      New mistress allegations for Chad Johnson

      August 24, 2012 /

      Chad Johnson craves attention, but his “look at me” lifestyle is starting to bite him in the behind. When you live your life on social media and reality TV, you really can’t complain when the media devours every aspect of your personal life, good and bad.

      Chad Johnson is learning this the hard way, as he’s seen his marriage and career disintegrate on national television following his arrest, and now more information is coming out.

      Not surprisingly, RadarOnline.com is reporting about other women allegedly in Chad’s life. According to Radar, Chad had a mistress in Atlanta that was basically his sugar baby. You can see a photo of Amber Priddy above, check out this Amber Priddy slideshow and see more of this exotic model courtesy of Black Men Magazine. According to this report, Chad was covering her rent and flying her in to Miami right under the nose of his new wife, Evelyn Lozada.

      We aren’t here to judge, and Chad wasn’t doing anything that most athletes get away with, and you can see that Amber has some serious curves. But when you’re living your personal life in the spotlight, don’t be surprised when everything you’re doing gets exposed.

      On the other hand, you have to feel for the guy. Chad was working hard to revive his career with the Miami Dolphins after sitting on the bench in New England for the past year. All of us could see him battling on “Hard Knocks.” Depending on your perspective, he could be annoying or hilarious, but he comes across as a good guy. But he put himself in a bad situation, apparently made a serious mistake, and now his entire life is getting even more scrutinized.

      UFC cancels UFC 151, conveniently puts all blame on Jon Jones

      August 23, 2012 /

      In case you have been under a rock today, UFC 151 has been cancelled.

      The short story is Dan Henderson injured his knee and couldn’t fight next Saturday, prompting the UFC to offer Jon Jones a replacement opponent of Chael Sonnen. Jones, after speaking with his team, declined to take the fight on such short notice.

      So, the UFC, instead of finding a new main event, or just running with the card they setup sans the main event, decided to just axe the event altogether.

      In the process, they completely threw the light heavyweight champion under the bus.

      Normally, I am on Dana White’s side of things. He is a hot head, no doubt, but he usually tells it like it is.

      However, blaming Jones for the canceling of an event is simply a convenient way to take the blame off of himself and the UFC.

      First off, canceling an entire UFC event is a big deal. It impacts the fighters, the venue, the host city and those that would be working the event.

      Many fighters rely on a small paycheck from fighting on the under card simply to make ends meet. Due to the UFC’s venom spewed at Jones, many of those fighters are now taking their anger and frustration out on the champion as well.

      But, let’s all take a deep breath and take into consideration two things:

      Luck looks good again

      August 20, 2012 /

      Yes, he’s human. Andrew Luck threw a couple of picks tonight against the tough Steelers defense, but he also rebounded to throw some great passes throughout the ballgame. Like all of the rookies he’ll go through some growing pains, but we can see many of the tools that have had scouts excited for years.

      Meanwhile, Robert Griffin III had a tougher evening the other night as he took some sacks and coughed up a fumble. Naturally, everyone got overly excited by his performance in his first preseason game when he face little pressure, but the Bears weren’t as accommodating, and Griffin seemed to rely too much on his feet as he felt pressure. Fans shouldn’t overreact to these setbacks in preseason just like they shouldn’t overreact to his first game, as the coaches will be hammering Griffin to make better decisions. He was able to rely on his feet in college from time to time, but he’ll probably get banged up quickly if he tries to keep that up in the pros. Shanahan will push him to be very selective on when he decides to take off.

      With fantasy football and 24-hour Twitter comments, fans can’t help but hang on every preseason pass, but time is a critical component in the development of NFL quarterbacks, and the amount of time needed is usually hard to predict. Luck seems to be the most ready as everyone expected, but we’ll have to see how it plays out. For some fantasy football owners, both Luck and RG3 will seem very tempting during the draft, but I’ll probably focus on a proven quarterback instead.

      Ryan Howard working to get back old form

      August 20, 2012 /

      It’s been a miserable year for the Philadelphia Phillies. With the success in Philadelphia in recent years, the expectations of Phillie fans has been in the clouds, but reality set in for the 2012 season. Too many things have gone wrong to mention, but the absence of Ryan Howard and Chase Utley for a huge chunk of the season will usually lead any such discussion.

      Fortunately for Philadelphia fans, both players are back, and both seem to be making significant progress towards reclaiming their leadership roles.

      With Ryan Howard, the hill to climb is particularly steep as he works his way back from a serious Achilles injury. We’ve seen some incredible hitters in this generation, but Howard immediately started to put together a Hall of Fame caliber career from his first season when he won the Rookie of the Tear award. The next year, he put together one of the all-time great offensive seasons on the way to winning the MVP award. In 2006, Howard hit 58 home runs, drove in 149 runs and hit .313 with a 1.084 OPS! After only seven full seasons he was already closing in on 300 home runs and on the fast track to the Hall. Along the way he helped the Phillies to two World Series appearances and one title, so regardless of what happens next the fans in Philly will always love him.

      Now coming off the injury last season, Howard doesn’t seem to be full strength, but he still has that beautiful swing. While the 2012 season is lost for the team, it’s giving Ryan a chance to work his way back into top form. Utley is also working his way back, so things should be looking up for 2013.

      As for Howard and the Hall of Fame, it will be hard for him to replicate his unbelievable stretch from 2006 to 2009, when over four seasons he averaged almost 50 home runs and over 145 RBIs per season. But he should easily get back to his numbers of recent years with over 30 home runs and over 100 RBIs, and if he keeps that up for a while he’ll waltz into the Hall of Fame.

      Howard is one of those players that most people root for. He’s had some fun with his celebrity status, like making an appearance on Entourage as on of the prospective investors in Turtle’s business ventures, but he’s stayed grounded. He’s in the middle of a long-term deal, so he’ll probably be in Philadelphia for a long time. Let’s hope he ends his career there.

      Honor Your MVPs with a Cruise Vacation

      August 19, 2012 /

      We all know that athletes work hard. Between training and getting ready for any sporting event, athletes have a full schedule that takes them away from their family, friends and social life. Imagine taking your athletic team on a cruise to celebrate their success at the end of the season.

      Not only is a cruise an exciting and adventurous way to celebrate, it is also an excellent way to build team spirit and allow your team to bond while enjoying themselves.

      Choose Your Location

      There are so many exciting and fun-filled locations available to take an athletic team. From European cruises and Mediterranean cruises to trips around the Caribbean and sailings to Alaska; all you need is a destination in mind to get started.

      For instance, if you plan a European cruise for your team, not only can they enjoy fun on-board, there are so many things to see and explore in Europe. Some of the amazing ports include London, Amsterdam, Belfast, Venice, Dubai, Naples and more than fifty more ports in amazing countries filled with culture and history.

      Your team members can see the Leaning Tower of Pisa in one afternoon and enjoy a drink in an Irish pub the next day.

      Fun On-Board

      Life on a cruise ship is never boring and your team won’t be sitting around waiting for the next port. Your MVPs will enjoy fun on-board as well as off. There are so many things to enjoy on-board such as:

      • Casino Gambling – casino gambling is an exciting part of a cruise for many.
      • Restaurants and Cafes – there are so many choices in places to eat that the hard part will be choosing where to eat next.
      • Lounges, Bars and Clubs – With the many lounges, bars and clubs on-board there is excitement, dancing and socializing around every corner.
      • Spa and Fitness – you won’t have to worry about your team staying shape because a fitness center as well as spa amenities are always available to guests.
      • Shows and Entertainment – From comedy shows to Broadway shows and more; your team will easily find something they enjoy.

      In fact, some cruisers enjoy their life on-board more than their ports of call or shore excursions. It’s really up to each person but the point is, there is always something to do whether you’re on-board or off.
      All you have to do is decide on honoring your team with the trip of a lifetime. Many people never get to experience a cruise to Europe or anywhere for that matter so why not show your athletic team that you’re behind them all the way? Make them know how appreciative you are for all of their hard work, dedication and team spirit with a cruise vacation.
