Sex-for-Tickets: The alleged whore woman who posted a Craig's List ad saying she'd "be creative" in regards to payment for World Series tickets claims she was misunderstood. "I was hoping maybe I could get a cheaper price flirting with him" said the 43-year-old Susan Finkelstein. The guy who responded to her ad was an undercover cop - they met at a bar. She batted her eyes at him in "hopes of lowering the price." (How far would she have gone for "lowering the price?" Hand release? Oral? ATM?) Then, she was cuffed. This is believed to be her Facebook; she likes the TV show "Hung." [NY Daily News] (80)
Woman Chases Teenagers for Sex, Inserts Tampon, Masturbates: "Venus Lewis was charged with three counts of lewd and lascivious exhibition and battery. According to the police report, Lewis was at the E.D. Croskey Recreation Center. She began chasing two league football players, both under 16 years old. She told them she would catch them and then have sex with them. She then walked between two picnic tables, pulled her pants down in front of both boys and inserted a tampon. The boys told police they looked away. Lewis also laid on a picnic table and began masturbating in front of the boys. Ocala police said Lewis was intoxicated. At some point, Lewis also attempted to grab the genitalia of another boy." [Ocala.com] (62)
Dirk Nowitzki: A spectacular, movie-like ending to one of the five most bizarre sports stories of the summer - Dirk Nowitkzi's former live-in girlfriend, the one who claimed to be pregnant and had a criminal past complete with aliases and is going to jail for five years ... was never pregnant. A massive sigh of relief for the best German basketball player in NBA history. This whole drama has the feel of an NBC movie-of-the week, possibly starring Elizabeth Berkley, Meagan Good, or Eva Mendes. The athlete is a tougher role to nail ... tall guy, a modicum of athletic ability, unruly hair ... Ashton Kutcher needs work, right? [Marc Stein] (36)

Well kiddies, here we are on Conference Championship Sunday. Not sure about you, but I like Arizona and Pittsburgh. I also like women with breasts. Yesterday we paid homage to Cindy Crawford and a commenter mentioned he was a bigger Kathy Ireland fan. If she’s a part of the equation, I’m going to raise your Kathy and go with Elle MacPherson. Still looking good after all these years.

David Wright Nearly Mauled by Cougars: This is obviously a publicist plant, but it gave us a chuckle this morning. "Wright was mobbed by a swarm of trashy-looking cougars. Middle-age women with bad '80s hair were practically pushing down little kids who were trying to get baseballs signed." A-Rod would have been delighted. (Page 6) (3)
