Tebow Signs Death Wish with Jockey

Just what exactly were you thinking, Timothy?…
[Tim] Tebow, the 25th pick in the NFL draft, is fresh off putting his signature on two contracts, one of them a five-year deal to play for the Broncos and the other a multiyear deal to serve as a pitchman for Jockey underwear.
Beyond the usual rookie ritual of carrying veterans’ shoulder pads and maybe grabbing them a cup of coffee or a sandwich, Tebow knows he’ll be catching a good amount of grief for his endorsement of the tighty whities.(ESPN)
Rafael Palmeiro might have found his first friend since becoming Viagra’s spokeman a few years back.
The Yankees Empire Never Dies

Well, at least the funds never seem to run dry.
The Yankees have traded for 34-year-old Lance Berkman after inking above-average veteran Austin Kearns on Friday.
Here’s the negative side to how much coverage this story is getting: Berkman’s aging body and .245 average are leaving Houston and headed straight to pressure-stacked New York. On top of that, the Yanks are reportedly eating a huge chunk of Berkman’s remaining salary. Sounds like Carl Pavano all over again.
Huggins: It Was the Drugs Fault

West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins’ latest self-imposed injury has a new culprit…
West Virginia University says basketball coach Bob Huggins’ rib-breaking fall occurred because medication taken on an empty stomach left him lightheaded…Huggins broke seven ribs and was hospitalized for several days (AP).
Okay, understandable. Especially when considering Huggins’ history of accidental self-abuse…
Last summer, Huggins got two black eyes when he walked into a door in the middle of the night.
In 2008, he was checking phone messages on an airport tarmac when he tripped on a cone, fell and hit his head.
Cleveland Still Flustered Over LeBron Breakup

It’s like wearing a Yankees jersey to Fenway, or a Chargers jersey to a Raiders home game – just don’t do it…
A fan wearing a Miami Heat jersey of LeBron James drew the ire of the crowd at a Cleveland Indians game and was escorted out of the ballpark, according to ESPN.com.
Fans in the left-field bleachers chanted obscenities and pointed at the man Wednesday night during the sixth inning of the game between the Indians and New York Yankees.
Hundreds of fans joined in before security led the man out of Progressive Field.
There’s two sides to this issue: first, the guy was asking for it. But second, Cleveland fans seriously need to get over this King James breakup. I mean, this is approaching Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger nastiness.
Say it Ain’t T.O.?

Oh yes, it’s true. Troubled but talented receiver, Terrell Owens, is teaming up with a fellow loudmouth, Chad Ochocinco. And sorry, but I’ve already submitted “T.O.Cinco” for exclusive copyright licencing…
Citing an NFL source, the report says the team and Owens’ agent Drew Rosenhaus intensified talks Monday and came to an agreement Tuesday, just in time for Owens to report to the first day of training camp later this week in Georgetown, Ky, according to the Cincinnati Business Courier.
Owens joins the team from the Buffalo Bills, where he played one season at the wide receiver slot. Reports put his deal with the Bengals at $2 million in base salary plus $2 million in incentive payments. He earned $6.5 million in his season with the Bills.
This is gonna be like a terrible standup – say Tom Green and Carrot Top on the same stage. The amount of league-issued fines these two may compile in 2010 could probably buy a beach-front house. Still, it’s gonna be entertaining as ever.
