Smith, Woodson among six entering NFL Hall of Fame
Superstar defenders Bruce Smith and Rod Woodson were among six men inducted into the American Football Hall of Fame at enshirement ceremonies here at the sporting honor shrine.

Also inducted Saturday were Bills owner Ralph Wilson, guard Randall McDaniel and two posthumous honorees - linebacker Derrick Thomas and receiver Bob Hayes. That boosts the number of people in the Hall of Fame to 253.

Smith, the long-time Buffalo Bills defensive end, is the National Football League's all-time quarterback sack leaders with 200 and was twice named the NFL Defensive Player of the Year. Smith played for 18 seasons.

"I have come full circle," Smith said. "This induction into the Hall of Fame marks my passage into football's immortality."

Woodson played for four teams in 17 NFL seasons but made his fame in a decade with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He intercepted 71 passes and returned them for NFL career records of 1,483 yards and 12 touchdowns.

"It's an honor. I thought about what I was going to say, but to be on this stage, it's a whirlwind," Woodson said. "It's more than putting on the jacket -- it's being part of the elite team of pro football. I'm very humbled."

McDaniel was an All-Star blocker in 12 of his 14 NFL seasons while Wilson helped found the American Football League half a century ago, leading to a 1970 merger that created the modern NFL.

Thomas, who made an NFL record seven sacks in one game, died in a car accident in 2000 at age 33.

Hayes, who won two gold medals in athletics at the 1964 Olympics, spent 11 seasons in the NFL living up to the nickname "Bullet Bob". He caught 371 passes for 7,414 yards and 71 touchdowns. He died in 2002 at age 59.

Tiger Woods wins Buick in style but what about that fart on the 18th?

Sometimes you have to be convinced that you actually heard what you thought you heard. A Youtube.com video posted around the Internet has me laughing at myself. Why didn't I just go with my first instinct and realize the unmistakable sounds of a long, pronounced fart?

There was a lovely scene developing at the 18th green. Tiger, with a three-shot lead, was in the fairway, comfortable with the knowledge that he would win what could be the final Buick Open in at the Warwick Hills golf course in Grand Blanc Township, Michigan. Recap available,

We were reminded constantly about the state of the economy, the automotive industry bail-out, the continued struggles of GM, the end of the Buick sponsorship of Tiger Woods and how grateful the tournament sponsors and the crowd were that Tiger graced their grounds.

And then the fart sound is picked up on the microphones nearby, Tiger says, "Are you serious?", caddy Stevie Williams and he share a giggle, he turns to the side to continue to enjoy the moment and we are never told by the announcers what just happened. They, of course, don't acknowledge it happened. I'll bet you that when they went to break that the randy Mr. Nick Faldo had a giggle over it.

Listen for yourself and you tell me if it was a pre-recorded sound, a real human fart and if you think it came from Stevie, Tiger or a cameraman.

He can hit Manny Pacquiao with pulverizing punches.

She can smash Pacman, and the key part of the name is “man,” with a glittering and stylish purse.

He can talk smack about how he will destroy the Pinoy Idol. He has even sparred with the Mancunian idol Ricky Hatton who, as far as I know, has no plans to become Rochelle Hatton.

She can give Manny a smack, a smooch, with freshly glossed lipstick.

He is Rob Newbiggin, journeyman boxer from the United Kingdom.

She is Melissa, the woman inside the boxer who is about bloom fully with medical treatment to enhance his/her/its estrogen.

They are one and the same.

I’ve found the ultimate opponent for Pacquiao, a foe against whom Manny can make ring history and ring herstory simultaneously.

I think we should call it “Shim Versus Pacman.”

Forget about tennis playing Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs or Sorenstam or any woman golfer trying to outdo the boys on the professional links.

This fight would truly be “The Battle of the Sexes,” with the emphasis and underline on sexes, plural.
I don’t know about you, ahem, guys but the very concept sends a tingle up my skirt. Imagine how stimulating it must be to Professor Dumbledore, Bernie Vee, Arcadia and the other acidic comment posters you read underneath my columns.

Surely, Roberta, I mean promoter Robert Arum would get the appeal of this Mixed Match instantly.

We can subtitle it “Gender Bender” and open up a world of sponsor tie-ins you can’t lure for a man fighting another man.

Obviously, given Rob’s new chosen name, I’d think the Mercedes carmakers would be fascinated and quite eager to open up their purses, I mean pockets.

And how about the inevitable HBO 24/7 program which could tell the tail of Newbiggin.

The baby (boy but confused) was born in Pennsylvania in September of 1964 and was quickly ditched by his South American parents.

The child had high levels of estrogen and, according to him, was “intersexuall and not truly classified as male or female.

Obama’s desire to trash the status quo in heath care and bring online a single payer system in the U.S. is revealed in this shocking uncovered video. Congress, who has never managed anything efficiently, has screwed up America at every twist and turn. Remember their failures social security, Medicare, cash for clunkers and take it in the polling booth with you in 2010

President Barack Obama says that his health care plan that is currently being shuffled through Congress won't eliminate private insurance. We proved a few weeks ago that this is wrong...the American people will be forced into a public option that will turn into a single payer system.
