Not only is Howard Stern throwing a “beauty pageant” for Tiger Woods’ mistresses early next month, but the radio host is pulling pranks as well.Stern’s radio co-host, Captain Janks, pretended to be Brian Westbrook, by calling into SportsCenter and discussing his dismissal from the Philadelphia Eagles after eight seasons. Janks went on to say, “…nothing but respect for head coach Andy Reid and I look forward to a future of worshiping the prostate of Howard Stern.”

BUZZ Like many Americans, I found myself sitting at home on Saturday night watching Apolo Anton Ohno try to make history. Ohno was going for his record setting seventh Olympic medal, by trying to win a podium spot in his last and final race of this year’s Olympic Games, the 1000m short track speed skating race.

While I waited in anticipation, they started announcing the athletes and I couldn’t help but be annoyed and almost bored of the fact that Ohno was warming up and would continually yawn. It turned me off. Although, I quickly got over it when the race started and Ohno was competing against two brothers from the hometown favorite Canada, and two South Korean teammates. Ohno held his own and in a dramatic finished captured his third bronze and seventh overall medal of his career.

BUZZ The chants rang out in the fourth quarter, and again in the overtime period. “We Want T-MAC” echoed throughout an arena full of fans whose faith in a long-term plan may actually be rewarded. In a wildly entertaining extra period affair, new additions Tracy McGrady, Eddie House, and Sergio Rodriguez played critical roles in staking the Knicks to an overtime lead that dissipated in the final seconds courtesy of the late game heroics by the fastest rising star in the league. Even though Oklahoma City Thunder superstar Kevin Durant stole the evening, he recognized there will be better nights ahead for Knicks fans and their new go-to guy.

SPORTS BIZ America’s winter sweetheart has played her part at the Vancouver games – a gold medal in the downhill and today, a bronze in the super G, and still 2 events remaining. While all USA fans were pulling for Vonn to dominate all of her signature events, it is safe to say that Vonn’s shin has moderately limited her.

Vonn has clearly tranceded her sport, broadening the Olympic audience prooving that she is more than just another athlete competing for the gold. Right after she crashed during her 2nd race in the super combined, she was asked to comment on Tiger Woods’ statement, given Friday morning.

BUZZ This video is a perfect example of how soft the Golf Channel is with their coverage of Tiger Woods and the rest of the PGA. Charlie Rymer gets choked up, sympathizing with Woods, saying how difficult it is to watch somebody go through what Woods is experiencing.

This performance by Rymer is laughable, it is obvious that Charlie Rymer has made a career out of being a kiss-ass with athletes, not shooting the public straight. The Golf Channel is clearly afraid to critisize the PGA players out of fear that they will be excluded from interviews, content, etc.

Upon watching Wood’s statement yesterday morning, Allred decided to address her client concerns over the radio. She referred to Tiger’s statement as a “staged public relations stunt.”

BUZZ With Randy Moss entering the final year of his 3-year, $27 million contract extension with the New England Patriots, the question is how much longer can his productivity continue and are his ongoing off the field issues worth another hefty extension?

Moss signed his previous contract extension following his record breaking 2007 season and while his numbers haven’t slumped (83 catches; 1,264 yards; 13 touchdowns in 2009), he did turn 33 on February 13th and his ability to continue to produce at a historically high level can only last so long.
