Britney Spears Crotch set Web on Fire

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

Yep, that’s after she banned K-Fed from it for good.

That’s right, Britney Spears, now single after she ended this ”wet dream came true” story of one Kevin Federline, has the rest of the world talking about her sweet little ass again.

Well, flashing your pussy and displaying your ”unbalanced” boobies a couple of times will do just that.

Oh Britney, hit us baby one more time! Sorry, I just needed to get britney_boobie.jpgthat one out.

Britney Spears seems intent on finding out just how long can she get away with not wearing underwear.

Oh yeah, she’s letting the rest of the world know it too, flashing her pussy more often than not these days.

Hmm… Maybe it’s Ms. Spears’ way of saying, ”hey, my pussy is back in business.”

For the second night in a row, third time in a goddamn week, Britney Spears has been photographed by the paparazzi without her panties on.

Is this her way of telling people that she’s now a…


Red Hot Ravens visit Bengals on Thursday Night Football

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

After the utter 27-0 destruction of the team once known as the defending NFL Super Bowl champs, Pittsburgh, the Ravens want more blood.

On NFL Thursday Night Football, these red hot Baltimore Ravens will have the opportunity to do just that. They will travel to Cincinnati for Thursday Night Football and judging by the inconsistent play of the Cincinnati Bengals offense, it certainly looks like Ray Lewis and the rest of the gang will have another helpless prey come Thursday.

Ray Lewis led this Baltimore Ravens defense to become one of the best defenses there is in NFL Football. Defense has been the key for Baltimore dating as far back to their Super Bowl stint a few years ago. Unfortunately, that fabled defense took a lewis_52.jpgsabbatical from the football field when Ray Lewis was sidelined by injuries in 2001.

Now that Ray Lewis is healthy and back at full strength, the Baltimore Ravens defense is back to its old tricks again. The rest of NFL Football can do NOTHING. Heck, the NFL Football champions themselves did not even ATTEMPTED to do anything last Sunday.

However, as good as the Baltimore Ravens are this season, there still are some who remain skeptical of this new Baltimore campaign.

Fresh off dismantling the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens can make the argument that they are the NFL’s most complete team. Yet until they make another Super Bowl run, it seems the Ravens can’t escape their own…


“Star” players can’t keep their mouths shut

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

And here comes another one.

Injured New York Giants Pro Bowl defensive end Michael Strahan joined the ranks of Jeremy Shockey and Tiki Barber in mouthing off in what is quickly becoming a season of frustration for the team.

Strahan tried to intimidate an ESPN reporter who attempted to question him about comments he made on the radio Monday about receiver Plaxico Burress quitting on plays. Strahan yelled at ESPN reporter Kelly Naqi as she stood behind about three dozen members of the media trying to question him.

Strahan confronts ESPN reporterJust why did this thing happened?

Because the star players can’t keep their mouths shut. That’s why.

Strahan spent most of this three-minute lecture telling the media how to do their jobs, which is the ironic part of this episode, of course. Strahan conveniently forgets that he is part of the media this time, paid by WFAN to provide analysis on a weekly basis.

Don’t want the headache? Then don’t use the word “quit” to describe the behavior of a teammate. But don’t blame the media — your “colleagues” — for asking about…




Baccarat, Other Secrets to Winning Asian Casino Gamblers (2 of 2)

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

Baccarat’s winning number is the lucky 9 but Asian casino gamblers are way crazier about number 8.

Chinese gambling superstitions, like lucky number 8 and unlucky number 4, hold a key to gaining Asian casino gamblers, the newest ‘it’ group of customers in Las Vegas, Macau, and Native American Indian casinos. Combine that with popular Asian casino gambling games, like baccarat, pai gow, and sic bo, and casinos just might have a winning formula to justify their Asian dragon pits and Chinatown buses.

Mohegan Sun Resort and Casino, the world’s second largest casino, is upping its draw to Asian players with a $740 million expansion opening in summer next year. It will add 12,000 sqft of casino gaming space with 46 Asian gaming tables, and a 4,000 sqft Hong Kong style food outlet.

A new 5,000 sqft bus lobby will boost current marketing in which 50 buses transport 45 customers each daily from the nearby Boston and New York Chinatowns. For $10 round-trip, a player gets a coupon package worth $35 including a free bet and meal.

Asian & Chinese Casino Games

“20% is driven by our Asian American patrons, and that is how we run the floor. That is the same percentage of table games we are putting out there that are geared toward the Asian player,” says VP Rocco Santoro of the 2,000-plus Asian Americans gambling daily at Indian casino Mohegan Sun. Baccarat is easily the casino game of choice for Asian highrollers, but how about those who’d rather wager less? Santoro has more than a few answers.

Baccarat & Mini Baccarat are a hit among Asian gamblers with a high bankroll. The object is to…


Cutler to replace Plummer as Broncos Starting QB

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

Of course, we all saw this one coming after Jake Plummer’s miserable outing against the Kansas City Chiefs last Thanksgiving.

After watching Denver Broncos head coach, Mike Shanahan, deal with his quarterback controversy the past few weeks, apparently, a resolution came, give the seasoned veteran Jake Plummer the boot and pin your hopes to an unproven kid named Jay Cutler.

Jeez… as good as they say Jay Cutler is, replacing a veteran like Jake Plummer at this point of the NFL Football season is downright stupid. You’ve lost two games in a row, yes, but would you give Plummer the boot? plummer_replaced.jpgThe same guy who gave you seven wins out of your last 11 games?

Apparently, Mike Shanahan will.

Denver Broncos head coach Mike Shanahan plans to turn to rookie Jay Cutler to replace incumbent Jake Plummer for the rest of the season, starting with the team’s Dec.3 game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Jake Plummer said Thursday night after the Broncos’ 19-10 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs that he hadn’t been told his days as the starter were over, but he appeared to be steeling himself for a benching nonetheless.

‘’I'm the starter right now, and if Mike wants to put Jay in there, then my play hasn’t warranted him to not do it. Whatever he wants to do is what I have to…'’


Braylon Edwards BULLIES Charlie Brown Frye

Thursday, November 30th, 2006

The Cleveland Browns quarterback is no Charlie Brown but after being shown up by his wide receiver, he sure feels like it now.

Cleveland Browns wide receiver, Braylon Edwards, lost his composure after quarterback Charlie Frye threw an interception in their disappointing 30-0 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Probably frustrated with the way the Browns offense played Sunday, Edwards did his best ‘’Terrell Owens‘’ impersonation on his QB, exchanging words with Charlie Frye and grabbing the quarterback’s jersey while the rest of the Cleveland Browns tried to settle their teammate down.

charlie_browns.jpgYep, Braylon Edwards, the second-year Cleveland Browns wide receiver, looked almost like Terrell Owens. The only difference here is, the cocky wideout doesn’t have Owens’ natural talent to justify this shit he brought to the field.

Braylon Edwards, who didn’t speak to the media following the game, never directly apologized to Charlie Frye or anyone for his actions but he clearly regretted what happened.

‘’I don’t feel like I embarrassed my…'’


Vegas Hosts Offbeat, Flashy & Glitzy Museums

Wednesday, November 29th, 2006

PoppyZEven a visionary like Leonardo DiVinci wouldn’t have foreseen what Las Vegas museums would choose as timeless artifacts.

Vegas is home to many museums. But don’t expect a lot of Monet or Jackson Pollack around here. Instead you will find collections that in another world would have been sent to the giant garbage bins to incinerate.

To give you a clear example, we all know that the legendary Stardust Hotel Casino will turn to a big chunk of dust in 2007 to make way for a newer, bigger structure. But you can revisit the nostalgia when the hotel’s neon sign — the giant cloud-like marquee and Stardust Hotel Marqueebase support that is currently seen in front of the property on the Strip is turned over to the Neon Museum.

For those of you who don’t know what the Neon Museum is, it’s a boneyard of sorts of many of the old Las Vegas neon signs. The non-profit Neon Museum states their mission as “to collect, preserve, study and exhibit neon signs and associated artifacts to inspire educational and cultural enrichment for diverse members of our international community.”

Other famous neon signs now billeted at the museum include a Binion’s Horseshoe sign with its signature white front and red sidingnd a curvy Golden Nugget Gambling Hall number that includes an arrow pointing to the casino entrance. The oldest known sign here is that of the Normandie Motel, a blue-gray medieval hatchet motif which dates back to the ’40s.


Pittsburgh Steelers became as PATHETIC as Miami Heat

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

Buh-bye Super Bowl title.

Yep, it seems the Pittsburgh Steelers are now on their way to joining all the other NFL Super Bowl winners to go on and win the Super Bowl only to have one disappointing year the following season.

They were bashed, humiliated and destroyed by the Baltimore Ravens last Sunday and if that’s not enough proof that the Steel Curtain will go down the drain this season, nothing is.

The curtains came down hard on the Steelers’ season, that is after a 27-0 annihilation by the Baltimore Ravens who are playing the style of football expected from the Steelers.sports_losers.jpg The Steelers were a team who were suppose to be the defending Super Bowl champs. Instead, last Sunday, they went from Super Bowl champions to a sad and miserable sick joke.

The Ravens ran their record to 9-2 and stayed in position to earn a top playoff seed in the AFC while burying the Steelers’ chance of keeping their season alive.

All that’s left for the Pittsburgh Steelers now, after they tumbled to 4-7 Sunday is to play out the…


Should the Giants still Believe in Eli Manning?

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

The New York Giants could’ve gotten Philip Rivers.

Yep, that’s the very statement that has been hounding the New York Giants quarterback, Eli Manning, after a string of horrendous plays and stupid decisions on the NFL Football field.

Eli Manning, drafted by the San Diego Chargers as the overall no.1 pick at the 2004 NFL Draft was signed by the New York Giants after they sent Philip Rivers, drafted no.4 on the same draft class, to San Diego.

manning_joke.jpgWell, in case you don’t know it yet, Philip Rivers is having a MUCH BETTER season this year compared to the disgruntled Manning. Heck, the young man is ranked at no.3, behind only to the red hot Tony Romo of the Dallas Cowboys and the incomparable Indianapolis Colts leader, Peyton Manning.

How could the New York Giants trade Philip Rivers away? Rivers has become one of the more efficient quarterbacks in NFL Football. With a QB Rating of 99.7, you have to wonder what the fuck the Giants front office were…


Come on Bulls, just let Ben Wallace wear his headbands

Tuesday, November 28th, 2006

The Chicago Bulls have a thing for their players wearing headbands.

Apparently, the NBA Basketball team known as the Chicago Bulls prohibit their players from wearing headbands. Now I don’t know if Bulls wearing headbands shoot the basketball poorly or just can’t get the ‘look’ right but Bulls head coach Scott Skiles doesn’t like ‘em.

Now, we all know that newly acquired Bull, Ben Wallace, wears headbands more often than he wears underwear back when he was with the Detroit Pistons.

wallace_mess.jpgNow with an anti-headband wearing team, Chicago Bulls, you got to wonder what’s it like for Big Ben these days.

Ben Wallace was the premiere free-agent acquisition this offseason, but the $60 million man and the rest of the Chicago Bulls organization are off to a somewhat rocky start. And it’s all because of those goddamn headbands.

Chicago Bulls coach Scott Skiles pulled Ben Wallace only 2:02 after tip-off in one of their NBA Basketball games this season because the…
