saddest thing about Super Bowl XLV is that the Green Bay Packers want you to forget about the other guy. They really do. "All of the people, they're moving on. They're just excited about No. 12," said Packers offensive guard Daryn Colledge, referring to Aaron Rodgers, now the people's choice in Green Bay at quarterback -- as opposed to Brett Favre, the other guy, who was No. 4 before a nasty ending in 2008 to his 16-year career with the Packers. That's why, when you mention Favre these days, you get a bunch of contradictory responses from his old locker room. On the ...
The Dugout: Don't Be Brett Favre
By Brandon Stroud - AOL NewsPictured to the immediate right (or left, depending on where you're reading this) is television celebrity Brett Favre, the lead singer of the 90s rock group "Spin Doctors" and apparently some kind of football player. Favre is recently famous for sending pictures of his junk to people, which is something anyone with junk and a camera would do. This Dugout has nothing to do with Brett Favre, but I want you to click through and at least give me the hit, so Brett Favre. Brett Favre hates Dr. Martin Luther King. I don't know, does he? In baseball news, Andy Pettitte may or may not return to ...
Brett Favre Fake Commercial Asks 'What Should I Do?'
By Ryan Wilson - AOL NewsThere was a time, four or five years ago, when a video spoofing Brett Favre would have been widely ridiculed. Now, after his Hall of Fame career in Green Bay, followed by a forgettable stint with the Jets (both on and off the field, it turns out), and the annual "I'm re-un-retiring" spring press conferences, we're all Favred out. Which means that the guy who once avoided criticism from media and fans is now a daily target. Especially given the revelations that he has a predilection for texting naughty photos to women not named Deanna. So while it has probably made thing uncomfortable around ...
Terence's Take: Brett Favre's Retirement
By FanHouse TV - AOL NewsSo, Brett Favre has filed his retirement papers with the NFL. Is this the end or just another turn in Favre's winding tale? FanHouse TV's Terence Moore looks back to his childhood to put some perspective on it, and gets word from his original "source" that Favre's playing days just might not be finished yet. Click to watch: ...
