Pro athletes news: Tony Parker and Eva, Apolo Ohno, Shaun White, Sopranos Nextel Cup car, Pro’s vs. Joes, Adam Scott
Before diving into today’s juice, I must first voice my opinion on Tony Parker and Eva Longoria. Every time I see them together, or interviewed, the media is asking Tony about a “putting a ring” on Eva’s finger. I once wrote that Tony was a deer caught in Eva headlights (no pun intended), he has the same look on his face each time he is seen with her. Do I think he is in love with her? No way. Tony is riding her wave while inching his way into the mainstream public. If Eva weren’t running around with Tony Parker’s name rhinestoned onto her jeans, his stock wouldn’t be nearly as high as it is. Eva has ushered this hot athlete into the Hollywood realm, acting as the best PR person Tony Parker could ask for (aside from me) and she comes with perks. How could this hot baller ignore one of the cutest and most beautiful women in the world who is literally throwing herself at his feet and boosting his ratings at the same time? He couldn’t and can’t. At least for now. Anyway, that’s my opinion. More power to ya Tony, I just wish your PR girl would have stopped you before you decided to make a terrible move and record your first French rap record.

The “French Rap” CD “THE TOP OF THE GAME,” can be heard when Tony makes his “San Antonio hip-hop nightclub debut” at Club Antro on Tuesday. The show is billed as “Tony Parker & Game Time Family featuring Fabolous.” (FABOLOUS is a N.Y.-based rapper). Listed as a “special guest” for the premier is Ms. PR herself. The video for Parker’s first song makes me cringe just thinking about it. It includes Spurs teammates ROBERT HORRY, TIM DUNCAN, BRENT BARRY and NAZR MOHAMMED. I have no problem with hot athletes acting or modeling, but making a “French Hip Hop” CD and a video with your teammates? What the hell are you thinking Tony? And Mensa points are deducted for fellow teammates who appear in the video. Just because hip-hop and basketball go hand in hand, doesn’t mean you should commingle the two. An Athlebrity meltdown is looming.
Have I mentioned that Apolo Ohno is hot?

This sexy short track speed skater needs some Athlebrity love. Apolo Ohno has so far won a 1,000-meter Bronze Medal in Turin.

His agent, Janey Miller, said that she typically does not focus on fitting endorsement deals into certain categories for Ohno. Miller: “The endorsement and marketing relationships we choose for Apolo are driven by his unique appeal to certain market demographics and personality characteristics. Apolo has demonstrated incredible appeal to the young, aggressive and trendy or hip markets (that’s us Athlebrity lovers) but he is also surprisingly well recognized and respected by the older demographics as well. That said, he loves cars and technology!” Ohno currently does not have deals in either of those categories and may want to call Eva for some help. Ohno’s Athlebrity endorsement deals include Coca Cola, McDonalds, GE Healthcare, Hilton Hotels (which room Ohno?) Roots, and Landroller skates. Ohno’s agent continued: “He [went] into Turin as a well-recognized favorite. People identified with his competitiveness, his success, his sportsmanship and his style in Salt Lake, and all of that raises his marketing profile and opportunities…my main goal is to ensure that I represent Apolo to potential corporate sponsors as the true individual that he is. What we look for is a company that understands and appreciates Apolo’s unique charisma and personal qualities as much as his athletic accomplishments.” We ditto that statement here and hope to see this hot athlete showcasing his hot charisma off the ice, and preferably topless.
Ba-da-bing….HBO’s “The Sopranos” will sponsor Richard Childress Racing’s No. 07 Nextel Cup Chevrolet in the UAW-DaimlerChrysler 400 at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on March 12. The race sponsorship is part of HBO’s marketing campaign to promote the Sopranos season premiere, which will air the same night at 9:00pm ET.

The show’s logo will appear on the hood and quarter panels of the car and the Bada Bing logo will be on the rear quarter panel. The pit crew’s uniforms will include a patch advertising Satriale’s Pork Store, and a pistol. If the driver does not win the race…he may want to move to Sicily and meet up with Furio?
US Olympic Athlebrity poster child, Gold Medal-winning snowboarder Shaun White will join CNN’s “Robin & Company” tomorrow morning as an honorary member of the show’s team. Robin Meade will interview White, who will also be involved in weather reports, entertainment segments, and possibly sports updates Word of advice young man-slow it down. You don’t want to end up with Athlebrity burn out- most recently evidenced by Andy Roddick. (sorry Andy, you know I love ya.)
Blast from the past…John Rocker. This super cheesy former major league pitcher and well-known Mensa reject is competing is the Spike TV series “Pros vs. Joes”.

CHEESEBALL ROCKER
This show features Athlebrities competing against average Joe’s. If you remember John Rocker, and all the bigoted moronic statements he made while playing, then you might just wanna take a swing at him. A lineup of nine regular New York sports fans who called in randomly to 1050 ESPN Sports Radio New York will get three swings off of controversial former hottie who will be available for interviews. Grasping at straws to promote the show, Spike TV will also be handing out John Rocker-autographed baseballs, well suited for an “E-bay buy now for $9.99.” The series premieres Monday, March 6 at 10:00pm ET/PT on Spike TV. Other hot Pros athletes featured include that dancing fool Jerry Rice, Herschel Walker, Bo Jackson, and favorite reality show reject and nasty hot Dennis Rodman.

Finally, the hottest athlete to sport anything plaid is Adam Scott. I shoved him down your throat yesterday, and will do so again right now.

The hot Aussie was eliminated today from the Accenture Match Play Tournament at La Costa. Hottie rolled out of bed late yesterday after not receiving his wake-up call. This morning, he rolled out of bed late again but looked superb in a plaid Burberry shirt and perfectly fitted pants- sexy golf gloves teasing me from his back pocket. It was all I could do to maintain composure each time he walked by.

There was a writer from Golf something-or-the-other running around like a chicken with his head cut off. “I need to find a story,” he kept saying. I wanted to tell him the story was right in front of his face. The throngs of females, hooched out in true groupie fashion, were running in their heels to catch a glimpse of this unbelievably hot gift to golf. Adam Scott may not know it yet, but he has a solid female fan base aptly summed up by one female spectator who yelled “Adam will you marry me”. I wanted to say “step off sista he’s mine” but I didnt. I did however, make eye contact with him, which filled my head with naughty thoughts about giving him my own wake-up call.
That’s it for today. I wont be posting tomorrow due to chasing the hotties.
As always, thanks for reading. Delinda
