Isiah Thomas has officially taken over as head basketball coach at Florida International University, which is seemingly somewhere in Florida. But, when he got there, he learned that the school was facing layoffs and cutbacks as it struggles through the economic downturn.

“Hey”, Isiah thought, “I’m stealing $12 million from the Knicks this year. I probably don’t need whatever crap salary this school is going to offer me.”

and so:

In the recent issue of Rolling Stone, Hulk Hogan gets candid in his interview about the relationship between Linda Bollea and her young boyfriend Charlie Hill (former classmate of daughter Brooke).

“I could have turned everything into a crime scene, like OJ, cutting everybody’s throat,”

“You live half a mile from the 20,000-square-foot home you can’t go to anymore, you’re driving through downtown Clearwater [Florida] and see a 19-year-old boy driving your Escalade, and you know that a 19-year-old boy is sleeping in your bed, with your wife…”

“I totally understand OJ. I get it.”

These aren’t things you want to say publically. Especially when your family has been in the spotlight for the wrong reasons over the last couple of years. Why can’t you just go back to bodyslamming Andre the Giant again. Those days were the tits.

Derek Jeter must have some magical powers. It seems like every woman he meets becomes infatuated with him. She could be famous or a plain Jane college student. Really doesn’t matter.

The only problem with that is when DJ leaves you, you are the one left holding the bag. As Gatecrasher reports:

“Derek Jeter can’t stop breaking hearts – his FIT college fling is still infatuated with the Yankee slugger. The student “does all her projects about him – or his gym, or his charity organizations,” laughed a classmate. “It’s pathetic.” Too bad the baseball hottie won’t return her calls anymore.”

Get over it! Have some self respect or just date me. Girls with low self esteem are right up my alley.

Payback is a female dog. Watch as Louis Amudson gets Shaquille O’Neal back for all the times he has stolen his bike. The foam peanuts trick is great and all, but it doesn’t have any lasting effects as say leaving buttered popcorn in someone’s car.

Shaq vows revenge. But he might be short on time as the season ends today.

This also brought back memories for “The Big Cactus,” as he wants payback for the time Ashton Kutcher got him on that horrendous show Punk’d. Please get him good and make him pay for putting out crappy movies like “My Boss’s Daughter.”

Last week, I gave you my impressions of the New Yankee Stadium. Well, here’s the first impressions of Citifield from one of the bigger Met fans to walk the Earth. (His fandom is quite large, he’s actually quite a well-proportioned gentleman.) 200 Miles From The Citi

Here is video of Tennessee head basketball coach Bruce Pearl rapping at the “Volscars” celebration — an ESPY-style award ceremony for University of Tennessee athletes. Mr. Vol loves to have fun and go without a shirt as much as possible.

Alex Rodriguez’s dating life continues to mirror his baseball season (I am strictly talking on a fame level). At first he started out with the Queen of Pop, then dated model Melissa Britos, and now ended on D-list celebrity Bethenny Frankel.

“The Yankees slugger has been stepping out this weekend in Miami with Bethenny Frankel, one of the reality stars of “The Real Housewives of New York City.”

Alex Rodriguez and the sexy chef shared an intimate dinner on Friday night at a local restaurant, a spy tells the Daily News.

Rodriguez dropped off Frankel at the Fontainebleau Hotel around 12:30 a.m. Saturday.”

Fame is the name of this man’s dating game. No late nights for Alex, he has to watch that hip.

In my opinion, the girl he should date is the one I have posted after the jump. It would be the talk of the world. And make Derek Jeter extremely jealous.

You know it has to be bad when the MGM and Greektown casinos decide to ban Allen Iverson. With the amount of money he is known to lose there, his actions must be atrocious. As the Detroit News points out.

“The NBA is looking into a disturbance at Greektown that involved one of Iverson’s body guards. Iverson may have been trying to act as a peacemaker but his body guard was involved in some kind of tussle.

Iverson, though, has been banned mostly for his boorish behavior. He is a bad loser, and he loses a lot, often throwing his chips or cards at the dealer. He has been warned about improper behavior at the tables repeatedly. He is often loud and disruptive, according to witnesses, rude to dealers, other players and the wait staff.

Earlier this season, Iverson caused a disturbance at a casino outside of Minneapolis. He’s also earned a bad reputation at Atlantic City.”

This is not looking good for me. I once had a dream that I played craps with Allen Iverson in an Atlantic City casino. Yes, this is what my dreams are made of. Some people might consider this a problem. I consider it fun!

Former Yankees ace Chien Ming Wang hasn’t looked himself since recovering from his foot injury. After getting shelled early and taxing the pen in a 15-5 blowout, Joe Girardi gave the ball to Yankee spark-plug Nick Swisher, turning what would have otherwise been a miserable game into a hilarious spectacle.

Swisher, who came into this season without a starting position due to a logjam in the outfield, has been one of the biggest contributors to the team so far this season, with a gaudy .450avg 3hr 10rbi and only 20 at bats. Now Swisher found a different way to contribute by taking the mound and throwing some ugly pitches for the bombed bombers.

Sadly Swisher was the best pitcher on the night with a line of 1.0ip 1h 1bb and the best part is he actually struck out former Boston meathead Gabe Kapler. After his strikeout, he was laughing on the mound and he could be seen telling Molina to save the ball. How can you not love this guy? Girardi needs to find a way to get this guy to play every day. It doesn’t matter what position he plays, even if it means pitching.

Update: we have the full video of Swisher throwing after the jump! Continue Reading

Remember when you were little and you looked for those colorful plastic eggs. What was hidden in those anyways?

Tony Hawk decided to step that hunt up by hiding autographed skateboard decks across the world (Australia and Ireland being just 2 of the locations).

And how else would he track who found it other than the new social networking craze of Twitter. Really cool idea and a great way to thank your fans.

After the jump is video of six decks being hidden in sunny California.
