Yep, the Atlanta Falcons, the same team Michael Vick led to all those… um… pathetic NFL seasons, doesn’t want anything to do with him.

Well, the Atlanta Falcons doesn’t have much of a choice anyway after NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell ordered Michael Vick to stay away from the Falcons training camp until the league reviews all those dogfighting allegations charged against the troubled Falcons quarterback.

In a letter from NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell addressed to Michael Vick, Goodell wrote, ‘’While it is for the criminal justice system to determine your guilt or innocence, it is my responsibility as commissioner of the National Football League to determine whether your conduct, even if not criminal, nonetheless violated league policies, including the Personal Conduct Policy.'’

And yes, it does sound like a press release justifying Vick’s hopefully temporary banishment from the Atlanta Falcons camp.

Also according to the commish, Michael Vick would still get preseason pay, whether he plays or not. And yep, he’s also asking the Atlanta Falcons organization to withhold any disciplinary action of their own until the NFL is done with the dogfighting investigation.

Michael Vick is not the only one getting fucked up by these…

These days, NBA Commish David Stern can only wish he had MLB’s steroid issues or NFL’s Michael Vick instead.

Yep, with news about NBA referee Tim Donaghy being investigated by the FBI for betting on the games he officiates now out of the open, NBA Commissioner David Stern is probably fucked, thinking how in the hell can he save the damn league now.

With all the problems the NBA has gotten itself into the past few years, (e.g. Pistons-Pacers brawl, the JAILBIRD Blazers, Ron Artest and Tim Hardaway’s anti-gay slur, not to mention John Amaechi being gay…) this entire ‘’NBA Ref bets on games'’ thing is by far the one that could destroy the damn league for good.

Think about it, every single time say, Rasheed Wallace, argues a call, ‘Sheed can ask, ‘’What’s the matter with you ref? How much did you wager on this game anyway?!?'’ It’s going to be crazy once the brand new 2007-08 NBA basketball season gets here folks and that’s all thanks to NBA referee Tim Donaghy.

Tim Donaghy, one of NBA Commissioner David Stern’s referees, officiated NBA games for 13 seasons before resigning two weeks ago. (Probably because…)

Apparently, some people have and no, they didn’t got rich… YET anyway.

Denver Nuggets star Allen Iverson is being sued by two guys for a whopping $20 million after being accused of taking part in a 2005 nightclub brawl in Washington. Iverson denies the allegations and claim his accusers just wanna’ ‘’get rich overnight.'’

‘’I think I’m here because I worked hard all my life to get where I’m at and they want to get rich overnight,'’ Allen Iverson said.

The two guys suing Iverson claim that the NBA star’s bodyguard, including other members of his entourage, attacked them when they wouldn’t immediately make room for the Denver Nuggets star in the VIP section of the Eyebar. (Yep, that place is now an instant HOT SPOT after being mentioned here at OddJack…)

Allen Iverson is accused of failing to supervise his entourage at the Eyebar club last July 20, 2005. Iverson was dressed in an oversize light blue jacket, baggy pants and white sneakers during the incident although I don’t know what…

Well, one of them anyway.

Alvin Henry, once a member of the Trinidad and Tobago 400-meter relay team at the 2000 Sydney Olympics, confessed that he raped four women and a teenage girl during a four-year period after stalking them in New York City parks. The confession followed after he was arrested over the weekend.

The former Olympic sprinter was arrested Sunday near Prospect Park in Brooklyn by police after matching Henry to a composite sketch of a rape suspect.

Alvin Henry, now 30 years of age, was arrested on charges of rape, sexual misconduct and sexual abuse. His arrest came after he tried to rape a 34-year-old woman last June 15.

The secretary general of the Trinidad and Tobago Olympic Committee, Brian Lewis, confirmed that the arrested Alvin Henry is the same Alvin Henry who represented their country in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.

I guess they won’t be calling this guy for the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games huh?

‘’There’s no denying that,'’ Brian Lewis said. He also added that Henry represented Trinidad and Tobago in other races. Lewis said he didn’t know what Henry was doing in the United States, especially in a dump like Queens.

‘’He stopped running a couple of years ago,'’ Lewis said. ‘’He just…'’

7-Eleven Kwik-E-Marts? Now that’s originality if I ever saw one.

Yep, with the month of July already here and the celebration of the United States’ Independence Day draws near, 7-Elevens across the country are turning into these fictional Kwik-E-Marts made famous by the cartoon TV series, ‘’The Simpsons.'’ (Hey, at least July ain’t about another Will Smith-alien movie right?)

Apparently, these 7-Elevens decided to turn into real-life Kwik-E-Marts in preparation for the grand opening of ‘’The Simpsons Movie'’ on July 27. (And in case you didn’t get it, it has no connection whatsoever with the celebration of July 4 on Wednesday…)

He he… It seems this new Simpsons movie is more important than the United States’ Independence Day huh? He he… Well, Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa and Maggie did made all of us laugh so I guess paying homage to those guys THIS WAY is reasonable enough.

The 6,000-plus 7-Elevens in North America will sell items that until now existed only on the Simpsons cartoon; Buzz Cola, KrustyO’s cereal and Squishees, the slushy drink knockoff of Slurpees.

‘’We thought if you really want to do something different, the idea of actually changing…'’

If there’s really one anyway.

With Spanish La Liga and English Premiership stars like David Beckham joining the MLS soccer league in the United States, the thought of having one MLS team in Las Vegas are just driving some Vegas locals crazy.

A thread in one major soccer website entitled, ‘’Las Vegas MLS plan ($35 Million on the Table)'’ became one of the most popular threads in the said soccer website. It drew 386 posts and attracted around 16,000 views, all probably coming from people living in Las Vegas.

‘’The city is twice the size of Salt Lake City, and it’s expected to pass Denver by 2010,'’ writes monster (obviously NOT his real name…) from Hanover, Pa. ‘’That’s not counting tourists. It’s not a slam dunk, but it’s not dire, either.'’

Apparently, Las Vegas locals have been longing for one MLS soccer team in their hometown that they already have nicknames for the new club. Some of the nicknames being tossed around include FC Vegas, Red Devils, Las Vegas Aces (ewww…) and my personal favorite, Sin City FC.

Others even have designs for the Las Vegas soccer team’s uniform. Of course, there were also some…

It may not sound like a real sports championship to you. But as much as Nathan’s famous hot dog eating contest, held annually since 1916, is an Americana novelty, we should all remember that this undertaking was created out of deep patriotism.

And you thought it was just one of those crazy Fourth of July activities concocted by some drunk gluttons in the park.

So I’m thinking me and my friends ought to ho into Coney Islands this year and finally watch this hot dog eating spectacular. Yeah, haven’t seen one myself. Was content to see them on the tube because well, I pity those hot dogs. Really.

Mostly I’d like to see this Takeru Kobayashi guy who has held the record since 2001. People call his the Tsunami, probably exactly how the hotdogs feel that hit them once Kobayashi is through with them.

In the championship of 2006 alone, he downed 53 and 3/4 total of hotdogs, setting a new world record. The runner-up, California’s Joey Chestnut ate 52 hot dogs in 12 minutes.

Chesnut is posing to become Kobayashi’s nemesis for the second straight year. Because in the Southwest regional qualifiers for the 2007 Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, Chestnut shattered the world record by eating 59 1/2 hot dogs and buns in 12 minutes. Meaning it beats Kobayashi’s championship record the last time.

The odds are even for these…

Apparently, Nicholas Cage and Jay Leno will, just for that little thing we like to call ‘’ego.'’

Yep, CARS, more often than not, say a lot about it’s owner. You own a classic muscle car? Then you must be a classic American who cares about what’s inside the hood of a car than what’s ‘’ON'’ a car. You’re into tuner? Then you must be one of those silly little kids who like to race on the streets, thinking they’re the epitome of cool.

You own a Bugatti? Then THAT is a different story…

Bugatti has always been bigger than the Rolls-Royce, especially before the second World War. When the war ended, most of the Rolls Royce’s value plummeted down. As for the Bugatti? Surprisingly, it continued to go up like crazy.

Don’t believe me? These days, a 1930 Grand Prix Bugatti will have a price tag of nearly $1 million. How’s that for one solid proof? So if a classic Bugatti will cost you that much, how much would you think it will cost you trying to own a modern Bugatti machine?

It’s more than a million dollars.

The 16.4 Veyron Bugatti costs a whopping $1,250,000. Yep, such is the price for a life where pussies will simply come jumping on your…

For Dario Franchitti, of course it was.

As for the rest of us? Maybe it was, maybe it wasn’t but one thing was certain, the weather sure had a huge part in it.

Cloudy skies held the 91st Indianapolis 500 into a three-hour rain delay and a yellow flag ending 34 laps shy of the scheduled distance. It sure was a race full of hopeful drivers alright but jeezus… All I saw was a bunch of cars lining up in single file for ALMOST the entire time.

It didn’t help having all these cars collide with one another after the very instant the safety car comes off too.

But hey, with all that stuff happening, were we screwed of a classic race in the Indianapolis 500? Was the 91st offering of this annual racing extravaganza a goddamn joke compared to all those classic wars that happened at the Indianapolis racetrack in the past? Hmm… Maybe not. Here’s why.

Despite all the rain delays, the 91st Indianapolis 500 did have 24 lead changes among nine drivers over 166 laps, making it…

As their men spend time playing baccarat at the casinos, the women spend theirs learning to love their body and build confidence — through strip dancing.

No, this is not Vegas. It’s in Taiwan.

And there’s even a school here that will teach you all that. College students, young professionals, models and even middle-aged housewives attend the “How to Look and Feel Sexy Workshop” being conducted by a Sexual Energy School in Teipei.

With the very conservative Chinese culture, very few would think a thing like this can happen in this lifetime.

But these are the Taiwanese, they are the more liberated faction among the one or so billion Chinese. The Taiwanese comprise a big chunk of the ‘new rich’ and they are the high-rollers that flock to Vegas and Macau casinos spending millions in baccarat and black jack game.

Good news to pervs who now have a new sex fantasy aside from those Japanese pubescent girls in their micro-mini school uniforms.

It’s no big surprise that the women will bring home not only tons of…
