CAMILO VILLEGAS & JUAN PABLO MONTOYA
My East Coast Camilo Villegas correspondent has shared some yummy Villegas news coming outta Columbia. Over the weekend, Elena reports that our kitty was at the Club San Andrés alongside sexy driver Juan Pablo Montoya.

The ‘Sonrisas’ Formula, or the Formula Smiles Foundation is what brought these two hotties together for a good cause. Aside from giving us a surge of estrogen, the foundation is dedicated to improving the lives of children in Columbia. When asked what it means for him to return to Columbia to play, Camilo replied: “I am very contented to be in the country. Ever since I became professional I have not had the opportunity to play here. Hopefully that the match comes out well and that people amuse themselves.” Better yet, Camilo was asked about his physical condition: “Yes I have been two weeks without practicing, but I am very active in the gymnasium. The objective is to raise five kilos in this free time to begin to play again.” Meow…my heartbeat just raised about 100 kilos with the thought of Camilo in the ‘gymnasium’…the full article, in Spanish, can be read here.

TOM BRADY ‘LADY’ VIDEO

In my opinion, the best thing to happen to YouTube is BradyFan83. If this fantastic and creative video-making god has slipped by you, I feel the need to make sure you watch his videos and laugh your ass off as hard as I did. The beauty of BradyFan83’s videos are in his lyrics. His tribute to Tom Brady is sung to the tune of Kenny Rogers ‘Lady’ and worthy of an Academy Award. His two other videos are just as apropos. The Emmit Smith: Born to Dance clip is priceless, as his Randy Moss spot sung to the tune of Barry Manilow’s ‘Mandy’. All three of BradyFan83’s videos have been added to the Athlebrities group on YouTube. And due to his flawless and spot-on praise of Tom Brady, BradyFan83 has been declared the winner of the Tom Brady Fathead. Take a cue from this astute and creative mystery beast and pray that he delivers us a Villegas or Nadal clip soon. And hopefully one day, Bradyfan83 will record an album for us…

MICHAEL VICK FLIPS OFF THE WORLD

“That’s not what I’m about. That’s not what the Atlanta Falcons are about. I simply lost my cool in the heat of the moment” – Michael Vick, in a statement issued by the team, after flipping off fans as he was walking off the field yesterday. I don’t think I need to elaborate much more on this incident, except to confirm that Michael Vick has now earned his star on the Mensa reject list.

THE NFL NEEDS TO STOP WINING

I find it really interesting that the NFL has warned Elk Creek Vineyards Owner Curtis Sigretto “to stop marketing” Jungle Juice wine, which has label graphics resembling the stripes on the Bengals helmets. The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Sigretto said that he “had shown the concept to team officials” in September, but the NFL “doesn’t want to have anything to do with the marketing of wines and didn’t like the labels.” Sigretto said that the league “is allowing him to sell the remaining product, but the revamped labels won’t have” the stripes. Seems to me that the NFL needs to pull their heads outta the bottles and get their marketing rules straight…how is Jungle Juice not acceptable, but Mike Ditka can sell Da Coach and Ditkas Kick Ass Reds without problems? (see post November 14th).

DON’T DRINK AND SKI

The U.S. Ski & Snowboard Association has instituted new policies in which staff and athletes “no longer are allowed to drink alcohol together” and no alcohol consumption will be allowed at team hotels. Hotties will also be required to stay in team hotels during official training camps and competitions. They can use their RVs between competitions, but the athletes will be with the team during competitions, subject to the stricter alcohol guidelines. Could this have been sparked by reject extraordinaire Bode Miller? USSA VP/Marketing Communications Tom Kelly said that it would be “‘naïve to say that it wasn’t’ at least partly a response to what happened” at the Turin Games. Bode’s agent Lowell Taub, said that Bode still “plans to use a trailer motor home.”

BREAKFAST WITH SCOT

Mad props to the non-homophobic endeavors of the NHL and the Maple Leafs. Both have given filmmakers “their blessing to use their logos and uniforms” in the upcoming movie “Breakfast with Scot,” in which actor Tom Cavanaugh will play a gay former Maple Leaf. The club has even agreed to allow “filming with them at the end of a practice next month.” However, the CBC’s Don Cherry said, “I know that [NHL Commissioner] Gary Bettman wanted a kinder and gentler league, but this is too much.” And with that quote, Don Cherry joins the ranks of the upper echelon of Mensa rejects.
