Evander Holyfield Grabs a Bite

Published | Updated

But, man, was he all about that airport food.

Plaxico's Backup Gets Plugged, Too

Published | Updated

Maybe the NY Giants should consider a little Kevlar in their unis: Plaxico Burress' backup just got shot. Yes, in the leg. No, not by his own gun.

Cops in Decatur, Ga. say Taye Biddle, who joined the Jints from the practice squad when Plax was suspended, was outside a house in Decatur, Ga. when he was shot twice, in the leg and in the hand. A friend tells the Decatur Daily, "He ought to be fine."

No arrests have been made, and cops don't think Biddle caused or provoked the shooting.

Brady's Warning -- Keep Gisele Out of Your Mouth

Published | Updated

Tom Brady is finally ready to open to the media up about his life ... with one major catch: You bring up Gisele, he's unleashing hell.

Last night, Brady finally agreed to give his first radio interview since busting up his knee, but sources at ESPN claim the Patriots QB warned the Toronto station "certain topics -- including girlfriend Gisele Bundchen -- were off limits."

As far as the actual interview, Brady blathered on about a bunch of meaningless nonsense ... like his knee, and his rehab, and the Patriots' ownership situation ... and other things of the non-supermodel related ilk.

But if you care, he says his rehab is "going really well."

Famous Jockey Has Serious Race Issues

Published | Updated

One of the world's most famous jockeys is more pissed than a race horse -- claiming he's been saddled with an unfair suspension for allegedly trying to screw up a race.

Corey Nakatani was suspended for three days after a January 15th race at Santa Anita in which he allegedly "failed to put forth his best effort to maintain a straight course" -- in other words, he's accused of intentionally trying to cut off another horse.

Now, Nakatani has filed a lawsuit against the California Horse Racing Board claiming the ruling is total horse s**t -- and that his suspension is "illegal, erroneous, not in the best interest of racing, and violates [Nakatani's] right to pursue his livelihood."

Nakatani is asking the court to issue a stay of the board's ruling, pending a hearing, so Nakatani may continue to race. His suspension is scheduled to begin Friday -- this might be a photo finish.

No word if Howie, Curt and Barry Switzer had other plans -- or just didn't get the invite.

T.O. Compares Trade Rumors to Bear Feces

Published | Updated

"Does a bear sh*t in the woods?" If so, then Terrell Owens definitely was implying that he's sticking around the Dallas Cowboys for awhile.

Despite an ESPN report suggesting he's on the outs in Big D, the NFL's most loved/hated wide receiver offered a rhetorical response to a photog at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend when asked if he was going to stay in Dallas.

As T.O. continued to party hop around Park City -- with cup in hand -- another fan says, "Come back to the Cowboys, we need you." Owens' response: "I haven't left."

... yet.

D-Wade Fouled by Ex-Wife

Published | Updated

Denise Richards could take lessons from the wife of Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade when it comes to the airing of dirty laundry.

According to docs from recent divorce proceedings Siohvaughn, Wade's soon-to be-ex wife, has a few minor complaints which include child abandonment, adultery, and the case of a nasty little STD infection she allegedly received from him.

She also alleges their one-year-old doesn't even recognize the baller because he's been so absent from the two kids they share. Siohvaughn is demanding the names of every one of his alleged sexual partners during their marriage, and it's no secret that actress Gabrielle Union -- Wade's rumored GF -- could possibly end up on that list.

According to the Miami Hearld, Wade's lawyer claims all allegations are false.

Tom Brady Hitches a Ride

Published | Updated

He plays for New England, but Tom Brady has plenty of Authority in NYC ... Port Authority.

After swapping phone numbers with fellow Michigan alum Jalen Rose inside the terminal at JFK, Gisele's errand boy was picked up in an official Port Authority van. The reason -- Tom flew in commercial, but was flying right back out on a private plane. It's normal for the Port Authority to shuttle people from one to the other.

Still, it's nice to see someone do something for him for a change.
