Team USA
The problem with comparing a budding team who has yet to win the Big Dance to a team that not only won the Big Dance but won the Big Dance on several changes and have risen to iconic status because of their awesome play, is that the new team is bound to disappoint. Why were we (and by “we” I mean the media) comparing this World Cup Finals team to that of the legendary Mia Hamm and crew BEFORE they actually won the World Cup? Not smart as this version of Team USA got their asses handed to them lost to Japan in what’s being called the “Kick Heard Around the World.” Hubris is a mother.
NFL Lockout Day: Oh Who the Hell is Still Counting
Looks like the NFL Lockout may be nearing it’s end (Hooray!!!!). Seems like most of the big items are ironed out and their are just some minor details left to iron out. From the Business Insider Sports Page:
“…the consensus over the last few days has been that most of the major issues – including the player/owner revenue split and new free agency rules – have been sorted out. Owners meetings are scheduled for Thursday and key team employees have been ordered to attend, so that they can immediately learn all the new rules should the deal go through.”
Personally I don’t think anyone involved is willing to lose 9billion dollars ’cause folk couldn’t play nice at the negotiating table. It’s tame to play ball already. Let’s get it!
In WTF News: Tiger Woods Former Bottom Bitch Mistress, Rachel Uchitel Gives $10 Million Hush Money Back
Yeah..I know you read that headline and was like…err? But yeah according to TMZ that’ sexactly what happened. I’ll let them explain the details and I will comment after:
We’ve learned the agreement stated … if Rachel violated the confidentiality clause … she would not only have to return the money she received but Tiger could sue her for damages as well.
Sources tell TMZ … several months ago Tiger’s lawyer, Jay Lavely, contacted Gloria and said they were going after Rachel because they believed she violated the confidentiality agreement by allegedly speaking with TMZ and going on “Celebrity Rehab” to treat her “addiction to love” — though she never talked specifically about Tiger on the show.
We’re told Rachel felt strongly she had not violated the agreement, but Gloria allegedly convinced her she would lose if push came to shove, so Gloria struck a deal with Lavely — that Rachel would return the lion’s share of the settlement money.
But our sources say … what has Rachel fuming is that Gloria allegedly made a deal with Jay Lavely — that Gloria would still get all of her attorney’s fees. Rachel believes Gloria sold her out … allegedly making a deal with Tiger’s lawyer to strong-arm Rachel into giving the money back and in return Gloria would get her fee — a fee Gloria would not have received if Rachel went to arbitration and lost.
We’re told Rachel went along with the deal, but as time went on she felt she had gotten screwed, and then hired a malpractice lawyer who has made a demand on Gloria to either pay Rachel what she gave back or get sued.
Sources tell TMZ … Rachel’s lawyer has given Gloria a deadline, and if Gloria doesn’t ante up … a legal malpractice lawsuit will be filed.
WOW. Why do I find this so amusing? Let’s be real a good lawyer may be able to argue that while Uchitel never said Tiger’s name her involvement in vearious activities, commercials, posing nude (that was kaboshed) and Celebrity Rehab could be construed as violating the confidentiality agreement.
But an equally good lawyer (and we’re assuming Allred is at least that) could argue “bullshit” and say this is just buyers remorse on the part of Woods and that her client did nothing wrong and tell the other side to go fuck themselves. But that’s not what Allred did – she made a back end deal and forced encouraged her client to punt, and that deal could cost her some money in the end, and possibly her license. Hmm…this oughta be interesting.
