Pole Dancing as an Olympic Sport??

  

Don't laugh it could happen. Strip club owners The sport's organizers are working hard change the sport's image. 

"We're trying to be stricter here and become respected as a sport," said Florenza Pizanis, 43, a pole-dancing coach in Dortmund, Germany, and head of the International Pole Sports Federation's technical committee, which wrote the rules and applied them for the first time at the London championships

Among the written regulations: no dancing "in an overtly erotic manner"—banned, for example, is "gluteal dance"—and no "hats, canes and anything that is not considered attached to the costume."

Haha, gluteal dance?? Without gluteal dancing I'm not sure how fun any of this will be as a spectator sport. Organizers have also written a rule book that gives code names to compulsory moves, specifies scoring methodology and bans pole-dancing staples such as removable articles of clothing. And they'd like people to call their event "pole sports" now.

Just a suggestion, they may want to ban names like Candi, Cinnamon, and Misty as well.

During EX-NFL player Aaron Hernandez’s arraignment, the prosecution mentioned that Hernandez’a fiancĂ©, Shayanna Jenkins was cooperating with the police until he demanded she stop speaking with them.

Jacksonville Jaguars WR Justin Blackmon escorted off field vs. Dolphins




Justin Blackmon isn't even playing for the Jaguars because of an injury, but that didn't stop him from getting into it with the opponents.

AP Writer Mark Long first reported the incident involving Blackmon that eventually resulted in Blackmon being escorted into the locker room. Blackmon was on the sidelines yelling back and forth with Miami Dolphins cornerback Nolan Carroll despite the fact that Blackmon wasn’t even playing Friday night.

Jaguars coach Gus Bradley had to get involved and separated Blackmon from the scene and had running back Maurice Jones-Drew escort Blackmon off the field and into the locker room to help him calm down and defuse the situation.
Things settled down after halftime and Blackmon was allowed to return to the field and was seen on the sidelines reconciling with Bradley. Bradley and Blackmon met after the game to discuss the incident but only Bradley was available for comment after the game. Bradley said in the post-game press conference “Sometimes a player talks to the sideline. It started off as just banter and I just addressed it”.

It is only a blip on the radar but holds even more significance for Blackmon who needs to start avoiding trouble and the headlines. The talent is there to be a very good receiver but if issues like this keep occurring he will have a hard time finding the field.

The always Mercurial JR Smith is in the news again. This time for pulling a Dennis Rodman. Blonde Hair(check), body covered in tats.(check) All he needs now is to date a slutty pop star and his transformation will be complete.(I hear Miely Cyrus is available)

For what it's worth Knicks coach Mike Woodson expressed his displeasure with Smith's new do and Smith is reportedly going to change it back to its natural state.

Chris Johnson Nearly Jukes Redskins Rookie Out of his Cleats.


A preseason game is only as valuable as the amount of snaps the starters play. If I'm a redskins fan, I wouldn't push the panic button just yet, but if you're a Titans fan it's got to be good to seen Chris johnson show flashes of his former self.

12 Year Old Loses Final Jeopardy Due To a Spelling Error






Twelve year old Thomas Hurley won’t win any spelling bees anytime soon. Hurley came into the Final Jeopardy portion of the show in second place before he was asked which document Abraham Lincoln said was a “fit and necessary war measure”


The correct answer is the Emancipation Proclamation, but there’s where things went wrong for Hurley. Hurley knew the correct answer,but badly mangled the spelling of the famous document spelling it Emanciptation Proclamation.

Trebek informed the pre-teen that he would not receive credit for his answer because he “spelled it badly”. When Trebek moved on to the last contestant, he was sure to point out that not only did the young man have the correct answer, but he also spelled it correctly.

Despite airing last Wednesday, the outrage has grown on social media, with viewers flooding the show's Facebook page. Fueling the fire, Hurley’s father called host Alex Trebek “smug". His son Thomas also expressed his displeasure with the ruling. "I was pretty upset that I was cheated out of the final `Jeopardy!' question. It was just a spelling error,'' said the Newtown Middle School student, who won $2,000 as the second runner-up.

My Take:The kid needs to suck it up, I’m pretty sure the rules were spelled out(no pun intended) in advance. Kids today are so coddled, they believe that they should be the exception to the rules. It’s a good life lesson. Besides the kid in first place had 36,000 to Hurley’s 9,000, making it virtually impossible for Hurley to catch up. Suck it up kid this to shall pass.

Mark Cuban Releases Superman Themed Pitch Video Mavericks Used To Woo Dwight Howard (VIDEO)





Just when you thought the Dwight Howard saga was over, Mark Cuban released this little nugget on his website this A.M.  Give Cuban points for creativity. The video, part goofy, almost inspiring, plays on Howard's affinity for the man of steel.

We see a young Howard sent to earth via space shuttle, eventually growing into the next NBA superstar. The comic book styled video uses real play-by-play calls and pictures of Howard, Cuban and Dirk Nowitzki celebrating back-to-back titles.

It's a fun video despite the sycophantic ego stroking.
