Sex, Drugs & Athletes received mixed reviews in its first run last week, so I might make a few changes to try to lighten things up a little bit. But like any good research, more feedback needs to occur before I make any drastic changes.
Besides, you cannot make everyone happy all the time anyway. As long as someone out there gets some enjoyment out of this column, it will be well worth my time. And then Hell’s Kitchen will start a new season, and we all can forget about this train wreck.
By the way, I think I might be the only person to not see The Dark Knight yet. But I do have my tickets for the midnight showing of The X-Files 2 tomorrow night!!!
This week in the roundup: Reggie Bush, Tom Brady, Roger Clemens and Ashley Harkleroad. Enjoy after the jump.
Reggie Bush, New Orleans Saints’ enigmatic runningback, wants his girlfriend Kim Kardashian to lose some of the junk in her trunk.
I know Kim is not endeared by many, but I actually happen to like her just a little bit more than the average guy. She can be pretty sexy and seems genuine on her television show, Keeping up with the Kardashians. Plus she blogs.
I certainly do not like her for her caboose, though, and I agree with Reggie here. That’s just gross.
I know she may be famous — infamous, perhaps? — for all the wrong reasons, but she is dating one of the NFL’s biggest stars at the moment (although that could change very quickly if Bush fails to have a better season in 2008 than he did in 2007). If your man is a ridiculous-looking athlete, the least you could do is keep a nice toned ass.
Tom Brady, the New England Patriots’ pretty boy quarterback, must have read this column here at The Microcosm.
Brady and his love interest, Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen, were photographed surfing recently as the quarterback recovers from the Patriots’ almost perfect season. Brady and the Pats won 19 straight games in 2007 before losing to the New York Giants in the Super Bowl.
Bundchen, unlike Kardashian, is smokin’ hot all the way down. You go Tom.
Roger Clemens, former Major League Baseball star turned steroid and human growth hormone (HGH) suspect, apparently received shipments of HGH in the mail according to the New York Daily News.
Clemens has vehemently denied using any type of artificial enhancement since being named in the Mitchell Report earlier this year. His legacy, however, as one of the greatest pitchers in MLB history has taken quite a hit.
Not going to lie, as much as I hated the Yankees and Red Sox growing up (Orioles’ fan), I liked Clemens. I thought he was a good-enough guy, a fierce competitor and an amazing talent in his sport. I felt the same way about Barry Bonds, for a time. But the association with steroid and/or HGH use will forever taint both men’s legacies, even if they never touched the stuff.
Ashley Harkleroad, budding tennis superstar player, appeared in the latest edition of Playboy.
At least she is making a name for herself off-the-court, because I will be honest: Never heard of her before the Playboy spread.
Harkleroad continues a string of female athletes appearing in Playboy. Amanda Beard, American Olympic swimmer, also recently appeared in Playboy.
Harkleroad is pretty darn sexy. If she never makes it on the tennis court, she always has her looks. Sounds like Anna Kournikova, no?
Now if only Kournikova would agree to do a spread.

Ok, first things first: sex, drugs & athletes has made a splash. It did sort of premiere in the middle of a gluttonous gorging of The Dark Knight extravaganza, but it will recover nicely, now that the fervor is beginning to wane.
As for Kim Kardashian, baby got back. She is Armenian, which is ethnically as close as you get to Persian, so I know her kind. I like big butts and I… cannot keep saying it enough. That’s not to say that I don’t think Giselle isn’t twenty steps up on the walk of beauty, but… the Eva Mendes’ of the world look so… fertile :).
As for Roger Clemens, well, if I were Barry Bonds I would be breaking out the bubbly. Barry Bond’s thoughts, “Thank you white boy. ‘Bout time.”
“Bout time”?? Did Barry get a Frontal Lobotomy? That wouldn’t explain the memory lapse…
Haze, I thoroughly enjoy the “Sex, Drugs & Athletes” posts… Exploring the “normality” of athletes is one of the reasons that I got into blogging… The mainstream sports media survives on the “superhuman” image of athletes so it is rare that we can read about our favorite athlete and understand that they are
normalfreaks…As an athlete it makes sense that Reggie would want Kim to tone up but as a black man…its just unheard of. I know guys, my boyfriend included that would eat breakfast lunch and dinner off that ass AND ask for seconds…
With that classy point out of the way, may I request a blog article about I dunno this amazingly historic election that’s swirling around us as I type??? It’s slightly sad that there’s three articles about the The Dark Night and not one about the campaigns..I mean even Perez Hilton talks about it occasionally for gods sake
musicincursive, I will soon be heeding to your request. I too have been disappointed in myself for not addressing the current election. Article ASAP, but until then, have a looksy at this old article that is not totally irrelevant: http://themicrocosm.wordpress.com/2008/01/30/prediction-o-bama/
Just got home from the midnight showing of The X-Files 2 … Loved it! If you get a chance, maybe catch a matinee. I do recommend.
Oh, Thanks! Really amazing. Big ups!
