It’s funny how little criticism thug Delisha Milton-Jones is getting for punching a coach. Yet Mahorn is getting blasted for pushing Lisa Leslie.
IGNORANT AMERICANS CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHY CHILDRESS BOLTED FOR EUROPE
What is the issue with former Hawk Josh Childress leaving the NBA? Let’s see: pay me $20 million, lead a team in scoring and live in Greece. You’re right, Childress is crazy!! Here’s a shocker, it’s a possibility that some people actually think living outside the country is better than living in Hotlanta.
SPITZER’S HO HANGING WITH A MILF, HER OWN
Holy crap! We knew this Ashley Dupre was smokin hot. Now we know why. The ho didn’t fall far the tree. Which is the Mom and which is Ashley (pictured from behind)
ANTI-AMERICAN JOURNALIST POPPED FOR RUNNING OVER A PEDESTRIAN
Edgar Mercedes has made a fortune taking bets. He is the owner of Out 27, the biggest sports book and bar in the Dominican Republic. Mercedes also owns 45 other bookmaking operations on the island. Mercedes is a top ”Buscones” or street agent who represents several baseball players (including Inoa.)
IS KEVIN JOHNSON A VICTIM OF FEMALE DOUBLE-STANDARD?
The former NBA player is running for Mayor of Sacramento. I bet you KJ thought playing the Detroit Bad Boys was dirty, but it’s nothing compared to the political arena.
Johnson has dealt with two unproven sexual misconduct charges over the last 13 years. In both cases, the police couldn’t find enough evidence to make the claims stick. KJ was exonerated.
That said, the female candidate in the Sac mayoral race has repeatedly made it fair game to smear KJ during the lead up to the early June election. SportsByBrooks.com has a good list of the stories detailing how KJ has been a human punching bag for the female candidate……
I’ve been a called pansy for being an avid fan of American Idol. I’m sure all “real” men know by now…David Cook won the Battle of the Davids. I’m positive one NBA coach has no idea who won the contest.
Lakers coach Phil Jackson and Spurs headman Gregg Popovich were asked about the Idol Finale which coincidentally was taking place across the street from Staples Center in LA.
“Well, fan may be a broad term,” Jackson said. “I’m kind of a nay-sayer but I enjoy watching it with Jeanie (Buss, his girlfriend). She (records and) edits it for me.”
So, who does Phil like?
“I think David’s going to win,” he said.
Popovich not so much….
“Is that where they dance with each other?” he said, laughing.
So is Phil a wimp? Or is he the wiseman, afterall he’s the one with Jeannie B (NSFW).
BIGGEST RIPOFF SURGERY GOING
I could be a bastard and laughed at the now fat Carnie Wilson but I won’t. I actually feel for the mouthy lardass.
The photo on the left was from a Playboy shoot back in 2003. She lost 150+ pounds with the aid of stomach reduction surgery and then showed an impressively huge rack (NSFW).
Apparently, she’s eaten like an elephant since and the surgery isn’t exactly fullproof. You feel bad for her? Or am I old, soft pussy?
DOES ANYONE READ THIS CHICAGO PAPER?
The Arlington Daily Herald may be the third biggest paper in the Chicagoland area for all I know. Or it could be suitable for kitty litter liner.
Either way this Bulls writer is off his rocker. He is the typical print media member nowadays. If I say black, you say white. If I say the sky is blue, you say it’s not. It’s the Peter Brown (former radio host) principle, go against the grain just to piss people off. The point being there is too much arguing simply to create conflict. Does ADH writer Barry Rozner really believe this is a wise move for the Bulls No. 1 pick?.?.?.?.
Maybe the best move is to deal the pick and get three from New Jersey (10, 21, 40), rebuilding the team and finding a star in a trade, but that kind of radical thinking doesn’t seem possible given Paxson’s deliberate nature.
He follows up that gem with a suggestion that if you take Derrick Rose, you may want to get THE guy who knows how to coach him.
All this might be easier if the Bulls had a coach in place, and it wouldn’t be as crazy as you think to steal John Calipari from Memphis, since he understands Rose and would certainly know how to employ him.
Smart move Calipari, the Rose “expert” coached him for all of 39 games. Of course this completely discounts the fact that Calipari’s NBA resume kinda stinks.
TIME FOR COUGARS TO PUT ON SOME MORE CLOTHES?
Madonna & Sharon Stone
What is that between Stone’s legs? A little weird.
Let hope WVU’s Joe Alexander (pictured) isn’t labeled your typical white non-athlete. Looks like he can jump a little.
CANSECO HITS ROCK BOTTOM
Jose is one step away from the poor house. This from SportsByBrooks.com…
Dan Gross of the PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS punches up news that the former MLB slugger-slash-offending author is looking for a fight. He & his promoter already have a date & place set – July 12 in Atlantic City. Now all they need is an opponent.
So, what’s it worth to someone willing to go a few rounds with Jose?
About $5,000. Canseco may even thrown in a signed copy of either “Juiced” on “Vindicated” – but not both. That’ll hurt book sales.
Those interested in stepping into the ring with Jose should forward along their name, address, phone, trunk size & choice of corner water (Evian, Arrowhead, tap) to fightcanseco@aol.com.
GREAT JOB BY SPORTSRADIO’S ETHICAL EXPERT
Jay Mariotti came off as a clown on the recent CostasNow piece on sportsradio and “guy talk.”

WE’RE WAITING FOR FRIDAY’S VIDEO FROM HOLLYWOOD PARK
I’ve always been driven nuts by the hypocrisy in the sports media.
For example….writers will kill someone like Shaq for rapping and acting in addition to his NBA career. The thought is that the athlete is spreading himself too thin to be 100% effective at his craft. Yet there are a load of sportswriters who have added radio and television shows to their job responsibilities. There’s rarely a word that their job performance will be substandard because they’re spread too thin. Unless they get fired for that reason like Stephen A. Smith was by ESPN1050 and the Philly Daily News.
LeBatard actually admitted on Sunday that he’s not doing good work for the Herald…
Besides, I’m doing you, the reader, a disservice when I go to write from an NFL Draft that could not possibly bore me more at this point in my life. And I don’t deserve to be paid for a diluted version of a column that I value too much to cheapen with a lack of passion. My column has lacked life for a while now because I’m stretched too thin with other obligations.
I think it’s too early to call Aniston a cougar. She is hanging with 30-year old John Mayer but the 39-year old is far from being in the cougar category. This from the Everything2.com….
Calling Aniston a cougar suggests that young men like her for her money and that’s she’s on her last legs looks-wise. I don’t think that’s the case with Jen. Do you?
The U.S. has clearly fallen in status in terms of international competition. Our basketball and baseball teams are middle of the pack now after years of dominance. That said, we could always hang our hats on our success in the Battle of the Breasts. Pam Anderson, Dolly Parton, Jamie Lee Curtis, Jane Russell, Jayne Mansfield, Anna Nicole Smith, Scarlett Johannson, Jenna Jameson, Kim Kardashian, Mariah Carey, Tara Reid, etc. teamed up to secure American domination.
The Brits have stepped up with two competitors who are turning the BOTB world on its ears. We’ve already chronicled the Keeley Hazell (NSFW) explosion. She’s got some BIG competition coming from a fellow Brit, Gemma Atkinson. Wow!!
We’re certainly a bit surprised about how darn popular this is,” said Tim North, vice president of Papa John’s Northeast region.
The company announced its apology deal Sunday in response to six shirts that a Washington, D.C., franchisee made. They referred to James’ complaints about hard fouls and Wizards center Brendan Haywood’s response in labeling him a crybaby.
They also highlighted James’ No. 23.
Hence, the 23-cent deal.
“You can’t beat the price,” said Blanche Price, a Euclid senior who arrived at the University Heights store at 9 a.m., armed with a lawn chair.
By 10 a.m., when unruffled, flour-dusted employees flipped on the “Now Baking” neon light and opened the doors, hundreds of pizza-hungry people — including a woman with a walker — had swarmed the parking lot. Inside, cardboard boxes covered every surface, and thin circles of dough towered on metal racks.
Pizza insanity reigned at each of the chain’s 41 Northeast Ohio franchises.
There were 600 people in line in Euclid, said police, who arrested one customer for public intoxication and another for resisting after he got out of the line and got back in, and they also cited a woman for disorderly conduct – all before the customers got their pies.
PINK AND PIVEN, REALLY?
Another odd pairing may have surfaced in Tinsel Town this week. This from the N.Y. Post’s Page Six…..
Jeremy Piven and Hollywood punk Pink were spotted at Green Door in LA Tuesday night getting hot and heavy on the dance floor. Piven hit the club after leaving a party for Victoria’s Secret fragrance Heavenly Kiss at Beso. Pink split from her husband, Motocross racer Carey Hart, in February. “Pink and Jer emy were all over each other and dancing really close,” said a witness. A rep for Pink con firmed she was at the Green Door, but said, “She was not with Jeremy Piven, dancing or otherwise.” Piven’s rep said, “He was there but didn’t hang out with Pink. Jeremy says she is a friend, a good woman.”
DON’T GET LOADED AT A BREWERS GAME
TWO SIDES STILL EMERGING AROUND BENSON DUI ARREST
We told you on Monday how the “responsible” writers at the Chicago Tribune already had Benson convicted. Each day this week, another nugget came out about the ordeal down on Lake Travis.
“It was uncalled for, it was ludicrous, no point for it,” said Toby Patch.
Patch said what he saw at the Emerald Point Marina Saturday makes him distrust law enforcement.
“It seemed to me they were manhandling him a little bit,” Patch said. “As they were taking him up the dock, they stopped, he said, ‘I am fine, I can continue walking,’ and they put their legs behind his knees and knocked him over his knees and started hog-carrying him.”
Then he said when the officers got Benson to the parking area, things really got out of hand.
“They ended up — I don’t know why — but laid him on his back, I heard him say, ‘Please don’t pepper spray me, please don’t pepper spray me,’” Patch said.
You know that I love the Hot Dog eating contests!! Until last year Kobayashi was without debate, the greatest athlete in the history of the world. Then out of nowhere emerged Ali’s, Frazier.
Joey Chestnut took down Kobayashi at the 2007 national championship. Ali – Frazier II is right around the corner on the 4th of July at Coney Island.
There was a local qualifier contest at New York New York on Thursday. Cofield & Cokin were out there for 4+ hours. What a great time. Rich LeFevre blew away the field with 32 dogs in 10 minutes.
Association for Women in Sports Media is outraged….
“The presence of those dolls creates an uncomfortable situation for any female journalist who enters the White Sox locker room simply trying to do her job,” said Jenni Carlson, the group’s president, in an e-mail.
OBJECTIVE MEDIA TAKE OF THE DAY: SUZYN WALDMAN THINKS CLEMENS IS BEING TREATED UNFAIRLY
Gotta love Suzyn, she just doesn’t know when to stop. She says that all of her experiences with Clemens have been positive so she doesn’t believe the stories of the last six months.
WHO HATES STEPHEN A & SKIP MORE, EACH OTHER OR THE AUDIENCE?
THE JIG IS UP, PUBLIC FINALLY ADMITS PAULA IS OFTEN WASTED ON AMERICAN IDOL
Paula Abdul on American Idol 4/29
I’m one of the few sports radio guys who is an Idol devotee. I like the show in spite of stupid viewers who keep less talented singers on the show.
But the real flaw of the show is Paula Abdul. I would estimate that as I’m watching, I screamed out, ” Paula is wasted” during 25% of the shows. It’s gotten to the point where I don’t watch live anymore. I DVR each episode and then fast forward when she speaks.
Her confusing gaff the other night followed by a nonsensical bumbling explanation looked like a person whacked out of their mind on something other than Coca-Cola.
COULD PACMAN BE THE NEXT CLEMENS?
Did Jones make a mistake in placing the blame on Arvell Edwards for last year’s Minnx shooting? Police have to investigate these claims by Edwards made on Newschannel 5 in Nashville….
“I feel sorry for them and everything, but I want to let them know I’m not the person who done this. I’ve been shot before. I know how it feels,” he told NewsChannel 5 reporter Amy Rao.
Documents uncovered by NewsChannel 5 reveal Jones told detectives a man he had never met before, Edwards, told him he would take care of things. Then, Jones witnessed Edwards opening fire.
Jones told police Edwards extorted $15,000 from him, telling him he needed to pay for “services rendered. I definitely didn’t receive no $15,000. I definitely didn’t extort nobody out of no money.”
Instead, Edwards said Jones “paid somebody to shoot that club up. Now, if he wants to tell on somebody he needs to tell on himself and tell them what he actually done.”
Edwards said Jones knows the shooter well. Edwards said the shooter is part of a crowd Jones hangs out with in Atlanta.
“He knows they name,” Edwards said. “He knows they street name. He needs to tell on them instead of trying to put this on me when he knows I didn’t do this and he know I never met him before and he know he don’t know me and I don’t know him.”
Clemens is being bombarded by new daily stories detailing his womanizing. Will Pacman have his boys start flipping on him as well?
MICHAEL BUFFER BEATS CANCER AND IS WORTH HOW MUCH?!?!?
McCready says this about the former Boston pitcher…
“I cannot refute anything in the story,” a tearful but resolute McCready told the Daily News, which broke the story at midnight Sunday.
The News reported that the two met in a Florida karaoke bar when McCready was a 15-year-old aspiring singer and Clemens was a 28-year-old ace for the Red Sox and a married father of two.
“Yes, I have known Roger Clemens for a long time,” McCready said, reading from a prepared statement. “He’s a kind and caring man. He’s also a legendary athlete. The central topic in the debate, however, regards his professional life, not his personal life.
“There are legal matters working their way through the system that have nothing to do with me. From my point of view, that is where the focus should remain.”
After the teenage McCready met Clemens at a Fort Myers bar called The Hired Hand, she returned with the Rocket to his hotel room, but there was no sex that night, sources told The News.
It wasn’t until later, after McCready had moved to Nashville and become a country singing star, that the relationship turned intimate.
N.Y. WRITER SAYS CLEMENS IS BAD, BUT HE’S NO MILEY CYRUS
Wally Matthews is the ultimate knee jerk reaction guy. Whatever sells papers in New York is right up Wally’s alley. And if he can go against the grain to get people worked up, he’ll do it.
I’m going to have a much tougher time explaining that one to my 7-year-old daughter, who worships at the altar of Hannah Montana
After all, if McCready is the one who leaked this story, how different is she, really, from Clemens?
The same way Clemens (allegedly) turned to steroids and HGH to restart a dead career, McCready might now be turning to Clemens for precisely the same reason.
When does it end for Matthews? It’s good to see that he’s back solely in print where there is little accountability. He was an absolute flop in radio on ESPN 1050 in NYC. His nonsensical ramblings were shredded by New York sports fans on the phones. Matthews also got daily ass whipping from Jim Rome when they did The Last Word on FoxSportsNet in 1998-99
HANNAH MONTANA LATEST CHILD TO BE USED BY GREEDY ADULTS
This Miley Cyrus photo scandal comes as no shocker. And it’s not like adults haven’t taken advantage of a child to make a buck in the past. Check 13-year old Brooke Shields in the 1978 movie, Pretty Baby.
I also had a weird vibe as many did back in early April when watching American Idol.
On 4/10 I went on the air and said I felt like a dirty old man after watching Hannah Montana on Idol. She was acting way too seductive for a 15 y.o. and the outfit she had on was ridiculous. Watch the performance below.
VECSEY MAKES UP STORY AND THEN GLOSSES OVER APOLOGY
Again, another “tenured” sportswriter who opines with no accountability. NBA “insider” Pete Vecsey is one of the most combative and hostile writers in the country. He was recently nabbed as a guy who is making up his nuggets.
A few months ago, before the Raptors were to play the Lakers, he addressed the team by telling them, “We’ll worry about the guy who got 81 in a second, but first I want to talk about Andrew Bynum and how he killed us last time.” A hush engulfed the locker room. “Hey, coach,” Chris Bosh interrupted. “Bynum’s been out for weeks with an injury.”
ONLY one thing is worse than getting something dead wrong, and that’s not correcting the mistake immediately. A story in Sunday’s column regarding the readiness of the Raptors for a Laker game portrayed Toronto coach Sam Mitchell as being unrehearsed and unaware Andrew Bynum was hurt.
After speaking at length to the aggrieved coach and broadening my investigation, I’m convinced I turned in an improperly researched project.
I’m trying to regain some misplaced credibility by making amends.
This may be my second favorite Vecsey story. He lost his cool in print over the Ernie Grunfeld firing during the 1998-99 season. Grunfeld was a Vecsey guy, while N.Y. Times writer Mike Wise was tight with coach Jeff Van Gundy. JVG won the power struggle to which Vecsey responded in the N.Y. Post by writing, “Wise and Van Gundy will get theirs.”
Check that, the best Vecsey story of all time was his fight in a Seattle-area Toys-R Us.
Some couple was walking past him, and the wife thought she recognized Peter Vecsey, and the husband said no, and “besides, he’s an idiot.”brought to light by Bench Ronaldo:
It was Vecsey. Someone who Vecsey was with took exception to the comment, shoved the husband into a display rack–then both Vecsey and the companion took turns hitting the hubby in the face. Or so the alleged victims said at the time.
This apparently spooked Vecsey so much he’s avoided Seattle ever since. As he said in a recent New York Post column,
“I got into a skirmish in a Seattle toy store in 1996 and I never went back – to that toy store or that city.”
THE BEST BRITISH IMPORT SINCE THE BEATLES
For those of you who are attracted to photos of grown women (exclude Clemens and Vanity Fair readers), Keeley Hazell’s upcoming appearance in British FHM — photo NSFW has sent American internet viewers into a tizzy.
The 21 y.o. Hazell is very talented with a “developing” singing career. Most importantly she sports 32 D 32 E bombs (shortchanged her) and likes to show them off Pic 1 NSFW and Pic 2 NSFW. In the video shoot also makes multiple references to the fact that there is no silicone in her body.
We point out all the time, the hypocrisy of guys doing sportsradio around the country. They’ll hammer athletes and say they don’t deserve a second chance when they get in trouble off the field. Yet when one of my peers makes an error, he always gets a second chance (check Mike North, Gregg Williams, Steve Fredericks, Damon Perry, Mike Missanelli etc.).
They’re also the first guys to rip an athlete for not being a “team player” and that an athlete’s ego is too big.
WFAN’s Mike Francesa is a prime example. He can pound on athletes but when someone takes a jab at him…all bets are off.
His partner Chris Russo was on David Letterman earlier this week. Letterman said he listened to the show all the time and took a shot at Francesa.
Watch the mood in the WFAN studio change when the Mike & the Mad Dog staff plays the audio back for Francesa. Hell, even Russo looks scared and begins to apologize.
Is there any doubt Francesa raised holy hell during the next break?
Mike & the Mad Dog Russo Letterman Appearance comments
We’re now in the third week of Stanford’s search to replace Trent Johnson. Given
that it probably will extend into the weekend, it seems pretty clear that there was no Plan B in case Johnson left.
Or maybe athletic director Bob Bowlsby had a Plan B, and that Plan scooted off to Berkeley a week before Johnson departed for Baton Rouge.
The lack of a coach is killing Stanford on the recruiting trail. The Cardinal have lost their top big man recruit, Miles Plumlee.
CRAZY ELI CLEANING OUT ANIMAL CAGES????
You remember Elijah Dukes?
He’s the batty outfielder from the Devil Rays who made his divorce very public with his radio interviews and then his wife struck back blasting him on radio and in the local paper.
Dukes, now with the Washington Nationals, was also popped on a marijuana charge and failed to show for court. For doing so, he got 31 months probation.
To get his misdemeanor probation cut short by five months, former Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Elijah Dukes spent 25 hours during the past week cleaning out cages and mopping at Lowry Park Zoo.
JIM GRAY IS OUT OF WORK? WHO KNEW?
I was sideswiped by this one. I hear Gray all the time on Westwood One and saw him recently on Showtime Boxing, but now he’s destitude?
He was fired by ABC/ESPN and is now looking for work.
A lot of fans hate Gray, I’m not one of them. He’s one of the rare sideline reporters who will tweak and push athletes. Cokin and I still argue over his “great” interview of Pete Rose.
It is pretty sad to see fans dislike him so much that there are only THREE videos of Gray’s work on YouTube!
Tom Hoffarth of the L.A. Daily News wrote about Gray looking pathetic at a recent Laker game…
So there was Hollywood Walk of Famer Jim Gray, trolling the Staples Center hallways Wednesday night, a painful, vain attempt to try to stay in the TV employment loop when the fact of the matter is no one is interested in hiring the psuedo sideline reporter. Notice how he’s disappeared from the NBA playoffs?
DID DALLAS TV GUY GO OVER THE LINE WITH PACMAN JONES RANT!!!
LeBron James, who averaged 27 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists in three regular season games against Washington, was call “overrated” by DeShawn Stevenson in March.
“With DeShawn Stevenson, it’s kind of funny. It’s almost like Jay-Z [responding to a negative comment] made by Soulja Boy. It doesn’t make sense.”
It wasn’t enough for Stevenson not realize his place, now rap neophite Soulja Boy needed to chime in…
“Someone from Interscope Records called me and sent me the quote,” Way said. “I looked and didn’t really think much about it. LeBron said something like he was Jay-Z and DeShawn [Stevenson] is Soulja Boy. I took that as [disrespectful].”
Let’s see…what doesn’t Soulja Boy get?
Jay-Z is a multi-millionaire with dozens of hit songs and just married Beyonce.
Soulja Boy is a 17-year old rapper with a hit song about spraying his load on a chick’s back and sticking the sheet to the sticky area (he does deserve much credit if chick’s actually let him do this and even more for putting it into a song that 100,000s of 10 year olds will dance to).
That said, we may never see Soulja Boy after this year. I have a feeling Jay-Z will be around for while. In doing a query for his salary…if this info is correct..Jay-Z is to Soulja Boy like Donald Trump is to a bum.
Can this be correct?
Jay-Z’s wealth for 2007 is based on the following: The Rocawear sale (after corporate lawyer fees and taxes applied) is in the $150-$160 million range, his Def Jam salary ($3 million) his endorsement deals ($9 million) his publishing rights ($10 million annually) his annual income from his 40/40 clubs is ($5 million), his income from Armadelle Vodka nets him $13 million yearly, his royalties from “Kingdom Come,’ netted him $2 million due to a high royalty rate
(despite sluggish sales due to downloading ) and his consultant salary with Anheuser-Busch along with his NBA investment nets him a combined total of $5 million-and his $340 million carried over from 2006 brings the grand total to staggering: $547 million dollars. Highest dollar amount (Rocawear) calculated for overall total.
This makes no sense. Frank Thomas is cut by the Blue Jays and no one in baseball will touch deposed HR king Barry Bonds, but now Billy Beane is going to bring in both….Big Hurt, Big Pain – are they really on Oakland’s radar?
MIKE NORTH INSPIRED T-SHIRTS BANNED BY CUBS
The language sensitivity police are a bit out of control. That said, I can’t blame anyone getting made at these t-shirts in Chicago.
These were designed to “welcome” Japanese import Kosuke Fukudome to the Cubbies. There was no language barrier for Fukudome, he understands the shirt is offensive..
”I don’t know what the creator of the shirt meant this to be, but they should make it right,” Fukudome said through his interpreter after being shown one of the shirts Thursday. ”Maybe the creator created it because he thought it was funny, or maybe he made it to condescend the race. I don’t know.”
I bet you Chicago sportsradio icon didn’t point out the offensive nature of the shirt when he first saw it. North isn’t exactly the most racially sensitive broadcaster. He was reprimanded back in 2006 for this line as reported by CBS2 in Chicago ..
Last summer, when Korean Chicago Cubs pitcher Jae Kuk Ryu gave up several home runs, effectively losing a game to Atlanta, North reportedly said on his show, “Who was that Chinaman?”, a racial slur.
Ask CBS announcer Bobby Clampett if ”Chinaman” is an appropriate term. And secondly, at least use a correct slur. Jae Kuk Ryu is Korean.
There are NFL execs who still cannot believe that Bryant Gumbel was hired to be the play-by-play voice of the start-up NFL Network to begin with.
Not only did Gumbel, who recently resigned, have no football play-by-play experience it showed we’re told that NFLN was paying him roughly $1 million a year to call eight games. That’s roughly $125,000 a game. That’s roughly crazy.
On the other hand, if you consider he had no experience, he wasn’t as bad as he was expensive.
Fifty years later, TV people still think sports fans tune to games to hear announcers. Announcers can enhance the telecast or they can drive viewers to distraction, but they can’t make anyone, outside of their immediate families, watch.
Excellent point. Ever wonder why TV and radio announcers often come off as athlete haters? Much of the hating is based on athletes’ salaries. If that’s the case, shouldn’t we hate most sports personalities on TV and radio. $125,000 a game!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

SPITZER’S HO HANGING WITH A MILF, HER OWN
