I just got in so excuse me if I am late... @ not hearing this. This is damming. Now, I am not saying he hasn't said ANYTHING that I haven't heard before though... Lets be clear. He crossed the line though. For sure..

(Wonders aloud how many folks are going to act shocked that Glen Rice & Sarah Palin may have had relations...)
I mean, we don't have video confirmation (Not for a lack of the technology but rather because people actually didn't think having sex was some monumental thing that they only took part in. ) but lets just say it is true and we wholeheartedly believe it.
Then what? I mean I guess it is a chance for some cheap jokes at both of their expenses but after then what do we do with that information? I mean I KNOW we aren't gonna 'judge' her on that one when there are PLENTY OF OTHER THINGS that we have ACTUAL CONFIRMATION and evidence THAT SHE HAS DONE OR SAID are we? As for Glen, I mean he was in school at a major university and he was the STAR BASKETBALL PLAYER. I can 't see anything wrong on either side of this one. Sorry. Oh that's right , Todd was in 'the picture' at the time. So? Pretty sure Todd was getting his dick wet too so let's not play up the strong manly man's 'sensitive ego' thing that most of you are out her using as a cop out. Charge it to the game and keep it moving. @ probably what he would do if he was smart. (Oh, you think HE DOESN'T KNOW DON'T YOU? Probably because YOU WOULDN'T SAY ANYTHING...Oh..Project much?)
I don't like the gal either but damm..I'm just not that invested to go reaching to slander her with this bullshit honestly.
Not my style to kick dirt on folks for shit like this especially when it is pretty common. She had a sports caster gig. She liked dudes. They fucked (maybe). Big deal. Ya'll can continue to giggle and judge like school girls if you like though...Have fun with all that shit.
Just my take on it.

I don't share so this video does NOTHING for me. (NSFW) However, I know some of you like this sorta thing.
I am looking at you some kinda way if you would have been 'out there' waiting in line like you have never gotten head before. Ninjas out there looking like the dudes on Revenge of the Nerds....geeked over getting head AFTER ABOUT 30 OTHER dudes....Color me unimpressed...EXTREMELY NOT SAFE FOR WORK. I could only watch about 1:54 of it 'till I called 'No joy'....I am sure some of you will make it all the way through though...
And no, I have never shared a broad. I mean if we happen to have messed with her at the same time so be it but standing around IN PERSON? Nope. Sorry. None for me thanks. Ya'll can have all of that shit....Never been in a drought that bad....
Even though I know this person will not listen, PLEASE STOP SENDING ME THIS SHIT MAN. Or rather, if you don't, I will diss the shit that needs dissing if you don't. Like this hot bullshit....@ how I even got the video....

Thanks for nothing Gawker... @ChristineOD I mean I don't like her either..
...but this isn't going to make me NOT like her any MORE as a candidate. I get it. It was a story. You 'had' to run it in some fashion. Fine. Run it but don't title it the way you did knowing full well most of your readers don't know their head from their ass when dealing with 'blind rage'. Come the fuck on man...Like this ya'll?
and the headline is MISLEADING LIKE A MOFO. 'Cause they didn't have intercourse. Oral is 'implied' but we don't even know if THAT HAPPENED. All we know (if we know anything at all) is that clothes came off and she doesn't shave. If that is the shit that you are basing your vote on then you need not vote.... I love how homie is trying 'diss her' yet he opened the door and went out with her though. Put her in his bed. I am sure for some of you less mature folks, that is a win in your book for him. I assure you it is not. If she is as bad as desperate as he tried to make her out to be, he shouldn't have messed with her or opened the door. I smell bullshit.
This better not be him 'kissing' all up on her either after yapping his yap..Someone is kissing and hugged up with her...Mofos kill me..Oh now 'she's a hoe'...lol
Blogger Note: Just when I thought 'we' had the market cornered YET AGAIN on the girly mouthed thing in regards to 'relations with a female', I re-discover what my Mom already told me. We hate the 'man' yet we want to emulate him. This is where we got that 'airing people out' shit from....Bad thing is, it stinks just as bad when 'we' aren't involved. And I don't even like this broad like that...
I don't think the 'story' is a shocker. She isn't ugly. Pretty sure she is human and pretty sure she has been propositioned. Yes, I heard what she spewed out of her mouth about 'masturbation' and sex. So what! Plenty of the same people chastising her for it have views on SEX AND THE OPPOSITE that totally contradict what it is they present to the public. lol She isn't the first. She won't be the last. So I took everything she said with a grain of salt. In English, I NEVER believed she was the Virgin Mary 'cause that is not what SHE SAID. Her hard line stance and condescending tone may have led many to JUMP TO THEIR OWN conclusions about her being that but from what I 'heard' from her didn't COME OUT AND SAY THAT. She was on MTV for crying out loud. She was in the middle of some of the most misogynist TV shows known to man and ENJOYED being there. So while I didn't think she was getting her Madonna on, I knew she wasn't Mother Theresa either.
Why do I care enough to write this up? 'Cause I feel insulted by the person who leaked this to think that I would make a vote on something this serious based on who fucked who when they said they opposed fucking. That's why. Fuck the dude who 'leaked' this shit out and fuck Gawker for thinking it was going to change my mind. There is no OTHER REASON to put this out in the MANNER THAT THEY DID so I don't really want to hear that 'They were just reporting the news'...or 'Maybe they wanted to shine light on how bad she is being treated...'Cause that was not the undertone of this article. At all. It was typical phallic based writing and while I am DEFINITELY an owner of such a model, I can't condone this bullshit. Even for a candidate I have no intentions for voting for. She is doing a BANG UP JOB of not making me vote for her thank you Gawker. What I am afraid of though is that someone who 'has nothing else to stand for in regards to this race or politics' and had no intentions voting SUDDENLY feels offended enough to vote and now vote for her. That's what I am afraid of. So that is why I am so moved by this. That is why stuff like this is dangerous.....
Her costume isn't bad though...
Her statement: Hate or love her, her and her camp are right on this one...This doesn't really have a place in the election or have any bearing on the whether or not she is a good candidate....At all. If I were to put up the activities of several of you that you do 'off the clock' that DIRECTLY contradict what you do at work ('cause I know that is where you are gonna go with this), YOUR ASS WOULDN'T HAVE A JOB. Period. Maybe that is why you are upset. I don't know...All I know is if you can do it, she can do it. And in this particular case, 'it' isn't even WRONG. It is just salacious as hell..lol

Wilmington, DE – Communications Director Doug Sachtleben stated in response to the universal condoning of the Gawker story:
"This story is just another example of the sexism and slander that female candidates are forced to deal with. From Secretary Clinton, to Governor Palin, to soon-to-be Governor Haley, Christine's political opponents have been willing to engage in appalling and baseless attacks — all with the aim of distracting the press from covering the real issues in this race. Even the National Organization for Women gets it, but Christine's opponent disturbingly does not. As Chris Coons said on September 16th he would not condone personal attacks against Christine. Classless Coons goons have proven yet again to have no sense of common decency or common sense with their desperate attacks to get another rubber stamp for the Obama-Pelosi-Reid agenda. Such attacks are truly shameful, but they will not distract us from making our case to Delaware voters — and keeping the focus on Chris Coons' record of higher taxes, increased spending, and as he has done again here, breaking his promises to the voters."
The National Organization for Women (NOW) on Thursday condemned the tabloid website Gawker for publishing an anonymous account: NOW issued a statement late Thursday stating that "sexist, misogynist attacks against women have no place in the electoral process, regardless of a particular candidate's political ideology."
"NOW repudiates Gawker's decision to run this piece. It operates as public sexual harassment. And like all sexual harassment, it targets not only O'Donnell, but all women contemplating stepping into the public sphere," said NOW president Terry O'Neill.
Remember that Domino's Pizza car washing post...Here was Domino's response..
“I just wanted to follow up with you and let you know I have talked to the owner and he has addressed this with the store personnel. Just so you know this is not how they normally clean these pans but the manager decided to try something different and in fact after washing these off at the car wash (high pressure hose) they brought them back to the store and washed them through the regular process.
Again I appreciate you contacting us because your perception was this is the only way they washed these pans and I can assure you this is not the case.”

Charles Barkley....'bout time....Apologizes for use of word 'punk' in regards to Lebron..
Look man, I am not saying Charles has to LIKE Lebron's decision. He can disagree. He can even say he STRONGLY DISAGREES. It was the name calling that he and others with a microphone are doing that TRULY rubs me the wrong way. At least he apologized for that.
He bought up some good points on Reggie Bush's situation too..
Listen to him talk on that, taking money in college and more here...

Sheneka Adams on her Sex Tape
It is 2010 who do not give head- Sheneka.....She says it was recorded without her consent.
Is she lying though?
UPDATE:
Seems she has someone who is a bit bitter. I am not mad at seeing it. I am almost not patting homie who leaked it on the back either.....(Shrugs) NSFW....She is taking the attention in stride though...
Well this clears that up....LMAO
Hmmmm...Still not saying her name btw. Denial is a heavily populated town. Especially for those of you thirsty enough to want your 'gossip'/dirt/exposing of celebrities anyway you can get it. I know for some of you though, this won't be enough. :) As you were.
Jemele Hill said it best. "He shoulda just came back and played.."
Here we go again- DMX. ESPN rehashing the whole incident. Running them stupid clips and showing his truck all smashed up. Wondering if 'he can recover from this?" Saying all the cliches, letting Skip Bayless talk and them other goofy announcers they have.
I am not really understanding who it is or why he needs to 'apologize' via this press conference. I mean, the only person(s) that he needs to apologize to is his wife. After that, there is no need. Those that don't want to roll with him anymore through the endorsement deals, the 'I love Tiger' bandwagons and such have JUMPED ship long time ago. They are already saying he can't 'get back what he lost' so what is the point of making this statement? I don't get it.
Oh wait, that's right. He needs to SUFFER. LOL All the 'perfect patties' of the world want to see him begging. Get their last kicks in before they 'decide' that society will forgive him. Shame on you fools. I hope when you fuck up that someone kicks you in the nuts too. Oh wait, they did, didn't they? THAT HAS TO BE WHY YOU ARE SO BITTER? Worrying about what the next man is doing with his private parts. Acting like you care about him. You don't give a shit about that man and you never did. Now, I have to hear Ric Bucher bellly aching about 'You can't tell Tiger anything. He is hard headed. But why should he listen to me? He is the World's best athlete!" and other tongue in cheek bullshit. smh
Oh and Ernie Els? Shut the ENTIRE FUCK UP. Your sport has suffered a 50% decline. Any PRESS YOU GET RIGHT NOW, will line your pockets. You and all the other golfers are just hot 'cause you know that by, lets say the Fall or so, all the jockeying will be done for second place. 'Cause you KNOW who is gonna come in first. If I were you, I'd hate me too- Jeezy @ what Tiger is probably thinking about all of your back biting comments. Those of you who are 'playing nice'? You might as well not do so. He is STILL gonna try to beat you and even if by chance he doesn't round back into his EXACT form, he will still be the reason that 'non golf' fans watch your sport. Deal with it.
Anyhow, the girl Jemele Hill sums up most of want to say. Sans the cussing of course. Read here:

I have no idea why Tiger Woods wants to waste everyone's time with this charade of a "news conference" Friday morning.
This will be the first time in months that the public has seen or heard from Woods since a bizarre one-car accident over the Thanksgiving weekend lifted the curtain on his tawdry personal life and sent him into hiding.
But if this news conference is Tiger's way of accepting responsibility for his actions, he's made a horrible miscalculation. Friday's session will come off as nothing more than a glorified public service announcement.
In a real news conference, the media can ask questions. In this one, none are allowed. A real news conference is open to all accredited media. In this one, only hand-selected members of the press get to watch as Woods reads a prepared statement into the one camera permitted in the room.
Tiger Woods
AP Photo/Eric Risberg)A simple statement to a select group of media representatives isn't likely to gain Tiger much credibility.
You don't signal to the public that you want to make amends and then construct an environment in which you're never challenged about what exactly you're making amends for. I believe I'm speaking for mothers everywhere when I say this: If you're going to do something halfway, why even bother to do it all?
Unlike a lot of people, I don't believe Woods owes the media, fans or curious onlookers an explanation about why he engaged in extramarital affairs. Woods doesn't owe the media a question-and-answer session. He doesn't owe America an embarrassing, in-depth interview with Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer or Oprah. He doesn't owe the public any more statements on his Web site.
All he owes us is great golf. The rest we should leave to our imaginations.
But if Tiger's plan is to "address" the media so it will get off his back, this news conference certainly won't accomplish that. In fact, all it will do is make the media even more adamant in its attempts to expose Woods as a fraud.
Many of my colleagues have always hated the fact that they are at Woods' mercy when it comes to access. By holding a news conference and not allowing them to ask questions, he is rubbing the media's nose in the fact that -- despite his crumbling public image -- things are still on his terms and not the other way around.
A superstar athlete's arrogance and the media's pettiness always make for a dangerous combination. Just ask Barry Bonds. Whatever benefit of the doubt Tiger used to receive from the media should be long gone. Even if he reads the most apologetic, heartfelt statement in the history of the world on Friday, it won't satisfy some people, and more than likely the majority of the media will rip him for being too cowardly to step outside of a controlled environment.
In fact, there already is nothing for Woods to gain in the court of public opinion on Friday, because his unwillingness to answer questions already has people questioning his sincerity.
So again, why bother?
[+] EnlargeTiger Woods
AP Photo/Ng Han GuanThe shadow of his return to the PGA Tour will hover over Tiger's appearance Friday.
This ill-advised tactic shouldn't surprise anyone. Tiger has been playing this situation wrong from the beginning. One of his problems is that he is too obsessed with his public image. The only people Tiger should care about making amends with are his family and his sponsors. And that could be handled privately.
Once it was clear he wasn't severely injured in the accident outside his home, the only message Tiger should have sent is this: No matter how many women come out and claim to have slept with him, whatever is or isn't going on inside his home is none of our business.
Tiger didn't commit a crime. He didn't dishonor the game (though we can't say the same about his marriage vows). He's a public figure who cheated on his wife, and in case anyone hasn't noticed, that's been done by plenty of politicians, and by other athletes.
Tiger's best course of action has always been to return to golf as soon as possible and let everything else play itself out. His self-imposed exile seems senseless and unnecessarily dramatic. Kobe Bryant was accused of rape and potentially faced a lengthy prison term, but he held a news conference before the charges against him were dropped and admitted that he was guilty of cheating on his wife. Then he played through the turmoil. Had he disappeared like Tiger did, the scrutiny and speculation would have only intensified.
Tiger apparently didn't get that memo, and instead has made himself a hostage to the tabloids. Now he's trying to regain some control, but it's too late for that.
I understand Woods might have used this break to put some order back in his life -- there have been numerous reports that he spent part of this time seeking treatment for sex addiction -- but he seems to have forgotten that the reason he reached iconic status in the first place is because he's an excellent golfer, not because he's the husband of the year.
He should have returned to the PGA Tour long before now. Tiger's return was never going to be easy, because he isn't accustomed to such intense coverage of his off-the-course life by the tabloids and other outlets, and no matter what, some golf fans were going to find his reported behavior so offensive that they will no longer want any part of Team Tiger.
You can't please everybody, and that's just the way celebrity works. Half the people love you; the other half hate your guts. It's too bad Tiger is spending so much time concerning himself with the wrong half.
