Big Tits Not Popular in Beijing

Not everyone likes big tits, apparently. News to me.

Sailing champions Ben Rhodes and Stevie Morrison will be representing their fellow Brits in Beijing this summer ... as long as they change the name of their boat (ship? whatever). You see, the guys have a tradition of naming their boats after songs. Only choosing "Jackie Big Tits" by The Kooks ain't going over so well, no matter how good of a song it is (and it's great, for the record).

Olympic officials don't think it's appropriate, although I can't imagine why. Wouldn't advertising "Big Tits" bring in more viewers? That's what FanHouse taught me this week.

Ricco Fails.

Riccardo Ricco, the Italian cyclist who tested positive for EPO during the Tour de France, has come forward and apologized for his mistake. The 24-year-old made a statement after his closed-door hearing with the Italian Olympic Committee's anti-doping prosecutor Ettore Torri today.

"What I did during the Tour is done. I made a mistake and the mistake is only mine," Ricco said. "I have always won with my own legs. Unfortunately, I've made a mistake and I will pay for it."

I wonder, though, if what Ricco did qualifies as a mistake. Based on the definition of "mistake," Ricco would have had to have acted through carelessness, insufficient knowledge or a misunderstanding. I'm pretty sure that, in taking a banned substance to improve his performance, his decision was thought out and calculated and that he had a full understanding of what could happen if he were caught.

Look, there are a lot of stupid people [myself not excluded] who make mistakes on the regular, but are innocent in their actions, however dumb they may be. Ricco's decision was wrong , but should he seek sympathy by calling it a mistake?

I'd rather he just said, "Look, I'm sorry I tried to cheat." And failed.

This Is Late But I Don't Care

Isiah Thomas is leaving quite a legacy in Madison Square Garden. But the Knicks' coach is apparently leaving a legacy at home as well. His 19-year-old son was arrested for underage drinking.

Joshua Thomas - known more awesomely as DJ Zeke - was arrested early last Tuesday after being treated at a Bloomington, Indiana hospital for a swollen eye. He allegedly became "belligerent" when police were asking him about how he got the injury - which came while drinking at a bar with a fake I.D. Witnesses said that Thomas, a student at Indiana University, was asked by an unidentified man if he were gay and when Thomas replied, "No," the man hit him with either a fist or a bottle.

People in Bloomington and I agree, fists look a lot like glass bottles. Regardless, Little Zeke was arrested on misdemeanor charges of disorderly conduct, illegal consumption of alcohol, being a minor in a tavern and for his father shitting all over the Knicks franchise. I may or may not have made up one of those charges.

Homgren Returns

I know I’m a little late on this, but Mike Holmgren announced Tuesday that he’ll be returning for one more season with the Seahawks. “This will be my last year,” he said. “We are going to make it the best year ever.”

The 59-year-old veteran of 16 seasons as an NFL head coach announced his decision Tuesday to fulfill the final year of his contract, after spending the weekend with his wife at their offseason Arizona home.

It took a whole weekend at home with his wife for him to realize he didn’t want to be there. That's sweet.

T.O. Picks Up Something...Interesting

Dallas fans might soon be kicking themselves for the way they treated Jessica Simpson. And by that I mean they might be pining after her non-diseased ass.

Wide receiver Terrell Owens was spotted exchanging numbers with...wait for it...Paris Hilton on Tuesday. The heirhead celebutard retard was in Texas promoting her new "comedy" The Hottie and the Nottie (wait until it comes on cable) and she threw an after-party at the W Hotel in Highland Park Village. T.O. was in attendance and Perez Hilton says the two were seen exchanging diseases phones and typing in numbers.

Texas Stadium will implode before letting Paris Hilton taint its seats.
