Hmm… Probably just one of Calvin’s antics in making us think there’s something new with NewBodog.

Except from the somewhat very straightforward new name of the ‘’sportsbook formerly known as Bodog,'’ NewBodog is still the same online casino and sportsbook operated by that one guy who we are really REALLY tired of but can’t seem to get rid off, Calvin Ayre.

In case you didn’t know, Bodog a.k.a. NewBodog, is an online casino and sportsbook founded by Calvin Ayre that aims to bamboozle you of yer own mon… er… I mean, give you the best online betting experience there is today.

Yep, no kidding. So why the change from the acceptable ‘’Bodog'’ moniker to the somewhat ridiculous ‘’NewBodog'’ tag? Apparently, Calvin Ayre got into some sort of legal dispute over the ownership of the Bodog.com domain name.

According to Mr. Ayre, they are currently fighting this dispute and they are confident that they will be stuck with the moniker NewBodog, for a fucking long time. He he… No seriously, these morons are confident that they can win this…

Yep, we’ve been seeing ‘’Da Donald'’ a lot lately huh?

Just when you thought the whole ‘’Donald Trump vs Rosie O’Donnell shit'’ was… well… the shit, Donald Trump apparently is now challenging sports entertainment icon and owner of the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Vincent Kennedy McMahon to a match at WrestleMania 23.

Now, we wouldn’t be writing about pro wrestling matches here in OddJack on a regular basis (not yet anyway…) but this little match between Vinnie Mac and Da Donald sure deserves the mention.

Hell, it’s not everyday you’ll see two rich old farts, both having ridiculous haircuts, settling their differences inside a WWE ring.

AND YEAH… Speaking of those two ridiculous haircuts, Donald Trump challenged Vince McMahon in one episode of the WWE’s flagship brand, Monday Night RAW, to a hair vs. hair match.

For all ya’ll unfamiliar with pro wrestling language, a hair vs. hair match is a wrestling match with a stipulation wherein the loser gets his hair shaved bald right there in the ring.

Yep, we will definitely see either…

David Coulthard sure feels like it, and if Red Bull falls flat on their asses once again, it won’t be his fault.

That’s what he’s saying anyway. Well, not exactly but it sure sounds like it. ‘’We have to achieve more, otherwise people will have to be replaced,'’ said the feisty Scotland driver, David Coulthard.

David Coulthard is one of the best drivers in the history of F1 racing. But the David Coulthard we see now is nowhere in comparison to the David Coulthard we saw back in the day, when he was this cocky apprentice to the legendary Mika Hakkinen, both driving then for McLaren Mercedes.

Back in those days, Coulthard was learning from one of the, if not the best, in the business. As Mika Hakkinen were going toe to toe with Ferrari and their German ace driver, Michael Schumacher (without a shadow of a doubt, the best years of Formula One racing…) David Coulthard was patiently waiting, waiting for his turn to take the mantle Mika will leave for him.

When Mika Hakkinen finally called it quits, David Coulthard resumed McLaren’s classic rivalry with Ferrari. Coulthard made life difficult for Schumi for a while but the legendary Ferrari star was simply more experienced and…

What happens in Las Vegas stays in Las Vegas right?

Well, what if the NBA All Star Game happens in Las Vegas, will it stay there? Can we see a professional NBA basketball team from Las Vegas after hosting it’s first NBA All Star weekend? Hmm… this year’s hosts sure hope so.

February 18 is the NBA All Star game, following NBA All Star Saturday that will feature the three-point shootout and the slam dunk contest just to name a few. Oh yeah, it’s shaping up to be one heckuva’ weekend all right.

An event as big as this, the city of Las Vegas definitely wants its own NBA Basketball team now. However, sending a team to Las Vegas would require NBA commissioner David Stern to change his stance on gambling. He was quite clear on the subject last year, ‘’We are not going to go there while they have betting on NBA games.'’

Uh oh… As far as I know, Las Vegas and betting is like milk and cookies, bread and butter, panties and… well, you get the idea.

‘’I guess all I’d say is that we’ve been having these discussions now for somewhere over 20 years,'’ NBA Commissioner David Stern said. ‘’But on the other hand, our owners are the ones that ultimately…'’

Yep, it seems this guy is having too much beer lately.

Daisuke Matsuzaka has yet to throw his very first curve ball for the Boston Red Sox and yet, he has already raised a couple of eyebrows within the organization. Apparently, this guy is downing too much beer lately, and the Red Sox organization watched him drinking all them beers on TV.

A slick commercial for Asahi ‘’Super'’ Dry beer features Boston’s new Japanese pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka donning a Red Sox jersey and throwing in full uniform in front of a simulated frenzied throng.

In between those shots, the same Daisuke Matsuzaka, in street clothes, is shown first taking a couple of gulps from a large glass of beer. After a quick cut, the shot returns to Matsuzaka downing the beer and, with foam on his lips, smiling and sighing contentedly.

Nice. But we all saw that with the ‘’Got Milk?'’ campaign already… ANYWAY…

Sports athletes drinking beer in TV advertisements is normal in Japan, but in the United States, it’s a big NO NO. In the United States, beer can’t be consumed in TV ads and Major League Baseball (MLB) teams does not allow any of its players endorsing any kind of…

I guess virtually EVERYBODY is ready for Super Bowl XLI now eh?

Hooters, along with Leroy’s Race & Sports Book and ISI, Ltd. are preparing Hooters Casino Hotel patrons for the biggest game in all of American Sports.

Officials from each camp have announced that their sports gaming kiosks are now on the gaming floor of the Hooters hotel to offer bettors faster and more convenient ways to place wagers on the Chicago Bears or the Indianapolis Colts.

A photo of Michelle Nunes, Ms. Hooters International, displayed on two orange iSports Stands along with a blackjack dealer at the Hooters Casino Hotel are the first specifically designed kiosks in Las Vegas.

These stands are expected to be buzzing once the Indianapolis Colts and the Chicago Bears take the field on Feb.4 at Dolphin Stadium in Miami, Florida. The biggest game of the year, lots of booze, butt-loads of cash, and Hooters? Jeez… This Sunday’s game will definitely be something indeed.

‘’Hooters is a unique, world-famous brand with a very loyal following,'’ said Bill Stearns, president of ISI. ‘’We designed the kiosks to attract curious guests to take a look and try this new technology. It’s very simple to place bets, and the kiosk can be open practically 24 hours.'’

OR ‘’We designed the kiosks to pry some money away from the mindless horny male…'’

Okay okay, we are about a week and a couple of days away from Super Bowl XLI so for the meantime, let’s talk about something else.

How about female celebrities? Let’s do one better, how about the richest female celebrities in the entertainment industry. Okay, now that my cheap way of introducing this one is finally over, let’s go on with it then.

Oprah Winfrey. Surprise surprise, Oprah wins the no.1 slot as far as richest female celebrities are concerned. From a poor and raped little girl in rural Mississippi, this (as J.J. Jack puts it) mutated freak is now the richest woman in Hollywood. Heck, she’s the ONLY black female billionaire.

Yes, she has more money than Missy Elliot.

In the late 1980s, following the debut of her super-successful syndicated talk show, Oprah earned $2 million a year. Today, she pockets an estimated $225 million annually from TV and other endeavors.

Next in our list, we have that irritating singer, Celine Dion. As much as we like to see Kate Winslet wet, Celine Dion’s singing just destroys the moment. Well, as annoying as she sounds when she screams, she’s rich. Filthy too. The Canadian chanteuse’s exclusive five-year gig at Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas has vaulted her into Forbes’ list of richest female celebrities and until people continues to buy albums of her screaming…

Yep, Busta Rhymes and all that ‘’Pimp My Ride'’ crap ain’t got shit on this one.

The 2007 Detroit Auto Show featured high-end rides from Lexus, BMW, Cadillac and Rolls-Royce. Yep, no Honda Civics or broken down Toyotas here. Adding to an already fantastic lineup, the show also featured futuristic prototypes from Acura, Jaguar (eww…), Lexus (again?), Mercedes and Volvo (boring…).

A Chinese car did made the event, just like last year when the same Chinese ride made its first-ever appearance in an event that virtually laughs at these scrap metal from Hyundai, Daewoo and (god…) Daihatsu.

The Geely CK is what Chinese automaker Changfeng is calling their ride. Changfeng’s display at this year’s show is just as big a deal because it shows remarkable development. The Geely was an oddity; the Changfeng stand, with five small SUVs and pickups, is significant.

However, the highlight of the show was perhaps those kick-ass futuristic hybrids. Take General Motors for example, the company was kind enough to include the new Rolls convertible and a stunning, sophisticated propulsion system of the future that General Motors is…

Sirius-ly.

Yep, Howard Stern, one of radio’s biggest stars despite being slapped time and time again by government indecency regulations, was paid a whopping $83 million bonus by his mother radio station, Sirius Satellite Radio.

According to Sirius Radio, Stern apparently ‘’earned'’ this kind of money for surpassing subscriber goals set in a 2004 contract that had already turned heads with its $500 million compensation package.

Howard Stern joined Sirius Satellite Radio about a year ago from FM radio where he established himself as the degenerate radio show host that he is today.

‘’The decision to bring Howard Stern to Sirius required a very significant commitment and we are very pleased that our investment has dramatically paid off,'’ Sirius Chief Executive Mel Karmazin said in a statement.

Sirius had about 600,000 subscribers when they first signed Stern back in ‘04 for a contract valued at $500 million for over five years. Back then, analysts expects Sirius to have its subscribers share grow to about 3.5 million by the end of…

Well, I don’t know how much these Stanley Cup rings will go in the market but apparently, someone’s selling them.

Yep, apparently, Darren McCarty of the Calgary Flames is willing to sell his three Stanley Cup rings he won playing NHL Hockey. Quite sad ain’t it? Well, you gotta’ give the guy a break. He NEEDS the money being bankrupt and all.

Darren McCarty filed for bankruptcy after his role with his NHL Hockey team diminished. And yeah, as we all know in the world of sports, once your role starts to decrease, so too will your income.

McCarty will sell three rings he won with the Detroit Red Wings along with two replica Stanley Cup trophies, jerseys, photos and other items, including a Corvette and nine televisions.

Darren McCarty listed assets of $1.9 million and debts of $6.2 million in his bankruptcy filing. McCarty listed debts to banks, credit card companies, friends, utilities, law firms and at least $185,000 to casinos in Detroit and Las Vegas. At the time, McCarty said…
