Pacquiao was sworn in to the Philippines’ House of Representatives on Monday in the southern province of Sarangani.

“He wants change,” Pacquiao’s trainer, Freddie Roach, said of Pacquiao before the boxer won the election. “I think it’s genuine. People see that he wants to help his country, and that’s why they’re voting. That’s why they support him.”

Pacquiao accepted his third Fighter of the Year award June 4 after a year that featured a spectacular second-round knockout of Ricky Hatton to win a 140-pound belt and a brutal 12th-round stoppage of Miguel Cotto that gave Pacquiao titles in a record seven divisions.

“When he fights they close down Parliament and all the terrorists call for a peace,” Roach said in May, only half jokingly. “It’s not going to change anything. They’ll just announce him as Congressman Manny Pacquiao, that’s all.”

Promoter Bob Arum will continue work on perhaps the most highly anticipated fight in decades, between Pacquiao and the undefeated Floyd Mayweather Jr. The two nearly reached an agreement to fight earlier this year, but negotiations broke down when Mayweather insisted on Olympic-style drug testing and Pacquiao refused to have blood drawn within 24 days of a fight.

But Arum said that Pacquiao is now willing to have blood tests within 14 days of the fight, the cutoff point that Mayweather had agreed to in the first go-around.

Arum also said he believes the fight, which would likely happen in November, will end up in Las Vegas rather than Cowboys Stadium or another venue that could pack upward of 100,000 fans.

She/He is being doubted as a woman for obvious reasons. What do you think? Comment with your thoughts

Currently if a player hires a prostitute and strangles her, he  gets a slap on the wrist compared to the average player. But if Chad Ocho Cinco scores a touchdown and follows it with a “hooker strangler” end-zone dance . .  you had better believe that is humiliation on the highest of levels. No amount of fines could rival the embarrassment that would come from that video. So we’ve put together a list of potential NFL celebrations that have yet to be done. 

The Stallworth - The Stallworth is where upon scoring a touchdown, the offensive player that scores gets into a Tonka Truck, similar to what little children play with, and you push yourself forward while drinking a beer and strike an opposing player.

Difficulty (out of 5) – 4 It would be very hard to get into a kids play car originally, only the smaller players could pull it off, and then to chase down an NFL player in it would be nearly impossible. But cleats give you a strong push so it can be done if the right player attempts it.

Possible players : Steve Smith, TJ Houshmandzadeh, Darren Sproles

Creativity- 3 It is a 3 because people do this all the time. Tons of NFL players have DUIs so they know how and probably have driven while drinking. But it still gets a three because very few people come up with the idea to chase someone down and try to hit them with a kids play car.

Bas ass rating- 4 There is nothing cool about drunk driving and manslaughter, but to be one of the smallest guys on the field and to attempt to chase someone down in a kids toy is pretty ballsy. And if one manages to pull it off, then they will go down as legends similar to OJ Simpson and Rae Carruth.

Likelihood of getting fined/suspended- 3 For imitating someone who killed somebody will get you into Goodell’s doghouse, but as long as you do not seriously hurt the guy you hit and stop as soon as you do it, you will be fine. Consider Stallworth actually killed someone and he got only 24 days in jail.

The Chris Brown - The Chris Brown requires a lot of pre-game planning and confidence. Firstly you must purchase a hooker prior to the game, and the confidence to know you are going to score a touchdown that game. Upon scoring a touchdown, the player must run over to the hooker on the sidelines and deck her in the face, repeatedly.

Difficulty- 1 This move is definitely the easiest because requires zero skills and zero morality. You simply have to score a touchdown and then beat the hell out of a woman. Simple, most football players do that anyways so now they just have to do it in a game.

Possible players- Reuben Droughns, Sanonio Holmes, OJ Simpson, Ricky Williams

Creativity- 2 Again not very creative because it is something that goes on a lot. But to bring a hooker to the field and punch her repeatedly takes some guts and courage, and a little stupidity. The Chris Brown is worth a two but not any more

Bad-ass rating- 3 Beating up a woman is not bad-ass at all, but doing in front of 60,000 people makes you more ridiculous but also more ballsy and thus more bad-ass
Likelihood of Fine/Suspension: 5 Not only did you perform one illegal thing, buying a hooker, you also beat her ass in front of thousands of fans. You will no doubt receive a significant fine and suspension, but you may go to jail too.

The Greg Paulus – The Greg Paulus is when a teammate scores a touchdown and attempts to dunk the football over the goalpost. And when he does you run under him and flop to the ground as his nuts go squarely into your face.

Difficulty- 3 Although this move seems rather simple, one must plan it well so that your teammate takes off without him noticing you waiting in his path for his nuts. You also must throw away all pride and confidence because you are a bitch

Possible Players: Joe Jurevicius, Matt Cassel, any other white guy.

Creativity- 4 This move is adapted from another sport and it is done by a player that no one likes so it takes some mind power to come up with this trick. Also you need low self esteem and liking to homo-erotic things for this to work.

Bad-ass rating- 0 There is absolutely nothing bad ass about this move. You voluntarily run under your own teammates so that he can dunk on you as you fall to the ground with his nuts all in your grill

Likelihood of Fine/Suspension: 1 Well the NFL may fine you for partaking in another players celebration, the NFL is not your problem, its your own team. You act will upset a lot of people and they will openly try to fight you so the NFL is not your problem there.

The Lebron - The Lebron requires a player, upon entering the end zone, to quickly grab a number 23 Cleveland Cavaliers jersey and put it on and then grab some white powder and throw it in the air above you.

Difficulty- 4 The difficult part of this maneuver is the entrance into the end-zone. In a quick movement you must cross the goal line, put on a Cavaliers jersey and grab white powder. After that the move is quite simple but that initial move gives it the high rating.

Possible players: Terrell Owens, Chad Ocho-Cinco, Steve Smith

Creativity- 4 This move requires a lot of preparation and a lot of thinking about how to get the jersey and white powder on you when you cross into the end zone This move also requires you to imitate one of the biggest stars in sports so you must be unique when you go for it.

Bad-ass rating- 4 Again you are imitating the best basketball player in the world, so you need to do it with confidence and swagger or else you will get embarrassed. Got to go big or go home so in the end it better be real bad ass

Likelihood of Fines/Suspension- 3 Introducing outside objects into a celebration is usually an immediate fine or suspension, so you are going to get something. But since it is an impersonation of another great athlete, im sure the league would go easy on you because they would not want to offend LBJ.

The Nerd – The Nerd is where upon scoring a touchdown, the player grabs a pre placed Segway and frolics about the field on the two wheeled vehicle.

Difficulty- 2 This move is rather easy to perform considering it warrants no real skill. But similar to The Chris Brown, it requires placing an outside object on the side of the field so that no one notices it, which is quite a feat.

Possible players- Adam Vinatieri, Matt Cassel, Matt Leinart

Creativity- 5 The NFL is not a league that is usually associated with nerds, so for a player to swallow their pride and perform this groundbreaking celebration, they must have a lot of creativity. Also allows for further innovations with a new celebration while riding on the Segway, imagine the possibilities.

Bad ass rating: 3 The bad ass rating can vary a great deal around how the driver uses the Segway. For instance, if the player were to say shotgun a beer then his rating would be a five, or if he just rode it around for a minute or two then that would be a one. The Segway could revolutionize the endzone dance so look out.
Likelihood of Fine/Suspension: 5 Introducing an outside object to a celebration is an automatic fine so you definitely will be fined but how much will be determined by ones actions on the Segway

The Vick – The Vick is where upon scoring a touchdown, the player grabs a Rottweiler or a Pit Bull and hops on its back and proceeds to ride the dog throughout the stadium. All the while, his teammates hold sombreros and various drugs.

Difficulty: 5 Have you ever tried to ride a dog? It is nearly impossible especially when you are a 200 pound NFL player. The harder part is for the teammates to find sombreros and hide drugs on themselves throughout a game hoping for the touchdown.

Possible players: Clinton Portis, Ray Lewis, Chad Ocho-Cinco

Creativity: 3 This scenario has been played out a lot in the media but having the guts and confidence to pull this off deserves a good creativity rating. The integration of all Vick’s past sins makes it creative and difficult to pull off.

Bad ass rating- 4 Again there is nothing bad ass about the crimes that Vick was convicted of, but in this celebration no dogs were hurt and if performed correctly, there will be a NFL player riding a dog around the field, thats bad ass.

Likelihood of Fine/Suspension: 5 This will get all involved fined heavily and suspended indefinitely. Harking back to the dark days of Vick’s career is a no-no for NFL players so any mention would for sure warrant a harsh punishment. Also the teammates have drugs on the field so that won’t work out well for them.

The Obama – The Obama is where upon scoring a touchdown, the player hops into a hospital bed and props his legs up like he is about to give birth. His teammates gather around and remove the football from the players arm as if it is a baby. Upon the “birth” of the football, the teammates provide the mother and the government with a signed birth certificate verifying the citizenship of the football. This celebration can only be performed at the Pro Bowl in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Difficulty: 5 This celebration requires a lot of planning and skill to pull it off in the one game a year where it is acceptable. You first have to be elected to the Pro Bowl, then you have to score a touchdown in the game, and then perform the intricate celebration. By far the most difficult celebration to ever be performed. This move requires confidence, planning, and an immense amount of skill because it is replicating the birth of our President and must be done to perfection or you are disgracing his name.

Possible Players: Ryan Leaf, Jeremy Shockey, Kellen Winslow

Bad ass rating- 5 Although giving birth is rather un-bad ass, to perform it at the Pro Bowl with a real life hospital bed is quite impressive. One need not explain the importance of the birth of Obama as he is our President. Impersonating him requires a lot of confidence and this celebration would spit in the face of the “birther” crowd that do not acknowledge Obama’s citizenship.

Likelihood of Fine/Suspension: 1 Because this celebration can only be performed at the Pro Bowl, the odds of suspension or fines are low because the game is for pure entertainment value and this would surely entertain. This would be a great way to get the President’s attention on football and it would get a lot of news coverage.

The Roethlisberger – The Roethlisberger is where upon scoring a touchdown, the player proceeds to grab a pre-placed motorcycle and drive it around the field while eating a doughnut. To finish the celebration, the player must wreck on the motorcycle. For bonus points upon crashing the player can combo into the Chris Brown and rape a pre-placed hooker.

Difficulty: 4 (5 with the Chris Brown Combo) This celebration is not all that difficult but it does require some manliness to willingly crash a motorcycle in the middle of a game. Pre-placing the motorcycle out of view from the fans and your coach is also quite difficult but can be done.

Bad ass rating: 4 This would get a 5 if it were not for the crash at the end. It is pretty bad ass to grab a Harley off the sidelines and cruise around the field embarrassing the other team.

Likelihood of Fine/Suspension: 5 Introducing a outside object with definitely get you a fine and maybe a small suspension, but if you combo The Roethlisberger with the Chris Brown, you are looking at a solid 30 days in prison so this is definitely worthy of its five rating.

Possible Players: Terrell Owens, Chad Ocho-Cinco, Donovan McNabb

I says I was goin’ ta New Yorks. Den Miami. Den Green Bey’. Den I’s gonna take ovah Minnesota . . . BYAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!

Hansbrough: Tyler like NASCAR. Tyler get bored putting ball through hoop. I ugh, Tyler decided he goes to NASCAR race this weekend. Crowd thinks Tyler waved green flag. Tyler held back 30,000 HP of cars with his hand . . . then said “GO”.

ESPN: So you held back 20+ cars . . . then said “GO”?

Hansbrough: Tyler put ball in hoop.

ESPN: Yes, we know you’ve averaged 20 points, 9 rebounds in the summer leagues. But this is about your weekend at the races. I hear Junior happens to be your favorite . . . where were you when “The Crash” happened?

Hansbrough: Tyler wrecks lanes.

ESPN: No, the crash of Dale Sr . . .  one of the most notable events in NC history. Not basketball lanes. 

Hansbrough: *Blank stare*

ESPN: Have you ever been to a NASCAR race Tyler?

Hanbrough: Tyler go one time . . . .

Hansbrough: *Blank stare as he recalls above memory* . . . Tyler not allowed back.

ESPN: That sounds . . . like a bad memory. Is there anything else you’re thinking about at this moment?

Hansbrough: Ever heard of the Tyler-Bow?

There once was a fat ass named Big Ben.

Ben was rich and famous. He was also a quarterback.

There once was a girl named Andrea McNulty. She worked for a hotel.

One day, Big Ben stayed at Andrea’s hotel. His TV broke while he was waxing off to old reruns of Saved by the Bell.

Frustrated, Big Ben called Andrea at the front desk.

“FIX MY TV” he said . . . so Andrea tried calling the electrician, and then her manager. No one answered.

“FIX MY TV” Big Ben once again exclaimed. With no other choice, Andrea went upstairs to fix Big Ben’s TV.

But the TV WORKED!

 But Saved by the Bell had ended. Big Ben wanted sexy time. His 6′5” fat ass blocked the doorway. Andrea said:

But Big Ben’s a NFL quarterback. Everyone wants a piece of his manly-motorcycle-surviving lard-ass. He began the countdown to blastoff. Andrea pleaded:

Since Big Ben doesn’t like being on bottom . . . and women can’t get pregnant on top he begins to calculate a solution to the situation. The game-plan was a 6-in-and-out on three:

Big Ben, a man of his word, continued to have his way with Andrea. Like the true 6′5” version of Ron Jeremy he is:

At that moment, he rolled over and Ben turned on Sports Center. Andrea was crying in the bathroom. The highlights were of Kobe Bryant. In a panic and after realizing what he had done he exclaims:

Andrea, embarrassed, worried, and now depressed fled the room. The next day, she visited the security guard to tell him about the situation. He told her that a lot of girls would love to have been in her situation, even the hotel manager.

Without any hope, Andrea went to the police. She wants Big Ben to pay up:

The end.

On Monday, July 20th, I will be crossing off one line of my bucket list-attend a WWE/WWF event. From 5th to 7th grade, I was a WWF fanatic, I watched wrestling five nights a week ranging from WWF Raw and Smackdownm to WCW Nitro on Wednesday nights. But as I matured wrestling became a thing of the past, a desperate attempt at enjoyment in the misery of puberty. But when college came around I found a group of people that understood what it is to watch Monday Night Raw, and the rest as we say is history.

Monday Night Raw in Raleigh, NC has been renamed RAWleigh and will most definitely change my life. Let me hit you with my expectations.

• The Guest Host ZZ Top will perform a song and undoubtedly get attacked in the ring and cause an intense change of events for the pay-per-view next Sunday.
• Mullets, Mullets, and more Mullets
• Edward 40 Hands for the whole crew
• Playing the epic RAW drinking game while in the stadium

I will post the RAW drinking game rules up on Monday, there are a lot of them and they are constantly changing so its a tough game to master.

            When it comes to the NFL, it seems their players can get away with a good bit more than the normal person. Whether if it’s the NFL’s PR department pulling multimillion-dollar strings, or the fact that these players have the disposable income to hire top-notch lawyers, it always seems like they are getting off the hook. From man slaughter with guns to running pedestrians over with cars, these players are not setting a great example for the rest of society.

QB – Micahel Vick:

Michael Vick was blessed with the ability to throw a football 70 yards and run as fast as any player in the league, but one thing he was not blessed with was the ability to make one good life decision. Vick has been a fixture in the news cycle for his various run ins with the law over the course of his career. Starting in 2004, Vick was involved in a drug arrest where two men were distributing marijuana in a car owned by Vick. This was only the beginning. Over the next few years, he had various run ins with women and airport security that were extremely embarrassing to the NFL and the Atlanta Falcons. 
 
Vick faced a rather bizarre lawsuit from a former friend, Sonya Elliot. Elliot claimed that Vick had knowingly and willingly infected her with Genital Herpes in April of 2003. She filed suit in March of 2005 seeking damages from the infection. Elliot claimed that Vick had never mentioned it before their encounter and when she confronted Vick he stated, “I’ve got something to tell you. I’ve got it.” Elliot also claimed that Vick sought test and treatment under the name “Ron Mexico.” The case was settled out of court but opposing fans had a lot of fun with the nickname.

The final straw was Vick pleading guilty to Conspiracy to Travel in Interstate Commerce in Aid of Unlawful Activities and to Sponsor a Dog in an Animal Fighting Venture. Federal Judge Hudson said he was “convinced that it was not a momentary lack of judgment” on Vick’s part, and that Vick was a “full partner” in the dog fighting ring, and he was sentenced to serve 23 months in federal prison. Vick ended up spending 19 months in Federal prison and recently was released to serve the rest of the sentence on house arrest. He is still awaiting trial for state charges in Virginia. 

WR – Donte Stallworth

Early in the morning on March 14th, 2009, Cleveland Brown’s Wide Receiver Donte Stallworth was driving back from a swanky Miami nightclub when suddenly his black 2005 Bentley struck a man as he crossed the road to catch a bus. Stallworth had been drinking when he struck the man but he immediately pulled over and alerted the authorities about the accident. After the accident he submitted himself to a sobreity test where he blew 0.126 Blood Alcohol Content, well above the legal limit to drive. 
 


On June 4th, 2009, Stallworth was charged with DUI Manslaughter, which could have netted him 15 years in prison. Throughout the case, Stallworth had complied with the authorities wanted and pled guilty and accepted full responsibility for his actions and the family of the victim wanted the case to end to end the emotional trauma, so the state attorney gave him a lenient sentence of 30 days in jail, two years house arrest, and then eight years probation with a separate financial settlement with the family of the victim. 
 
Stallworth’s future with the NFL and the Cleveland Browns is unknown but surely he will be punished heavily, Defensive End Leonard Little was suspended eight game in 1998, when the NFL was significantly more lenient on players. 

WR – Rae Carruth:

On November 16, 1999, Ray Carruth of the Carolina Panthers became the main suspect of the murder of Cherica Adams. At the time, she was pregnant with their daughter Chancellor. On this day, Cherica was found shot four times in a drive-by shooting that left her mangled on the floor. Cherica was able to call 911 and describe Carruth stopping his vehicle in front of hers as it shot into the car. She then described Carruth fleeing from the scene.

Adams was six months pregnant with Carruth’s child, which was born prematurely in the hospital. Cherica would later die on December 14. Carruth later posted the $3 million bail, but failed to turn himself in after the death of Cherica. He was later found in the trunk of a car in Tennessee with $3,900 cash, bottles holding his urine, extra clothes, candy bars, and a cell phone.  During the trial, Carruth was found guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, shooting into a vehicle, and using an instrument to destroy an unborn child. He is now serving an 19 years 11 months in Raleigh, North Carolina. 

WR – Michael Irvin

            Michael Irvin is hooked on the powder. He has probably done enough of it in his life to powder every nose in a small country, which is probably unacceptable for a professional athlete. In the late 90’s, Irvin kept the Texas district attorneys busy as he frequented the courtrooms for drug related charges. A former Dallas police officer named Johnnie Hernandez also allegedely had been plotting to have Irvin killed. He was arrested for paying an undercover DEA agent $2960 to have Irvin murdered.

RB – Travis Henry

            In 2002, this Buffalo Bills running back was named to the pro bowl following his terrific career with the University of Tennessee. In 2009, he as named the most Prolific Father of the Year on Father’s Day.   He has fathered at least 11 children from 10 different women. After dropping nearly $100,000 on a new car and $150,000 on jewelry, Travis admitted he is now broke as legal troubles and child support payments began to pile up.

            On September 30, 2008 Travis was arrested and jailed by the DEA after allegedly being involved in the transaction of several kilograms of cocaine in Colorado. The prosecutors have portrayed Henry as the main ‘money guy’ in the cocaine trafficking rings and he faced 10 years to life. On April 2, 2009 he reached a plea agreement.  Aside from a short term in prison, he will have to pay around $4 million in fines . . . roughly equivalent to his child support payments.

RB – OJ Simpson

            No comment here.

Defense – The Minnesota Viking’s

            Nothing beats partying. But nothing could ever beat partying on a boat with prostitutes that were flown in just for the special occasion. On October 6, 2005 on Lake Minnetonka 17 members of the Minnesota Vikings took part in an incident known as the “party boat”. The alleged partiers include Daunte Culpepper, ringleader Fred Smoot, Mewelde Moor, Bryant McKinnie, Pat Williams, Kevin Williams, Lance Johnstone, Jermaine Wiggins, Moe Williams, Willie Offord, and Ken Irvin. According to sources, two boats were rented and all but 2 of the players performed sex acts in front of an estimated 90 people.

            After the incident emerged in the media, the Vikings created a 77 page Code of Conduct that was read and distributed to all players. They also hired an ex FBI agent and NFL investigator as head of security, as well as the help of a private firm. Out of all the Party Boat fallout, Cullpepper, Smoot, McKinie, and Moe Williams were charge with indecent and disorderly conduct. They faced up to 90 days in prison, but all charges were dropped for Culpepper. Smooth and McKinnie pleaded guilty and were forced to pay a fine and perform 48 hours community service. They also had 30 day jail sentences.

Defense (Backup) – Ray Lewis:

On January 30th as the St. Louis Rams stopped the Tennessee Titans at the half yard line to win the Super Bowl XXXIV, Ray Lewis celebrated with his friends until the early hours in an Atlanta Nightclub. These celebrations eventually led to an argument between Lewis’ posse and other club patrons that escalated to a physical altercation. The altercation ended with two dead and Lewis’ limousine speeding away from the club with gunshots flying outside the club. 
 


Lewis’ limousine was found later behind the hotel Lewis was staying at. He was arrested on suspicion of first-degree murder and held without bail. His two accomplices, Reginald Oakley and Joseph Sweeting, had disappeared after the altercation. Oakley, Sweeting, and Lewis all had previous run ins with the law, Lewis had been accused of assault multiple times while attending the University of Miami. Lewis was eventually charged with two counts of malicious murder, two counts of felonious murder, and two counts of assault with a deadly weapon. 
 


In June of 2000, Lewis pled guilty to misdemeanor obstruction of justice and was sentenced to one-year probation, he had to pay one-third of the court cost, and was forbidden from using drugs or alcohol during his probation. The National Football League came down hard on the accused murder with a $250,000 fine, Lewis recently signed a deal worth $44.5 million dollars. The year following his arrest, Ray Lewis won a Super Bowl and a Defensive Player of the Year Award. 


K – Sebastian Janikowski

Sabastian Janikowski, the kicker . . . is a tougher guy than most people give him credit for. While most NFL players will taunt the work ethic and strength of the kicker, Janikowski can actually say he’s been in the slammer. His first brush with the law occurred in June of 2000, when he was charged for bribery of a police officer. Allegedly, Janikowski testified that he was simply attempting to pay a friend’s ticket on the spot, not bribe an officer. Just 8 days after these charges were dropped, Janikowski and 2 friends were arrested for felony possession of the drug GHB.  He then faced prison time and deportation if convicted of the crimes, but was again acquitted of all charges in April of 2001. After earning a reputation for partying at Florida State, it was well known that he was a party animal and faced troubles with his newfound fame and money. On October 2, 2002 Janikowski was charged with a DUI and sentenced to 3 years probation after pleading no contest to the charges.  One year later he would be arrested in a bar fight after a fight in a California restaurant. Surprisingly, there was insufficient evidence and the case was dropped.

Media – Tolly Carr:

On March 11th, 2007 Tolly Carr, the local news sports anchor, was enjoying a few drinks with some friends in downtown Winston-Salem, North Carolina. The bars closed and Tolly decided to drive home from the bar but he was too intoxicated to make it home. While driving he slammed his pick-up truck through a construction site and killed a 26 year old on his way back to his apartment. Carr refused a Breathalyzer test but a blood test later revealed that he had a blood alcohol content of .13, although toxicology reports estimated he consumed between 12-22 drinks that night. In August of 2007, Carr pleaded guilty to felony death by motor vehicle and was sentenced to three years in prison, and five more years on probation.
