WAKE UP TO THIS!!

Have you had enough of the Brian Cushing steroids story...well there's more below, but first Playboy has it's new Playmate of the Year, (loads of NSFW pics are available out there, but I'm not going to make it that easy for you to find them with a link!!)I will give you Hope as your Thursday WAKE UP girl.

I'll also give you this comical news story from CNN on the 3-D issue of Playboy on newsstands with the lovely Hope in all her glory jumping off the page for you.


---------------------------------
Now that the re-vote is over, here is the voter breakdown
Here are some of the voters explanations...
- Tom Curran, CSNNE - "In casting my "re-vote" in favor of Brian Cushing, I wasn't condoning or excusing his use of PEDs. The vote was cast as a protest of The Associated Press demeaning its own process of by allowing for do-overs. The deadline for voting was in January. When the deadline came, I used the available information and made a decision."

- Tom Silverstein, Journal Sentinel - "...after consulting with an AP official I was told the rules did not prohibit someone from abstaining. So I withdrew Cushing's name and left the ballot blank."

- Ross Tucker, SI (not a voter) - "I'm not in favor of athletes using performance enhancers, but Cushing's timeline tells me that any veteran player who is looking to play one more year can seemingly take a banned substance without having to worry about any potential consequences like losing money or missing any games."

- DeMaurice Smith (NFLPA) - "Players who break those rules cheat the game, cheat the fans and cheat themselves."

- Alex Marvez, FoxSports - "I submitted my ballot by the noon ET Wednesday deadline. Cushing’s name wasn’t on it."

- You may have missed this but the Boston mayor is a very, very sharp dude and a true Boston sports historian.


- Maria Menounos is hot. She's #80 on Maxim's recently released Hot 100 list - highly questionable if you ask me (way too many Hills cast members). But back to Maria, is she even hotter b/c she has a potty mouth?? (NSFW language)

- I did a long Q & A with the gang at Houston Media Watch. Shared my thoughts on the sports radio scene in Houston. Give it a read.
