"The Jock Itch" with Jasmine Sadry: T.J. Fredette- "My Brother Jimmer is Amazing!"
DALLAS (105.3 THE FAN) Leading off Today's "Jock Itch:" BYU darling Jimmer Fredette's brother thinks he's uh-may-ZING; so MUCH so, that the aspiring rapper by the name of T.J. Fredette, wrote a rap song dedicated to Jimmer's unprecedented level of awesome-ness! The song is called, "Amazing" and he talks about growing up with Jimmer, and how he always knew Jimmer would do great things in his life. Jimmer actually listened to this very same song before he took to the court and ended up beating the snot out of Florida in the 2010 NCAA Tournament.
I have to admit: "Amazing" is kinda catchy and T.J. can spit some fire! Let's just say, it's inspired me to want to delve into Godly rapping under the stage name, "Ol' Dirty Baptist"

Who would have thought we'd have our very own version of "pants on the ground" guy in our very own backyard by way of Cowboys darling, Dez Bryant! According to several media outlets, a Tuesday police statement says that Dez and three of his buddies were involved in an incident at North Park Center where security asked them to pull their pants up because their underwear was showing! But, Dez is saying, look, MY pants WERE up! It's my BUDDIES that had their pants on the ground!
Supposedly, he's had a prior history of problems at North Park already (according to the police report) including an incident at a store where cops had to intervene after Dez decided to cut in line and a parking citation for parking in the fire lane.
And now, although reps for Dez are denying it, one media outlet is reporting that North Park actually BANNED Dez from the premises for three months. Between fans' speculation/support and a plethora of media source reports, Twitter was a FRENZY yesterday with the "is he or isn't he" banned theory.
But, rest assured, Dez tweeted the answer himself yesterday: "Headed to North Park tomorrow to get these Lebrons…I am not banned from North Park…lol" http://deadspin.com/#!5784706/dez-bryant-ejected-maybe-banned-from-mall-because-of-saggy-pants
A hearing was held earlier this week to determine if ex-Dallas Cowboy linebacker Eugene Lockhart Jr. should be locked up! A woman is claiming that Eugene told her to lie to the FBI about knowing him after their public intox arrest late last year in Addison! (FYI: Eugene is already free pending his trial on mortgage fraud charges) The court is trying to determine if he should be locked up after failing to report his arrest to federal authorities!
Here's the story behind what happened. About 3am on that day, Eugene and the 27-year-old woman in question were together in the back seat of his parked Cadillac Escalade. When an Addison cop pulled up to investigate why they were parked there, Eugene got out and appeared to be dressing hastily and was drunk. HE says that he encountered the woman walking on the side of the road and picked her up when she said she had just had a fight with her boyfriend at a nearby night club.
Here's the kicker: Eugene, who's been taking religious leadership classes recently, said he was trying to minister to her.
A decision is going to be made on the matter today... http://www.dallasnews.com/news/crime/headlines/20110322-hearing-held-to-determine-if-ex-cowboy-eugene-lockhart-should-be-locked-up-.ece
Former football star Lawrence Taylor was sentenced yesterday to six years on probation for the whole underage prostitution fiasco he was involved in and, in the meantime, he'll also have to abide by the conditions of a sex offender until he finds out on April 12th, just what level of sex offender he'll be classified as. There are levels 1-3, with 3 being the most severe. (He'd have to have his picture on the official public registry and have his picture retaken every year, in addition to reporting addresses and other personal information.)
The underage prostitute he had sex with in a hotel room, only identified by the initials C.F. is now 17, and says that he should have gone to the slammer! Opportunist troll of an attorney, Gloria Allred is defending her case.
Just to recap the story: The teen denied she is a prostitute and said another man, by the name of Rasheed Davis, forced her to go to LT's hotel room back in May 2010. She believes LT could tell that she had been beaten and just how young she truly was.
Rasheed is accused of acting as the girl's pimp and is said to be the one who allegedly assaulted her and brought her to LT's hotel room. But here's the crazy part, prosecutors have actually CREDITED Taylor with helping them in that case.
Anyway, after the girl's uncle contacted New York City police, he was arrested at a Holiday Inn and was charged with third-degree rape because she was underage. When he pleaded guilty to the lesser charges, LT admitted to having intercourse with the girl, who turned out to be a Bronx runaway. He said she told him she was 19, but he also added that he now knows the girl was 16 and legally incapable of consent. He ended up paying her $300 bucks for the little tryst.
Oh, LT…this is all such a far cry from your Super Bowl winning years with the Giants in '87 and '91 AND even MORE importantly…
"Dancing with the Stars!!"

Since the NFL is currently at a standstill and players are out looking for some side work to make ends meet (obvious sarcasm noted with that) Cowboys tight end Jason Witten has a nice little part time gig! He's going to be a comic book funny! The Fort Worth Star Telegram is reporting that Jason will be featured in this week's Archie Comics issue "Arhchie Double Digest No. 217." Its part of a deal with MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Drivers) and it's designed to help parents and teenagers talk about underage drinking… http://benmaller.com/2011/03/cowboys-star-featured-in-comic-book/
So the NFL Competition Committee passed a few rule changes at their annual meetings, you know, insignificant stuff like kickoffs moving to the 35 now, keeping touchbacks from the 20, and we're getting more booth reviews. BUT, the most SIGNIFICANT of all is Proposal 5, also known as the insurance that football WILL be played on green fields for the foreseeable futures! Now, any team that wants to change the color of their playing surface will have to get official league approval first!
Thank GOODNESS, they're getting to the bottom of pressing issues!
Rangers' skipper Ron Washington apparently did something pretty incisive back in October of last year: he filed a trademark application for the phrase, "Drop the antlers on em, drop the claw on em." This was the very phrase he uttered on a radio interview that caught fire pretty quickly, leading to the birth of the "Claw and Antler" fiasco in the Rangers clubhouse and on T-shirts and memorabilia everywhere!
Incidentally, the last time a head coach in a major pro sport did something like this, it made him a ton of money! (Think back in the early '90s when then-Knicks head coach Pat Riley trademarked the word "three-peat." After Michael Jordan and the Bulls went on to do JUST that twice (at the cost of Riley's Knick) Pat STILL made the bank from all of that!
If only we could just keep the "claw" and lose the "antlers" already. If I see one more dork at Rangers Ballpark in a blue construction helmet with red antlers coming out of each side, I'm gonna stick my "claw" in their right eyeball! http://www.nbcdfw.com/blogs/red-fever/Drop-The--------Drop-The------118439174.html
I LOVE it when MLB players use the cutest little excuses to cover up any sort of steroid involvement. First it was Andy Pettitte saying that he only used HGH and NOT steroids for his sore elbow, Roger Clemens coined the term, "misremembered" when discussing his involvement in any steroid usage, and now Barry Bonds testified yesterday in his perjury trial that he thought he was taking flax seed oil and arthritis cream when his personal trainer gave him steroids! (THAT'S rich! I got a good chuckle out of that one! Here's "Exhibit A" as your evidence: let's put Barry Bonds' 1986 rookie baseball card next to one of his from 2001. Yep, ONLY flax seed oil and arthritis cream is what made you physically look about 40 pounds beefier…) Even though urine tests showed that there were steroids in his system, Barry says that he "unknowingly" took what he was given and didn't realize they were steroids.
Seven years ago, Bonds told a grand jury investigating sports doping that he never knowingly took performance-enhancing drugs. But, prosecutors said that he lied to the grand jury, even though the government promised not to prosecute him for drug use if he testified truthfully. He's pleaded not guilty to charges -- originally filed in 2007 -- of making false statements to the grand jury and one count of obstruction.
As a star for the Pittsburgh Pirates and then the San Francisco Giants, Bonds hit 762 home runs, a career record and he also holds the mark for home runs in a single season, with 73 in 2001. (Which, of course, CLEARLY was through the help of some flax seed oil pills and lotion!)
Phillies ace, Cliff Lee paid $4.85 million bucks for his brand new, swanky 4,100 square foot condo in some uppity high rise building in downtown Philly. If you do the math, this means Clifton Phifer Lee spent a whopping 44 PERCENT of his $11 million dollar salary on JUST his digs…
Such a FAR cry from Cliff Lee's Arkansas roots…

Lawyers representing the New York Mets tried their hardest to get a lawsuit thrown out of court, but failed. The lawsuit in contention regards a fan who was injured by a falling fat guy at Shea Stadium back in April 2007. According to the NY Post, the Mets claim that they shouldn't be held liable for the female fan's injuries when the 300 pound meatball of a man came careening down five rows and landing onto her neck. A judge said that there was PLENTY of evidence that the portly chump was inebriated and acting bizarrely. Look for this case to go to court by summer… http://benmaller.com/2011/03/mets-cant-stop-jelly-belly-lawsuit/
EA Sports, the brains behind the Madden video game franchise, is looking at a sales drop of as much as 50 PERCENT, if the NFL lockout ends up kyboshing the 2011 season. This means, they'd stand to lose about $165 MILLION bucks!
Last year's Madden 11 generated roughly $330 million in revenue, and EA Sports can personally thank me for $59.99 of that amount… http://benmaller.com/2011/03/nfl-video-game-maker-could-lose-165-million/
Just when I thought my boy, singer Chris Brown, was going to REALLY clean up his act and make a comeback, he goes and does THIS number! He was on "Good Morning America" doing an interview yesterday morning with Robin Roberts as part of a promotion of his brand new album, F.A.M.E. The interview made an awkward turn, and after a brief performance, Chris went into a rage off stage, shattering a window with a chair, and leaving ABC's studio without his shirt, ALL without completing a second scheduled performance.
What sent Chris into such a tizzy? During the interview, Roberts jumped right into a number of questions about Chris' arrest for the beating of his then-girlfriend, singer Rihanna, back in 2009. She then went on to mention that his restraining order (that resulted from said incident) had recently been relaxed, and he's painfully trying to steer away from talking about anything regarding that and focusing on discussing his album. But, Robin just wouldn't quit!

And finally…
I couldn't make this story up if I TRIED! Nestled in a quaint little area called Old Town, right here in Spring, Texas, there's a business that touts, "Pole Dancing for Jesus."
No, seriously.
Set to Christian music, church-going women spin and gyrate around poles. But, the instructor and students INSIST it's NOT about sex! They claim that they're getting closer to God! (I guess a Boa with feathers in hot-pink beat out picking up a Bible to do that) Anyway, one of the students justified it by saying, "God gives us these bodies and they are supposed to be our temples and we are supposed to take care of them and that's what we are doing."
