Yet another Bush implicated.

Sources told Yahoo! Sports that audio recordings that allegedly establish an improper financial relationship between former USC running back Reggie Bush and a would-be sports marketing agent were played for NCAA investigators this week.

Lloyd Lake and San Diego businessman Michael Michaels were partners in New Era Sports & Entertainment, which they claim Bush agreed to join while playing for the Trojans. Bush later reneged, Lake and Michaels said, after he and his parents were provided with rent-free living in a new home, money for a car and payment of credit card debt.

The allegations against Bush, who now plays for the Saints, could bring NCAA sanctions against USC.

I'm really sure at some point from the time Reggie awoke on top of his mattress stuffed with $100 bills, chased the 6 naked super models from his house, made his protein smoothie, admired himself in the mirror for 4 hours, and then chuckled to himself because he is Reggie Bush, he actually thought about these allegations....and did not care.

What I find to be shocking aren't these allegations, but that Reggie actually dated super-whore Kim Kardashian. Reggie, you where the toast of LA sports for 2 years and can do much better than that skank. I'm not sure, you'd think 10 pounds of clown make-up, a sex-tape, and a toxic vagina that would scare even those who don't fear death away. Well, that's just me I guess...and we all know I only come down from my pedestal every fortnight to pluck a young beauty and give her the most forgettable 3 minutes of her life.

No you lock it up....

The Million Dollar Man is here to bail you out after you laid the 26 points to Gardner Webb at the Wildcats and lost. That's right, John Anthony is back, with his Smart money pick of the week. Sunday, you will have pocket Aces as the big blind as it's all in the "Cards". Don't get fooled, you may not see Tommy Herr or Willie McGee around anywhere, but these RedBirds will be giving their opponent the Motor City Blues. The "Edge" is with the home cherpers, and this one may get ugly early. Neil Lomax, Adrian Murrell, Chuck Cecil, and Freddie Jones, represent, The dry zona' puts a major league hurting on this year's version of the 1999 St. Louis Rams.....

Gardner-Webb is a National Championship contender.......not really.

The winningest program in college basketball history, the 20th ranked Kentucky Wildcats, were shocked at home by the exact opposite of a powerhouse, Gardner-Webb, 84-68.

Despite playing in the friendly confines of their home court, Rupp Arena, Kentucky never had control of this game and found themselves down 14-0 just 4 minutes in. This is the first regular season loss by Kentucky to a mid-major since 2001 when they lost their season opener to Western Kentucky. The Wildcats had lost to UAB in the first round of the NCAA tourney in 2004.

Basically, Kentucky only loses to top-ranked teams from other major conferences (ACC, Big East, Big 10, etc.) or within their own conference, the SEC. That is quite impressive, so I can imagine the state of shock those rednecks must be in. The wintermint flavored Skoal is just a little less wintery. The warm beer isn't going down as smooth. Lynchings aren't as cheery as they were the day before the game. My concern in with Kentucky's #1 fan Ashley Judd. I think she needs consoling from an incredibly masculine and charming Northerner like myself.

Tennis is cut throat.

The International Tennis Federation is investigating allegations that Tommy Haas, ranked 13th in the world, was poisoned before Germany's Davis Cup match against Russia. Haas was had to retire from his match against Mikhail Youzhny (yeah, that guy) with a suspected stomach virus. Russia won both singles matches on Sept. 23, and won the semifinal match-up 3-2 to reach the Davis Cup final.

"We take this very seriously," ITF spokeswoman Barbara Travers said Wednesday. "The investigation starts today."

"I'm shocked that something like that appears possible. When I think of how bad I felt, I can imagine it. I've been feeling weak for weeks.," said Tommy Haas who is on his way to the US to get a complete check-up.

Okay, so what the eff is this about? What's next? The Swiss and the Australians having a knife fight accompanied by song and dance? No, the French and the Spainards get into a slap fight, first one to bruise wins!!! Oh, why a picture of Anna Kornikova? Do you want to see a picture of Tommy Haas?

The Hot Stove is heating up......

The one aspect of a sport's annual cycle that baseball has a firm grasp on is the off-season. Outside of a few marquee football match-ups, and a few late season pennant races, and of course the Super Bowl, there's very little else in sports that can be as exciting as the Baseball Hot Stove.
A-Rod is the big fish this off-season regarding free agents. Johan Santana & Miguel Carbrera are the big names on the trading block. Other names that could/will make headlines; Barry Bonds, Jorge Posada, Mo Rivera, and some mid-level Catcher that will make 3X what he is worth.

What a great career choice. Peak at 29, and get paid $12+ million a year for what you did in the past, not for what you should be doing in the future. Not to mention the carte-blanche adultery. Okay, I really have nothing else to say regarding the "Hot Stove", I just had this picture of this well endowed woman on a stove, and needed a way to use it. Enjoy your day......

Don Shula is cranky.

Earlier in the week, when speaking about the undefeated Patriots, Don Shula said "(The NFL's punishments) tells you the seriousness or significance of what they found. I guess you got the same thing as putting an asterisk by Barry Bonds' home run record."

It seems that Mr. Shula is pretty convinced that the Patriots have a significant shot at going undefeated, and wants to get an early jab in, as to protect his 1972 undefeated team and it's standing amongst the greatest of all time.

Well, somebody needs to change their adult diaper. Don Shula coached for over 30 years in the NFL and has clung to that undefeated 1972 season for over 20 years. I imagine Shula went to bed around 5:45, somewhere in the mid-2nd Q, thinking his undefeated season was safe, only to awake to urinate for the 10th time that evening and find out that the Pats pulled out the win. He must have been so grumpy that morning, the nurses probably had to pry open his mouth to feed him his mashed peas and dehydrated milk. Old people can be so annoying at times.

Play like a 1 win team, oh I mean Champion today.....A Rant from an Irish fan.

Oh how the mighty gold has become oh so tarnished this college football season. The once proud Fighting Irish have officially fallen to the levels of UB Bulls, SU Orangemen and Iowa State Cyclones.

Folks the Irish are just plain bad. And with absolutely no excuse! A 1-8 record is acceptable at a school where football is the warm up for college basketball but not at the Universtiy of Notre Dame. And who is to blame? Well Charlie, let's step to the plate. Weiss has done a magnificent job up to this point complimenting the awe-inspiring play of every oppenent the mighty Irish have faced this year. By the looks of Weiss during his press conferences you would think that they finished last year battling through the likes of Hofstra and William & Mary.

The harsh reality is that Wiess has done an awful job of holding himself and his players accountable. I guess the teams listed on the schedule did not get the memo that they were playing the mighty Notre Dame, coached by the great Charlie Wiess. Notre Dame has played uninspired and lifeless football with a bunch of primidonna players. Giving up over 40 points to a bunch of guys that will have career in Military while running the most primitive of all offenses the power I and wing T is humiliating. I believe most high schools run a more complicated offense in comparison to the midshipmen. Currently Wiess and his staff are holding 3 players on Defense likely to be gone on the first day of the draft (Laws, Zibakowski and Crum) has to be a direct reflection on coaching or lack there of.

So Mr. Weiss, here is my plea; Can we please find roughly 30 players that are willing to leave their High School entourage at the door and realize that they start in South bend with a "what have done for me lately" mentality. By the way has anyone scene what a great job Ty Willingham has done at Washington with a young quarterback. If stats can tell a story, here we go: Wiess (1-8) Willingham (3-6), Clausen (ND) (7 games) (-138 rushing) thats correct he has a minus in front of the number, that means he is on his back because of Poor O-line play, (618 Passing) and a whopping total of 68.6 yards per game. Jake locker (8 games) (791 rushing) (1680 Passing) and a total of 274 yards per game. So who is the quarterbacks Guru?

Note from Lee: Charlie Weis has a weird crotch-stomach thing going on, it's very 80-year-old-woman. As for as Jimmy Clausen, who let the Dousch-Bag out of the house.....calm it down killah, you look like you just drank an O.E., date raped a 15 year old, all while rapping a Lil' Wayne song to yourself. The hair says it all....class act all the way.

900 King Strikes Again

Hopefully all of you knuckleheads went with the Million Dollar Man yesterday and loaded up on the "Six - Kings". John Anthony roasting your bookie and padding your purses, yet again. LT was "bolted" to the turf as A-Pet ran loose for 296. Smarten Up kiddies, when the 900 King brings the heat, you better ride the wave. I know the teams better than the teams know themselves.

Tom Brady is better than you.

The New England Patriots beat the Indianapolis Colts by the scored of 24-20, by way of two late 4th quarter Tom Brady TD passes. The win keeps the Patriots (9-0) on course for the NFL's first unbeaten season since Miami did it 1972 and gives them the first tiebreaker over Indianapolis (7-1) in the AFC playoffs.
"This is the first time we were in a ballgame late, there wasn't any loss of confidence or determination." said Patriot QB Tom Brady. This was the first game of the season that the Patriots had trailed in the fourth quarter. They have beaten its previous eight opponents by an average of 25 points a game.

And yet another shining moment in the world of Tom Brady. So let's see, 3 Super Bowl rings, a Super Bowl MVP, and bangs hot women like it's in his contract. I wouldn't be surprised if Tom Brady's hair can cure cancer. Seriously though, at what point does Brady officially become a deity? I need to know because I have to clear some time in my incredibly hectic schedule to bow down and pray. I'm not sure what's more impressive, the Super Bowl rings on his fingers or the stench of super-model on his fingers.
