			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hey, Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O&#8217;Neal has a question for you:</p>
<p><strong>How does his ass taste?</strong></p>
<p>That&#8217;s the most frequent lyric in the rap below, as Shaq took the stage at a night club and freestyled his way into controversy.</p>
<p>The Suns center rapped about Kobe&#8217;s failure to win a ring without him, while also blaming Bryant for his divorce from <a href="http://www.thesportstruth.com/2007/11/shaunie-oneal-takes-shaq-to-the-bank.html">Shaunie O&#8217;Neal</a>.</p>
<p>We love Shaq, but wish he&#8217;d continued to have taken the high road, ignoring Kobe&#8217;s failures. They&#8217;re being covered enough by critics these days without the big fella chiming in.</p>
<p>Take a look and listen and let us know your thoughts:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Terrible news out of the mouth of Maria Sharapova this weekend:</p>
<p>The tennis beauty that&#8217;s known almost as much for her legs as her forehand will be abandoning her short skirts at Wimbledon this year.</p>
<p>“I’m going with the traditional shorts, believe it or not,” said Sharapova, the event&#8217;s 2004 champion. “I’ve never worn shorts at a Grand Slam&#8230; Call it menswear, obviously. It’s kind of like a tuxedo look, very simple lines, classic.”</p>
<p>Fret not, fans. There&#8217;s always this <a href="http://www.thesportstruth.com/2007/09/a-maria-sharapova-upskirt-photo.html">Maria Sharapova upskirt</a> shot to enjoy.</p>

<p>The NFL stars each attended WrestleMania, although they didn&#8217;t arrive together. Bush came with girlfriend Kim Kardashian, who was the &#8220;hostess&#8221; of the <a href="http://www.thewrestlingpost.com/categories/wwe/">WWE</a> event, while White arrived with Snoop Dogg&#8217;s entourage.</p>

<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s always fun hanging out with Reggie,&#8221; said White. &#8220;He came here with Kim and I came with Snoop but we&#8217;ve been hanging with each other going on six years.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When Upper Deck&#8217;s &#8220;Presidential Predictors&#8221; baseball card set was recently released, it lacked one of the prominent Democratic contenders.</p>
<p>Why was Hillary Clinton&#8217;s card yanked from the set? The Former First Lady - as Morganna the Kissing Bandit - was <a href="http://johnsterling.blogspot.com/2008/02/hillary-clinton-baseball-card-as.html" target="_blank">deemed offensive</a> by some.</p>
<p>&#8220;There was some concern by some of the people that it might be offensive,&#8221; said an Upper Deck spokesperson.</p>
<p>The image that caused such internal concern? See below &#8230;<br />
<a href="http://www.thesportstruth.com/gallery/hillary-clinton-baseball-card/"></a></p>

<p> Upper Deck said in a statement that it will put a new, less offensive version of <a href="http://www.donkeydish.com/politicians/hillary-clinton/">Hillary Clinton</a> in Series II.</p>
<p>We hope it involves her getting an HGH injection from <a href="http://www.thesportstruth.com/2008/02/live-blog-from-the-congressional-hearings.html">Brian McNamee</a>.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The Sports Truth senior editor, <a href="http://www.thesportstruth.com/wp-content/uploads/2006/08/4298356.jpg">Lucas Dwyer</a>, provides us with his thoughts in a live-blog from the Roger Clemens/Brian McNamee congressional hearings.</em></p>
<p>2:42 PM: An utterly preposterous day.  Did anyone learn anything we didn&#8217;t already know?  Everyone keeps saying that someone lied, but we&#8217;re never going to know who and even though we all suspect it is Clemens, how are we ever going to prove it?  With McNamee&#8217;s &#8220;evidence&#8221; of blood stained swabs and needles that he&#8217;s kept for seven years?  Virginia Foxx summed it up best when she said that the proceedings were a waste of money.  I agree.</p>
<p>2:41 PM: We&#8217;re adjourned!  Four hours and 41 minutes!  Also gotta love the chairman sushing Clemens as he attempted to interrupt the proceedings.</p>
<p>2:40 PM: The chairman has just apologized to McNamee for the conduct of the congressman who violated the rules by making comments about McNamee.  Is anyone surprised Congress&#8217; approval rate is below 25%?</p>
<p>2:30 PM: &#8220;If we had 89 players here, I&#8217;d feel better about this hearing, but we have one,&#8221; because he&#8217;s famous.  Where&#8217;s Jack Cust, huh?</p>
<p>2:30 PM: &#8220;Mr. McNamee, you&#8217;re a drug dealer.&#8221;  Thanks Congressman, REAL productive.</p>
<p>2:25 PM: The praise Pettitte is receiving is a little much.  The guy seems to be telling the truth more than Clemens, but he confirmed yesterday that he&#8217;s already lied about his HGH use.  In fact, the reasons he sighted for lying are basically the same reasons McNamee has sighted for lying, yet, McNamee is vilified and Pettitte is glorified.  Amazing.</p>
<p>2:19 PM: Virginia Foxx really lights up the room with her revelation that she doesn&#8217;t know what evidence is.  And then the chairman shuts her up.  Well done chairman.</p>
<p>2:12 PM: Does anyone really believe that Clemens didn&#8217;t know that the Mitchell report wanted to talk to him?  Seriously.  They seem to have contacted everyone BUT Clemens?  Right&#8230;</p>
<p>2:10 PM: Roger Clemens invokes the 1996 Dan Duquette comment that he was in the twilight of his career.  This guy is STILL so angry about this comment.  I love it.</p>
<p>2:10 PM: Virginia Foxx: &#8220;Roger, could you please talk about your training regimin with respect to these photos?&#8221; Roger Clemens: &#8220;why thank you, Virginia, I&#8217;d LOVE to talk about it.  You see&#8230;&#8221;</p>
<p>2:09 PM: Gotta love when someone starts a line of questioning by saying &#8216;I&#8217;m not an expert, but&#8230;&#8217;</p>
<p><span id="more-829"></span> 2:05 PM: And then she destroys her own credibility by saying &#8216;we will see&#8217; after McNamee says he does not have a book deal.  No kidding Virginia.</p>
<p>2:04 PM: Congresswoman Virginia Foxx infusing some realism to these proceedings by proclaiming how stupid they are and that they waste money.</p>
<p>2:03 PM: Are you kidding me?  This jamoke wants a discussion of the phrase &#8216;it is what it is&#8217;?  He&#8217;s alleging that it&#8217;s a New York phrase?  It&#8217;s a general phrase.  </p>
<p>2:01 PM: Congressman John Tierney, great work, thanks for coming.  What a waste of time.</p>
<p>1:52 PM: Great bright blue tie from Rusty.  Good choice.</p>
<p>1:44 PM: Congressman Braley asks why Clemens eats vegetables.  I hope he now gets a text message from his &#8217;sick&#8217; saying that he won&#8217;t be eating his vegetables anymore and will now be taking B-12&#8230;from Brain McNamee.</p>
<p>1:43 PM: I love the angle that Clemens took B-12 because his mother said it was a good idea in 1988.</p>
<p>1:43 PM: Maybe Clemens should have said he was diagnosed with Alzheimer&#8217;s, he could probably explain away a lot of this.</p>
<p>1:42 PM: Thanks for that soliloquy on what McNamee should do with the rest of his life congressman Braley.</p>
<p>1:41 PM: Congressman Bruce Braley looks like he just got out of law school.  Ha!  This guy has a son who&#8217;s text messaging him DURING the proceedings because his son is home &#8220;sick&#8221; from school watching the proceedings on TV!  </p>
<p>1:38 PM: I can&#8217;t wait to start a manhunt for Roger Clemens and find him in a hole like Saddam Hussein with his USA jersey on.  Apparently he&#8217;s an easy person to find because he pitches for his country (with moderate effectiveness, I might add).</p>
<p>1:37 PM: Clemens is digging his own grave with this &#8216;I would have gone to see Mitchell if I had known I was being implicated for steroid use&#8217; angle.  What else did they want to talk to you about?  And if it wasn&#8217;t that, why wouldn&#8217;t you go?</p>
<p>1:35 PM: Oh, congressman Duncan, the syringes would not be admissible in court?  Really?  Glad you&#8217;re hear to clear that up for us with your many years as a criminal defense lawyer.  Glad you&#8217;re here.  While were at it, would anything else that&#8217;s been conducted today not be admissible in court?</p>
<p>1:34 PM: Yes, Congressman Duncan, you do have better things to do with your time than hold these preposterous hearings about steroids in baseball.  I&#8217;m glad you cleared that up.  This is surpassed in ridiculousness only by Senator Arlon Spector&#8217;s crusade against SpyGate.</p>
<p>1:33 PM: Hahaha, hypothetical questions.  &#8220;Mr. McNamee, if a bomb sniffing dog were released in Washington, DC, and, hypothetically, found a bomb in your car, how would you deny those allegations?&#8221;</p>
<p>1:31 PM: Oooooo, a secret recording!</p>
<p>1:28 PM: Great, here we go with nanny-gate again&#8230;</p>
<p>1:26 PM: Ha, McNamee obtained a PhD from a defunct university.  That&#8217;s hysterical.</p>
<p>1:25 PM: &#8220;Please explain how you obtained an advanced degree.&#8221;  Thanks Congressman, no one knows how this works.  Real complicated stuff.</p>
<p>1:23 PM: Moron congressman clairifies that Clemens is talking about BBQ, not JUST a party.</p>
<p>1:20 PM: Nanny-gate commences again.</p>
