      Jamal Anderson busted on drug charges

      February 8, 2009 /

      This is a surprise.

      Former Atlanta Falcons running back Jamal Anderson was arrested and booked into an Atlanta-area jail late Saturday night on a felony possession-of-cocaine charge and possession-of-marijuana charge, a misdemeanor.

      Anderson, an NFL analyst for ESPN’s First Take this past season, was booked into the Fulton County jail in Georgia and denied bond.

      His first hearing was set for Monday morning, the Fulton County sheriff’s office said Sunday.

      Anderson, 36, was arrested at the Peachtree Tavern in the community of Buckhead after an off-duty officer working security at the club alerted police, according to The Associated Press, citing a police spokesman.

      Police found a suspected marijuana cigarette in Anderson’s pocket, local reports said. Another man with Anderson was also arrested. Police said both men were in possession of cocaine, according to the reports.

      Anderson never struck me as someone who would get into this kind of trouble, but who knows these days. The marijuana is not the big deal here. The hysteria surrounding the Michael Phelps story is absurd, but cocaine is another matter.

      Top 10 Sports Fight Songs

      January 26, 2009 /

      The Love of Sports ranked the top 10 sports fight songs:

      3. “Brass Bonanza” – Hartford Whalers
      This amazing tune was the fight song of the Hartford Whalers hockey team, now known as the Carolina Hurricanes, of course. It’s part elevator music, part cheesy sports movie soundtrack, part magic. Hard to imagine why anybody in Hartford would ever let the team leave Connecticut.

      2. Miami Dolphins Fight Song
      It’s surprising that anybody talks about the Miami Dolphins’ fight song anymore, because the banjo-laden and grammatically incorrect tune certainly takes listeners back to an earlier era. However, the upbeat tempo and positivity that oozes from the fight song makes it hard to resist.

      1. “When The Saints Come Marching In” – New Orleans Saints
      Though the song isn’t used exclusively by the Saints, it’s often associated with the team (like in that MasterCard commercial last year!). In actuality, the team was named after the song. Once covered by Louis Armstrong, the song isn’t just a part of football culture, but of American culture as well. Much like Peyton Manning, who’s transformed himself from an NFL quarterback to a television commercial superstar. But I digress.

      The Whalers’ jam sounds like an 80s sitcom theme song or something. It makes you want to bounce your head.

      Could you imagine some of the theme songs for teams now? All of the songs on TLOS’s top 10 list are all light and fun. If teams had their own theme songs nowadays it would probably be about ho’s, intravenous drug use and detailed ways to literally kill the other team.

      Erin Andrews: Greatest Hits

      January 20, 2009 /

      The Love of Sports compiled a top 10 list of great Erin Andrews moments of the past couple of years. (Hey, someone had to do it.)

      2. The Chicago Cubs get easily flustered in her floozy presence
      “Yup. I’m just a hot chick covering a baseball game. [Blows bubble.] Nothing to see here, please move along.” Not so fast. Mike Nadel, a Chicago news service columnist (and, in the children’s game of Eye Candy Land, would be Mr. Molasses) penned the scathing report, “Blonde Bombshell can’t distract red-hot Cubs” and, well, let’s just say he takes issue with her … assets. And flirting. Or something.

      Erin Andrews

      1. Playboy’s Sexiest Sportscaster
      Of course she is. The people have spoken. I wonder for whom these gentlemen below voted.

      Erin Andrews

      You’ve got to admire Andrews’ longevity. Normally America shuffles “what’s hot” out the door as quickly as we ushered he/she/it in. But Andrews has stuck around and you know what? She’s pretty good at her job, too. (Yes…and nice to look at.)

      Andy Reid needs to go on “The Biggest Loser”

      January 17, 2009 /

      Folks, you won’t find a more blue-blooded New York Giants’ fan than me. Which means that I hate the Philadelphia Eagles and Dallas Cowboys with a venom that only fellow sports fans can appreciate. But I’m also human. I have a family and take healthy living seriously. Well, for the most part…I love bacon and ice-cream as much as anyone. But I want to make the observation that Eagles’ coach Andy Reid also loves Cheez Whiz, as he mentioned in an interview on ESPN last weekend when discussing the beards he and his team have been growing during the team’s last few games and postseason run. Dude actually said the worst thing about his beard was getting Cheez Whiz caught in it. Have you seen coach Reid lately? Dude is an inflated version of his former self, and I fear for the guy’s life because being that large is unhealthy to begin with. But when you throw in the fact that he is a football coach and probably works 20 hours a day during the season, sleeps little, doesn’t work out and eats really, really bad food, it’s the formula for a heart attack, diabetes and a whole host of other problems.

      No, I’m not a doctor, but I have high cholesterol and know a thing or two about how to live a healthy lifestyle. I also write a blog about NBC’s “The Biggest Loser” for Premium Hollywood, so I follow how folks like Erik a few seasons ago can lose like 200 pounds and win, and gain back years of their life. And Reid, lately especially, appears to be as large as some of the contestants on that show. The fact that he made the Cheez Whiz comment is all the proof we need without being a fly on his office wall.

      Add to this the fact that Reid has dealt with family problems the last 12 months, and his heart attack risk has to be even more prominent. Andy, I know you coach for a team I hate, but as a football fan and someone who cares about the well-being of other humans, I implore you……after the season ends, go on a diet, exercise, and make the time to apply to be on “The Biggest Loser.” Oh, and stop beating up my team in big games!
