Shocking news hit the internet last night when it was announced that Lance Armstrong will be banned from cycling and stripped of his seven Tour de France titles. The U.S. Anti-Doping Agency is putting out the extreme punishment after finding out that Lance Armstrong is declining to fight all of the allegations,

“There comes a point in every man’s life when he has to say, ’Enough is enough.’ For me, that time is now.” Armstrong said in a statement that was sent to the Associated Press.

“I have been dealing with claims that I cheated and had an unfair advantage in winning my seven Tours since 1999. The toll this has taken on my family and my work for our foundation and on me leads me to where I am today — finished with this nonsense.” Armstrong added.

The USADA is obviously not buying anything that comes out of Armstrong’s mouth and believes he started taking banned substances back in 1996,

“It is a sad day for all of us who love sport and athletes. It’s a heartbreaking example of win at all costs overtaking the fair and safe option. There’s no success in cheating to win.” USADA’s chief executive Travis Tygart said.

What a sad way to end your career, huh? Armstrong is smart to go with the “I just can’t take it anymore” excuse. He probably knows that sooner or later solid evidence would come out, so he probably wants to back out of the fight before he loses — even though it’s pretty clear that he has already lost.

He’s lost the respect of many fans and his seven Tour de France titles…oh and a testicle.

As the track and fields for the 2012 Olympics heats up, it reminds me of watching Michelle Jenneke for the first time getting ready for events.

It’s not just her beauty and her dancing that drew me into this talented young athlete but her energy and the love she shows for her sport and life in general.  She’s a great role model for the young  and for the old we need to remind ourselves of this inspiration that still exists in each and everyone of us, enjoy!

Mayweather and his lawyer put together a ridiculous petition stating Mayweather should be released from jail early. They claim he should be released early from his 87-day prison term because he’s wasting away and his career is going down the drain. A Nevada judge has responded to the petition and basically said, “Man the f**k up, bitch!”

The judge said in court yesterday that Mayweather’s supposedly withering physical state is “self-induced, as water is available 24 hours a day.” He also didn’t like Mayweather claiming he only consumes a few hundred calories a day. The judge pointed out that Floyd chooses not to eat the food provided.

You know, you kind of have to feel bad for him. He has to stay in great shape! How else will he continue beating women?

The WWE! Where you can kick and punch people in the balls, but if you mess with the Brazilian Flag…you’re outta here! Chris Jericho is in the doghouse after he did something incredibly stupid during a recent tour of South America.

The wrestling superstar was in a match against C.M. Punk, Punk brought a Brazilian Flag into the ring and Jericho grabbed it, crumpled it and tossed it away. Such desecration is a crime punishable by jail time in the country. The flag stunt was not something that was planned during the match and the police even confronted Jericho about it in the arena. Jericho grabbed a microphone and apologized, but the damage had already been done.

“Chris Jericho has been suspended indefinitely due to an irresponsible act of denigrating the Brazilian flag at a WWE event in Sao Paulo on May 24. The WWE has apologized to the citizens and the government of Brazil for this incident.” the organization said in a short statement.

As we told you yesterday, Peyton Manning was brought onboard the Denver Broncos, and because of this, we knew it was only a matter of time before Tim Tebow got the official boot. And, it has happened. Tim Tebow is officially a Jet!

The deal almost didn’t happen due to some ‘recapture language,’ which basically means that the Jets would owe the Broncs a pretty penny. But, the deal did come through… though not all are happy about it.

The fans, of course, are a bit confused, but it was the Jets’ cornerback, Antonio Cromartie, who has really gotten vocal about the trade, going to — where else? — Twitter to vent. Last night, Cromartie tweeted ‘We don’t need Tebow. We sell out every home game let him go to Jacksonville Tampa or Miami. Our wildcat offense can b ran by J. Kerley or Joe McKnight we straight.’ He later went on to say ‘I don’t know y. We have @Mark_Sanchez and jus signed Drew [Stanton]. Mark has taken us to 2 AFC championship game. We need to build on the team we have now.’

Then, after the deal was done, he added, ’Y  bring Tebow in when we need to bring in more Weapons for @Mark_Sanchez let’s build the team around him. We already signed to 3 year ext’.

What he means by that is that the Jets gave their starting QB, Mark Sanchez, a $40.5 million three year contract extension just earlier this month. Yet, now they’ve signed Tebow?

There’s been no word whether Sanchez will be knocked down for Tebow or if Tim will be manning the bench, but one thing is for sure. With the salary of $1.942 million in 2012, $2.266 million in 2013, and $2.590 million in 2014… Tebow sure won’t be suffering.

It seems that Tebow mania just wasn’t enough the keep the Broncos interested, because they just snagged themselves a new QB! Pat Bowlen, the Broncos owner, with John Elway made the announcement that Peyton Manning will, indeed, be rocking some orange.

So, what exactly does that mean? Well, it means that Tim Tebow just got kicked out on his a$$! Tebowing craze or not, Elway was honest during the announcement, stating that the Broncos just aren’t a ‘Super Bowl caliber team with Tim Tebow.’ So, to fix that problem, they decided to give Manning a whopping 96 mil for five years — which now makes him the highest paid player in the league!

And not only that, but Peyton will get to keep his number 18 — which should have been impossible because it was retired in the sixties for legendary quarterback Frank Tripucka. But, Tripucka himself personally asked for his jersey to be un-retired because he WANTED Manning to wear it.!

But… what happens to Tebow now? Well, Manning sure ain’t worried about it. He told the press that he wasn’t sure what was going to become of Tebow, but that he was going to be ‘the best teammate he can be’ whether Tim stays or not.

Elway confirmed that no discussions about trading Tebow have been started yet, but that it was highly probable that Tebow was going to be getting the boot… er, cleat. Whatever.

So, it’s official. But just where is he being shipped off to? Well, multiple teams have been reported to be trying to snag him, including the Jacksonville Jaguars, Miami Dolphins, Green Bay Packers, and New York Jets. Bottom line? Tebow will be Tebowing on another field.

The NBA All-Star game was played last night and the West managed to hold off a late surge by the East. The final score was 152-149, so you can clearly see that defense was not a top priority. Kobe Bryant managed to pass Michael Jordan for most All-Star game points; Kobe now has a total of 271 points. Kevin Durant won the MVP award with 36 points, which was just six points away from the All-Star game record.

But, who cares about all of that? Not me. The All-Star game is strictly there for entertainment purposes and you know it was pretty dang entertaining. Why was it entertaining? Was it because they played their hardest throughout the whole game and really battled it out? No. It was entertaining because of all the dunks! The All-Star game had better dunks in it than the actual Slam Dunk contest that took place the night before.

Why is that? Well, it’s because the top dogs who were playing in the All-Star game refuse to participate in the Slam Dunk contest. A lot of people say it’s because there is no incentive to compete in it. People say there needs to be a big cash prize for it, like a million dollars.

To me, that just sounds ridiculous. LeBron doesn’t need an extra million dollars, he can afford to take an hour out of his weekend to participate in the Slam Dunk contest. All-Star weekend is all about the fans! Players should want to do everything possible to entertain the fans. LeBron doesn’t want to be in the Slam Dunk contest because it needs an update!

The format is played out, the dunks are played out and the props are played out. However, we saw last night that dunks still can be really exciting. They were exciting because they were during a game, it was fast paced. Players were running up and down the court, alley-oop after alley-oop, it was truly exciting to watch.

That is what the Slam Dunk contest needs! They need to update it and change the format. West vs. East. You pick three players from the East and three from the West. They play against each other in a 10 minute quarter and only dunks will count as points, an alley-oop will count as a three pointer. At the end of the game, the public will vote on which team had the best dunks and they will get 10 points added to their final score.  The team that wins gets to donate $250,000 to the charity of their choice.

Problem solved.

Manny Ramirez was an embarrassment last year. He played only five games before retiring after he learned he had tested positive for a banned substance for the second time in his major league career. But, his skills started declining way before that. It looked like last year would be the last time Manny Ramirez would ever play Major League Baseball again, but now he is getting a second chance.

The Oakland Athletics have taken a bit of a risk (not that they have much to lose) and signed him on a minor league deal worth $500,000. However, Manny will have to sit out for the first 50 games of the season because of his second positive drug test. It was originally going to be 100 games, but he got it reduced to 50 games when he was reinstated.

Manny claims all of that is in his past,

“I thought I would lose my family and my career. It was not easy. … Sometimes when you don’t got God in your heart, you do stupid things without thinking about it. When you start going to church, it’s like you open your eyes and you realize it doesn’t matter how much money you have, nice house, nice cars. If you don’t have God in your heart, it doesn’t mean anything. Now I appreciate my family more, my kids and the game. I want to show my kids that when there’s problem, you can get up and fix it.”

Well, he is certainly saying all the right things, but has he really changed? Who knows. We’ll found out later this season, though. I have a hard time believing he will be able to contribute. He is only getting older…

Kevin Durant put on quite a show in Oklahoma City yesterday. Durant led Oklahoma to a win in overtime scoring 51 points! That is the most anyone has scored this season. His teammate, Russell Westbrook wasn’t too far behind, scoring 40 points. But, that is not all! Serge Ibaka had his first career triple-double; the three became the first teammates in NBA history to put together a 50-point night, a 40 point complementary effort and a triple-double. The last teammates to score at least 40 points apiece were Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen.

Pretty insane, right? Westbrook said: “It’s unreal, man. Tonight was a nice, epic game.” I hate the word, “epic” but they did have a pretty epic game. James Harden was equally as impressed saying: “Unbelievable. That’s probably one of the best regular season games that I’ve played since I’ve been here. Kevin had 50, Russell had 40 and Serge had a triple-double. What else can you say?”

Well, not much. The performance on the court pretty much says it all. However, there might be one last thing to say and the Oklahoma City crowd said it best last night when Kevin Durant made his last two free throws, the sellout crowd chanted, “MVP! MVP! MVP!”

The rumor has been around for what seems like forever, but now it looks like the trade is actually going to happen. What trade? The trade that would send the aging and overpaid A.J. Burnett to the Pittsburgh Pirates. MLB.com is reporting that the Pirates will pay $13 million of the $33 million owed to Burnett over the next two seasons. The Yankees will be receiving minor league outfielder Exicardo Cayones and minor league righthander Diego Moreno.

Burnett was actually scheduled to report to spring training with the New York Yankees on Sunday, but now he will be taking a physical for the Pirates. That is quite the change in plans, yeah? Once the trade is completed, the Yankees are expected to go after a free-agent DH and they want to re-sign reserve infielder Eric Chavez. It’s being reported that the Yankees really want Raul Ibanez as their DH.

It seems like most Yankee fans are happy with this trade and I can’t blame them. He just wasn’t worth the money they were paying him. As a lot of people say, “Some players just can’t make it in New York.” I guess that was especially true for A.J. Burnett.

Apparently Steven Jackson is headed to South America this week and he has already started packing. No, he hasn’t been packing clothes or anything like that. Jackson has been stocking up on condoms! This according to his very own twitter page…

The tweet was deleted soon after being posted, so we think that he meant to send it as direct message to someone. When will people learn the difference between a tweet and a direct message? If you are under the age of 40, then you should not be getting the two confused. However, celebrities have been making the direct message mistake for awhile now. Charlie Sheen recently sent his phone number out in a tweet. It was intended to be a direct message to Justin Bieber…which is still weird.

At least Steven Jackson is using protection! He should have left the tweet up. He’s a grown man, who cares if he wants to go bang a bunch of hot chicks down in South America? All we ask is for a sex tape or perhaps a few pictures.

How many end zones will he touchdown in during his trip? I am saying seven or eight, not including the plane ride down there.
