Don King’s spokesman Robert Weneck said the truck full of 2,000 turkeys bound for South Florida went missing over night. The truck was found abandoned near Pompano Beach sometime Friday morning, according to Weneck.

Blue Pulaski's 2011 Man Of The Year

The 2011 Man of The Year award was a unanimous choice. The hands-down winner received 100% of the one vote counted and I think you'll agree that nobody is more deserving of this prestigious honor than Mr. 3000 himself, Derek Jeter...especially after reading this report from the New York Post's smokeshow reporter Tara Palmeri:

“Derek has girls stay with him at his apartment in New York, and then he gets them a car to take them home the next day. Waiting in his car is a gift basket containing signed Jeter memorabilia, usually a signed baseball,” the friend dished.

“This summer, he ended up hooking up with a girl who he had hooked up with once before, but Jeter seemed to have forgotten about the first time and gave her the same identical parting gift, a gift basket with a signed Derek Jeter baseball,” the pal said. “He basically gave her the same gift twice because he’d forgotten hooking up with her the first time!”

Now, you're boy Blue is by no means some Yankee honk, in fact I've spent most of my life hating on the man and socially rumor-mongering about a false intimate relationship with teammate and noted swinger, A-rod. But I'm maturing in my old age, I'm learning to appreciate the significant accomplishments of Jeter and have begun to see him for what he really is, a genteel lover and a role model.

So congratulations Mr. Jeter and here's to another 3,000! (Due to HHR budget constraints we were not able to produce a commemorative video, so please just listen to the narration of this trailer for the HBO documentary on Jeter's quest for 3,000 and see if you can determine with certainty whether they're talking about his quest for 3,000 hits on the field or if they're in fact referring to his chase for 3,000 babes off it...)

Actor Mounts Campaign to Be Cast as Magic

After retweeting a press release announcing the casting of Tug Coker as Larry Bird and noting my interest in the coming-soon-to-Broadway Magic Bird, I was hit up with a Tweet from actor Leonard Dozier who (with a release of his own) is vying to play Bird's rival opposite Coker.

From the release...

Thus, miscasting either of these icons, even with the right names, can be catastrophic for the production.

On the other hand, casting a Magic that looks, sounds and acts like him maybe critical to this production with Bird already cast. Leonard Dozier, a 6'4 actor and former basketball player, would be quite convincing as Magic. While his name wouldn't have theatergoers rushing to the box-office, the word of mouth about his performance would. Besides, those not interested in sports or Magic and Bird aren't going regardless.

Judge for yourself with Dozier's sizzle real which includes his best Magic impression, a little singing and, of course, baby sky hooks.
