Barkley for governor - wants no help from Al and Jesse

Charles Barkley has announced that he definitely plans to run for governor of Alabama. However, he is looking for no help from Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. In a recent interview
with Playboy he expressed that he felt Sharpton and Jackson both play the race card too often:

"I don't believe in them. They always play the race card, and you can't always play the race card. Sometimes the race card is needed but not in every situation. We have to hold blacks more accountable for their actions."

While I agree with the statement, I'm not sure how wise to completely write off Jesse and Al. I respect his conviction, but I mean, damn Charles. You better watch your back! You are still green in the political world. Is it smart to start offending people so soon?

Pregnant Mike Tyson fails to avoid controversy

Damn, lil Mikey looks like he is about 8 months preggars!

Tyson is currently touring South Africa and will a celebrity commentator at a boxing event on this Saturday.

In a country with one of the highest rates of rape, many women's groups in South Africa have protested Tyson being celebrated and honored in the country. In 1991 Tyson served a three-year sentence for the rape of an 18-year-old beauty queen in the United States.

Organizers of the event he attended Wednesday night promised he would make a statement denouncing violence against women. However, he never addressed the issue, made a brief statement about how nice it was to be in South Africa and took his seat next to Winnie Madikizela-Mandela.

In summation, Mike Tyson is pregnant ... but still a prick.

Tiger "ok" with lynching comment but Al Sharpton is not

Golf announcer Kelly Tilghman has apologized for her insensitive racial remarks. Tiger Woods has forgiven her. The Golf Channel has suspended Tilghman for 2 weeks.

It's never that simple.

Tiger may have let Tilghman's comment slide, but Al Sharpton busted out the "Hell-to-the-Nah" stamp on this one!


On Wednesday, CNN reported that Sharpton compared Tilghman's "lynching comment" to calling for a woman to be raped or for a Jewish-American to be sent to a gas chamber.

Sharpton said he wants Tilghman fired, period. And if the Golf Channel doesn't comply, the network can expect to see Sharpton and his National Action Network supporters picketing its Orlando, Florida, headquarters.

Yikes! That's some boiling water right there. And Tilghman is the lobster about to get served...

Say Whaaat?!

Golf Channel anchor Kelly Tilghman has apologized after saying during Friday's telecast of the PGA Tour's opening event that today's young players should "lynch Tiger Woods in a back alley."

In a statement issued Monday, Tilghman said: "On Friday during our golf broadcast, Nick Faldo and I were discussing Tiger's dominance in the golf world and I used some poorly chosen words. I have known Tiger for 12 years and I have apologized directly to him. I also apologize to our viewers who may have been offended by my comments."

No problem, right tiger?!

Mark Steinberg, Woods' agent, issued a statement declaring the uproar regarding lynching and the first black golfer to win a major title was not a major concern.

"This story is a non-issue," Steinberg said. "Tiger and Kelly are friends and Tiger has a great deal of respect for Kelly. Regardless of the choice of words used we know unequivocally that there was no ill-intent in her comments.

"This story is a non-issue in our eyes. Case closed."

I dunno Tiger. You might be my fellow mixed nut, but I would have to shoot the side eye on this one...
