Now I like to rail on rich people who ask for wedding gifts...But The Prince of England - Second in line to the Throne - SHOULD NOT be asking for a wedding gift from Crate & Barrel.
.
Prince William can afford a toilet that gives him a Blow Job...
So my buddy DiMo plays in a completely ameture hockey league in Greenwich Conn. He's a 45-year old father of 3 who makes multiple millions of dollars a year and he is by no means a tough guy.
.
But he was telling me about his game last night, where THIS happened:
.
"After a slashing penalty was called against a hockey player during a game at the rink late last night, referee Peter Tarantino of Cos Cob said he was punched in the face two times by a scrappy Norwalk player. Hockey player Martin Durkaj, 31, of 116 Rowayton Woods Road, Norwalk, was charged with second-degree breach of peace and criminal attempt at third-degree assault."
.
The funniest thing, to me at least, was this: "He was released on $80 bond."
.
$80 bucks for assault? Jesus, I have at least twice that on me most times. From what he told me the Ref was a good sport about it and even had beers with the winning team after the game to show off his black eye...
.
And the worst part of the situation is that my buddy DiMo - a BIG hockey fan - missed this:
.
Everybody's favorite condesending, control freak sports writer will be going head-to-head with everybody's favorite condesending, control freak radio host.
.
The NY Daily News announced Tuesday afternoon: "Mike Lupica, award-winning Daily News sports columnist and long-time panelist on ESPN's "Sports Reporters," adds another notch to his media belt next month with a daily sports-talk show on WEPN (1050 AM, ESPN Radio)."
.
Lupica will only be going against the Sports Pope for one hour a day, however, from 2-3pm. For those of us old enough to remember, Francesa took over his current time slot from Lupica on WFAN.
.
But Damn, ESPN Radio, You now have Mike Golic, Mike Greenberg, Michael Kay and now Mike Lupica, that's a a lot of people named Mike.
.
Like everybody else, I like to know what the weather will be over the next day or two, especially on the weekend.
.
But this is why I ALWAYS tune into NBC here in New York for my weekend weather: Domenica Davis.
.
She's just so cute and her personality makes me want to know if there's rain in the forecast.
.
I know that TV weather people are just good looking screen prompter readers and wouldn't know a Cumulus from a Cirrus. But what can I say? I enjoy hearing about the weather from Ms. Davis.
.
And I do not see a ring on that left ring finger...
.
Here's my buddy Matt's 17-month old kid Colin trying to surf on a skateboard. The kid has pretty good balance. Due to an editing error, the action starts at the 30 second mark.
.
Four-time Olympic Gold Medalist Carl Lewis is running for the N.J. State Senate. At least this means the end to his singing career.
.
I was actually at this Nets/Bulls game back when I was in High School. Bulls won. Carl Lewis lost. I hope Carl Lewis is a better politician than he is a singer.
.
Even Derrick Coleman was laughing at him...You know you're bad when Derrick Coleman is laughing at you.
.
Here's the super-hot wife of golfer Something or other (Mrs. Day). The guy who won the Masters (Charl Schwartzel) has a hot-ass wife too.
.
Did I choose the wrong profession? I think I could golf. It doesn't look all that difficult. These dudes aren't scoring these women because they are so handsome.
.
This chick doesn't even have a big rock on her finger...So she must really like this golf guy.
Director Sidney Lumet passed away today. That sucks. I'm a big fan of Dog Day Afternoon and Network.
.
But I particulary like Dog Day Afternoon. Al Pacino is a fag? That was a crazy twist to a bank heist movie...
.
Mr. Lumet also directed 12 Angry Men and The Verdict. As a former juror, I kind of liked those movies too.
.
Please watch the opening of Dog Day Afternoon in Mr. Lumet's honor
Catching up on the current events this morning, I was flipping around the TV and found the CBS Early Show and these two hot babes.
.
This one is Rebecca Jarvis, the female anchor. She's a total babe. She's well spoken and seems pretty smart.
.
Cheryl Crow wrote a cookbook or something and she looks pretty hot too.
.
This is Fashion reporter, Taryn Brill. She was talking about women's shoes or some shit like that and I didn't really pay attention.
.
But I did hear her report that, on average, women own 17 pairs of shoes at an average cost of $50 per pair. That translates to a total cost of $850 in shoes...Having recently traveled with a woman, I believe this estimate.
.
.
I have one pair of dress shoes and a pair of Timberland boots for a grand total of like $250.

So...Charlie Sheen was booed off the stage at Radio City Music Hall last night. But he did have at least one funny line.
.
Talking about almost being caught snorting cocaine in an airplane bathroom, he said: "My balls are sweating like a gerbil in a Richard Gere convention."
.
Sadly, I can't really relate. As a 6 foot 4 inch 200 pound dude, I can barely fit in an airplane bathroom, let alone do drugs in one.
.
But he apparently bombed and was subsequently booed off the stage after 45 minutes of a 90 minute show.
. According to the NY Post, Mr. Sheen "whined profusely about the night he wrecked The Plaza suite, saying he just wanted to retrieve his wallet and "$173,000 watch" from a chick hiding in the bathroom, whom he'd already tipped $30,000."
.
I hate it when that happens to me...
As of 10:02 PM ET, ESPN reports That Manny Ramirez is hanging up his cleats. Six games into the season...Because he tested positive for steroids during Spring Training.
.
Manny couldn't field his way out of a paper bag. Manny couldn't steal a base if you slipped it in his pocket. But Manny could hit .350...With flair.
.
Love him or hate ManRam, the Dude could hit. But he got busted doing steroids - TWICE - so that hurts his legacy. He has always been a total fucking Wack Job too.
.
We all know Manny's a little strange, but he did do this:

The NFL just put out this statement. Here's the translation into what the Owners are really telling the Players:
.
NFL statement on letter to players’ attorneys:
“Our letter to the players’ attorneys today proposes negotiations with owner involvement under the supervision of Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Director George Cohen. A copy has been sent to Judge Nelson. The goal of the discussions would be to resolve all outstanding issues and achieve a global resolution. As part of our proposal, we offered to give the players assurances that they will not compromise any legal position as a result of the discussions.”
.
What the NFL REALLY means:
"We told you what we want and aren't going to move on our position. We want a new Federal Mediator because Judge Nelson is a left wing Pinko Communist who doesn't favor our position and we believe that Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service Director George Cohen will be sympathetic to our cause. We are seeking a global resolution that suits our profit margins. We will fuck you in the ass the second you drop the soap in the shower."
I've been out of touch lately...Because I went to Las Vegas for the Final 4! Had a blast. Ate some good food. Saw some good shows (Cirque du Soleil Beatles "Love" is highly recommended) and, of course, gambled away my rent money.

Saturday went well, with Butler -3 and Kentucky +4/Under 159 tease bets.
.
.
.
.
.
And I had the Nuggets, Knicks and Heat on Sunday afternoon. Plus I did well at the roulette wheel.
.
Add in a couple good meals and the sights, and it was a great long weekend in Las Vegas, Nevada.
.
.
.
.
.
But then Monday happened. I liked Butler, because they have a supercute bulldog mascott that likes to hump basketballs and how can't you love that?
.
Didn't work out though because neither team could hit a shot...That game went like five minutes without a score to close the first half.
.
.
.
At least Coors Light sent over a couple friendly girls to console the losers.
.
