This just in (4PM PST) Anthony Carter gets caught “drunk-driving” again!
Here is the press release in it’s entirety…Minnesota Timberwolves guard Anthony Carter was arrested early Friday on suspicion of drunken driving and was being held in the Hennepin County jail. Carter was stopped near downtown Minneapolis by officers who noticed him driving erratically about 2:17 a.m., police spokesman Ron Reier said. Carter failed field sobriety tests and eventually tested at 0.17 blood alcohol content, above Minnesota’s 0.08 limit for driving, Reier said. Because Carter had a previous DWI in California within the last 10 years, he faces a gross misdemeanor charge, Reier said. Carter, a point guard who has started occasionally, is averaging 3.6 points and 2.4 assists per game. He issued a statement through his attorney, apologizing to the organization and owner Glen Taylor in particular.

“I want to minimize the distraction that this incident may cause my teammates and understand that this is my responsibility to deal with,” Carter said. Vice president Kevin McHale, in a statement issued by the team, said disciplinary action will be determined once details are made clear through the legal system. “We are extremely disappointed in Anthony Carter’s actions last night,” McHale said. “The Minnesota Timberwolves do not condone this type of behavior or any actions that negatively impact our franchise.”
So the first game of the WBC went over well, huh? A massive crowd of 5,193 attended the opening game of South Korea vs. Taiwan, at the Tokyo Dome. For those keeping track, Korea won 2-0.

However, Spring Training is here, and the hot athletes have checked in.

Can somebody please tell me what the hell Dusty Baker has been eating in the off-season?

In a surprise to MLB fans, Yogi Berra was thawed out and also checked in for Spring Training.

Nike has signed on as USA Basketball’s exclusive apparel outfitter through the ’08 Beijing Games. This may have something to do with the fact that Allen Iverson, the hottest Guard in the NBA, wasn’t invited to try out for the team. Iverson is a Reebok endorser. Coincidence or conspiracy theory? Well, you decide- the fact that no current endorser for Reebok is among the players invited might be a clue?

USA Basketball spokesperson Craig Miller said, “The integrity of the selection process and USA Basketball has never been based on our sponsorships. We’ve had Nike players when we were sponsored by Champion and Reebok. Allen being there in 2004 had nothing to do with Reebok being our sponsor.” Reebok VP/Marketing “We’re shocked (about Iverson not being selected), but we aren’t thinking conspiracy theory as footwear.” Nike has deals with 15 of the 22 players invited to try out, including Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Bruce Bowen, Brad Miller and Luke Ridnour. In addition, hot Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh endorse Nikes subsidiary Converse. Adidas, which recently purchased Reebok, is represented by Gilbert Arenas, hot Piston Chauncey Billups, Dwight Howard, Antawn Jamison and Shane Battier .

In a neck and neck race, both Anna Benson and Kendra Davis could cross the Darwin Awards finish line at the same time. Right now, its too close to call.
Crazy Kendra, the social nightmare and wife of hot baller Antonio Davis, made an entertaining guest last night during her appearance on CNBC’s “The Big Picture With Donny Deutsch.” She offered her first public comments in reference to “the” incident in Chigago when her hot hubby ran into the stands to “protect” her. Instead of taking this opportunity to show a an ounce of intelligence, sanity, or likeability, she made a complete ass out fo herself.

Kendra, in reference to the “fan” said he screamed “Antonio Davis is a pussy! Someone should break his fucking neck!” Interesting that no one else heard him “scream” these words. That’s because they are more commonly referred to as “auditory hallucinations.” When Deutsch asked Kendra if the fan knew Davis was her husband, she said, “He said he didn’t, but there were 12 girls in the row right behind him, all with pizza boxes spelling out A-N-T-O-N-I-O D-A-V-I-S. He had to have known.” Anyone who watched the game that night, or a video of the incdient, or who attended the game, or is alive, cant remember the “12 girls.” Hence, a “visual” hallucination by Kendra. Is she on meds yet?

Fans of hot Chad Pennington, relax, he is still a Jet, for now.

Pennington has gotten a three-day rest from negotiations thanks to the NFL’s decision to extend the start of free agency. Because a Collective Bargaining Agreement has not yet been reached the league and Players Association yesterday made 12:01 a.m. Monday the new start to free agency, instead of 12:01 a.m. today. That means the two sides now have until 6 p.m. Sunday to come to an agreement. Despite the drastic reduction in his salary, multiple sources insist that Pennington’s desire to remain with the Jets is too strong to allow himself not to come to a deal.

Hot, hot, hot tennis players are giving us a show in Dubai.
Sexy, top-seeded Roger Federer beat some Russian hottie Friday to reach the Dubai Open final, moving closer to his third straight title of the season. The top-notch Swiss treat will meet either second-seeded, hottie Rafael Nadal or Rainer Schuettler of Germany, who play later today. The seven-time Grand Slam champion Federer is aiming for a fourth straight Dubai title. He is hot again this year- at 16-0 after winning the Australian and Doha Opens.

Federer, who broke the Russian in the second game. “It was windy out there and I was missing a lot of first serves. But as long as I play the point well, I really don’t mind. I just asked myself to concentrate and picked up my game in the second set…It is not possible to play your best tennis all the time. You rarely play your best tennis,” Federer said. “All I want to do is play good, solid, tough tennis most of the time. I was very happy with my game today, and I think it was a good match.”

Hopefully, neither Federer nor Nadal will follow the same post Athlebrity road that Bjorn Borg has. The Swedish tennis great will auction off his five Wimbledon trophies and two of his rackets to achieve “financial security,” an auction house said Friday. Extremely hot in his time, Borg won six French Open titles before retiring at the age of 26, and is the only athlete to win five consecutive Wimbledon titles. He will put his trophies on the auction block at the Bonhams auction house in London on June 21. The trophies, which will be sold together, are expected to fetch between $350,000 and $525,000, Bonhams said.

Borg said he is selling the memorabilia to improve his personal economy, in other words, he’s broke. “Obviously, it is not easy to part with the trophies that symbolize all the tremendous effort, both physically and emotionally, that it took to win Wimbledon on five occasions,” he said in a statement. “However, I do need to have some long-term financial security for those close to me.” Also up for grabs….the rackets he used in an unforgettable grueling five-set victory over John McEnroe in his last final and the racket he used to win his first title in 1976. Since his career ended, Borg has been plagued by several failed financial ventures, including a company that marketed clothing under his name. According to the Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet, the legal battle stemming from the failed company is still ongoing. The newspaper reported Friday that a creditor is planning to sue Borg for $1.4 million next month. “Even though the symbols of my victories are being sold, what I will always retain is the knowledge that for such a long period I was the supreme world tennis champion,” Borg said.

Ya gotta love the Palms Casino Resort. Why? Because it features a two-level, 10,000-square-foot Hardwood Suite that includes a half basketball court and scoreboard. Those who rent the $25,000-a-night suite can order customized jerseys and cheerleaders. I have put in an inquiry as to whether or not you can order customized hot athletes to fill those jerseys.

Fact or photoshop?
Checking out the competition this morning, I found this beautiful Athlebrity worthy framable photo. According to Deadspin.com, the Bryan-College Station Eagle paper on Thursday printed this fabulous error by an editor who didn’t scrutinize the photo quite closely enough. Obviously, the editor is not a fan of hot ballers?

Hot pro golfer Geoff Ogilvy shook up our libidos and the golf world recently after securing the trophy at World Golf Championships Match Play Tournament in La Costa. I have been blogging about his hotness, stellar athletic skills and friendly, colorful personality being the perfect fit for his recent endorsement deal with Puma.

The 28-year old was sporting some of the new collection during the tournament, and looked as hot as his swing did. “Puma created a collection for golfers that truly meets their performance needs,” said Geoff Ogilvy. “Not only does the collection provide me with technical benefits and comfort I want, but Puma offers a style and look that allows me to make a statement that fits my fashion sense.”

Aside from Adam Scott, Ogilvy was the only hottie on the course sporting an unexpected, sexy, modern look traditionally not seen in the conservative world of golf. For those of you keeping tabs, during the five-day tournament, Ogilvy was seen wearing: The PG GTX spikes allowed for a close-to-the-ground feel, (love being close to the ground), Puma’s Golf Pants featuring pin tuck details on the center front legs (great spot to be) and knee darts for articulation and ease of his sexy swing. And belive it or not, the straight golfer accessorized! His black belt, which features the Puma cat on the buckle, kept me purring for hours, and the golf polo shirt in pink, fresh salmon and crystal blue hypnotized me. Watch for hottie beginning on March 18th, when he will star in the company’s first global golf television and print advertising campaign with Puma’s first female professional golfer, Erica Blasberg. Word-up Erica-next round of golf, make sure to request Craig or Rodney as escorts-they know how to make a girl feel special.

Reebok vs Nike? The shoe wars continue.

Lebron James slipped twice in the first quarter in Wednesday’s loss to the Kings and also lost traction several times in Monday’s home game with the red hot Pistons. Could it be the shoes? King LeBron took off his Nike Zoom LeBron III shoes during the Kings game and put on an older Nike model that came out last summer. Oddly enough, he didn’t slip anymore.
James: “It wasn’t the shoes. I just slipped three or four times so I needed some more grip.” James was back in the Zoom LeBron III on Thursday.

When told about Kings G Francisco Garcia spraining his ankle, James said, “It was probably those Reeboks he had on.”

That’s it for today. As always, thanks for reading. Delinda
