Feelings (He) Can't Explain: After Janet Jackson's infamous nipple scandalized America, the NFL has skewed vanilla with its Super Bowl halftime guests: Paul McCartney, Bruce Springsteen, etc. The Who seemingly followed this vein, though it seems the NFL forgot about guitarist Pete Townshend's 2003 arrest for child pornography. Schools in the Dolphin Stadium vicinity were sent a warning about his presence in the area. (Page 2 Live)(42)
Sean Salisbury: The former ESPN football analyst, perhaps inspired by John Edwards' confession, has finally admitted he took cell phone photos of his penis a few years ago and showed the pictures to colleagues. We broke this story in January 2007 after two writers had written blind items about the incident. Salisbury had staunchly denied the story for years, but finally admitted to USA Today (largest print outlet!) it was a "a sophomoric mistake." Salisbury would have been about 43 at the time of the incident. He is currently unemployed. (42)
Only in Florida: Steve Babik, 50, coordinator of University of Florida’s radio network, has been charged with distribution and possession of child pornography. He faces a minimum five-year prison sentence. Babik was a sideline reporter and radio host for football. If God made time to tell Urban Meyer he was meant to coach Sharrif Floyd, you would think he would warn him about this creep. (Tampa Bay Online)(61)
Horses: "This guy makes Michael Vick look like a charter member of PETA." This guy would be an 18-year-old who was charged with "burglary, a felony, and two misdemeanors — sexual misconduct with an animal and petty larceny." The boy used "bridles to immobilize the horses in their stalls for each of his escapades." [Record Online] (6)
Kyle Dennis, a 37-year-old math teacher slash basketball coach in Idaho, was arrested this week for exposing himself at Costco and Walmart three different times this year. “According to court documents, Dennis ‘knowingly engaged in obscene conduct…by manipulating his penis with his hands while walking around a Costco store with an erection.’” Personally, we’re offended he’d double-dip between Costco and Walmart. Sane, thrifty, educated shoppers go to Costco; guys who like to walk around in public holding their erection and these social types define Walmart. [Last Angry Fan]
It’s Friday. That means we can talk about things such as 66-year old WWE legend Jimmy Snuka shopping a reality show. The first thing that came to mind upon learning of this was, how has Ric Flair not had his own show yet?
Everyone from Ric Flair to Mick Foley has tried with little success to cross that line. “Superfly” Jimmy Snuka is the latest WWE Hall of Fame wrestler trying to give it a whirl. Read the rest of this entry »
Ted Williams' Frozen Head: "Workers at an Arizona cryonics facility mutilated the frozen head of baseball legend Ted Williams - even using it for a bizarre batting practice, a new tell-all book claims ... in July 2002, shortly after the Red Sox slugger died at age 83, technicians with no medical certification gleefully photographed and used crude equipment to decapitate the majors' last .400 hitter. Williams' severed head was then frozen, and even used for batting practice by a technician trying to dislodge it from a tuna fish can." [NY Daily News] (33)
Sick Wrestling Coach: Mark Anthony Scott, director with USA Wrestling, was arrested yesterday and "is being held on suspicion of attempted sexual exploitation of a child, attempted Internet sexual exploitation of a child and Internet luring of a child."Â [Denver Post] (23)

“One NBA person said Toronto GM Bryan Colangelo recently told him the current plan is to try to surround Bosh with better players instead of trading him.” (Sorry, Cleveland)
