‘’Even if I wanted to have sex with animals, it is still none of your business!'’ - FIA President Max Mosley
Sunday, April 27th, 2008
No, he didn’t really said that but that’s the drift he wanted everybody to get.
I’m sure you’ve already heard about the sex scandal that rocked FIA president Max Mosley and the rest of the F1 world this 2008 F1 season. Yup, after he was caught in a sex orgy via video tape, many people were clamoring for him to resign much to the dismay of the FIA big boss.
Yup, FIA president Max Mosley was asked to stepped down from his post after he was seen in a sex video having sex with five hookers dressed in Nazi outfits and as prison camp prisoners.
Mosley thinks otherwise,
saying that his sex life, no matter how sick it is, is nobody’s business. He continues to defend his right to an ‘’eccentric'’ private life and said he would fight to continue running the world of motor racing.
‘’Most people say if somebody likes doing that, if it’s not harming anybody, if it’s in private and it’s completely secret and personal, it’s nothing to do with me,'’ FIA president Max Mosley said.
‘’If they wish me to continue, I will continue, if they don’t, I’ll stop. But I will also say to them that it was always my intention, because it is, that I was never going to go beyond…'’

Kevin Garnett hopes Defense really wins NBA titles
Saturday, April 26th, 2008
After all, he is the NBA Defensive Player of the Year.
As the 2008 NBA playoffs continue, Kevin Garnett was awarded with the NBA Defensive Player of the Year trophy after leading the Boston Celtics back to the postseason with the best regular season record in all of the NBA.
You read it folks, Kevin Garnett is this season’s Defensive Player of the Year, winning the league’s top defensive honors for the first time in his 13-year career.
Now I don’t know why it took the league 13 years before they recognized the ‘’grade A defense'’ in KG’s game with the NBA Defensive Player of the Year trophy, probably has something to do with KG spending all those years with a loser like the Minnesota Timberwolves.
‘’I actually assumed he had won it before,'’ Boston Celtics head coach Doc Rivers said. ‘’I had assumed he won three or four of them.'’
Kevin Garnet, being the consummate teammate that he is, claimed that anybody from his team can win the award. ‘’I just so happen to be the one who talks the loudest,'’ he later said, before being presented with the keys to a new Kia Borrego, a perk he got after winning the NBA’s top defensive honors.
Garnett was traded from Minnesota to Boston before the season began. Now that KG is with a team like the Boston Celtics…

Talladega Nights will come to NASCAR this Sunday
Saturday, April 26th, 2008
NO, this is not the next Will Ferrell flick.
Seasoned drivers such as Jeff Gordon, Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch will be among the pre-race favorites for the Aaron’s 499 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race on Sunday, April 27 at Talladega Superspeedway.
The Sprint Cup Series is the top racing series of the National Association for Stock Car Auto Racing. Sprint Cup Series was formerly known as the Strictly Stock Series (1949), Grand National Series (1950-1971), the Winston Cup Series (1972-2003), the NEXTEL Cup Series (2004-2007), and most recently the Sprint Cup Series in 2008.
Jeff Gordon, who will wheel a specially painted No. 24 DuPont / Pepsi Chevrolet for Hendrick Motorsports in the Aaron’s 499 on Sunday, April 27, at Talladega Superspeedway will be shooting for his third straight Talladega Superspeedway victory after sweeping both Sprint Cup Series events at NASCAR’s Most Competitive Track in 2007.
‘’I don’t think a lot has changed since the last time we were there,'’ Jeff Gordon said during the recent Sprint Cup Series weekend at Phoenix International Raceway. ‘’We had an awesome, awesome day (last October), awesome race. Love to have the same result. Certainly any time we go to a restrictor track, and Talladega being one of the best ones out there for us, I always look forward to going there.'’
Dale Earnhardt Jr., Tony Stewart and Kyle Busch are among at least 12 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series stars that will pull double duty during the upcoming Aaron’s Dream…

You wanna’ meet former NFL Football running back Herschel Walker and his 11 other personalities?
Saturday, April 26th, 2008
Because, quite frankly, it’ll take you an entire day trying to meet all of them.
And in case you didn’t get that, former NFL running back Herschel Walker has been suffering from a split personality disorder that it would take a while trying to meet all of the Herschel Walkers in the world.
Walker claims he has around a dozen personalities that, understandably, drove him insane and almost pushed him over the edge. Well, maybe if he decides to come out of retirement, those 12 personalities of his can provide a team like the Green Bay Packers with a dozen more running backs and hopefully, that will help Green Bay coming to the 2008-09 NFL football season.
Maybe he’ll find that worth living for eh? After all, Green Bay will start their search for their next hero after Brett Favre finally retired and he has 12 chances within himself of becoming the next legend of Lambaeu. He he…
Seriously speaking now, Herschel Walker was in a ‘’Nightline'’ interview where the 46-year-old said he has been in treatment for eight years, believing that his disorder is now under control. He even came up a book to which he claims as therapeutic for him.
‘’I've totally changed from back then to where I am today,'’ Herschel Walker said.
Herschel Walker became a Heisman Trophy winner with the Georgia Bulldogs. He entered the NFL Draft after three seasons in the USFL. He played 12 years in the NFL with…

Pistons and 76ers break 1-1 tie in the 2008 NBA Playoffs
Friday, April 25th, 2008
Of course, whatever happens, breaking the 1-1 tie IS a guarantee.
The 2008 NBA playoffs have begun to shift towards the yard of the lower seeded teams and in this case, Philadelphia, as the Pistons and the 76ers resume their best-of-seven first round match-up in Philly with the series tied at one game apiece.
That’s right, after the Detroit Pistons were defeated by Philadelphia in shocking fashion back in Game 1, the 76ers return home for Game 3 with the homecourt advantage over the no.2 seeded team from the 313.
Although the Pistons won Game 2 convincingly, they STILL have a lot of work to do as they try to regain homecourt, looking to win at least one of the next two games to be played in the City of Brotherly Love against the somewhat pesky Philadelphia 76ers team.
The Pistons STILL have a lot of concerns coming into Game 3 as well. Although they pounded the 76ers in Game 2 en route to a convincing 105-88 win, it doesn’t guarantee that the Pistons we saw in Game 1 won’t materialize in Philly on Friday night.
You see, back in Game 1, Rasheed Wallace and the rest of the Pistons looked…

Seattle Seahawks kicked Shaun Alexander out
Friday, April 25th, 2008
Of course, many of us saw this one coming.
As early as the first week of March, still a lifetime away from the brand new 2008-09 NFL football season, people were already anticipating Shaun Alexander’s departure from the Seattle Seahawks.
Why? After the Seahawks signed two new running backs, it was apparent that Shaun Alexander is being set-up to an abrupt exit. Although this guy was a former Most Valuable Player awardee, his stint last season was… well… PATHETIC to say the least.
Last Tuesday, the anticipation ended. After a doctor’s appointment to check on his wrist and a couple of phone calls to make sure he was cleared, the Seattle Seahawks announced that their
leading rusher in franchise history was gone, given his unconditional release.
Seattle Seahawks president Tim Ruskell said, ‘’One of the toughest decisions I’ll ever have to make.'’
Of course, we know better.
Shaun Alexander arrived in Seattle in 2000 to play backup to Ricky Watters. In 2003, he led the Seahawks to become a perennial playoff team. He averaged 1,500 rushing yards and 19.6 touchdowns in his first five seasons with Seattle.
In 2005, he led the Seahawks to the Super Bowl, setting a league record for touchdowns with 28 and becoming the first ever Seahawk to be named the NFL Most Valuable Player of the Year.
‘’I started my NFL career in Seattle and hoped I could remain with the team through the rest of my days as a player,'’ Shaun Alexander said…

Rockets did the Impossible, beat the Jazz in Utah
Friday, April 25th, 2008
You read it people, the Rockets are not done yet.
As the 2008 NBA playoffs prepare to wrap up the first round of the postseason, the Rockets are not ready to wrap up anything yet. After beating the Jazz, Game 3 in Utah, where the Jazz are simply UNBEATABLE, the Rockets made sure this series will return to Texas and hopefully, they’ll be looking at a series pushed back to square one.
The Houston Rockets avoided a sweep when they came up with a shocking 94-92 win, Game 3 in Salt Lake City, Utah. That dealt the Jazz a very very very rare loss at home, as Houston accomplished what was deemed as impossible, possible, and that’s beat the Jazz at the EnergySolutions Arena.
The Utah Jazz simply had no answer for Rockets star Tracy McGrady as T-Mac fnally snapped out of his fourth-quarter slump, scoring seven of his team-high 27 points to lead Houston to their very first win of the 2008 NBA playoffs.
In the first two games of this best-of-seven, first round series, Tracy McGrady has only scored ONE POINT total in the fourth quarter of the first two games played in Houston, Texas. T-Mac sure snapped out of it at the right time.
Rockets guard Rafer Alston made his way back to the Rockets lineup at the right time as well, scoring 20 points and dishing out five assists to fill the void the Rockets were having at the point-guard spot while he was out for almost…

The 2008 NFL Draft is this Saturday Football Fans and the Miami Dolphins have the No.1 Draft Pick
Friday, April 25th, 2008
The future is here.
The 2008 NFL Draft on Saturday is all set as the Miami Dolphins signed former Michigan left tackle Jake Long as the NFL’s overall number 1 pick.
The Miami Dolphins signed the 315-pound left tackle to a five-year contract with $30 million guaranteed. Last year’s top pick, JaMarcus Russell, signed for $61 million with the Oakland Raiders but missed all of training camp before reaching a deal after the club’s first regular-season game.
Jake Long becomes the highest-paid lineman in the NFL and a 6-foot-7, 315-pound cornerstone in a rebuilding project for the new Miami Dolphins regime led by Bill Parcells. Last season, Miami went 1-15, with the offensive line becoming a chronic problem in recent years.
‘’Jake was our guy from the beginning,'’ general manager Jeff Ireland said. ‘’Jake Long was on the top of our board for a long time. There wasn’t a whole lot of debate. We thought it was a very good fit with the Miami Dolphins.'’
With many other needs as well, Miami Dolphins were interested in trading the top pick for multiple lower choices. When no suitors surfaced, they began negotiations last week with Long’s agent, Tom Condon.
‘’It’s such a great honor to be the No. 1 pick,'’ Jake Long said. ‘’I don’t think it has sunk in yet. It’s something every kid dreams about. I’m just real excited that it happened. Now I’m coming to a great place.'’
Jake Long started 40 games at Michigan and was Big Ten offensive lineman of the year in 2006 and 2007. Jake Long finished second to…

Can the Rockets do the impossible and beat the Jazz?
Thursday, April 24th, 2008
THE IMPOSSIBLE. That’s exactly what the Rockets are facing in Game 3 against the Jazz.
Time is running out for Tracy McGrady and the rest of the Houston Rockets in the 2008 NBA playoffs. The Rockets already lost homecourt advantage, losing the first two games in Houston to go down 0-2 in this first round best-of-seven series with the Jazz. And mind you, it doesn’t get any easier one bit.
You see, the Houston Rockets will be facing the Jazz at the EnergySolutions Arena in Salt Lake City, Utah for games 3 and 4. That’s bad news considering that the Rockets have to beat this team in Utah, where the Jazz are simply… UNBEATABLE. And as if that wasn’t enough, the Rockets are down 0-2 which means they have to win one in Utah just to avoid getting swept.
The Utah Jazz have the
best win-loss record at home this season. They are a ridiculous 37-4 at home, making the EnergSolutions Arena the very place most NBA teams don’t want to play at.
Despite that, Houston Rockets star Tracy McGrady, still looking to improve his miserable 0-6 record in the playoffs and finally advance to the second round for the first time in his NBA career, remains optimistic.
‘’If I try to sit back and try to be passive and not as aggressive, I don’t quite know what that is going to get us,'’ Tracy McGrady said after Game 2. ‘’I tried that the first game, and it didn’t work. I tried a different approach, coming out and being…'’
