I wonder if the precedent set when Michael Buffer controlled the use of "Let's Get Ready to Rumble" will be cited in this case.

Frivolous Lawsuits Are Hot
Paris Hilton is suing Hallmark because the company used her face and catchphrase "that's hot" (which she trademarked) on a greeting card. She's suing for $100,000 in damages and sales of the cards.
She claims this is unauthorized commercial use of her name, likeness and trademark.

This is Why Hooters Has Their Own Airline
Slutty 23 year old college student Kyla Ebbert was almost kicked off a Southwest Airlines flight due to her inappropriate dress.
This is the outfit she claims she was wearing on the flight (I guarantee she wasn't wearing this sweater):
Southwest asked her to go home and change clothes and take a later flight but she talked her way onto the plane after agreeing to pull up her shirt and pull down her skirt.
Ebbert told her story to Matt Lauer on the Today show and she stood up to show off the offending outfit. When she sat back down the camera got a great shot right up her skirt (but she was wearing panties), which was edited out when the interview reaired in a later hour.
Ebbert works at Hooters and has huge fake tits.

America's Sweettits, I Mean Sweetheart
The star of High School Musical, Vanessa Hudgens is not quite living up to her Disney Channel image. The tawdry teenager who is dating her love interest (Zac Efron) from the movie took a nude photo of herself which of course surfaced on the internet. The picture - NSFW doesn't seem like a professional job, just like she was fooling around with someone who sold her out.
A couple of things I noticed, first, she favors a bush, which goes against what most of Hollywood's hot young sluts are doing -- which is going bare down there. Second she is not even 19 yet so unless this picture was taken very recently, this picture may technically qualify as child porn.

NFL Season Predictions
Some fantasy, some straight football, here are my thoughts:
1) Marshawn Lynch will be a top 10 fantasy running back.
2) Lee Evans will have at least one 200 yard game this season.
3) The Colts will see a major dropoff this year. They might not even make the playoffs. They lost too many good defensive players.
4) The Detroit Lions will have an exciting offense (1,000 yard RB, 1,000 yard WR & 3,000 yard QB) but they'll still suck.
5) Stephen Jackson will fall well short of 2,500 total yards and 20 TDs.
6) Drew Bennett will have a better season for the Rams than Isaac Bruce.
7) Adrian Peterson will be the offensive rookie of the year.
8) The Falcons will win fewer games than the Raiders.
9) First and last in the NFC East will be separated by 3 games or fewer.
10) Andre Johnson will have 1,500 yards and 10 TDs.
11) Vince Young will continue to make strides but lack of a running game will keep Tennessee to 7 to 9 wins.
12) Matt Leinart will also have an excellent statistical season (3,000 yards, 2:1 TD to INT ratio), but the Cardinals will miss the playoffs.
13) There is only one reason the Chargers won't win the Super Bowl, Norv Turner. But because I think they are so good and so ready after last year's disappointment, I think they will win the Super Bowl in spite of Norv.
14) The Bears will not make it back to the Super Bowl because I don't think Grossman will solve his turnover problems.
15) Tampa Bay will be much improved with Jeff Garcia who is steady and Cadillac Williams who will have a good bounceback season after his sophomore jinx.
16) Seattle will represent the NFC in the Super Bowl again. Side note: in the NFL, NBA and MLB there is a major imbalance between the two leagues/conferences to the point that at least 3 teams from one league/conference are better than any from the other side.
17) The Patriots will play the Chargers in the playoffs again, this year it will be the AFC title game and it will be an epic matchup.

Song of The Week
"Sorry Blame It On Me" - Akon
This is Akon's apology to his wife, his mother, his fans, Gwen Stefani.
But it doesn't sound very sincere. Maybe he means it when he's sorry for hurting his wife (he has 3, so I doubt it) and I bet he does mean it that he's sorry he hurt his mother, but he takes no responsibility for the other stuff.
Saying "it's not my fault, it's your fault, but blame me anyway" is not a sincere apology.
But it's a decent song.

Kobe vs. The Magician
Kobe Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, were at Friday night's grand opening of BLUSH Boutique Nightclub at the Wynn in Las Vegas, when he saw poker player Antonio "The Magician" Esfandiari buy two bottles of $1,400 Cristal champagne. According to sources inside the club, Kobe wasn't about to be shown up by some puny little card player -- and kicked in for five bottles. Antonio, who's used to upping the ante, then switched his order to ten! Go big or go home!
Kobe ended the competition when he purchased an astounding 15 bottles -- and then left the club!
Esfandiari himself offers a different version.

Phillies Phans Phight
This violent brawl broke out during one of the games of the Mets-Phillies series (one site says it was the 11-10 game but the video was clearly shot at night). It's hard to tell who started it and who's involved but I assume it was Mets vs. Phillies fans, at least at first. The best part comes when security thinks they have it broken up and then they get attacked. Listen for the ECW! chant.
You Gotta See the Baby
Many Poopheads have expressed interest in coming over to meet Chase. We would love to have you all but we don't want a ton of people on the same night because it may be too much for the little guy and his big brother.
This weekend is for Kate's parents who have only made two short trips to see their grandson. But after that we have a bunch of free weekends (except for Yom Kippur) so just let me know when you want to come over.
Also, anyone who can come on a weeknight after work is welcome.
I know it seems weird to schedule visitation time with the little guy as if he is some kind of prisoner but it's the only way we're ever going to get to see all of you.

Reason Why I Love Mrs. Poop #415,768
In an age when fantasy drafts are rescheduled for "Idols Live" concerts, and wives' birthday dinners, Mrs. Poop allowed me to do a draft for Master Bates on our second anniversary.
We had planned a dinner (our first night out) for our anniversary and asked my parents to babysit Chase and Diesel. It would be our first night out in weeks.
But then Master Bates called and said he couldn't do his draft and could I draft for him at 8pm.
Mrs. Poop said it was no problem, we'd just go to an early dinner.

Jerry Loves the Kids
Jerry Lewis is getting old, very old. He's 81 now and clearly losing it. During his Labor Day Telethon seemingly out of nowhere, he called someone a fag.

Keith Acts Like a 12 Year Old Boy
When Jon Coutlangus entered the game for the Cincinnati Reds, Gary Cohen commented that you have to be careful how you pronounce it. Keith replied "that's a real tongue tier." I immediately called SCZA who laughed loudly then declared "only Keith Hernandez could get away with a pussy joke."
Gary Cohen, SCZA and Mrs. Poop all giggled for the next few seconds.

Now It Can Be Told
If Chase had been a girl, her name would have been Becca Carrington.
We picked the name Chase probably 5 years ago, before I ever heard of Chase Utley.
I prefered Cash, Clyde and Cain. Mrs. Poop said Cash is money, Clyde is dumb and Cain slew his brother.
Bryce was going to be the middle name, not Brennan, but Mrs. Poop didn't like the double Sss sound at the end of Chase and Bryce.
If Chase was a girl I was in favor of Bernadette Charlene but only because I like those two songs.

Syracuse Still Sucks
The team looks a little better this year and I'm definitely not talking about the uniforms. Too much orange. Orange jerseys with orange pants is a bit much. I do like the helmets with the stately large S.
Andrew Robinson is not great, but I think he can be good if they get him some protection from the offensive line. They started him off with short passes and it led to a field goal drive.
Taj Smith and Mike Williams are excellent receivers. I even like Rice Moss.
Chris Speilman and Colin Cowherd ruin this game for me. The worst announcers I've ever heard. They kept saying absolute nonsense. Sean McDonough called them on it twice and they wouldn't back down. Once on a clear clip, and once when Speilman (I think) commended Robinson for going for it on 4th down, then commended him for deciding to quick kick. After which he said, either way it's a good call.
The Syracuse defense wore down and Washington's offense settled in as their quarterback Jake Locker started to settle in.
Syracuse got a couple good kick returns in this game.
SU ended the second half with a field goal to cut the lead to 8.
Then Washington started the 2nd half with a TD and that was the end of the game.
Same old horrible offense by Syracuse. And eventually the defense wears down.
What a horrible performance overall by this team to get absolutely killed at home by a team that isn't all that good either.
Football is dead on the Syracuse campus. By the fourth quarter there wasn't anyone in the Dome, all the students were probably gone by halftime, except the dorky freshman who are just happy to be there in their first week of college.

My Favorite Parable
A guy is walking down the street when he falls in a hole. The walls are so steep he can't get out.
A doctor passes by and the guy shouts up, "Hey you. Can you help me out?"
The doctor writes a prescription, throws it down in the hole and moves on.
Then a priest comes along and the guy shouts up, "Father, I'm down in this hole can you help me out?"
The priest writes out a prayer, throws it down in the hole and moves on
Then a friend walks by, "Hey, Joe, it's me can you help me out?"
And the friend jumps in the hole.
Our guy says, "Are you stupid? Now we're both down here."
The friend says, "Yeah, but I've been down here before and I know the way out."
Note: I had no particular reason for posting this now, I just really like it and thought I would share.

Worst Loss of The Year
The Mets are sliding right down the toilet right now.
A 5-game losing streak including a 4-game sweep to the Phillies, punctuated by three heart breaking losses, each one worse than the previous one.
There is a very good chance the Mets will have a 9-game losing streak by Monday.
The Mets face Tim Hudson (15-6, 3.23 ERA) on Friday, John Smoltz (12-6, 3.06) on Sunday and Aaron Harang (14-3, 3.51) on Monday and the other game Saturday, the Mets are going to pitch Mike Pelfrey (0-7, 5.92).
If they lost the last 5 games when they had a significant starting pitching advantage in 4 of them, how are they going to do when they are at a major disadvantage over the next 4?
The Mets are in major trouble and it now seems like a real possibility that they will not be in first place soon, and may very well miss the playoffs.

I Need 8 To Tie
Denver Broncos running back Travis Henry has 9 kids by 9 different women spread across four states (Florida, Georgia, Tennessee & North Carolina).
He was recently ordered by a judge to pay $3,000 a month in support to one of the women and to establish a $250,000 trust which can be used should he fall behind on his payments to her.
He was in court in the first place because this woman said he was behind in his support, even though he got a $25 million contract and a $1 million signing bonus.
Henry spent about a quarter of that bonus on a car and jewelry (the better to attract baby mama #10).
Henry's lawyer said the signing bonus is all gone, and that he used it to pay debts (because he has significant financial issues), and that despite all this he is a really committed father.
