New York Tabloids have recently linked starlet Kate Hudson to Yankee star Alex Rodriguez. Rumor has it that the reason that A-Rod has been missing games with a case of “fatigue” is because he’s been burning the midnight oil with Hudson. That’s gotta piss off New Yorkers seeing as how the Yankees are paying Rodriguez 33 million dollars and everyone knows that for half that amount they could distract Hudson with some shitty B movie (where she’ll probably show her boobs) and let A-Rod focus on whipping the Red Sox.

The NBA Draft just became a whole lot more crowded today - and college basketball in the state of North Carolina just suffered a major blow.

What does running the storied New York Knicks franchise into the ground get you? A head coaching job at an obscure Sun Belt Conference program in South Florida, apparently. Hall of Fame point guard and former Knicks president and head coach Isiah Thomas has accepted the head coaching position at Florida International, the school announced today.

Here are some Jennifer Barretta Pictures. With these, I guess we all win.
