Jeff Gordan may be in one hell of a chase for Nascar's title, but one race he did win was that to Ingrid Vandebosch's heart. Ingrid is a supermodel and occasional actress, but full time Nascar groupie. She won the Elite Look of the Year Award in 1990.
Heisman Trophy candidate Darren McFadden ran for an SEC-record 323 yards Saturday night, helping Arkansas to a 48-36 win over No. 23 South Carolina. McFadden ran for a touchdown and also threw for one. "Darren McFadden gave it his all. He is like another Barry Sanders," said Razorbacks coach Houston Nutt, who was on the staff at Oklahoma State when Sanders on the Heisman in 1988. "The bigger the game, the better (McFadden) plays, and that is why he deserves the Heisman."
Running that much in one game a lifetime for some players. To put this into perspective, McFadden ran only 4.8 miles less on Saturday than Ryan Shay did during the Olympic marathon qualifier.

The Fighting Irish's season hit a new low on Saturday when Navy finally beat Notre Dame 46-44 in triple overtime on Saturday. This ended the Fighting Irish's NCAA-record winning streak against the Midshipmen at 43 games. Roger Staubach was quarterback for the Midshipmen in 1963 when they beat Notre Dame 35-14. Since then, the Irish have had their way -- that is until Saturday. Only seven times during the streak the Midshipmen had chances to win in the fourth quarter only to be thwarted by bad luck, questionable calls or big plays by the Irish
It's a big win for our program. It's a big win for the academy," Navy coach Paul Johnson said. "I'm happy I don't have to answer anything else about the streak every time we play."
This is a huge slap in the face for Notre Dame, during an already embarrassing year. Though still not as bad as being told by your girlfriend that her box is too sensitive to bang. Forever.
This is one of the best hockey brawls of all time. 1987 - World Junior Hockey Championship - Canada vs. USSR. While the Soviets were out of medal contention, Canada was playing for the gold medal, and were leading 4-2 at the time of the brawl. Even had they lost the game, they were assured at least the bronze medal.
It began when Pavel Kostichkin took a two handed slash at Theoren Fleury. The Soviet Union's Evgeny Davydov came off the bench, eventually leading to both benches clearing. The officials, unable to break up the fight, walked off the ice and eventually tried shutting off the arena lights, but the brawl lasted for 20 minutes before the International Ice Hockey Federation declared the game null and void. A 35 minute emergency meeting resulting in the delegates voting 7-1 to disqualify both teams from the tournament, the sole dissenter being Canadian Dennis McDonald. Both teams were also banned from attending the players' banquet at the end of the tournament.
Now that is old time hockey!
The wildfires were burning,
And Zumaya's shoulder was churning.
After a box fell on it.
Will miss half the season, quite a bit.
While off Guitar Hero 3 he will be learning.
Martina Hingis, a five-time Grand Slam champion revealed Thursday she tested positive for cocaine at Wimbledon and will retire for a second time rather than fight what she called a "horrendous" accusation. "I am frustrated and angry," the 27-year-old Hingis said at a news conference in Zurich, Switzerland, her voice breaking as she fought back tears. "I believe that I am absolutely, 100 percent innocent." She read a prepared statement ending with the vow, "I have never taken drugs," then left without taking questions.
I don't know if Hingis did blow or not. What I do know is if that test gave a positive result for having a ton of rod in her yapper. Yeah. She's guilty.
Michigan State football players SirDarean Adams, T.J. Williams and Jeremy Ware have been charged with unarmed robbery at a store. They were arraigned last week in District Court in Mason on a felony robbery charge, according to court records. Williams also was charged with misdemeanor assault and battery in the altercation on April 21.
Isn't this what they call team building excercises? This is exactly like the Utah Jazz rape allegation. Exept they were armed. With 8-inch black pistols.

Detroit Lions quarterback Jon Kitna and his wife dressed up as a naked man and a fast-food drive-through attendant at a teammate's Halloween party, depicting an embarrassing moment for one of the team's assistant coaches. Now Kitna is getting some critisism about this joke. Kitna said he was just trying to have fun, but regrets the scrutiny the costumes created. "If I would've known this, I wouldn't have done it because I didn't want to try to bring attention to it," Kitna said Wednesday while surrounded by reporters and television cameras.
Defensive line coach Joe Cullen was arrested last year and pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct and guilty to impaired driving after police said he was driving nude through a Wendy's drive-through lane, and a week later when they said he was driving under the influence of alcohol.
This costume is killer, but not in the OJ kind of way. It could have been worse. At least Kitna didn't dress up as Korey Stringer and his wife as a cold glass of water.
Florida Marlins player Aaron Boone may only be a career .260 hitter, but he made solid contact when he scored this hottie as his wife. Laura Cover was chosen as Playboy's Playmate of the Month in October, 1998 and has appeared in numerous Playboy videos.
I am not sure what attracts bunnies to baseball players. Perhaps it is the tight pants, maybe it's the big paycheque. Whatever it is, if someone could bottle it to sell, men across the world would worship them.
A disgruntled Toronto Raptors fan who last year paid $120,000 for front-row seats "right next to the coach" has filed a million-dollar lawsuit against the basketball team's parent company after it said it would add a new row of courtside seats in front of his. Mark Michalkoff, president of the Toronto logistics company DLF Solutions Inc., paid a one time fee of $30,000 for a personal-seat license for two "unobstructed VIP seats" to Raptors games. His season tickets, which are sandwiched between the press row and the Raptors' team bench, cost another $90,000. According to the statement of claim, if DLF wanted similar unobstructed seats this year, it would now have to pay $1,650 per seat per game, compared with $915 last year, an 80 per cent increase.
Maple Leaf Sports & Entertainment Ltd. recently informed Michalkoff that the company is adding six "team seats" in front of his front-row VIP seats. DLF, which sells and manages company gift card and other incentive programs, has asked for damages of $1.6 million, and a further $20,000 for every Raptors game the company's executives miss beginning with the 2007-08 season.
What a great way to treat fans willing to shell out 6 figures for tickets each year. But if Michalkoff wanted an unobstructed view, I am sure the Raptors will oblige with new seats. And by new seats, I mean they will have him lie down in the key for Bosh to land on his groin after each tomahawk slam.
Mere weeks after claiming he’s earned the right to be re-instated to the NFL, Pacman Jones, the Tennessee Titans, and the NFL have been slapped with a civil suit by the bouncer who was paralyzed after the strip club melee involving Jones.
The bouncer told reporters he holds the NFL responsible for his injuries because he believed they ignored Jones' previous run-ins with police. “If Jones had been disciplined earlier, more likely than not, he would not have been invited as NFL player Pacman Jones to the club.”
The NFL and the Titans said they would fight the lawsuit. “We strongly disagree with any claims against the NFL and the Titans and will respond appropriately to the court," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. State law protects employers from injury caused by an employee's intentional conduct if the employee is on his own time.
I’m still amazed that no one has figured out who actually shot up the club that night. We know Pacman didn’t do it, but we all know he knows who did it. So why don’t they just cut to the chase and drag him down to Guantanamo Bay and beat the information out of him?
The Canadian Kid, Steve Molitor defended his International Boxing Federation junior featherweight championship on Saturday night at Casino Rama with a unanimous 12 round decision over Thailand's Fushang 3K Battery. Battery, formely known as Narongrit Pirang changed his name to promote a sponsor of an Asian company.
No matter how much money they give me, I don't want to go around with a name of a freaking car battery company on my passport. This is the most inane name in sports since Frank White.
The Boston Red Sox swept the Colorado Rockies to win the World Series with a 4-3 win over the Colorado Rockies. This is their second title in the last 4 years, after they ended an 86 year draught by beating the St. Louis Cardinals in 2004. ''It doesn't get old,'' manager Terry Francona said.
I feel bad for the Rockies. They were clearly the hottest team in baseball going into the championship, but 9 days without action before the finals easily killed any of their mojo. I hope Michael Vick is taking notice. Because over a year without action will surely make his dick fall off end his NFL career.

With the World Series nearing an end, what better way to celebrate another baseball season then with one of the greatest moments the game has seen. A crippled Kirk Gibson against the filthiest closer in the game at the time, Dennis Eckersley.
This is kind of funny, but eventually they get to the dinger.
The NFL makes another bad decision
By keeping the Chargers game in S.D.
With fires still burning,
and people losing homes who had to flee
What this tell is us
The Saints will be suiting up in the Superdome,
Even if a hurricane hits on Saturday
And let the homeless and hungry blacks aimlessly roam.
Former NBA player, Keon Clark who was wanted on drug and weapons charges in Illinois was arrested Thursday when U.S. marshals stopped him aboard a commercial bus heading out of Houston. Clark was originally scheduled for trial in August 2006 in Vermilion County in Illinois for possession of marijuana, two counts of possession of a controlled substance and two counts of firearm possession. He also is facing charges of driving with a suspended license, operating an uninsured motor vehicle and DUI.
If it wasn't for Clark being an ex-Raptor, I would have no idea who the hell he was. The reality is this rap sheet reads like the majority of other professional athlete thugs. Only without the bruised skank. Or the precipitation.
The St. Louis Rams released offensive guard Claude Terrell after he was arrested early Tuesday and charged with assaulting his wife at a suburban Houston hotel. Police in the Houston suburb of Webster said they found a woman with "obvious signs of physical injury" after responding to a disturbance at a Hampton Inn. The woman said she was Terrell's wife and told police he had assaulted her. The 6-foot-2, 330-pound Terrell was found at a nearby hotel, where he was arrested and charged with assault-family violence, a class A misdemeanor, police said. Terrell was on probation from a 2006 assault charge of causing bodily injury to a family member, according to court records. He was given a $1,000 fine and two years of probation for that charge in February.

With baseball season almost over, there is no better time to post pictures of the wife of one of our favourite whipping-boys: Mike Piazza. He has been married to ex-playmate Alicia Rickter for two years. Gay rumours aside, he hit this one out of the park!
Police announced last Thursday they were investigating allegations made by a woman in her 20's, who claimed she was sexually assaulted by Kings center Justin Williams at his home in the early morning hours of Oct. 12. According to law enforcement sources, the alleged victim said she met Williams and another woman at a party that night and ended up in Williams' North Natomas home. The woman told police that she had a drink at the house and felt woozy, and that Williams and his girlfriend then tried to have sex with her. Williams does not deny that he and his longtime girlfriend had sex with the woman who is accusing him of rape, but he said it was consensual, according to his lawyer.
Charges aside, nothing says love like your girlfriend serving a barely conscious chick to you for a threesome. If Kobe's wife was this understanding she would have had a front row seat to watch her husband doing an anal whore. And probably Kobe would have been willing to pay more than the $4,000,000.
Max McGee, the unexpected hero of the first Super Bowl died Saturday after falling from the roof of his home, police confirmed. He was 75. McGee was blowing leaves off the roof when he fell, according to news reports. Efforts to resuscitate McGee were unsuccessful.
What an unfortunate way for a gridiron hero to die. Usually when I hear a story about an athlete dying that involves blowing and leaves, I assume the accident report involves driving drunk, a tree, and a road game bimbo wrapped around some wood.
Charlotte Bobcats forward Adam Morrison, an All-American during his career at Gonzaga, is likely done for the season after an MRI exam Sunday revealed a torn ligament in his left knee. The injury occurred in the third quarter of Saturday night's 113-93 exhibition loss to the Los Angeles Lakers. Morrison was trying to defend Luke Walton on a drive to the basket and fell to the floor in pain.
"Our medical staff has had a chance to review the MRI, and they're saying right now they believe there is some sort of tear," Bobcats coach Sam Vincent, a former Sonics player, said Sunday. "Until they get in there and do whatever they do, who knows? But they are saying there's a good chance he will be out for the year. So I'm not counting on him playing."
Morrison's image may have been cute and scored the ladies in college, but he is a pro now. How's he going to explain to his teammates that this injury was caused by his moustache? You can't really expect to bring a big time game when you sport a half-waxed Chihuahua on your upper lip. He may have ended up dead, but at least the stuff Len Bias had under his nose earned him some respect.
It would seem that Michael Vick has accepted the fact he won’t ever return to the Falcons and has therefore put his $4.5M Georgia mansion up for sale. The European-style home features a white, stucco exterior, Cathedral ceilings, eight bedrooms, 8½ baths, two fireplaces, hardwood floors, a two-story foyer and a garage for at least four cars. The home was built in 2004.
Who’s going to be crazy enough to buy Vick’s place? I’ve read enough Stephen King to know that moving into a pet cemetery is a pretty bad idea. Especially one that features pit bulls who were tortured to death. There’s probably so many dead animals buried there I wouldn’t be surprised if the carcass of Bear great Walter Payton turned up.
Former Dolphins wide receiver David Boston was released on $10,000 bail last week after being arrested at his Cooper City home Saturday during a domestic dispute, according to the Broward County Sheriff's Office. Boston was arrested for felony false imprisonment for preventing his wife from calling 911, misdemeanor domestic battery, culpable negligence and resisting an officer without violence. He was released from jail Monday after a bail hearing.
According to the report, the dispute began when Renee Boston took her 2-year-old daughter for a short walk. When she was nearing her house, she saw David Boston in his vehicle pulling out of the driveway, leaving their 1-month-old son alone in the house. Police said Renee Boston was locked out, and she could hear their baby crying inside. She called David, who said he was just driving around the block. When he returned, the couple began to argue. According to police, David Boston became angry and threw a sofa cushion at his wife, hitting her in the face and nearly hitting the baby. When she called 911, he ripped the phone cord from the wall, according to the report. She took herself and her children upstairs, fearing for their safety, the report said.
It is becoming more apparent that Matt Leinart isn't that bad of a father afterall. Even though he probably doesn't know what his kid looks like and couldn't pick him out of a line, it is a lot better then the baby's momma picking him out of one.
After blowing a 3-1 series lead last night with an 11-2 loss to the Red Sox in the ALCS game 7, the Indians have even more controversy to deal with. Before the first pitch, Indians pitcher Paul Byrd acknowledged using human growth hormone for a medical condition, but claims he never injected the banned drug without a doctor's prescription. The San Francisco Chronicle reported Sunday he bought nearly US$25,000 worth of HGH and syringes from 2002-05. The Chronicle, citing an anonymous law enforcement source, said two of Byrd's prescriptions for HGH were not written by a physician.
Standing in front of a media throng outside the Indians' clubhouse, Byrd said he has a pituitary gland condition that required him to take HGH. "I have nothing to hide," Byrd said Sunday about two hours before Game 7 of the AL championship series against the Boston Red Sox. "Everything has been done out in the open. I have a reputation. I do not want the fans of Cleveland or honest, caring people to think that I cheated. Because I didn't."
Yeah, I can also say that all of my medications were prescribed by a doctor. How was I supposed to know that the guy on the subway platform with a stethoscope and a notepad wasn't writing legit prescriptions. He seemed very concerned about my well-being. He kept asking me to bend over and cough even though all I wanted was my damn OxyContin.
