We gonna kick it ol’ school up in here, Torn Slatterns and Nugget Ranchers

But he bats both ways
*Thursday, Indians minor league pitcher Kazuhito Tadano asked for forgiveness for his appearance in a gay porn video in which he engaged in a homosexual act. Today, New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza held a press conference to announce he has never viewed the video.

Hate to see that
*There was an embarrassing moment at the Super Bowl XXXVIII media day. Bill Clinton barged in uninvited and all breathless. Turns out Clinton saw the three X’s of XXXVIII and mistook it for the rating of an adult movie.

No Bull
The once great dynasty Chicago Bulls are in shambles. They have an NBA last place 283. winning percentage. When it’s that far below 500., shouldn’t it be called a losing percentage?

How bad are the Bulls? Even Pete Rose wouldn’t bet on them.

Today at practice in Los Angeles, the Clippers were telling Bulls jokes.

He? Yes. Hate? Who’s He Hate? Me. You? No, Me. He? Who’s On First? Right.
*The Carolina Panthers' Rod Smart was known as He Hate Me in his XFL days. He Hate Me. As opposed to Bill Clinton who was, at that time, known as “She Ate Me.”

What an inspiration
*NASA said they will just let the Hubble telescope degrade until it’s useless. They got this idea from watching the Joe Lieberman campaign.

Attendance imitates life
*Did you know that about half of the Super Bowl tickets go to corporations and their clients? A big percentage goes to the host city. So a vast majority of the fans at the Super Bowl don’t really care about either of the teams in this game. Sort of just like the rest of the country.

In Paris in springtime. . . or anytime, for that matter
*According to the "New York Post”, Paris Hilton has several movie offers on the table. It’s no wonder, from watching Paris’ little video, we all know she knows how to audition.

With the sex tape, the wild parties and the rumors of many, many boy friends, Paris Hilton has a reputation for being easy. But it’s not her fault, if her parents wanted her to put up more of a fight, they wouldn’t have named her Paris.

Hall of Lame
The first Super Bowl had ten players who went into the football Hall of Fame. This Super Bowl will probably be the first one to be just like Pete Rose and the entire roster of the Detroit Tigers: Not one person in the Hall of Fame.
