Remember that Jim Calhoun press conference outburst earlier this week? Neither do I, but apparently not everyone has a life to move onto after seeing that. Two Connecticut state legislators state Sen. Mary Ann Handley and state Rep. Roberta Willis, both Democrats, sent a letter to UConn president Michael Hogan requesting that “appropriate disciplinary action” be taken against the men’s basketball coach. Like what, rapping him on the knuckles with a ruler?
“Coach Calhoun needs to be reminded that he is a role model for many athletes and students and that his behavior should reflect this position . . . His recent behavior was unacceptable, and we request that the university take appropriate disciplinary action to reinforce the high ethical standards we have come to expect from our flagship institution.”
It’s amazing that these…people…have the nerve to tell someone how to do his job WHEN THEIR STATE IS ALMOST 9 BILLION DOLLARS IN THE RED. MAYBE YOU SHOULD TAKE A LOOK AT YOUR FU¢KING BUDGET INSTEAD OF WORRYING ABOUT SOME GUY THAT’S ACTUALLY PROFICIENT AT what he does…damn this caps lock button never wants to come up. How’d all these keys get so sticky, anyway?

Blah blah blah she gets smacked in the face. Hey, whatever it takes to pay for the surgery to fix those teeth is fine by me. Dear God, she looks like a muppet run over by a lawn mower. If muppets were as racist as white people, they’d never have any friends. Because they’re all different colors, see.
Alex Rodriguez’s now-famous peddler of drugs (that can be bought over the counter in the Dominican Republic!) Yuri Whathisname has been banned from the Yankees facilities.
One day after A-Rod was chauffeured from Dunedin Stadium back to Tampa by his cousin Yuri Sucart, the Yankees met with the third baseman to inform him that Sucart was no longer allowed anywhere near the team.
“Yuri won’t be around anymore,” a source with knowledge of the meeting told the Daily News. “They can’t stop him from hanging out with him away from the ballpark, but he won’t be at the ballpark.”
Normally getting banned from anything would make you a much cooler person, but look at this guy. He looks like he’s auditioning for the lead in Pablo Blart: Mall Bandito. That’s not racist, is it? Eh, he’s Dominican. I have tons of Dominican friends.

NFL free agency has started with a bang. Reports are out that Albert Haynesworth will sign with the Washington Redskins in blockbuster deal worth $100 million or so over seven years. And SI.com is reporting that the ‘Skins are also shelling out $54 mil for troublemaking cornerback DeAngelo Hall. And then Dan Snyder went out and spent five bucks for a pack of gum, and then took one piece out of the pack and threw the rest away. That guy really hates gum. Allegedly.
In other free agent news, Manny Ramirez turned down a one-year offer that would have paid him $25 million this year. And then like 93 girls wanted to have sex with him and he turned all of them down. Why does everybody hate gum? What did gum ever do to you people?

According to Us Magazine, Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and supermodel Gisele Bundchen were married in Santa Monica yesterday, finally legitimizing their relationship in the eyes of the God who so carefully crafted them by hand.
The bride, 28, donned a form-fitting ivory lace strapless gown with a trumpet skirt, scalloped edges, long train and a floor-length veil with attached handmade satin roses and attached satin headband, all by Dolce & Gabbana. Her three dogs also wore matching Dolce & Gabbana floral lace collars.
Oh, good. You hate to see dogs under-dressed at weddings.
The ceremony — which began at dusk — was “very small and intimate,” a source tells Us, adding that guests mostly consisted of immediate family. Brady’s son with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, John Edward Thomas Moynahan, was also present.
Good Lord, I’ve waited for this day for a long damn time. Not because I wanted them to get married, but because I was exhausted from writing posts about engagement rumors, denials of engagement rumors, gossip regarding wedding locations, etc. I checked the archives and there were six posts in the last couple months about them maybe getting married, and all of them were a complete waste of time. This event is my white whale. My sexy white whale. (Which is what I call your mom, btw.)

A professional poker player killed his parents with the hopes that his inheritance could pay off his mounting debts, officials say. Ernest Scherer III (pictured) was arrested Monday and charged with murder after his parents, Ernest Jr and Charlene, were discovered stabbed and beaten to death last year.
Scherer’s parents were beaten and stabbed in their 4,000-square-foot, three-level home, apparently after returning from dinner at the country club the night of March 7. Their pajama-clad bodies were found a week later…
[Sheriff Scott] Dudek wrote that Scherer “did not appear to show much emotion” at the deaths. He seemed more interested in getting a look at the will, hoping that it would give him as much as $1.5 million, Dudek said.
Sounds like he didn’t have much of a poker face. I guess the Scherers had a full house… of death. Looks like this flop was a 1-8-7. He went all-in, all right — and the police called. YAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
