SPORTSbyBROOKS » Blog Jam: Maria Sharapova Is Not A Cheap Date

8:57 PM Just got back from Costco, where I secured six cases of owl jerky, a 40-gallon drum of pine cone liquor, three genetically engineered chickens made entirely of wings, a giant squid with a head of fire and talking snakes for tentacles and a copy of Andre Agassi's autobiography, signed personally!

8:09 PM Got five bucks burning a hole in your pocket and an unhealthy obsession for Monta Ellis? Does Mark Cuban have a deal for YOU!

7:51 PM Michigan State football players *allegedly* weren't the only football players in the country involved in a serious dorm altercation recently.

7:33 PM Mychal Thompson used to hoop it for the Lakers and Blazers and is now a sports radio guy in L.A. for ESPN 710 and on Laker radio broadcasts. Here he is putting Ron Artest's Kimmel appearance to shame with ... wait for it ... Roy Firestone.

Blog Jam: Maria Sharapova Is Not A Cheap Date

Posted by Scott on Oct. 08, 2008, 3:50pm

INGAMENOW has seven pieces of advice for the guy who paid $10,000 for a date with Maria Sharapova.

Ann Killion of the SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS brings up a good point: Why is nobody going after Lou Piniella for being 0-6 in the playoffs, while Dusty Baker would’ve never escaped such criticism.

Tim McCarver calls Manny Ramirez “despicable” in an interview, as reported by THE BIG LEAD. Which would be less awkward if McCarver didn’t have to cover Manny’s team for the NLCS. Maybe Scooter the Talking Baseball can help us with the meaning of “dogging it” to help Tim prove his point.

WAITING FOR NEXT YEAR compares the Cleveland Browns to Sarah Palin. This might not be such a flattering comparison.

The ORLANDO SENTINTEL’s Mike Bianchi complains that Florida Gator fans are never satisfied. Apparently a 38-7 win over Arkansas is grounds for thinking something is horribly wrong.

It’s no secret that the Red Sox are officially now the villains of the American League. BUGS AND CRANKS chooses just exactly what Bond villain each of them is.

From the sounds of this 1987 interview (YOUTUBE via EBONYJET.COM), this Mike Tyson fellow is going to have a long, stable, impressive career. I’m sure he and Robin lived happily ever after.

John Lackey tells the LOS ANGELES TIMES’ Gina Ferazzi that he thinks the Angels are better than the Red Sox and that he feels like he wants to “throw someone through a wall.”

According to FANIQ, Seth Petruzelli is claiming that Elite XC told him to stand and trade punches with Kimbo Slice, rather than get him down on the mat where he’d be vulnerable.

One preseason game in the books, and Antawn Jamison and Brendan Haywood are already hurt. NBA FANHOUSE thinks that God isn’t much of a Wizards fan.

I wouldn't mind paying $10K for an evening of 30-love with Maria.

God is simply punishing the Wizards for paying DeShawn Stevenson…

I thought Sharapova was already dating Dick Ebersol's kid.
