"The Jock Itch" with Jasmine Sadry: Tiki Barber's Coming Back to the NFL!
DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) Leading of today's "Jock Itch:" Former New York running back, Tiki Barber, has officially alerted the NFL that he plans to come out of retirement and play in the 2011 season! Sources are saying that he's already filed the appropriate paperwork to the league and he'll become a free agent. Keep in mind, he's going to be 36 next month, but he did play 10 seasons (all for the Giants) and did happen to finish his career as the franchise's all-time leading rusher. BUT also keep in mind, he retired MID-SEASON 2006, was also running his mouth, scoffing at his former teammate, Eli Manning's leadership abilities, and criticizing his former coach, Tom Coughlin's, coaching style! (Oops! Didn't the Giants go on to win the Super Bowl in the first season AFTER Tiki's retirement?) Even his former teammate, Antonio Pierce, is saying that although Tiki might still be able to play, NO teams should sign him because he's not a good leader and that he sold out his former teammates by running his yapper! Yowza!
In addition to all of THAT mess, there was the whole "Tiki reportedly leaving his PREGNANT wife of ELEVEN years for some tight little blond 23 year-old NBC intern, losing his broadcasting gig at the network, and ending up claiming he was broke and couldn't pay the ex in a divorce settlement." Ya know, minor stuff.
Anyway, Tiki has even said himself that he wants to play in the NFL with his brother again, and since Ronde just signed a one-year extension with the Bucs, we'll see how this all ends up playing out. I'm sure all of the paranoid NFL conspiracy theorists are already assuming Jerry Jones has placed the "reach-out" phone call…
And in OTHER "itch" worthy news…
What pending NFL lockout?!? Saints running back Reggie Bush just dropped $1,000 bucks on SUSHI! (Maybe he didn't read the chapter regarding THAT in his NFLPA guidebook the league sent its players, advising them on how to financially prepare if in fact, there is a lockout.) Anyway, this $1,000 dollar sushi is a "Chocolate Gold" fondue, complete with 24-carat, gold coated chocolate, flown in from the Dominican Republic….Unreal…

I LOVE this rumor but apparently, Charlie Sheen MAY be buying the Boston Red Sox, according to a popular Red Sox fan site called "Boston Dirt Dogs!" They claim to have an interview with him, in which he says he wants to buy the ball club from John Henry. Charlie said, "I'm done with TV and want to get back to my first love, baseball. So I tweeted John Henry over in London and made him an offer for the Red Sox… and he's taking it. He's out. Between all his success with Liverpool and Roush Fenway Racing, the wiry billionaire's got his hands full and wants to unload the little ball-club in Boston. And I'm just the guy to take it off his hands. I've got magic. I've got poetry at my fingertips. I've still got my Bill Buckner ball around here somewhere… We're going to get this franchise back to Winning! Duh…" Incidentally, this "news" broke after he was just seen drinking a bottle of a drink called "Tiger's Blood" and waving a machete around…Now THAT'S "#WINNING"

Tiger Woods has turned to the help of A-Rod's flame, Cameron Diaz, to help him date! Sources are saying that Cameron feels like it's her job to play matchmaker for him and help him find a nice young lady to take home to mamma, Kultida, because he's really lonely and has trust issues with women…

Everybody just LOVES to pick on poor little gorgeous, Gisele Bundchen banging Pat's quarterback, Tom Brady! He's recently been getting some MAD media attention regarding a new disheveled looking ponytail he's been sporting (this after his whole Bieber-gate hair style nonsense a while back ago) In addition to the ponytail, he's getting hated on for awkwardly dancing with his hot Brazilian model wife, Gisele Bundchen, while they were at some carnival in her home country AND for being all kissy face with her every chance he got! (On a side note, it really is uncomfortable to watch Tom try to bust a move. You almost get the "douche" chills of feeling sorry FOR the guy, as you're seeing this play out before you.) In regards to all of his PDA, I'm not even "that way" but after all, it's Gisele Bundchen for God's sakes!!! Can you BLAME the guy for not being able to keep his hands off of her?? If you want to check out the video of him "dancing" (we'll call it that) click on the link below…

So King James' team just got handed their FIFTH straight loss last night to the Trailblazers, 105-96 and now poor LeBron is also getting sued by an Atlanta nightclub! Atlanta's Opera Nightclub is suing him because they claimed that he backed out of his promise to make an appearance later this month! This drama all arose when LeBron's agent said that a competing club (The Gold Room) was also trying to get him for an appearance and that LeBron already took a $12,000 dollar deposit AND a second $3,000 bucks when he just ends up telling the Opera club that he was going to go with the Gold Club instead! According to the report, for just a ONE HOUR appearance, the Opera Nightclub was willing to pony up $25,000 bucks to the King…

Utah Jazz rookie forward Gordon Hayward says "Forget the swanky restaurants! Give me the endless salad bowls and breadsticks deal!" because he waited a whopping 40 minutes for some Olive Garden! He said he LOVES some good pasta, good breadsticks, and good salad, also tweeting that he likes the fact that it's cheap eats too! (Who can blame the guy? They also have those funny little chairs on rollers!)

Whitney Houston's daughter, Bobbi Kristina, apparently has a sex tape floating around! (Mind you, this news comes just a WEEK after she's been denying the alleged pictures of herself snorting coke that have ALSO been circulating; Pictures, in which she claims, that she was set up by a spiteful ex-boyfriend to make it "look" like she had the rolled up dollar bill to her nose with her face down on a mirror, but that it's "not what it looks like!" Ummm….sure) Anyway, regarding the sex tape, it stars little Miss Bobbi Kristina in some jungle fever action described as "freaky" and "explicit." Some sellers tried to approach a website called MediaTakeOut.com with it but they said NO WAY to the offer! Why? Because she is only 17! According to the sellers, THEY didn't even realize that she is legally considered underage and claimed that they thought she'd turned 18 over the weekend that the tape would be able to be sold…
An intruder who decided to take a shower in a house that he'd broken into called the cops for help, saying he feared for his life, after the homeowner returned to the house! The guy who owned the house approached the showering intruder with his two German Shepherds, prompting the intruder to lock himself in the bathroom and calling police, flipping out about the homeowner possibly pulling a gun on him! Cops ended up showing up and taking the intruder and all of his "2,000 clean body parts" (ala Lever 2000 soap) into custody without incident…
And finally, a circus dwarf who pulls appliances with his junk won't be performing in an upcoming ball at Oxford University. "Demon Dan" is his name and he was denied by the board of members, after they deemed that his act was probably a bit unsuitable for the Oxford University crowd. Poor little "Demon Dan" was pretty insulted and said it was the University's loss though, saying: "I have a brilliant resume after featuring as an Ewok in a Star Wars film and various Muppet movies as a flying teddy bear!" Easy there, "Demon." I'm sure there's a yellow brick paved road somewhere in your future…
