New Brady Stories -- Knee Jerk Reaction
There are reports out there that Tom Brady may not play next season because his recovery from knee surgery is behind schedule. We beg to differ.
A source directly connected with Brady's treatment tells us it's actually the opposite. "He's ahead of schedule, he's doing great."
Our source is not a BS'er ...

Macho Camacho: Nacho Dinero
Former boxing Champ Hector "Macho" Camacho Sr. claims his ex-GF raided his bank account and now wants Wachovia Securities to foot the bill.
According to a federal lawsuit filed in Mississippi, Bonita Money (Bonita translates in English to "pretty") convinced Wachovia to transfer $125,000 from Hector's account to Bonita's B of A account, and Wachovia happily obliged.
The suit claims Hector never authorized the transfer and that Wachovia is responsible for the alleged fraud.
Hector wants a heck of a lot more than the 125 -- he's suing for a cool $1 mil.
By the way Nice Money is doing hard time for burglary and kidnapping her estranged hubby.
Romo's Popped Cartilage Makes Yoko Run
As if totally choking in the biggest game of the season weren't bad enough, Tony Romo had to have Jessica "Yoko" Simpson rush to his side to help him with a little popped-out cartilage.
Yes, that's apparently what happened in the shower Sunday night when Romo collapsed, alarming his teammates and, according to People, bringing Delilah Simpson rushing to his aid, which no doubt amused the teammates. The Dallas Morning News says it was some cartilage that "popped out of place twice" that caused Romo to go down.
Not, obviously, the opposition's defensive rush.
Brady Could Have Bunch of Errand Time in '09
Gisele Bundchen may have plenty of help around the house next year too.
That's because NBC Sports is reporting Tom Brady could be out for the 2009 season as well, as his recovery from knee surgery isn't going as well as expected. Regardless, the paps caught Brady and Giz "celebrating" something the other night in New York, just as his Patriots were going down in flames thanks to the New York Jets.
Other football sources are refuting the news of Brady's slow recovery -- in fact one reporter says he's ahead of schedule -- but whispers are this could be a ploy on the Pats' part to get more bucks for Brady's backup Matt Cassel.
Speed Freak Danica Patrick Busted Again
Indy race car driver Danica Patrick has yet to learn that the funny little pedal on the left is the brake.
Cops confirm Patrick was busted earlier this month in Scottsdale, Ariz. for driving 54 in a 35 -- 19 over the speed limit -- which bested her last run-in with the fuzz where she was going 57 in a 40 -- only 17 over.
Danica received a citation and is due in court at the beginning of January.

When NBA Stars Do Awesome Things...
Judging from the footage we shot in Hollywood over the weekend, it seems like Los Angeles Lakers star Lamar Odom hasn't forgotten about the little people -- and when you're 6'10", that includes just about everyone.
Dude was in his car, about to drive home for the night, when a fired up basketball fan begged for a pic. Odom didn't just let the guy shoot, he stopped the car, got out -- and posed with everybody.

If you wanna get into the prestigious University of Southern California, you're going to have to compete for admission spots with some of the brightest people in the country -- and a bunch of dumbass football players.

He was definitely talkin' the talk -- but until Michael Strahan waltzes the waltz in some magenta sequined onsies, the former NFL star probably shouldn't refer to "Dancing with the Stars" as "too easy."

Another Thorn in Roger Clemens' Backside
The Mitchell report strikes again -- The Roger Clemens Institute for Sports Medicine is dropping the star pitcher's tarnished name.
Although Clemens donated $3 million for a pediatric wing, the hospital is changing its name to "Memorial Hermann Sports Medicine Institute", in order to "better reflect its commitment to all sports and athletes."
Clemens still denies using performance-enhancing drugs, and according to hospital reps he "remains committed to working with us to champion youth sports and develop aspiring baseball players."

Plax -- More Guns = More Legal Trouble

They also say cops took bloody black jeans and sneakers which are going to be part of the DA's investigation into the case.

Plaxico Slapped for Rear-Ending Woman
Before he shot himself up in a NYC club, Plaxico Burress allegedly rear-ended a Florida woman's car -- and didn't have insurance.
Plax was sued last week in Broward County by a woman who says she got back and neck injuries after a May 16 car crash involving the Giant's $140,000 Benz. What's worse, she says she's got proof Burress' insurance expired three days before the crash because he hadn't paid the premium.
