A New Jersey mother who appeared  on “Wife Swap” has been charged with wounding her husband by stabbing him.  The woman, who swapped with a tattooed freak show performer, is a former Miss Teen New Jersey .  She claims she stabbed her husband  in self defense when he got jealous of a phone call from a “mutual male friend.”

I’m not sure if stories like this do more to debunk the theory of intelligent design or that of evolution.-

Minnesota Vikings Coach Brad Childress says to “stay tuned” with the situation with Brett Favre.   “Stay tuned?”  It’s like we’re all watching a ghastly reality show and are unable to change the channel.

Speaking of unreal –

The Orlando Magic hit 1 of 6 crucial freethrows down the stretch.  It was enough to make their fans miss the clutch foul shooting of  Shaquille O’Neal.

New beer drinking toast in Green Bay – “May your troubles last as long as Brett Favre’s retirements”

Cameron Diaz said in an interview that she only wants to date a guy who has “already dealt with his issues.” Is this her way of saying she is becoming a lesbian?

The University of Alabama must forfeit 21 football wins after an investigation revealed players were obtaining free textbooks to give or sell to other students.   What was the investigators’ first clue?  That the football players were getting textbooks.

At least this is one scandal that probably won’t hit NCAA basketball teams.  No one expects any of these one-and-done players to even pick up a textbook.

The one-and-done phenomenon is because high school players have to wait a year before joining the NBA. Thus they may play on a college team for one season, but don’t really become a part of the team or university.  In addition the process is full of academic and monetary scandals. 

Several theories have been advanced to fix the problem, from switching to the baseball model (once you are drafted you must stay in school until your junior year or until you are 21) to a higher NBA age limit,  to requiring underage players to play in a developmental league.  Either that or requiring them to play for the Wizards or Clippers.

The now former Miss California, Carrie Prejean, was fired by Donald Trump for neglecting her duties.  This is shocking.  Miss California has duties?

Or – a better punchline from the very funny Alex Kaseberg:  Prejean said she didn’t mean to blow off her duties, the wind just blew them away.

And speaking of funny people, this from Bill Littlejohn:

Rumors have it that Bill Belichick is going to marry long-time companion Linda Holliday.He’s already ordered a tuxedo with a hood on it”
