Unequal Technologies Signs Michael Vick: 4 Other Disgraced Athletes Who Got Endorsement Deals
By Mary Phillips-Sandy - AOL NewsCorporate forgiveness, it seems, isn't always so hard to come by. Nearly a year and a half after being released from prison for running an illegal dogfighting ring, Michael Vick has landed an endorsement deal with Unequal Technologies. The sports equipment company is betting that Vick can entice people to think about its shock-blocking sports pads, rather than his much-maligned past. Although the terms have not been disclosed, CEO Rob Vito calls the deal "sizable." Whether a sizable number of American consumers disagree with commentator Tucker Carlson, who said Vick "should've been executed" ...
Ten Most Outrageous Stories From Outlandish 2010
By Clay Travis - AOL NewsThis column comes the day after Tucker Carlson said Mike Vick should have been executed for his treatment of dogs and the Sugar Bowl CEO admitted he lobbied Ohio State to keep its players eligible to "protect the integrity" of the game. Protect the integrity of the bowl game at the expense of a university and NCAA integrity? Makes perfect sense in the Alice in Wonderland through the looking glass world of college football. Execute someone for a low end felony? Equally absurd rationale. Both of these stories serve as further evidence that 2010 represents the most absurd year in the history of ...
It's Time For Technological Abstinence
By Clay Travis - AOL News"Seinfeld" creator Larry David based an entire episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" around the premise that he refused to have any sexual fetishes because he was afraid of what might come out if he got divorced. He should have expanded the conceit of that episode to include the dangers of sex fetishes in the age of the Internet. In a year that began with the uncovering of Tiger Woods' extramarital shenanigans, extended into Brett Favre's sexting of Jenn Sterger, and finally culminates with Jets coach Rex Ryan role-playing a police officer aroused by his wife's feet hanging out the driver's side ...
Looking Back at the 2010 Golf Storylines, On and Off the Course
By Mick Elliott - AOL NewsIf golf 2010 reminded us of anything it was that seasons are often remembered not as much by what was accomplished as they are by the moments that made people pay attention. There are news stories and then there are newsmakers. Although easily confused, the two are as different as a hook and a slice. News is the result of proficiency and production. Something happens. It is created by events, challenge and adversity. Making people look is always interesting, but not always an accomplishment. Because no season in memory so blurred the lines as 2010, somebody has to sort the ...
The Tiger Woods Timeline
By FanHouse Staff - AOL NewsOn Nov. 27, 2009, it was reported that Tiger Woods had crashed his Escalade not far from his home in Florida. In the year since, the man who was once one of the greatest, most revered, most iconic athletes of our time has undergone tremendous upheaval. His personal, public and professional lives haven't been the same since, and won't likely be ever again. Here's a look back at a year we, and Tiger Woods, will never forget. Nov. 25, 2009 -- "The National Enquirer" publishes a story alleging Woods had been seeing New York nightclub hostess Rachel Uchitel, and that she was photographed at his ...
Tiger Woods Needs to Be Loved, Unfortunately He Isn't
By Clay Travis - AOL NewsWhen you break it all down there are two kinds of athletes: those who can handle being hated and those who can't. Some athletes perform their best when the world is at war with them: Barry Bonds, Terrell Owens, Kobe Bryant. While others need to bathe in fan adulation in order to be successful: LeBron James, Vince Young, Alex Rodriguez. Up until this year, we didn't really know about Tiger Woods. He seemed like the kind of athlete who could put on his sunglasses and ignore all distractions as he stood over a ball on the tee. Certainly that was his reputation on the course, that his powers of ...
Tiger's Rebound Will Be Sterling
By David Whitley - AOL NewsWe usually wait until the New Year for predictions. But according to the Tiger calendar, this one will arrive Friday at 2:33 a.m. when the ball drops at Isleworth. It will be out with the old year featuring zero wins, one divorce, two porn flicks, three weeks in sexual rehab, nine threatened paternity suits from Devon James, 16 say-nothing interviews, an undisclosed number of visits from a Canadian witch doctor, $22 million in lost endorsements and at least four suicides by Nike executives. It will be in with the new, which will feature four or five wins on the PGA Tour and one major ...
Tiger Woods Becoming Marketable Again
By FanHouse Staff - AOL NewsTiger Woods used to be one of the most highly-sought after pitchmen. That is, until the sex scandal that enveloped his personal, public and private life; after which Woods became persona non-grata to all those who used to line up to sign him to endorsement deals. But with the one-year anniversary of the car crash that started that whole drama approaching, Woods is slowly completing his PR makeover, and marketers are starting to buy it. According to agent Mark Steinberg, Woods has engaged in "several constructive conversations," and that a survey to gauge Woods' public image has yielded very ...
Tiger Woods: 'I'm Not the Same Man I Was a Year Ago'
By FanHouse Staff - AOL NewsTiger Woods is continuing to overhaul his personal, public and professional life in the wake of the cheating and divorce scandal that has consumed his world in the last year. It was, in fact, almost a year ago exactly, the Friday after Thanksgiving, that news of Woods' car crash shocked the world. So it's appropriate timing for Woods to take the next step in his attempt to overhaul his image and public perception, as Woods has penned a short editorial for "Newsweek" on his struggle, recovery and where he is a year after everything changed. Woods admits that his life was "out of balance" and ...
Devon James, Tiger Woods' Alleged Mistress, Claims She Has Sold Sex Tape
By Will Brinson - AOL NewsDevon James, one of the women who claims that she slept with Tiger Woods, is now stating that she has sold a 62-minute video of her and Tiger Woods having sex to a DVD production company. This is according to Radar Online, who spoke to James' husband, Nick. "We made a deal with a DVD production company," he said. The reason it's not a production company you've ever heard of? Nick claims that the other studios were "scared of the Tiger lawyers." James eventually found an interested party willing to pay for an alleged video of the most famous athlete in the world having sex with someone other ...
