Mayweather Jr. Loses Appeal in Pacquiao Defamation Suit

1 July, 2011

by

Back in 2009 Manny Pacquiao filed suit against Floyd Mayweather, Jr., Floyd Mayweather Sr., Floyd’s uncle and trainer Roger Mayweather, Mayweather Promotions and Oscar De La Hoya and Richard Schaefer, who head up Golden Boy Promotions. The suit claims the Mayweather camp defamed his character by falsely accusing him of cheating by using performance-enhancing drugs. Pacquiao maintains he is not on the “juice.”

Fast forward to June 2011 and Mayweather Jr., skips his court-ordered deposition. Pacquiao’s lawyer sought a default judgement, Mayweather’s legal team filed for an emergency appeal, and now the judge has denied that appeal.

Sorry, Floyd, you’re gonna have to talk.

Stay tuned.

Obviously, we know these two won’t be fighting any time soon.

PSA: Boston Red Sox Join “It Gets Better” Campaign [Video]

1 July, 2011

by

Allow me to be blunt, if you will.  Bullying is some bullshit.

No one benefits from being picked on, singled out, abused, or driven to suicide.  Those that bully do so because of ignorance, fear, lack of manners and a need to make themselves feel better.

The It Gets Better Project and The Trevor Project were born of unfortunate necessity to bring awareness to the bullying of teens who belong to the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bi-sexual, and transgendered) community.

The Boston Red Sox lent their support for the cause by producing the following PSA….

Sports have always lived in the macho zone, and historically anything or anyone gay or “soft” ran the risk of being ostracized and ridiculed.  Thankfully, things are beginning to change as more individuals and sports are opening up and taking a stand.

I applaud the Red Sox and other sports organizations, reps and players for their efforts to end the bullying of ANYONE.

You can also take a stand and pledge to speak out against intolerance and ignorance by joining the Its Gets Better Project.

I’m not sure when the desire or need to “plank” will cease, but until such time here is Blake Griffin giving it a shot….

Moving plank? Ummmm, ok.

Due to the NBA Lockout, I expect to see more shenanigans from the players.

What’s next? Or, should I really be asking that question?

Basketball Wife Tami Roman Shines in BET Spoof Real Husbands of Hollywood

28 June, 2011

Tami Roman

Evelyn Lozada may be the most vilified persona on VH1′s Basketball Wives, but Tami Roman, known for giving it to you “straight no chaser,” is most beloved.

During Sunday’s BET Awards Tami joined Kevin Hart, Bobby Brown, Jermaine Dupri, Nelly, Anthony Anderson, and Nick Cannon in a spoof of Fox Reality Channel’s House Husbands of Hollywood, the Real Housewives series, and perhaps Basketball Wives.

Tami played the role of Kevin Hart’s wife and hilarity ensued as soon as she entered the room.
