The NFL’s contract with Radio City Music Hall has expired, and the league is courting suitors to host the draft, starting next year.
One of the early frontrunners is LA, despite, you know, not having a team or anything. Read more…
Today the NEW YORK POST employed its dirty tricks department, the folks at PAGE SIX, to use whatever means possible to embarrass Tom Brady while he visits their fine city.
While stalking following the QB (who is in town to see girlfriend of the moment Gisele Bundchen), Post minions observed Brady entering a medical building.
Excerpt: “PageSix.com first called the podiatrist (for his suspect right foot), but the receptionist there said, “No, he wasn’t here. PageSix.com then called the chiropractic practice, but the receptionist there said, “No, he didn’t come in.”
Finally the Post (oops, make the PageSix DOT COM) called a hair replacement doctor in the same building. Read more…
PAGE SIX gets a leg up on Tom Brady, as they spot the New England star in a cast. Strange, since you’d think it would’ve been the other QB on the Foxboro field that would have had the more pressing need for one.
The Pats signal caller was caught outside girlfriend Gisele Bundchen’s Big Apple apartment on Monday, and his stylish faded jeans couldn’t hide the fact that his right foot wasn’t concealed in an ordinary sneaker.
When asked about the apparently injury during an appearance on WEEI radio, Brady calmly responded, “Ah, you know, there’s always bumps and bruises….It’s nothing serious.” Not surprisingly, the Patriots had no comment about their MVP’s situation.
How does Brady really feel about wearing a walking cast?
Proving she’s not just all brains & beauty, Kim Kardashian showed off a little muscle during a night out with her man Reggie Bush.
(Reggie carefully carrying Kim’s Christmas cargo.)
The NEW YORK DAILY NEWS catches Kimmy kicking out the man who may have helped ruin Reggie’s collegiate career. While at a San Diego club, Kardashian came face-to-face with Lloyd Lake, the sports marketer accused of giving Bush over $300,000 during his days at USC. As the D-N reveals, “She had him tossed out faster than you can say ‘revoked Heisman’!”
And Reggie & Kim weren’t the only ones having a fun time out on the town.
OVER 50 PLAYERS PICKED IN MITCHELL REPORT FINDINGS: Well, Major League Baseball finally has their hands on the Mitchell Report. And on Thursday, fans and curiosity seekers from all over the world will soon know which of their favorite and least-favorite players is on the juice.

The NEW YORK TIMES needles in on some info that over 50 current and former players have been pointed out in the document as users of illegal performance-enhancing drugs.MLB officials traveled a few blocks from their New York headquarters to the DLA Piper law offices on Tuesday to skim over the final findings. One anonymous source said the MLB men felt the report was “harsh”.
Another anon source said the Players’ Union - who did not visit DLA Piper - were aware of certain parts in the report, and “was upset by what it had seen“.
Maybe this calls for another players’ strike. It’s been a few years since we’ve had one.

The official announcement of the final Mitchell Report is scheduled for Thursday. Mitchell and MLB commish Bud Selig will hold separate press conferences - George first, then Bud - to discuss the findings.Personally, we find this Mitchell report a lot more amusing.

According to Caraviello, Burton wants to “move the thing to Vegas, put it in a huge arena, open the upper level for fans and turn it into a motorsports version of the Grammys or the People’s Choice Awards.”However, Caraviello argues against the idea, calling Sin City “conquered territory”, and supports the show’s stay in New York, as a way to keep NASCAR in the minds of Manhattanites.
