– Sorry I missed it! Miami Beach tennis retiree Anna Kournikova got into a fight in Las Vegas over the weekend, the kind of fight not sanctioned by the WBC. The beautiful Ms. K was partying in the nightclub Lavo inside The Palazzo Resort when, according to the New York Post, an unidentified woman threw a drink at the Russian hottie for “invading her space.” A shoving match ensued, but the woman was kicked out before inflicting more damage to Kournikova, who’s nursing scratches to her neck. Invading someone’s private space? How so Commie!
– And it sounds like West Palm Beach Olympic swimming hero Dara Torres may be on her way to becoming a gay icon. NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg had a bunch of gay activists over at Gracie Mansion last week when he invited everyone to play a Hollywood Squares-style game, according to the New York Daily News. One question: Which lesbian athlete has a New York sports facility named after her? One player blurted out Torres’ name. Trust me on this, people. Torres is as hetero as they come. She broke up not too long ago a long-term relationship with the fertility doctor who treated her and her ex husband, WPB surgeon Itzhak Shasha. And then she seemed enthralled with Marley and Me star Owen Wilson in April at the recent Sony Ericsson. The answer to Hizzoner’s question, btw: Billie Jean King, of course!

– And if this wasn’t so darn gaudy, it’d be funny. You won’t believe the party favors for the 450-or so guests at Boca resident and Boston Red Sox owner John Henry’s wedding at Fenway Saturday night. First, according to the Boston Herald, there was a silver-framed picture of the lovebirds — the half-his-age-bride is suburban Boston developer Linda Pizzuti — posing by the Green Monster with a World Series trophy. And the icing on this cake: The newlyweds also distributed bobblehead figures of themselves! Sheesh, Henry’s been spending too much time in Boca.
This is the same guy who used to own the Marlins — pocketed millions and millions of Yankee revenue sharing money - then got a millions in loans from commissioner friend Bud - then wins the Red Sox franchise bidding even without the highest bid!
Who organized the affair - the late Rodney Dangerfield?
The Yankees have 26 World Series trophies to trod out for events — SAUX are so new to winning that they have no practice been classy.
People in Boston thought it was Marvin Hamlisch and Courtney Cox. And also thought, very tacky… He’s finally brought us some Championships but he seems a wierd guy!
Yep, the Yankees are a fine lot. George S, Billy M, Whitey, Mickey, Giambi, Clemens, Steve Howe, David Cone, A-Rod, etc., all showed how classy the Yankmes are. Drunks, womanizers, cheaters, all.
Well, the only way the Yankees were able to have opponents to play was if they helped subsidize most of them because of the disparity in market size between the Yankees and most other teams. Hence the need for revenue sharing. Don’t think for a moment that the Yankee franchise hasn’t propered during that timeframe. It has.
It’s only bone-headed management (by the Yankees front office) over the last several years, coupled with very astute management of some of the other franchises, that has caused the change in fortunes for the Yankees.
Kournikova fight-
Your right Jose, “invading someones space, how so commie”. Anna you have to watch out for those liberals, they don’t have any tolerance when their space is invaded, physically or intellectually.
When that happens the only response they know is to verbally or physically assault their opponent. They are all id with no self control, kind of like a child. That’s it, liberals never emotionally evolve into adults.
Re:Drunks, womanizers, cheaters, all.
Sounds like a night at a club in Boca Raton!!!!
Sounds like our boy Scotty got his feelings hurt by a “liberal” and his only response was to verbally assault his opponent. Thanks to you and your kind for screwing up the world, Scotty. Don’t worry though, we’ll fix it. Despite your worst efforts.
