So I just saw the new Sports Illustrated cover featuring Sam Young, Gerald Henderson, Hasheem Thabeet, and Ty Lawson; among others. While it is classic, The Sporting News added one little feature to their version of the cover that makes it so much better.

Gatecrasher alerts us to a rumor is circulating about reality TV star Bethenny Frankel and Alex Rodriguez.

“Bethenny Frankel’s friends are talking about how the “Real Housewives of NYC” star allegedly bedded Alex Rodriguez. A spy overheard her pal dishing how “three months ago, all Bethenny could talk about was A-Rod,” along with a few intimate details we can’t print here. “But it’s not happening anymore,” the pal said. “A-Rod cut it off.”

Did he or didn’t he? Why am I so interested in this crap?

I will admit that “Real Housewives” is a guilty pleasure of mine. Such a LOSER!

So Amir and Streeter over at CollegeHumor have a back and forth prank war going that left off with Streeter getting slapped by his girlfriend at a Yankees game. Now it was time for revenge. And how sweet it was as Amir gets played hard at halftime of the Wake Forest and Maryland game. Now if only there MTV show was of this quality.

Yao Ming should know better than this. How are you going to tell a grown mascot to fight a bunch of elementary school kids? Although this does remind me of the site, howmanyfiveyearoldscouldyoutakeinafight.

It looks like Cristiano Ronaldo has fallen for someone from his home country of Portugal. The Sun reports,

“The Brazilian beauty, named only as Gabriela, 27, waved a poster of him at an international.

Ronaldo, 24, invited her to watch him play after meeting at a nightclub in Portugal.

Pals say she then jetted to England to spend a WEEK with the Manchester United star at his £4million home.

A friend of Gabriela – known as Gabi – said: “They’ve ended up dating. He’s fascinated by her athletic body. She says he’s attentive and romantic.”

Another pal said: “They’re a match made in heaven.

“Like Cristiano she never touches alcohol, and she’s as fit as she is beautiful.”

Gabi works at a gym in Sintra, near Lisbon.”

It seems like the short lived relationship between Ronaldo and Olivia Saunders is now over. That lasted a good couple weeks.

This guy is such a womanizer. I wonder if Brittney Spears has him in mind when she performs that song. Who’s got tickets to the Circus tour!

Last May, the internets were all atwitter when a minor league team in Canada traded one of its pitchers for 10 maple bats. That pitcher, John Odom, certainly understood the humor of the situation, and gladly took part in interviews to discuss the deal, able to laugh at himself along the way.

Now, he’s dead. The victim, according to a medical examiner in Georgia, of an accidental overdose. And it turns out, this story was never really that funny to begin with.

Not really by Greg Paulus, but it mocks him and other present and former Duke players. And since I have a hatred for all everything associated with the Blue Devils this fits in perfectly.

Would you believe the backwoods high school graduate with three kids who just got laid off from a factory job?  Or would you side with the Harvard and Yale educated medical doctor doing his residency at one of the most prestigious hospitals in New York?

Well, if the last decade of corporate malfeasance and political dirty trickery is any guide, an Ivy League education is no indication of ethical high ground.

What does the Super Bowl winning quarterback do to bring in his 27th birthday? If you are Ben Roethlisberger you grab your offensive lineman and head to Tao in Las Vegas. Golf star Anthony Kim also joined Roethlisberger’s table, which included teammates Willie Colon, Darnell Stapleton and Trai Essex. Looks like Big Ben stuck to the Voss instead of the Cristal.

Also for your enjoyment Chris at One for the Other Thumb decided to get into the celebration by photoshopping numerous pics of the birthday boy. I would have to say my favorite is Benjaya.
