Good news for Philadelphia 76ers fans, looks like Allen Iverson is going to stay.

Well, that is according to Philadelphia 76ers president, Billy King. The Sixers president said that he has taken Iverson’s name off the trading block and expects the All-Star to be with the team at the start of NBA training camp.

Hmm… Allen Iverson wants to stay with the Philadelphia 76ers and it looks like the former MVP is going to get his wish.

‘’I've pretty much said that I expect him to be with us at the start of training camp,'’ King told The Philadelphia Inquirer in a story posted on its Web site.

He adds, ‘’Our conversations with other teams at this point going forward do not include him.'’

Of course, it’s being too much of a naïve of the Sixers president of saying that. Surely, everybody’s got their price and if, say the Minnesota Timber wolves, offer a Kevin Garnett to Philadelphia’s little hero, then by golly, Billy King will send Allen Iverson to the pack of Wolves in a heartbeat.

The 76ers failed to make the playoffs last season. Almost immediately, speculation began that Iverson, who has spent his 10-year career in Philadelphia, would be dealt.

Iverson said this month that his wish was to remain with the Sixers and that the trade rumors had taken a toll on…

It’s always gotta be something when an American wins the Tour de France doesn’t it.

The story was phenomenal, ESPY worthy even: ‘Man with degenerative hip rides  through pain and suffering to win the Tour de France. Beautiful…

But then bam…before you can get your morning latte you’re slapped with: "American Tour de France winner Floyd Landis tests positive for high-testosterone." If Landis is found guilty of doping, he could be stripped of the Tour title, and Spain’s Oscar Pereiro would become champion.

We’ll see what the B sample results are. There have been a few A sample results over the last year or two that have been overturned by B sample tests. There have been a lot that were confirmed. Time will tell.

Could it be true? Or could it be another French backlash since the US keeps on dominating the race? Anyways, we should wait for the counter expertise. And keep in mind the lab is French.

(I see the plot theory coming)

Seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong did well at the ESPY’s with : "The French soccer team are all tester positive to be ……. ASSHOLES." Now here comes the dreaded French retaliation.  I’m not an American Francophobe but you Jacques Chirac must be ready for a new wave of…

Usually a Bodog Party is only half complete without the presence of its CEO and founder Calvin Ayre.

But the Bodog WSOP party at the Tao Venetian in Las Vegas proved a great party can indeed happen without him. Perhaps his way of showing everyone that Bodog is a well-oiled machinery able to run smoothly even without him plastering his face all over the events all the time.

Yes, Calvin was a no-show at his own party. It’s easy to miss the dude usually sandwiched between his scantily-clad Bodog girls in all the pictures. That’s a real first and we all know the reason why.

After the arrest, indictment, and termination of David Carruthers from BetOnSports all eyes are on Calvin. Is he next in line? Will he be arrested once his thousand dollar shoes touch US soil? Is he being watched by the FBI?

Wow, that’s a storyline perfect for Oceans 14.

Despite all these Calvin Ayre vs. US conspiracy theories popping up in the gambling community, Calvin shows a brave face. He insists everything Bodog does is legal within the bounds of international law.

He goes on to assure us that even if he gets arrested, Bodog operation will not cease to exist:

"It would have no impact on the Bodog operations since they are private and are structured to run without my active involvement. It would, however, have a very positive branding effect in that it would make me even more famous and would increase the profile of the Bodog brand by giving me world wide media attention and a large soap box to stand on for my messaging and I would be…'’

Have you fulfilled your sex fantasies? Until I hump Jennifer Aniston, I’m yet to fulfill mine.

Well, as far as sex fantasies are concerned, there’s one sex fantasy you shouldn’t be trying. Well, THAT is according to these so-called ‘’experts.'’ But who are they to tell you what you should do and NOT do eh?

Apparently, experts say that having sex in outer space have ‘’definite downsides,'’ whatever the hell that means.

Having sex in the weightlessness of outer space is the stuff of urban legends and romantic fantasy but experts say that one may experience ‘’space sickness'’ and the difficulty of choreographing intimacy. Not to mention sweat and other bodily fluids to get in the way.

‘’The fantasy might be vastly superior to the reality,'’ NASA physician Jim Logan said at the Space Frontier Foundation’s NewSpace 2006 conference. Nevertheless, Logan and others say the study of sex and other biological basics in outer space will be crucial to humanity’s long-term push into the final frontier.

‘’Sex in space is not just a good idea, it’s survival,'’ said Vanna Bonta, a writer who blends romance with space travel and quantum physics in the novel ‘’Flight.'’

According to Bonta, sex in space would likely be ‘’hotter and wetter'’ (hmm… what’s wrong with hotter and wetter?) than on Earth because in zero-G…

Uh-oh. The MPAA anti-piracy dogs got the wrong guy.

They sued him for a P2P download. It turns out he is worth millions, wields power in IT, and wants to fight back.

The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) filed a lawsuit against Shawn Hogan for charges of illegal downloading. They alleged he downloaded the Universal Pictures movie, Meet the Fockers, over the BitTorrent peer-to-peer system. They offered him to settle the case out of court for $2,500.

Hogan denies the charges. He would not take settlement for an answer. He wants his day in court, and he can afford it.

He is the CEO of successful business software firm Digital Point Solutions. His clients include the Walt Disney Co. and the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. Clearly he is sufficiently moneyed to retaliate against the MPAA, and is raring to just that. Says Hogan, in a Wired magazine interview: “They’re completely abusing the system. …I would spend well into the millions on this.”

Hey, for all we know, he was downloading the latest Mozilla Firefox or some tennis betting free picks. Jeez, no wonder the…

The odds are against Milwaukee Brewers general manager Doug Melvin as far as trading Carlos Lee is concerned.

Yup, that’s what the now infamous Milwaukee Brewers general manager said Tuesday evening on the possibility of trading left fielder Carlos Lee before the non-waiver deadline on Monday.

‘’If I had to put a percentage on it, I’d say it’s under 50 percent,'’ said Melvin, who spent much of the day on the telephone, discussing trade possibilities with other MLB baseball general managers.

He was asked what might make those odds increase and Melvin’s reply was, ‘’I really don’t know. You’ve got to keep the door open for anything. I know how people react if they feel like they’ve been left out (of possible trade talks).'’

Melvin has said all along that he’d be reluctant to trade Carlos Lee, who can be a free agent after the season. Well, that is if the Brewers were still in the playoff hunt.

Seeing these Brewers still in the playoff hunt will be like asking for Michael Jordan to lace ‘em up one more time.

Entering action Tuesday night, they were nine games behind St. Louis in the MLB’s National League Central but only 4½ games in back of wild-card leader Cincinnati Reds. The Reds will be coming to town this weekend for a three-game series.

‘’I'm still open to…'’

Don’t be fooled by this headline.

Those money-hungry clickers haven’t succeeded in cornering the celebrity global family inside their Malibu home, held hostage and too frozen to even make a run for it.

A silicone doll of Baby Brangelina (a.k.a. Shiloh Nouvelle Jolie-Pitt) was presented to the press, including the paparazzis, at Madame Tussauds in New York. Cashing in on the public’s humongous fascination with Brad and Angelina’s "chosen one", the museum unveiled the wax figures of the family. Surrounded by African furry beasts in what look like its own Safari version of the Nativity.

The figure, complete with her mother’s “signature pouty lips and delicate features,” displayed in an “African-themed nursery,” where it will rest “peacefully” in a woven basket, according to the museum’s description.

The museum also said that Shiloh is the first infant to be immortalized in wax — take that Jesus! Madame Tussands general manager Janine DiGioacchino justified this by adding that Shiloh is already an iconic figure in world popular culture, a very significant feat for an 8-week-old.

Baby Shiloh wax was sculpted based on her first pictures published by People Magazine. Therefore it’s not true that the artists were made to bring myhrr, gold and frankincense so they can be allowed to see the babe in her…

Survivor’s ‘’fat naked guy,'’ Richard Hatch, may have survived an island. Let’s see him SURVIVE prison.

Yeah, the miserable fag is back on TV, only this time, he’s not competing for immunity in one of them Survivor Reality TV shows. He he… Poor guy is being put behind bars.

Richard Hatch has been sent to a federal prison in Oklahoma, as he serves a 51-month sentence. Apparently, he failed to pay taxes for the $1 million he won on the debut season of ‘’Survivor.'’

Uh oh, going to Oklahoma is one thing, being stuck there inside a federal prison is just miserable. He he…

Richard Hatch, who is now 45 years old, arrived last week at the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City. As of this writing, it is STILL not yet clear why Hatch was moved or whether he will serve out his prison sentence at the facility, but he will be trying to SURVIVE Oklahoma prison with steroid buffs looking to hump him in the you-know-what.

The Federal Transfer Center is a hub for prisoners transferring through the federal system.

A federal jury convicted Hatch in January of failing to pay taxes on the ‘’Survivor'’ prize and other income. He was sentenced in May to 51 months in prison by a judge who said the reality TV star had lied repeatedly on the witness stand.

Hatch had previously been held at the Plymouth County Correctional Facility in Massachusetts.

He would prefer to serve his sentence near his family in Rhode Island or in…
