Crazy World of Sports Entertainment--Send In The Clowns!!

Here all this time I thought it was gonna be a boring winter.  I should have known better.  Especially as athletes aren't just for sports anymore, they are entertainers, or they think they are. 

Here's a list of a few hits and misses and what were they doing that kept me from going totally insane this winter.

First up, from what I have recently read, Michael Vick could be released to home confinement sometime in May and have to pay the Falcons approx 6.5 million dollars as part of his bankruptcy case.  I'm telling ya'll I'm SICK of hearing about all this. 

I love animals and yes what he did was wrong but they were dogs!!  He should've had to pay fines to the feds., state, and the NFL and then let that boy play ball. 

He has been crucified but does anyone really believe Plaxico Burress is going to do time for his 2nd degree felony?? Be honest!!

Especially with the Giants losing four of their five final games without him?? The club has left the door open for him as soon as his legal woes are settled.  He could have killed somebody, Vick killed some dogs.  Go figure. 

But then again we live in a nation where 5000 unborn babies die a day so maybe it's not so strange. 

Then there's Philadelphia Eagles receiver Hank Baskett who is set to marry one of Hugh Hefner's former rabbits, Kendra Wilkinson, in June.  Ms almost Baskett wants her claim to fame to be her own line of stripper poles. 

Question--Is she gonna do a TD celebration on the goal posts?

Shaq gave Robin Lopez some advice, "Dude cut your hair!" 

Nah, that's what I said.  Shaq told him to be a big man and don't let anybody oopsy-doopsy, (was that Elvish?), lay up on you.  I've never been dunked on!! 

Oh mighty Shaq, I beg to differ!!  His name is Jordan.  Michael Jordan.  I've seen this!

Oh and on a more personal note, I've finally given up on seeing The Rock in speedos.  I will keep watching his movies though cause you never know. 

A little closer to home is Bobby Massie telling a tale, being a tail himself and saying that Coach Saban told him that if he didn't choose Alabama, then Coach would turn him in to the NCAA because nobody would give up a chance to start at Alabama unless they were doing something illegal.  Does anyone other than me have problems believing this tale/tail?

In all seriousness my thoughts and prayers continue to be with the family and friends of Marquis Cooper, Corey Smith and William Bleakley.  I wish Nick Schuyler all the best.

And last but not least, we have Jose Canseco and A-Rod.  Now we all know that Jose wrote that lil book aptly named "Juiced" because he was/is, (who cares?), broke. 

Those divorces you know.  Jose, some women don't like you beating on them and they will leave you and take everything! 

Anyway, he named names of 'roid users and A-Rod was among them. 

Well, A-Rod denies and denies then finally with a lil "Justify my Love" from Madonna, he admits to using from 2001-2003.  He remembers dates now!!  I can't decide which is worse--using Roids or Madonna!!!  Hey, A-Rod, both of them are BAD for you!!

So there they area few of the entertaining stories that kept me giggling and some that made me glad I'm not in the entertainment industy.  I mean Sports industry.
