Ohio State standout quarterback Terrelle Pryor and five other Buckeye football players have been suspended for the first five games of 2011 for getting free tattoos in exchange for autographs and selling OSU memorabilia on Ebay. Offensive lineman Mike Adams is accused of selling his 2008 Big10 Championship ring for $1,000. While, running back Daniel Herron sold his football jersey for $1,150 and his pants and shoes for $1,000. Anyone else surprise a football uniform went for more than the championship ring?
Our leading candidate for Jersey Chaser of the Year, Kim Kardashian has launched a Twitter campaign asking her more than 5 million followers to write to US Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi to pass a bill condemning the Armenian Genocide.
Proud of her heritage, Kardashian is none too happy that while Armenians fight for recognition, LA Laker Kobe Bryant has signed a contract to endorse Turkish Airlines. In 1915, Turkey committed a mass massacre on Armenia, but Turkey refuses to admit the genocide took place. Los Angeles is home to one of the largest Armenian populations in the US, and Kobe’s newest endorsement deal has angered many including Kardashian.
Kardashian asked her brother-in-law and Bryant’s teammate Lamar Odom to talk to him to get out of the contract. While Bryant has not spoken publicly on the controversy, he allegedly told Kardashian he signed a business contract, and it is not political.
The Madden Curse is the supposed jinx on any athlete who appears on the video game cover of Madden NFL. Past victims include Vince Young, who suffered a serious quadriceps injury in 2003, and Daunte Culpepper who ended his season with a knee injury the previous year.
What has been cast off as fan superstition and unfortunate coincidences may now be coming to the Big Screen. Electronic Arts, who produces the video game, is developing a sports comedy called the “Madden Curse,” but the plot will not be what fans think….
According to Pat O’Brein, VP of EA Entertainment, “The story will follow a former Madden video game champion who is forced out of retirement just as he finds himself on the corner of the game’s cover — and subject to the curse.”
As a blogger I shift through hundreds of potential posts a day deciding what is noteworthy enough to make it on TJC… a few days ago I saw a story that NY Jets head coach Rex Ryan and his wife made foot fetish videos and posted them on YouTube. I passed it off as a complete joke and couldn’t believe other bloggers fell for the nonsense. Much to my surprise, Ryan has all but confirmed the videos are indeed of his wife Michelle.
At a press conference for the Jets’ upcoming game against the Chicago Bears this weekend, Ryan would not deny or even comment on the videos. “To be honest, and I get it, I know you need to ask and all that stuff,” Ryan said. “But it’s a personal matter and I’m really not going to discuss it, OK?
Deadspin.com broke the story after a reader noted the uncanny similarities between the woman in the video and Ryan’s wife Michelle. The videos are posted on the channel “ihaveprettyfeet” and were uploaded before 2009, just months before Ryan began his head coaching job with the Jets. A man’s voice can be heard in the background talking to Ms. “Ihaveprettyfeet,” which sounds a lot like Ryan.
Ryan has called his wife a supermodel, but apparently he thinks she is a foot model as well. By not denying the videos, many are taking it as a confirmation… guess Rex really put his foot in his mouth with this one!
