For a team that hasn’t won their division since 1985, being a Kansas City Royals fan has paid off big time… $192 million big time! The winner of the Powerball Jackpot used numbers of KC Royals greats to pick his winning ticket.

#5 George Brett
#23 Mark Gubizca
#16 Bo Jackson
#22 Dennis Leonard
#29 Dan Quisenberry
#6 Willie Wilson

52-year old Missouri mechanic Mark Hill is the lucky Royals fan of who won the Powerball Jackpot. Though he is is Royals fan, Hill claims he did not pick the numbers based off KC Royals players… that still didn’t stop Royals DH Billy Butler from tweeting, ” Hey Powerball winner/Royals fan in MO…feel free to drop some $$$ off at the stadium… it will be put to good use!#pitching #spreadthelove.”

It is always sad when a player leaves the team he was drafted by, and wide reciver Stevie Johnson is dealing with an uncertain future with the Buffalo Bills . The 25-year old free agent is turning to British singer Adele for guidance.

While cleaning out his locker after the Bills failed to make the playoffs, Johnson tweeted a picture saying: “iPod on Shuffle. Cleaning. Adele come on. I cant help but feel as if this is a sad story. #NotNowAdele but Could it Be?”

Johnson is the Bills leading receiver for the second consecutive season. He finished with 76 catches for 1,004 yards and 7 touchdowns. But the real question mark is why he has Adele on his iPod?

Will the real Kirk Morrison please stand up? After a number change when Kirk Morrison was traded from Oakland to Buffalo earlier this year, the veteran linebacker wanted to change his Twitter handle from @KirkMorrison55 to @KirkMorrison… only problem was 20-year old Canadian student Kirk Morrison was already tweeting under @KirkMorrison.

How much was the Twitter handle worth to Morrsion? How about an all-expense paid trip for two to Buffalo, ticket to a Sabres-Flames game on Friday night, meeting Morrison at the Buffalo team hotel, tailgating with Hall of Famer Jim Kelly, and getting on the field for pre-game warmups before the Jets-Bills game.

After the festivites, Kirk Morrsion told the Regina Leader-Post, ”Back to reality, I guess. I have classes (Monday) afternoon that I need to be at. But we’re already talking about going back. We had such a great time, met so many amazing people and made a new friend in (Kirk Morrison). We’re definitely going back … we’re Bills fans for life.”

The NBA playoffs are the hottest tickets in town in Chicago, but there were two noticeable empty seats last night at the United Center for Game 1 of the Orlando Magic- Chicago Bulls second round matchup. Just before the end of the regular season, the Bulls and Magic faced eachother. After the game, Orlando’s Jameer Nelson was caught on camera telling Bulls’ Derrick Rose, “I’ll catch you in the second round.” But Nelson ran into one small road block, the Atlanta Hawks bounced the Magic in the first round.

Luckily, the Hawks were there to help Nelson out by leaving two tickets in his name at will-call at Chicago’s United Center. Head of Atlanta Hawks PR Arthur Triche tweeted, @HawksPRGuy, “Taking a page out of [former NFL coach] Jerry Glanville’s book, I think I’ll follow through on Jameer’s request to catch Derrick Rose in the 2nd round.”

While the tickets were not claimed, in Nelson’s defense they were in the 300 section!

The NBA has long been accused of dirty officiating, but referee Bill Spooner is maintaining his innoncence… going so far he is sueing a reporter.

The league investigated Spooner after AP reporter Krawcsynzski accused him of fixing a Minnesota Timbwerwolves-Houston Rockets game back in January. The league came up empty handed in their investigation, and now Spooner is suing Krawyczynski for $75,000.

Krawczynski tweeted, “Ref Bill Spooner told Rambis he’d “get it back” after a bad call. Then he made an even worse call on Rockets. That’s NBA officiating folks,” and refuses to delete his tweet!

It all started when Ciara was on the guest panhel for E!’s Fashion Police when she sold out Rihanna saying she ran into her at a party and wasn’t very nice. The fued boiled over onto Twitter when Rihanna responded by tweeting, “My bad Ci, did I forget to tip you.”

The two exchanged heated tweets back and forth, but it isn’t the 140 characters that has everyone talking… but the reason behind the fight. At the NBA All-Star game, Rihanna snubbed Ciara after the Goodies singer tried to get into the VIP section of LeBron James and Jay Z’s Two Kings Party. Ciara has been linked to LeBron in the past, and Rihanna called out the singer for being disrespectul while LeBron’s fiance and former jersey chaser of the month Savannah Brinson was there. Savannah and LeBron are high school sweet hearts and have two sons together. In the past LeBron has been accused of being unfaithful, but not if Rihanna has anything to say about it!

Kevin Garnett refuses to give ball boy autograph has “better chance of catching bin Laden”

thejerseychaser — Mon, 31 Jan 2011 16:46:35 +0000

It seems Boston Celtics Kevin Garnett takes the LA Lakers-Celtics rival a little too seriously… during Sunday’s match-up at the Lakers’ Staples Center, Garnett turned down a ball boy when asked for an autograph saying, “You’ve got a better chance of catching bin Laden.”

Garnett’s remarks were reported via Twitter by ESPN’s J.A Andande and Yahoo! Sports Marc Spears but were later deleted because of the mass amount of people retweeting the posts.

The Lakers lost to the Celtics, 109-96. As for the ball boy, he should’ve tried asking Matt Damon for an autograph, who was in the stands watching.
