When your boy, or group of boys wearing your favorite team colors are deemed ineligible, and are subsequently suspended from particular bodies of competition due to...duh, duh, duh...SCANDAL.\r\n\r\nIt\'s hot again. Reggie Bush gave back his Heisman trophy, and now some fella named Kenny Rogers has opened a can of night crawlers and dumped them on Auburn quarterback and Heisman Award hopeful, Cameron \"Cam\" Newton.\r\n\r\nI had to roll with the parenthetical based solely on the fact that the <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowl_Championship_Series\" target=\"_blank\">BCS</a> is to me, a scandalous organization, as is the NCAA. Case in point--the F.B.I. is involved in this latest Cam Newton saga? The F.B.I. Really? MmmMmm. Let\'s dive right in!\r\n<h2><strong>10. Cam Newton - Auburn University</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2747 alignnone\" title=\"CamNewton\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/CamNewton.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"295\" />\r\n\r\nIt has potential to be huge, but it\'s still too fresh. He could be clean; his pops could be dirty. Either way, it\'s looking like Cam Newton might find himself suspended down the line for his dad soliciting funds from Mississippi State University--a team Newton was considering coming out of Jr. College. You are more than likely aware that Newton was once a student athlete at Florida, playing behind Tim Tebow. Yes. In all of this, his <a href=\"http://content.usatoday.com/communities/campusrivalry/post/2010/11/report-cam-newton-left-florida-after-three-charges-of-academic-cheating/1?csp=hf\" target=\"_blank\">less than squeaky clean record</a> has also shown its teeth. Whether any money was exchanged at Auburn...? We won\'t find out for quite some time.\r\n<h2><strong><span style=\"line-height: 19px; font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"line-height: 28px; font-size: 26px;\">9. Rich Rodriguez - University of Michigan</span></span></strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2748 alignnone\" title=\"RichRod\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/RichRod.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" />\r\n\r\nIt\'s easier to miss the scandalous when a team sucks, or is in a period of \"rebuilding.\" Rich-Rod bailed on West Virginia, and came to Michigan to get the show turned around in the Big House. Apparently, as part of the rebuilding process, he required overtime...of everyone. Working them beyond what is legal according to the NCAA. The university slapped itself on the wrist.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"line-height: 28px; font-size: 26px;\">8. 2004 Auburn Tigers - Shafted!</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2750 alignnone\" title=\"ronnie-brown\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ronnie-brown.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"308\" />\r\n\r\nYou probably don\'t remember this one, do ya? The Auburn Tigers went undefeated in SEC play and in their regular season, won the SEC Championship Game vs. Tennessee, and was shafted into a Sugar Bowl match-up vs. a potent Virginia Tech squad. Yep. Oklahoma and USC battled it out for the \"National Championship.\" Heck yes, I\'m a biased SEC fan, but this was criminal. Especially considering that USC thrashed OU in the title game, and that win has been vacated due to USC\'s own scandal. Stupid Coaches Poll. Stupid AP Poll. Stupid NCAA. Scandalous.\r\n<h2><strong>7. Scooter McDougle - University of Toledo</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2751 alignnone\" title=\"ScooterMcD\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ScooterMcD.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"309\" />\r\n\r\nThis one can just be filed into the category of strange. Toledo running back, Scooter McDougle was somehow at the center of a point-shaving scheme that involved several other University of Toledo players. Players would not play in games due to mysterious injuries, or would play poorly to ensure spreads. The final note has yet to be played in this fiasco.\r\n<h2><strong>6. Bogus Music Class - Florida State University</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2752 alignnone\" title=\"BobbyB\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/BobbyB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"271\" />\r\n\r\nWhen people said Bobby Bowden was \"out of touch,\" perhaps this is what they were eluding to. This happened in 2007, and included 25 student-athletes who admitted to having \"assistance\" on tests and quizzes for a music class. When I say assistance, I mean somebody took the tests for them. I can\'t imagine why anyone got suspicious with so many players taking the same class and scoring similarly? This cost the squad the last really good season that Bobby, and the university, have enjoyed.\r\n<h2><strong>5. Lawrence Phillips - University of Nebraska</strong></h2>\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/ESgPZtcxfkk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/ESgPZtcxfkk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\nThis dude. Geez. A guy who had it. That thing. Jaw-dropping skills. Unfortunately, he also had some jaw popping skills. After running for 206 yards on 22 carries for 4 touchdowns vs. Michigan State, Phillips returned to Lincoln, NE, with the team and <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Phillips\" target=\"_blank\">was arrested</a> for assaulting his girlfriend. After being suspended, Phillips played out the season, winning a national championship, then declared for the NFL draft. He had a few NFL highlights, but more problems. In 2009 he was sentenced to 31 years in prison for multiple violent outbreaks, including an incident in which he hit three teenagers with his car after a disagreement in a pick-up football game.\r\n<h2><strong>4. Marcus Dupree - University of Oklahoma</strong></h2>\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/qg2bHHY3d84?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/qg2bHHY3d84?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\nFeatured recently on ESPN\'s 30 for 30, Marcus Dupree was considered by many, \"The best who never was.\" Before signing with Oklahoma, it was necessary to score some goods for the family. Dupree\'s mom wanted a new double-wide mobile home. She got one. In an attempt to secure Dupree for a documentary in the early 80s, a recruiter let the funding team know it would take at least $150,000. Dupree went on to be a Freshman star at Oklahoma. Injuries hampered his sophomore season, and after a handful of games, Dupree announced that he would be leaving the university.\r\n<h2><strong>3. Reggie Bush - University of Southern California</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2753 alignnone\" title=\"Reggie\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Reggie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"288\" />\r\n\r\nEveryone is familiar with Reggie, and the USC scandal. The scandal that has the Trojans watching the big games from the sidelines every holiday season for the next several years. It all had to do with Reggie, and/or Reggie\'s parents, accepting improper benefits. We have to presume that somewhere in the mix there would be some cash involved. Though the university has been punished, and they no longer \"have anything to do with Bush,\" it all peaked this fall when Bush returned his Heisman Trophy.\r\n<h2><strong>2. Katie Hnida - University of Colorado</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2754 alignnone\" title=\"KatieH\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/KatieH.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" />\r\n\r\nKatie Hnida? College football scandal? Oh, how soon we forget, and how soon the University of Colorado wants us to forget. Female. Football player. Kicker. Multiple teammates took advantage of Katie, and ultimately tore their entire program apart. Hnida stated that she was harassed, assaulted and eventually raped by her male counterparts.\r\n<h2><strong>1. 1986 SMU Mustangs - The NCAA Death Penalty</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2755 alignnone\" title=\"dickersonandjames\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/dickersonandjames.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" />\r\n\r\nSweet mercy. This one still takes the cake. Everyone was seemingly involved in this mess. The Governor of Texas, local and state politicians, coaches and of course, players. At the center of the controversy was the continuation of a \"slush fund\" for players who required some cash, from the mid-70s to the mid-80s. After the university and so many university supporters were found to be dealing in corruption, an NCAA committee voted to cancel the entire 1987 SMU football season. The NCAA only allowed SMU to participate in away games in the 1988 season. This nearly destroyed the SMU program. It also led to the death of the Southwest Conference.','Top 10 College Football Scandals ','','publish','open','open','','top-10-college-football-scandals','','','2011-02-07 17:29:55','2011-02-08 01:29:55','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2733',0,'post','',0),(2734,7,'2010-11-12 15:01:46','2010-11-12 23:01:46','Oh, what a tough pill to swallow.

there’s ridiculously-good-looking and then there’s <a href=\"http://manjr.com/2010/girls/top-25-bikini-babes-of-all-time/ \" target=\"_blank\">Marisa Miller</a>. One of the top supermodels in the world, Marisa has a level of sexy that can be appreciated by all. She’s the dream girl of the everyman. The English language doesn’t have enough superlatives to describe her hotness. In a world full of 1-through-10s, her hotness goes up to 11.\r\n\r\nDiamond encrusted bras line up to be worn by her. Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues fly off the shelves when she’s in the mix. Miller’s more than a pretty face, though. She’s developed into a formidable marketing force. She’s a full-fledged brand, and she knows how to wield her brand power to great effect.\r\n\r\nMiller is the official spokesperson of <a href=\"http://www.harley-davidson.com/en_US/Content/Pages/home.html\" target=\"_blank\">Harley-Davidson</a>, the first spokesperson the company has ever had. She’s Captain Morgan’s <a href=\"http://manjr.com/2010/girls/marisa-miller-is-captain-morgans-official-first-mate/\" target=\"_blank\">Official First Mate</a>. She’s also an ambassador for the American Cancer Society and the NFL.\r\n\r\nI had the privilege of speaking to this iconic beauty, and she was super cool. We talked about her role in <a href=\"http://freecountry.harley-davidson.com/thankyou/landing.php?hbx_camp_id=hdredirect&amp;urlvar=thankyou&amp;camp_id=16&amp;source_cd=Vanity_thankyou\" target=\"_blank\">Harley-Davidson’s Second Annual Military Appreciation Month</a>, her love of domestic chores, the need for supermodels to carve out a brand presence and her appreciation for her hometown, Santa Cruz, California. Here’s the video:\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=16734885&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\" src=\"http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=16734885&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=1&amp;show_byline=1&amp;show_portrait=1&amp;color=00ADEF&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','Marisa Miller Interview (Video)','','inherit','open','open','','2722-revision-8','','','2010-11-12 11:41:43','2010-11-12 19:41:43','',2722,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2722-revision-8/',0,'revision','',0),(2746,2,'2010-10-22 10:54:32','2010-10-22 17:54:32','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2476\" title=\"Brooklyn_Decker_lead\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Brooklyn_Decker_lead.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"283\" />\r\n\r\nMANjr created this list of the top 25 bikini babes of all time based on a scientific scale that considered the following factors: bangin\' body, bikini skills, cuteness of face and overall hotness. If you disagree with these picks, let us know where our scientific method went wrong. We probably won\'t make any adjustments, but we\'ll try to recognize any glaring omissions.\r\n<h2>25. Jessica Alba</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2427\" title=\"jessica-alba-bikini\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/jessica-alba-bikini.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"367\" />\r\n\r\nShe’s always going to make the list, even if she <a href=\"http://manjr.com/2010/girls/jessica-alba-wants-to-tone-down-her-sexiness-world-says-too-bad/\" target=\"_blank\">doesn’t want to be considered sexy anymore</a>. Sorry Jessica, you have no say in this.\r\n<h2>24. Stacy Keibler</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2428\" title=\"stacy-keibler-bikini-\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/stacy-keibler-bikini-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"755\" />\r\n\r\nStacy’s got the body to pull off any bikini in any situation. Kieblers was a WWE Diva, Baltimore Ravens cheerleader and a serious dancer (she started training when she was three), so she knows how to put those extra-long legs to good use.\r\n<h2>23. Kelly Brook</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2429\" title=\"kelly-brook-bikini\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/kelly-brook-bikini.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"417\" />\r\n\r\nKelly Brook is no stranger to bikini work. The buxom Brit began modeling at the age of 16, and she’s appeared in TV, films and top sexy lists ever since. Brook, who won a <a href=\"http://manjr.com/2010/girls/babe-of-the-summer-kelly-brook-in-piranha-3d/\">babe of the summer</a> award this year, even has her own line of swimwear and lingerie going, so you know she belongs on this list.\r\n<h2>22. Tyra Banks</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2430\" title=\"tyra\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/tyra.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"337\" />\r\n\r\nIt’s hard to remember a time when Tyra Banks wasn’t super annoying. But think back, way back. Think back to guest appearances on the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and all those SI Swimsuit shoots. Remember? Yep, Tyra was hot. She wasn’t constantly calling herself fat and she didn’t have her own talk show. I miss that fly 90s chick who knew how to work a bikini and keep her mouth shut.\r\n<h2><strong>21. Shakara Ledard</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2431\" title=\"shakara-ledard-bikini\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/08_shakara-ledard_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"367\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nA relative newcomer to the swimsuit scene, Shakara Ledard has made a big enough splash to hang with the all time greats. This beauty from the Bahamas has appeared in multiple films and music videos for usher, Babyface and Justin Timberlake.\r\n<h2><strong>20. Niki Taylor</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2432\" title=\"97_ntaylor_02\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/97_ntaylor_02.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"302\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nDude, remember how hot Niki Taylor was? This foxy chick from Florida started modeling when she was 13. She was a cover girl for a solid decade or so during which she married an Arena Football League linebacker and had twins. Taylor’s only 35 years old, and you know this blonde-haired, hazel-eyed head-turner’s still got it.\r\n<h2><strong>19. Stephanie Seymour</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2433\" title=\"stephanieseymour\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/stephanieseymour.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"403\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>Stephanie Seymour was on top of her game in the 90s. The San Diego-native appeared in numerous Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issues. She helped establish Victoria\'s Secret mail catalogs as prized postal possessions, and she posed in Playboy in 1991 and 1993. Sadly, this still wasn’t enough to help Seymour survive her wedding to Axel Rose in the <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SbUC-UaAxE \" target=\"_blank\">November Rain video</a>. Everybody needs somebody, and we all need more Stephanie Seymour.\r\n<h2><strong>18. Elle Macpherson</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2434\" title=\"jolie-elle-macpherson\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/jolie-elle-macpherson.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"823\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nLong legged Aussie beauty Elle MacPherson has been out of the spotlight for awhile, but her gorgeous bikini body still lives on, even at age 47. Total package bikini beauty like that doesn’t fade fast. If you ever find yourself wondering if there’s a Hugh Grant movie out there from the 90s that features a hilarious slow-motion nude running scene with Elle Macpherson, the answer is yes. It’s called Sirens.\r\n<h2><strong>17. Selita Ebanks</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2435\" title=\"selita-ebanks-8\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/selita-ebanks-8.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"681\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nCayman Islands native Selita Ebanks was discovered at a Six Flags when she was 17. What kinda crazy job would that be? Hey, before you ride the Ninja, I just wanted to say your gorgeous and I work for a modeling agency. I think I want that job. Ebanks was once engaged to Nick Cannon. As Maria Carey gets more chubby and/or pregnant with each passing day, Cannon can always reminisce about his old Victoria\'s Secret fiancé and wonder what might have been.\r\n<h2><strong>16. Rachel Hunter</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2436\" title=\"06_rhunter_06\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/06_rhunter_06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"634\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>Rachel Hunter had it going on long before Fountains of Wayne reminded the world just how bangin’ she is in that <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3FxVfxmDlqU\" target=\"_blank\">Stacy’s Mom video</a>. And when you look that good for that long, people get over the fact that you married Rod Stewart. I ain’t mad atcha Rachel. Not now and not ever.\r\n<h2><strong>15. Jessica Burciaga</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2461\" title=\"jess_yellow_10\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/jess_yellow_10.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"750\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nSI Swimsuit gal she is not, but that doesn’t mean that Jessica doesn’t belong on this list. Her frequent Twitter profile pic updates and tales of 1000s of bikinis in her closet seal the deal. Miss February 2009 has a unique gorgeousness to her. Jessica’s father is Mexican her mother is French, Irish and German. When you have the chance, please thank Jessica’s parents for creating one amazingly stunning bikini babe.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h2><strong>14. Ana Beatriz Barros</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2437\" title=\"Ana-Beatriz-Barros-20090330045952\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Ana-Beatriz-Barros-20090330045952.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"725\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nI don’t know what it is about Brazil, but they sure can make some sexy bikini babes down there. Born in 1982, Ana Beatriz Barros is of Portuguese, Spanish and Italian descent. She’s appeared in SI’s Swimsuit Issue seven times from 2002 to 2008.\r\n<h2><strong>13. Rebecca Romijn</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2438\" title=\"06_extra06_rromijn_01\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/06_extra06_rromijn_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"317\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nAnd then there’s the global treasure that is Rebecca Romijin. Her exceptional rear-end deserves some type of UNESCO recognition for being a World Heritage asset. Don’t get me wrong, Rebecca’s clicking on all cylinders (really, there’s no part of her that isn’t amazing), but that butt is just fantastic.\r\n<h2><strong>12. Yamila Diaz-Rahi</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2440\" title=\"Yamila Diaz_13268\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Yamila-Diaz_13268.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nLet’s see, born in Argentina of Spanish and Lebanese descent… That’s just a recipe for swimsuit super stardom. Yamila appeared in the SI Swimsuit Issue in 1999. She was on the cover in 2002 and 2006. She was the first Latin spokesmodel in CoverGirl history, and she’s just really, really hot.\r\n<h2><strong>11. Bar Refaeli</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2441\" title=\"08_bar-refaeli_13\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/08_bar-refaeli_13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nIf you’re going to hang out with heartthrob Leonardo Di Caprio all day, you better be able to counter the dude’s handsomeness with some head turning action of your own. Bar Refaeli is up for this challenge. The 2009 SI Swimsuit Issue cover girl is the hottest discovery to come out of Israel since Abraham found monotheism. Bar Refaeli started modeling when she was eight months old. That’s what happens when your mom’s a model too.\r\n<h2><strong>10. Daniela Pestova</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2442\" title=\"08_daniela-pestova_01\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/08_daniela-pestova_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"680\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nYou may not know her name, but you know her face and you know that body. Da-damn. This Czech model was born in 1970, and she appeared on the cover of the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue in 1995, 2000, and 2006. That’s staying power. Daniela can speak fluent Czech, Russian, French and Italian, so she can tell dudes all over Europe to stop staring at her in four different ways.\r\n<h2><strong>9. Miranda Kerr</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2444\" title=\"miranda_kerr_bikini\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/miranda_kerr_bikini.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"682\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nMiranda Kerr is 5 feet 9 inches of adorable Aussie goodness. She’s a little button with a bright smile and a bikini body that stands out in a crowd of Victoria’s Secret Angels. Kerr is married to Orlando Bloom. I bet that scruffy elf-pirate isn’t more than two inches taller than his super-sexy better half.\r\n<h2><strong>8. Heidi Klum</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2445\" title=\"heidi klum\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/heidi-klum.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nBefore Project Runway, Heidi Klum made bank as a supermodel. This SI Swimsuit staple and Victoria Secret powerhouse crushed it for years before she started making babies with Seal. She’s still one hot German MILF and she still making bank as a model, actor, producer, designer and perfume maker.\r\n<h2><strong>7. Gisele Bundchen</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2446\" title=\"0522_gisele-bundchen-bikini-calzedonia-06\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/0522_gisele-bundchen-bikini-calzedonia-06.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"346\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nWhen Gisele Bundchen says that their should be a worldwide law requiring new mothers to breastfeed for six months, who am I to disagree. Someone let me know when this Brazilian bombshell takes Tom Brady’s baby out for a feeding session after a long bikini shoot.\r\n<h2><strong>6. Cindy Crawford</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2447\" title=\"ult_ccrawford_01\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/ult_ccrawford_01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"624\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nI don’t know how old Cindy is now and I don’t care. She’s Fair Game for looking mighty fine in a bikini or anything else for that matter. I’ll drink Pepsi, buy skin cream, whatever it takes. Someone make sure Cindy sees more camera time so a new generation can appreciate her timeless gorgeousness.\r\n<h2><strong>5. Adriana Lima</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2448\" title=\"adrianna lima\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/adrianna-lima.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"675\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nThis chick has been smoking hot since she was 15. That might sound creepy, but like Lima, I was born in 1981, so I can get away with that observation. Lima’s been a Victoria’s Secret knockout since 2000. She has years and years of swimsuit and lingerie experience under her bikini bottom, and she’s hands down one of the sexiest women in the world. Lima’s married to Serbian basketball player Marko Jaric, and she’s one of the XX Brazilian models to make it on this list.\r\n<h2><strong>4. Brooklyn Decker</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2449\" title=\"brooklyn_decker_bikini\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/brooklyn_decker_si_next_2_big.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"769\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nBrookyln Decker is a healthy slice of knucklefist-biting Ohio scorchery. Decker was discovered in a shopping mall and she’s burned up the pages of SI’s Swimsuit Issue every year since 2006. Decker is married to the Stifler of the tennis world, Andy Roddick. She’s starting to act more and she bested 64 other beauties to win Esquire magazine’s 2010 Sexiest Woman Alive bracket challenge.\r\n<h2><strong>3. Elsa Benitez</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2450\" title=\"elsa-benitez-7\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/elsa-benitez-7.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"584\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nDamn right Elsa Benitez is in the top three. She looks so fantastic in a bikini, laws should be passed to make her sport swimwear at all times. Ever since winning an international model search contest in Costa Rica back in 1995, Elsa Benitez has been on the cover of Vogue, Glamour and the 2001 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. She’s been in the Swimsuit Issue a total of five times.\r\n<h2><strong>2. Alessandra Ambrosio</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2452\" title=\"alessandra_ambrosio-bikini\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/alessandra_ambrosio-bikini.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"400\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nIt’s hard to believe that this Brazilian beauty was ever self-conscious about her looks, but she actually had cosmetic surgery to pin back her ears at age 11. Ambrosio started taking modeling classes at age 12, and she was working steadily by the age of 15. She’s now one of the most sought after models in the world and her best friend is Ana Beatriz Barros.\r\n<h2><strong>1. Marisa Miller</strong></h2>\r\n<strong><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2451\" title=\"marisa_miller2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/marisa_miller2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"755\" />\r\n</strong>\r\n\r\nNo one person has done more to advance the bikini arts than Marisa Miller. It’s hard to imagine a bikini without conjuring up at least one image of this gorgeous girl from Santa Cruz, California. In fact, Marisa deserves her own bonus bikini gallery:\r\n\r\n[nggallery id=11 template=carousel images=14]','Top 25 Bikini Babes of All Time','','inherit','open','open','','2425-revision-14','','','2010-10-22 10:54:32','2010-10-22 17:54:32','',2425,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2425-revision-14/',0,'revision','',0),(2747,7,'2010-11-12 17:10:56','2010-11-13 01:10:56','','CamNewton','','inherit','open','open','','camnewton','','','2010-11-12 17:10:56','2010-11-13 01:10:56','',2733,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/CamNewton.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2748,7,'2010-11-12 17:11:50','2010-11-13 01:11:50','','RichRod','','inherit','open','open','','richrod','','','2010-11-12 17:11:50','2010-11-13 01:11:50','',2733,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/RichRod.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0);

When your boy, or group of boys wearing your favorite team colors are deemed ineligible, and are subsequently suspended from particular bodies of competition due to...duh, duh, duh...SCANDAL.\n\nIt\'s hot again. Reggie Bush gave back his Heisman trophy, and now some fella named Kenny Rogers has opened a can of night crawlers and dumped them on Auburn quarterback and Heisman Award hopeful, Cameron \"Cam\" Newton.\n\nI had to roll with the parenthetical based solely on the fact that the BCS is to me, a scandalous organization, as is the NCAA. Case in point--the F.B.I. is involved in this latest Cam Newton saga? The F.B.I. Really? MmmMmm. Let\'s dive right in!\n<h2>10. Cam Newton - Auburn University</h2>\nIt has potential to be huge, but it\'s still too fresh. He could be clean; his pops could be dirty. Either way, it\'s looking like Cam Newton might find himself suspended down the line for his pops soliciting funds from Mississippi State University--a team Newton was considering coming out of Jr. College. You are more than likely aware that Newton was once a student athlete at Florida, playing behind Tim Tebow. Yes. In all of this, his less than squeaky clean record has also shown its teeth.\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2747\" title=\"CamNewton\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/CamNewton.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"295\" /> <span style=\"line-height: 28px; font-size: 26px;\">9. Rich Rodriguez - University of Michigan</span>\n\nIt\'s easier to miss the scandalous when a team sucks, or is in a period of rebuilding. Rich-Rod, bailed on West Virginia, and came to Michigan to get the show turned around in the Big House. Apparently, he was willing to require overtime...of everyone. Working them beyond what is legal according to the NCAA. The university slapped itself on the wrist.\n<h2>8. 2004 Auburn Tigers - Shafted!</h2>\nYou probably don\'t remember this one, do ya? The Auburn Tigers went undefeated in SEC play, won the SEC Championship Game vs. Tennessee, and was shafted into a Sugar Bowl match-up vs. a potent Virginia Tech squad. Yep. Oklahoma and USC battled it out for the \"National Championship.\" Heck yes, I\'m a biased SEC fan, but this was criminal. Especially considering that USC thrashed OU in the title game, and that the win has been vacated. Stupid Coaches Poll. Stupid AP Poll. Stupid NCAA. Scandalous.\n<h2>7. Scooter McDougle - University of Toledo</h2>\nThis one can just be filed into the category of strange. Toledo running back, Scooter McDougle was somehow at the center of a point-shaving scheme that involved several other University of Toledo players--who would not play in games due to mysterious injuries, or would play poorly to ensure spreads. The final note has yet to be played in this fiasco.\n<h2>6. Bogus Music Class - Florida State University</h2>\nWhen people said Bobby Bowden was \"out of touch,\" perhaps this is what they were eluding to. This happened in 2007, and included 25 student-athletes who admitted to having \"assistance\" on tests and quizzes for a music class. When I say assistance, I mean somebody took the tests for them. I can\'t imagine that anyone got suspicious with so many players taking the same class and scoring similarly? This cost the squad the last really good season that Bobby, and the university, have enjoyed.\n<h2>5. Lawrence Phillips - University of Nebraska</h2>\nThis dude. Geez. A guy who had it. That thing. Jaw-dropping skills. Unfortunately, he had some jaw-popping skills as well. After running for 206 yards on 22 carries for 4 touchdowns vs. Michigan State, Phillips returned back to Lincoln, NE, with the team and <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Phillips\" target=\"_blank\">was arrested</a> for assaulting his girlfriend. Nebraska went on to win the National Championship. Phillips, after being suspended, played out the season, winning a national championship, then declared for the NFL draft. He had a few NFL highlights, but more problems. In 2009 he was sentenced to 31 years in prison for multiple violent outbreaks that also included hitting three teenagers with his car.\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"400\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/ESgPZtcxfkk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/ESgPZtcxfkk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n<h2>4. Marcus Dupree - University of Oklahoma</h2>\nFeatured recently on ESPN\'s 30 for 30, Marcus Dupree was considered by many, the best who never was. Before signing with Oklahoma, it was necessary to score some goods for the family. Dupree\'s mom wanted a new double-wide mobile home. She got one. In an attempt to secure Dupree for a documentary in the early 80s, a then recruiter stated it would take at least $150,000. Dupree went on to be a Freshman star at Oklahoma. Injuries hampered his sophomore season, and after a handful of games, Dupree announced that he would be leaving the university.\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"400\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/qg2bHHY3d84?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/qg2bHHY3d84?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\n<h2>3. Reggie Bush - University of Southern California</h2>\nEveryone is familiar with Reggie, and the USC scandal. The scandal that has the Trojans watching the big games from the sidelines every holiday season for the next several years. It all had to do with Reggie, and/or Reggie\'s parents, accepting illegal benefits. We have to presume that somewhere in the mix would be cash. Though the university has been punished, and they no longer \"have anything to do with Bush,\" the scandal peaked when Bush returned his Heisman Trophy.\n<h2>2. Katie Hnida - University of Colorado</h2>\nKatie Hnida? College football scandal? Oh, how soon we forget, and how soon the University of Colorado wants us to forget. Female. Football player. Kicker. Multiple teammates took advantage of Katie, and ultimately tore their entire program apart. Hnida stated that she was harassed, assaulted and eventually raped by her male counterparts.\n<h2>1. 1986 SMU Mustangs - The NCAA Death Penalty</h2>\nSweet mercy. This one is still the one that takes the cake. Everyone was seemingly involved in this mess. The Governor of Texas, local and state politicians, coaches and of course, players. At the center of the controversy was the continuation of a \"slush fund\" for players that required some cash, from the mid-70s to the mid-80s. After the university and so many university supporters were found to be dealing in corruption, an NCAA committee voted to cancel the entire 1987 football season, and only allowed SMU to participate in away games in the 1988 season. This nearly destroyed the SMU program, and it did lead to the death of the Southwest Conference.','Top 10 College Football Scandals ','','inherit','open','open','','2733-revision-3','','','2010-11-12 17:11:38','2010-11-13 01:11:38','',2733,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2733-revision-3/',0,'revision','',0),(2750,7,'2010-11-12 17:14:32','2010-11-13 01:14:32','','ronnie-brown','','inherit','open','open','','ronnie-brown','','','2010-11-12 17:14:32','2010-11-13 01:14:32','',2733,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ronnie-brown.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2751,7,'2010-11-12 17:15:05','2010-11-13 01:15:05','','ScooterMcD','','inherit','open','open','','scootermcd','','','2010-11-12 17:15:05','2010-11-13 01:15:05','',2733,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ScooterMcD.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2752,7,'2010-11-12 17:15:26','2010-11-13 01:15:26','','BobbyB','','inherit','open','open','','bobbyb','','','2010-11-12 17:15:26','2010-11-13 01:15:26','',2733,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/BobbyB.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2753,7,'2010-11-12 17:18:45','2010-11-13 01:18:45','','Reggie','','inherit','open','open','','reggie','','','2010-11-12 17:18:45','2010-11-13 01:18:45','',2733,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Reggie.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2754,7,'2010-11-12 17:19:43','2010-11-13 01:19:43','','KatieH','','inherit','open','open','','katieh','','','2010-11-12 17:19:43','2010-11-13 01:19:43','',2733,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/KatieH.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2755,7,'2010-11-12 17:20:07','2010-11-13 01:20:07','','dickersonandjames','','inherit','open','open','','dickersonandjames','','','2010-11-12 17:20:07','2010-11-13 01:20:07','',2733,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/dickersonandjames.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2756,7,'2010-11-12 17:12:38','2010-11-13 01:12:38','(And/Or Travesties)\n\nOh, what a tough pill to swallow.

Oklahoma and USC battled it out for the \"National Championship.\" Heck yes, I\'m a biased SEC fan, but this was criminal. Especially considering that USC thrashed OU in the title game, and that the win has been vacated. Stupid Coaches Poll. Stupid AP Poll. Stupid NCAA. Scandalous.\r\n<h2>7.

Nebraska went on to win the National Championship. Phillips, after being suspended, played out the season, winning a national championship, then declared for the NFL draft. He had a few NFL highlights, but more problems. In 2009 he was sentenced to 31 years in prison for multiple violent outbreaks that also included hitting three teenagers with his car.\r\n<h2>4.

In an attempt to secure Dupree for a documentary in the early 80s, a then recruiter stated it would take at least $150,000. Dupree went on to be a Freshman star at Oklahoma.

The scandal that has the Trojans watching the big games from the sidelines every holiday season for the next several years. It all had to do with Reggie, and/or Reggie\'s parents, accepting illegal benefits. We have to presume that somewhere in the mix would be cash. Though the university has been punished, and they no longer \"have anything to do with Bush,\" the scandal peaked when Bush returned his Heisman Trophy.\r\n<h2>2.

After the university and so many university supporters were found to be dealing in corruption, an NCAA committee voted to cancel the entire 1987 football season, and only allowed SMU to participate in away games in the 1988 season.

When your boy, or group of boys wearing your favorite team colors are deemed ineligible, and are subsequently suspended from particular bodies of competition due to...duh, duh, duh...SCANDAL.\r\n\r\nIt\'s hot again. Reggie Bush gave back his Heisman trophy, and now some fella named Kenny Rogers has opened a can of night crawlers and dumped them on Auburn quarterback and Heisman Award hopeful, Cameron \"Cam\" Newton.\r\n\r\nI had to roll with the parenthetical based solely on the fact that the <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowl_Championship_Series\" target=\"_blank\">BCS</a> is to me, a scandalous organization, as is the NCAA. Case in point--the F.B.I. is involved in this latest Cam Newton saga? The F.B.I. Really? MmmMmm. Let\'s dive right in!\r\n<h2>10. Cam Newton - Auburn University</h2>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2747\" title=\"CamNewton\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/CamNewton.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"295\" />\r\nIt has potential to be huge, but it\'s still too fresh. He could be clean; his pops could be dirty. Either way, it\'s looking like Cam Newton might find himself suspended down the line for his dad soliciting funds from Mississippi State University--a team Newton was considering coming out of Jr. College. You are more than likely aware that Newton was once a student athlete at Florida, playing behind Tim Tebow. Yes. In all of this, his <a href=\"http://content.usatoday.com/communities/campusrivalry/post/2010/11/report-cam-newton-left-florida-after-three-charges-of-academic-cheating/1?csp=hf\" target=\"_blank\">less than squeaky clean record</a> has also shown its teeth. Whether any money was exchanged at Auburn...? We won\'t find out for quite some time.\r\n<h2><span style=\"line-height: 19px; font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"line-height: 28px; font-size: 26px;\">9. Rich Rodriguez - University of Michigan</span></span></h2>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2748\" title=\"RichRod\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/RichRod.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" />It\'s easier to miss the scandalous when a team sucks, or is in a period of rebuilding. Rich-Rod bailed on West Virginia, and came to Michigan to get the show turned around in the Big House. Apparently, he was willing to require overtime...of everyone. Working them beyond what is legal according to the NCAA. The university slapped itself on the wrist.\r\n\r\n<span style=\"line-height: 28px; font-size: 26px;\">8. 2004 Auburn Tigers - Shafted!</span>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2750\" title=\"ronnie-brown\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ronnie-brown.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"308\" />You probably don\'t remember this one, do ya? The Auburn Tigers went undefeated in SEC play and in their regular season, won the SEC Championship Game vs. Tennessee, and was shafted into a Sugar Bowl match-up vs. a potent Virginia Tech squad. Yep. Oklahoma and USC battled it out for the \"National Championship.\" Heck yes, I\'m a biased SEC fan, but this was criminal. Especially considering that USC thrashed OU in the title game, and that the win has been vacated due to USC\'s own scandal. Stupid Coaches Poll. Stupid AP Poll. Stupid NCAA. Scandalous.\r\n<h2>7. Scooter McDougle - University of Toledo</h2>\r\n<img class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2751\" title=\"ScooterMcD\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ScooterMcD.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"309\" />This one can just be filed into the category of strange. Toledo running back, Scooter McDougle was somehow at the center of a point-shaving scheme that involved several other University of Toledo players--players would not play in games due to mysterious injuries, or would play poorly to ensure spreads. The final note has yet to be played in this fiasco.\r\n<h2>6.

This happened in 2007, and included 25 student-athletes who admitted to having \"assistance\" on tests and quizzes for a music class. When I say assistance, I mean somebody took the tests for them. I can\'t imagine that anyone got suspicious with so many players taking the same class and scoring similarly?

It surrounds the Christmas and New Year holidays, and it even spurs annual debate through crowning a Champion without a playoff system. Oh yeah. It\'s time to go bowling!\r\n\r\nIf you feel there are too many bowl games, get over yourself! Why? Is it <em>too much</em> football for you? Are you paying taxes for these games? C\'mon!

UTEP QB Trevor Vittatoe is a difference maker, yet his ankle is busted up, and he\'s less than four days from having to put it to the test. If he\'s somehow able to play through the pain, the Miners could make it interesting.</p>\r\n\r\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\">12/18 - Humanitarian Bowl: Northern Illinois vs. Fresno State</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3135 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Fresno.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"387\" /></p>\r\nNorthern Illinois put up an impressive 10-3 season, losing a heart breaker in the MAC Championship. Now they\'re meeting a Fresno team led by veteran coach Pat Hill who has been given multiple weeks of preparation. This promises to be a battle, and picking either team would be a logical decision. The vast majority of the nation is going with the bulldogs, but I\'m taking the Huskies.\r\n<h3>12/18 - New Orleans Bowl: Ohio University vs. Troy</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3136 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Boo-Jackson-OhioU-e1292378277401.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"342\" /></p>\r\nOhio QB, Franshaw \"Boo\" Jackson. He can be exciting when he\'s hitting on all cylinders, yet I was unimpressed with the MAC this season. I\'m going against the populous once again on this one, and sticking with the team from the south. I see another battle, and Troy coming out on top.\r\n<h3>12/21 - St. Petersburg Bowl: Southern Miss. vs. Louisville</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3137 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SouthernMiss.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"368\" /></p>\r\nDidn\'t ya hear? Brett Favre found a game of NCAA eligibility and is coming out of collegiate retirement. I just couldn\'t pass up the opportunity to use the image. Look at the young gun slinger... Call me insane, but I\'m going against the majority again with this pick. I feel like Louisville has the slight edge. It has the potential to be another close one.\r\n<h3>12/22 - Las Vegas Bowl: Utah vs. Boise State</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3138 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/KellenMooreBoise.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"312\" /></p>\r\nAside from a couple missteps vs. TCU and Notre Dame, Utah put together an impressive season. They won close games down the stretch and earned this match-up vs. powerhouse, Boise State. The Broncos BCS dreams were crushed in the NCAA game of the year vs. Nevada, yet a week later they went back to work and took care of business. I have a feeling that Kellen Moore is going to go off in Vegas like a 21 year old with their multi-millionaire father\'s credit card. ...that Kellen Moore is going to go off in Vegas like a fat dude at the <a href=\"http://www.circuscircus.com/dining/circus_buffet.aspx\" target=\"_blank\">Circus Circus buffet</a>. He may opt for both options--I know I would. BSU is the team that I would never bet against. You shouldn\'t either.\r\n<h3>12/23 - Poinsettia Bowl: Navy vs. San Diego State</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3139 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Ricky-Dobbs-NAVY.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"310\" /></p>\r\nNavy is impressive... but San Diego State is possibly the best 8-4 team in the country. They have played <em>everyone</em> close. Everyone. Their 4 losses were by a combined 15 points. I think the Navy option attack might give them headaches, and I\'m rolling with the Midshipmen...as of now. I reserve the right to change my mind due to the factual evidence listed above. It\'s worth noting, this is the final game for Navy QB Ricky Dobbs--the kid is a stud. He has always played well in big games, and probably loves the thought of being the underdog.\r\n<h3>12/24 - Hawai\'i Bowl: Hawaii vs. Tulsa</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3143 aligncenter\" title=\"Hawaii\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Hawaii-e1292390690856.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"331\" /></p>\r\nHawaii at home? Check. Hawaii with a devastating passing attack? Check. Tulsa with a suspect secondary? Check. Tulsa with the ability to score a lot of points? Check. Could be a shoot out, but this one is going to the Warriors of Hawaii.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n<h3>12/26 - Little Caesars Bowl: FIU vs. Toledo</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3145 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/TimBeckmanToledo-e1292390916838.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></p>\r\nThese two teams. Geez. How many times did you see either of these teams play this year? Exactly. FIU is scary because they\'re a new program, and they just don\'t know better than to score 50 points in some games. Still, I\'m hitching my wagon to the Rockets of Toledo and the best coach you\'ve never heard of, <a href=\"http://www.utrockets.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=18000&amp;ATCLID=3691260\" target=\"_blank\">Tim Beckman</a>. Don\'t be surprised when Toledo is cracking the Top 25 in another few years...if they can keep Beckman around.\r\n<h3>12/27 - Independence Bowl: Air Force vs. Georgia Tech</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3146 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/JoshNesbittGeorgiaTech.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"312\" /></p>\r\nThis battle has options. How\'s that for a play on words? GT QB Joshua Nesbitt is a guy with the potential to take over the field. It would be awesome to see him have the game of his life in the Independence Bowl. Even so, I don\'t know that the Yellow Jackets have the moxie to dogfight with the Air Force. I\'m going with the Falcons.\r\n<h3>12/28 - Champs Sports Bowl: West Virginia vs. NC State</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3147 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/noel-devine-WV.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" /></p>\r\nThe Champs Sports Bowl will mark the end to the collegiate career of WV star running back, Noel Devine, and if he can rush for 114 yards in the contest, he\'ll go over 1,000 yards for his third consecutive season. QB Geno Smith has offered a stamp of legitimacy to his sophomore season, and I\'m excited to see him after multiple weeks of rest and preparation. If the Mountaineers come into the contest focused, which I believe they will, NC State will have their hands full--unfortunately, WVU has not played well in bowl games without a fella by the name of Pat White under center.\r\n<h3>12/28 - Insight Bowl: Missouri vs. Iowa</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3148 aligncenter\" title=\"Blaine-Gabbert-Missouri-Tigers\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Blaine-Gabbert-Missouri-Tigers-e1292392509939.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"280\" /></p>\r\nMizzou flaked for two weeks this season. They sat in the drivers seat, took it to Oklahoma in convincing fashion, but couldn\'t get themselves up for the inevitable battles vs. Nebraska and the inferior Texas Tech. After getting the wheels back on track, they finished the season strong. Iowa\'s Ricky Stanzi is a joy to watch. 25 TDs to 4 INTs in 2010--flat out, impressive! He led the Hawkeyes to compete in every game, yet they dropped their final 3 only two weeks after knocking off #5 Michigan State. In this contest, Stanzi will be without a couple weapons who have been suspended for off-the-field issues. We\'ll see if the Hawkeyes can fill those gaps. In this border war on neutral ground, I gotta go with Missouri. MIZ-ZOU.\r\n<h3>12/29 - Military Bowl: East Carolina vs. Maryland</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3156 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Maryland-e1292395736293.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"359\" /></p>\r\nNothing like two state schools battling in the Military Bowl. ECU started the season off well at 5-2, then dropped 4 of their last 5. QB Dominique Davis will have his hands full vs. Maryland, who is disciplined, talented and oft disrespected on both sides of the ball. I\'m going Terps all the way in this first ever meeting between these two teams.\r\n<h3>12/29 - Texas Bowl: Illinois vs. Baylor</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3150 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/robert-griffinBaylor-e1292393352278.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"583\" /></p>\r\nDo yourself a favor and check out at least a visual snippet of this game. Baylor will play with the relative home field advantage, and will look to cap the season on a positive note after dropping their final three games. Baylor QB <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UUDvLUqwF1I\" target=\"_blank\">Robert Griffin III</a>, and Illinois RB Mikel Leshoure are two to watch in this battle. I\'m going with the Baylor Bears in their first bowl appearance since 1994.\r\n<h3>12/29 - Alamo Bowl: Oklahoma State vs. Arizona</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3151 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/JustinBlackmonOSU-e1292393858530.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"303\" /></p>\r\nTwo words. Justin Blackmon. The Arizona defensive game plan will be to shut this guy down. If I were Mike Gundy, and I were a man...who was forty...two... I would ensure that Blackmon receive 10 touches in this contest, even if they\'re triple teaming the guy--OSU has to get him the ball. Can you believe Dez Bryant and this dude played together? How\'d we miss that? Arizona can compete, and they can also fall flat in the second half of big games; however, you know the Stoops boys are sharing information on how to stop common foes. Regardless, this game belongs to the Cowboys.\r\n<h3>12/30 - Armed Forces Bowl: Army vs. SMU</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3152 aligncenter\" title=\"SMU\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SMU.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"399\" /></p>\r\nCan SMU stop Army\'s option attack? I believe that they can. It\'s so nice to see SMU back in the mix after years of football obscurity--I thought last season might have been a fluke, but it seems they\'re really on the upswing. June Jones will certainly have a few wrinkles in the game plan with so much time to prepare. Army will move the ball and will score some points, but when it comes down to it, they\'re inability to pass the ball effectively will hurt them vs. the Mustangs.\r\n<h3>12/30 - Pinstripe Bowl: Kansas St. vs. Syracuse</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3153 aligncenter\" title=\"bill-snyder-KSU\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/bill-snyder-KSU-e1292394624356.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"618\" /></p>\r\nBill Snyder is letting Syracuse know, \"Oh yeah, we\'re coming to New York, and we\'re gonna put it down! Meet us at Yankee Stadium, Orangmen!\" How can you pick against Bill Snyder? I know I can\'t.\r\n<h3>12/30 - Music City Bowl: North Carolina vs. Tennessee</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3167 aligncenter\" title=\"TaurenPooleTennessee\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/TaurenPooleTennessee-e1292399099390.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"336\" /></p>\r\nTo many Tar Heel fans, this will be the season that \"could have been.\" Broken rules + Player suspensions = Disappointing season. Tennessee, with all Kiffinesque things considered, had an amazing season--competing deep into games with some of the nation\'s most elite talent. I think Derek Dooley is going to do amazing things at UT! You hear that Colin Cowherd? Yeah, bro, I remember you dissing him earlier this season. He took Lane Kiffin\'s mess and is going to a bowl game...and the Volunteers will win.\r\n<h3>12/30 - Holiday Bowl: Nebraska vs. Washington</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3154 aligncenter\" title=\"jake-locker-Washington\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/jake-locker-Washington-e1292395215407.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"422\" /></p>\r\nJake Locker might wish he had declared for the draft after last season. The Huskies just didn\'t offer much support to the talent under center. Locker will have his hands full vs. a well prepared Bo Pelini/Nebraska defense. I\'ll honestly be surprised if Washington scores more than 13 points in this game. If you haven\'t seen Nebraska play this year, have a look-see. Roy Helu Jr. and Taylor Martinez are an exciting offensive duo.\r\n<h3>12/31 - Meineke Car Care Bowl: South Florida vs. Clemson</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3155 aligncenter\" title=\"KyleParkerClemson\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/KyleParkerClemson-e1292395520539.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"334\" /></p>\r\nI really don\'t have much to say about this one. It\'s not that I don\'t care, it\'s just that I don\'t care very much. Clemson put up yet another sub-par season, and the Bulls of South Florida are still trying to find their way under new leadership. Slight edge to the Tigers.\r\n<h3>12/31 - Sun Bowl: Notre Dame vs. Miami</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3157 aligncenter\" title=\"TommyReesNotreDame\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/TommyReesNotreDame-e1292395993738.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"398\" /></p>\r\nThe season in South Bend was riddled with tragedy. Am I about to go out on a limb? I certainly am. Yes, I believe Notre Dame will win this bowl game, but I also believe that Notre Dame has turned the corner under Brian Kelly. Regardless of how I feel, Miami is the popular favorite, and is sitting at -3.5 where you can pay to play. I\'m a little shocked by the line, considering the firing of Randy Shannon. Can\'t really explain my confidence on this one, but I think the gold hats prevail.\r\n<h3>12/31 - Liberty Bowl: Georgia vs. UCF</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3158 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/AJ-GREEN-Georgia.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" /></p>\r\nA.J. Green watched the beginning of the season in street clothes. That was the difference in Georgia\'s season. This Georgia squad proved that they could compete with the best when they went to war with Auburn. They fought hard for their sixth win to enjoy this extra game. I believe they\'ll take full advantage of it vs. the UCF Golden Knights. If you like NFL talent, tune in to enjoy <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FKTm9oFWJNg\" target=\"_blank\">A.J. Green</a>.\r\n<h3>12/31 - Chick-Fil-A Bowl: South Carolina vs. Florida State</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3160 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/marcus-lattimore-south-carolina-e1292396817797.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"347\" /></p>\r\nWant to see the best Freshman running back in the nation? He wears #21 for the Gamecocks. South Carolina playing at their best takes it to Alabama. South Carolina missing the mark gets hammered by Auburn. When I say South Carolina, yes, I mean QB Stephen Garcia--it comes and goes with his play--when he plays within the system and minimizes his mistakes, he\'s dangerous. Not only that, he\'s surrounded by talent. RB Marcus Lattimore, WRs Alshon Jefferey and Tori Gurley: These three are Sunday players. I like the Gamecocks--I like Steve Spurrier over Jimbo Fisher.\r\n<h3>1/1 - TicketCity Bowl: Northwestern vs. Texas Tech</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3161 aligncenter\" title=\"TaylorPottsTexTech\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/TaylorPottsTexTech-e1292397203255.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"290\" /></p>\r\nNorthwestern hasn\'t won a bowl game since the 1948 Rose Bowl. I don\'t think that streak is going to end vs. this Texas Tech team. Tommy Tuberville has quietly taken a messy situation in Lubbock, TX, and worked a few wonders. As much as I love NW coach Pat Fitzgerald\'s mojo, I think the Red Raiders will be slingin\' their guns in this battle.\r\n<h3>1/1 - Outback Bowl: Florida vs. Penn State</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3162 aligncenter\" title=\"urban-meyer\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/urban-meyer.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" /></p>\r\nFarewell, Urban. As an LSU fan, I\'m supposed to loathe you, but I don\'t. You\'re probably as confused as I am about your 2010 Gators squad. This Florida team just seemed unfocused, grossly lacking that on field leadership that Tim Tebow offered the previous four years. Making matters worse is Florida QB John Brantley who is considering a transfer after the season. If I could offer a bit of advice--just play one game at a time, young man, and stay where you are. What can <em>you</em> offer to the program? Where could <em>you</em> lead it? I foresee the squad focused for Urban\'s final game on the UF sidelines. Penn State will be no pushover, but they simply don\'t have the firepower to run with the Gators, even if both squads are firing on both cylinders.\r\n<h3>1/1 - Capital One Bowl: Alabama vs. Michigan State</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3163 aligncenter\" title=\"markingramAlabma\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/markingramAlabma-e1292398330265.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"525\" /></p>\r\nHow did Alabama lose three games this season? I still believe they\'re the most talented team in the country. Rarely do a I look at a coach like Nick Saban and question personnel decisions, but I felt Mark Ingram was underutilized all season, considering the early season knee issue. Yes, I\'m an outsider--perhaps both Ingram and Trent Richardson are headed to the draft, in which case, I get it. I hope to see Ingram get 20+ carries in the Capital One Bowl. The Tide will roll in this match-up. Yeah, I\'m biased--I love the SEC, and can\'t stand the Big 10.\r\n<h3>1/1 - Gator Bowl: Mississippi State vs. Michigan</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3164 aligncenter\" title=\"Denard-Robinson-Michigan\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Denard-Robinson-Michigan-e1292398764413.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" /></p>\r\nIt\'s another SEC vs. Big 10 match-up. Hmmmm...wonder which way I\'m going? I do love watching Denard Robinson play, but after facing Cam Newton, Mississippi State will feel like they\'re playing against Newton\'s little brother. Mississippi State is a very good football team, and they\'ll come off the field with the hardware.\r\n<h3>1/1 - Rose Bowl: Wisconsin vs. TCU</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3168 aligncenter\" title=\"andy-dalton-TCU\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/andy-dalton-TCU-e1292399196883.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"343\" /></p>\r\nIf the regular season was any indication, these two teams could merit an U/O of 100. I see a clash of the titans in the 2011 Rose Bowl game. I feel like TCU learned an incredible lesson in their loss to Boise State last bowl season--they haven\'t lost since, and they\'ve left nothing on the field since. I\'m taking the Horned Frogs over the Badgers, and to finish #2 in the final BCS standings.\r\n<h3>1/1 - Fiesta Bowl: UConn vs. Oklahoma</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3169 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/OU-DeMarco-Murray-e1292399981861.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"371\" /></p>\r\nWorst bowl match-up ever? We\'ll see. This is definitive proof of the failure that is the BCS. Sure, the Fiesta Bowl has a tendency to turn Oklahoma into Choklahoma, but not with this squad, and not vs. UCONN. I pity the Huskies. I know they\'ll come to play, but I feel as if the OU Stoops crew will be looking to send a message to the BCS and their computers.\r\n<h3>1/3 - Orange Bowl: Stanford vs. Virginia Tech</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3170 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/AndrewLuckStanford-e1292400895341.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" /></p>\r\nThis match-up has the makings of a solid game. After their early season falter, Virginia Tech put together an impressive run--11 straight wins. Stanford\'s only loss was to Oregon, and it could easily be argued that the Cardinal (yes, Cardinal--color, not animal) weren\'t playing their best ball until late in the season. I\'d go so far as to say that they could beat Oregon if they played tomorrow. I like Jim Harbaugh\'s boys in this battle. If you tune in, be prepared for the ongoing booth dialog about Andrew Luck as an NFL prospect. I would suggest that the Jr. stick around, considering the NFL season in 2011-12 will probably be 9 games long, beginning in November.\r\n<h3>1/4 - Sugar Bowl: Ohio State vs. Arkansas</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3171 aligncenter\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/PryorOSU-e1292401173619.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"388\" /></p>\r\nAnother Big 10/SEC match-up? Terrelle Pryor is an exciting athlete. Ryan Mallett is a better QB. Sorry OSU fans. I enjoy watching TP, but I don\'t think you realize what you\'re up against in Arkansas. The <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyY8oUXaTio\" target=\"_blank\">Hogs</a> played with everyone in the SEC only losing to Alabama and Auburn--Alabama by 4, and Auburn in a shoot-out with a score grossly misrepresenting how close the contest actually was. I\'ll stick with the SEC in this one. I know--shocker.\r\n<h3>1/6 - GoDaddy.com Bowl: Middle Tennessee vs. Miami (OH)</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3172 aligncenter\" title=\"DwightDasherMTSU\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/DwightDasherMTSU-e1292401966658.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" /></p>\r\nPerhaps a slightly disappointing season for senior MTSU QB Dwight Dasher. The guy can make plays, but missing multiple games at the beginning of the season forced him to try and find mid-season form with no action under his belt. Things won\'t get easier for him vs. a Miami (OH) Redhawks squad that was on the verge of death a year ago. The \'hawks are flying high and should dictate all aspects of this match-up.\r\n<h3>1/7 - Cotton Bowl: LSU vs. Texas A&amp;M</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3173 aligncenter\" title=\"PatrickPetersonLSU\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/PatrickPetersonLSU-e1292402334317.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" /></p>\r\nI\'ll try to keep it short and sweet. A die hard Tiger fan, I\'m thoroughly excited for this match-up vs. Texas A&amp;M in Dallas. LSU has struggled offensively nearly all season long, simply due to inconsistent QB play. Running back Stevan Ridley may be one of the best kept secrets in the NCAA. The defense, led by DT Drake Nevis and CB Patrick Peterson are as close to an NFL style defense you\'ll see at the collegiate level. A&amp;M kicked their season up a notch by going to Frosh QB Ryan Tannehill early in the season--he became their difference maker. He saw some decent defenses in the Big 12, but he\'s never seen a defense with this speed and strength of this LSU squad--fully rested and ready to roll. If LSU QB Jordan Jefferson can begin to play to his potential, this could cap a nice season for the Bayou Bengals. I LOVE LSU in this one. You should love them, too.\r\n<h3>1/8 - BBVA Compass Bowl: Pittsburgh vs. Kentucky</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3174 aligncenter\" title=\"randall-cobb-Kentucky\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/randall-cobb-Kentucky-e1292402772920.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"361\" /></p>\r\nYou heard about Kentucky QB Mike Hartline getting suspended, yes? This could actually be beneficial for the Cats, as they\'ll more than likely go to sophomore QB Morgan Newton. Perhaps Wildcats coach Joker Phillips may also show more wildcat looks with the best player you\'ve probably never heard of, Randall Cobb. The smart choice here is probably the Pitt Panthers, but I\'m going with Kentucky in <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WhgaIWWh0QE\" target=\"_blank\">Randall Cobb</a>\'s final game in UK Blue--SEC over an average team from a pretty weak Big East conference.\r\n<h3>1/9 - Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl: Nevada vs. Boston College</h3>\r\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img class=\"size-full wp-image-3175 aligncenter\" title=\"KaepernickNevada\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/KaepernickNevada-e1292403317403.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" /></p>\r\nHow can you not love Colin Kaepernick? Nevada\'s pistol attack is absolutely deadly. When they get down, they can come back in a hurry. When they\'re up, they can bury a team just as quickly. Don\'t believe me? Just ask Boise State. The Boston College defense may be one of the better units Nevada has faced, excluding Boise State, yet I don\'t think the Eagles can handle the Wolf Pack attack for all four quarters. Sticking with Kaepernick, leading Nevada to the best season in school history!\r\n<h3>1/10 - BCS National Championship: Oregon vs. Auburn</h3>\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/iOi2hj_sjyY?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/iOi2hj_sjyY?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\nVS.\r\n\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"500\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/QehP9o5S3Hs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"500\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/QehP9o5S3Hs?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\nCan Oregon possibly stop Auburn? I don\'t think so. I don\'t think there\'s any way that they can stop all facets of Auburn\'s offensive attack, led by Heisman award winner, Cameron Newton. If you haven\'t seen Cam Newton play this season, you\'ll have to take my word. My opinion on this matter is worthy of the pundit stamp.\r\n\r\nThere is no <em>known</em> way to contain him for four quarters. Even when Alabama found a way to contain him for a couple of quarters, he just kept coming. Add to that fact a tremendous supporting cast who also just keeps coming, and Oregon is probably shifting their mindset towards a shoot-out.\r\n\r\nCan Auburn slow or stop Oregon? I believe Auburn can, and will. Put it this way: Oregon will have to beat Auburn by putting the ball in the air. Auburn\'s weakness has been in the secondary, yet they\'re much improved. With five weeks to prepare for this game, they\'ll be even better. I just don\'t see Darron Thomas executing that kind of a passing attack.\r\n\r\nI foresee the Auburn defensive game plan focused on stopping LaMichael James. The Auburn defensive front, led by Nick Fairley, will wear on Oregon as the game goes on, and they\'ll get to Thomas. The difference may be in what Thomas can offer once a play begins to break down.\r\n\r\nI don\'t see this one playing close for very long. It\'s going to be incredibly interesting to see what happens if the Ducks get down early, playing from an unfamiliar position. For this game to go the distance, Oregon needs to run out front, and score a lot of points.\r\n\r\nI like Auburn--clearly. I think once the nervous energy subsides on both sidelines, and both teams get down to business, the contest will end with Auburn raising the Waterford Crystal, BCS Coaches Trophy. Every Auburn fan who booed the hiring of Gene Chizik will happily eat some crow...and it\'ll taste sooo good.','2010 College Bowl Preview ','','publish','open','open','','2010-college-bowl-preview','','','2010-12-15 13:30:59','2010-12-15 21:30:59','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=3127',0,'post','',0),(3124,9,'2010-12-13 10:30:41','2010-12-13 18:30:41','<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/nOdmwtd-EaM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"560\" height=\"340\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/nOdmwtd-EaM?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','AXE Cleans Your Balls Calls','','publish','open','open','','axe-cleans-your-balls-calls','','','2010-12-13 10:30:41','2010-12-13 18:30:41','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=3124',0,'post','',0),(2767,2,'2010-11-12 17:37:37','2010-11-13 01:37:37','','IPATH_Cat_olive_shearling','','inherit','open','open','','ipath_cat_olive_shearling-2','','','2010-11-12 17:37:37','2010-11-13 01:37:37','',0,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/IPATH_Cat_olive_shearling1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2768,2,'2010-11-15 04:15:37','2010-11-15 12:15:37','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2767\" title=\"IPATH_Cat_olive_shearling\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/IPATH_Cat_olive_shearling1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"332\" />\r\n\r\nI’m usually a sneaker guy.

The world knows him as Spock, but the guy’s about so much more than pointy ears, living long and prospering.  Over the years, Nimoy has wrestled with his status as a pop culture icon. He wrote an autobiography in 1977 called <em>I Am Not Spock</em> and followed that up with another autobiography in 1995 titled <em>I Am Spock</em>. Whenever you see Nimoy, it’s hard not to associate the man with the character he made famous. That said, there’s a ton of randomly fascinating things about the guy that you probably didn’t know. Here are 10 reasons (in no particular order, except for No.1) why Leonard Nimoy is more interesting than you thought:\r\n<h2><strong>10. Pet Shop Boy</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2784\" title=\"Exotic Pet Shop\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Exotic-Pet-Shop.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"379\" />\r\nIn 1970, after Star Trek was cancelled, Nimoy opened up an exotic pet shop. Imagine shopping for some tropical fish and running into Spock behind the counter. You’d probably freak out a lil’ bit.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<h2><strong>9. <em>Twilight Zone</em></strong></h2>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2775\" title=\"A_Quality_of_Mercy\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/A_Quality_of_Mercy.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"358\" />\r\n\r\nNimoy appeared opposite Dean Stockwell (of future Quantum Leap fame) in “A Quality of Mercy,” the 80<sup>th</sup> episode of the <em>Twilight Zone</em>. The episode originally aired in 1961 (five years before Star Trek). This episode from the third season of the TV series was later adapted into the first portion of <em>Twilight Zone: The Movie</em>, the feature film that was released in 1983.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<h2><strong>8. A Poet and a Scholar</strong></h2>\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/H7VGQ6kNFq8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/H7VGQ6kNFq8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\r\n\r\nNimoy speaks fluent Hebrew and Yiddish. He has a Master’s Degree in Education and he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from Antioch University for his efforts in Holocaust Remembrance. He published his first book of poetry, “You and I” in the 1977, and has published several more volumes of poetry over the years. He also dabbled in some playwriting and hosted the awesomely educational program <em><a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074007/\" target=\"_blank\">In Search Of…</a> </em>from 1976 to 1982. The dude’s smart.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<h2><strong>7.

The guy recorded five albums for Dot Records. Here’s a look at his discography:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li><a title=\"Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock\'s Music From Outer Space\" href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leonard_Nimoy_Presents_Mr._Spock%27s_Music_From_Outer_Space\">Leonard Nimoy Presents Mr. Spock\'s Music From Outer Space</a></li>\r\n	<li><a title=\"Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy\" href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_Sides_of_Leonard_Nimoy\">Two Sides of Leonard Nimoy</a></li>\r\n	<li><a title=\"The Way I Feel (Leonard Nimoy album)\" href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Way_I_Feel_%28Leonard_Nimoy_album%29\">The Way I Feel</a></li>\r\n	<li><a title=\"The Touch of Leonard Nimoy\" href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Touch_of_Leonard_Nimoy\">The Touch of Leonard Nimoy</a></li>\r\n	<li><a title=\"The New World of Leonard Nimoy\" href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_New_World_of_Leonard_Nimoy\">The New World of Leonard Nimoy</a></li>\r\n</ul>\r\nThe video up top is for the “Ballad of Bilbo Baggins.” Nimoy also covered “<a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVySWOaCcRQ\" target=\"_blank\">Proud Mary</a>” (seriously), did a super slow-head rendition of Bobby Hebb’s “<a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFUaHWAJ9_4&amp;feature=watch_response\" target=\"_blank\">Sunny</a>,” and put out some seriously spacey-loungey tripout tracks like “<a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zlG7Zrr-WQA&amp;feature=related\" target=\"_blank\">Music to Watch Space Girls By</a>.” (Click that link, you won\'t be sorry).\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<h2><strong>6. Music Video Director</strong></h2>\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/dWC2-MFwWr8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/dWC2-MFwWr8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\n\r\nI don’t know how this pairing got started, but Nimoy hooked up with The Bangles and directed (and appeared) in the music video for the song “Going Down to Liverpool.” Check it out.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<h2><strong>5. Voice of Galvatron in <em>The</em> <em>Transformers: The Movie</em></strong></h2>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2785\" title=\"galvatron\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/galvatron.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" />\r\n\r\nThe original Transformers movie was the best. Sure, Michael Bay and Megan Fox can put on a good show, but the original cartoon movie had a kickass 1986-flavored soundtrack from Stan Bush. <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COYRxf13tIg\" target=\"_blank\">The Touch</a> wasn’t the only highlight though. The film also featured some heavy-hitting voice acting from Robert Stack, Orson Welles and Leonard Nimoy, who put his voice behind Galvatron, leader of the Decepticons.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<h2><strong>4. Married to Director Michael Bay’s Cousin </strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2777\" title=\"michaelbaytransformers\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/michaelbaytransformers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"303\" />\r\n\r\nSpeaking of Michael Bay, Nimoy’s been married to Bay’s cousin, Susan Bay, since 1988.\r\n<h2><strong>3. Accomplished Photographer</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2778\" title=\"Max-and-Dora\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Max-and-Dora.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"381\" />\r\n\r\nLeonard Nimoy studied photography under Robert Heineken at UCLA in the 70s. His work was recently on display at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, and according to R. Michelson Galleries, Nimoy’s work can be seen at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Judah L. Magnes Museum, The LA County Museum of Art, the Jewish Museum of NY, The New Orleans Museum of Fine Art and The Hammer Museum. Dude also received an “artist in residence” appointment from the American Academy in Rome. Check out his <a href=\"http://www.rmichelson.com/Artist_Pages/Nimoy/pages/Leonard-Nimoy-Gallery.html\" target=\"_blank\">galleries</a> to see for yourself.\r\n<h2><strong>2. Donated $1 Million to Help Renovate the Griffith Park Observatory</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2781\" title=\"Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Theater\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Leonard-Nimoy-Event-Horizon-Theater.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"361\" />\r\n\r\nNimoy, along with his wife Susan, donated $1 million dollars to the renovation effort of the Griffith Park Observatory in Los Angeles. Nimoy now has a theater at the observatory named after him, the Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Theater. He narrates a documentary that can be seen at the theater called <em>The Once and Future Griffith Observatory</em>.\r\n<h2><strong>1. Directed the 1987 hit film <em>Three Men and a Baby</em></strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2776\" title=\"Three-Men-And-A-Baby\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Three-Men-And-A-Baby.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"284\" />\r\n\r\nNimoy has directed five feature films including two Star Trek films - <em>Star Trek III: The Search of Spock</em> in 1984 and <em>Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home</em> in 1986. He also directed the highest grossing film of 1987, <em>Three Men and a Baby</em>. If you haven’t seen this timeless Selleck-Gutenberg-Danson classic lately, you’re missing out. Back in ’87, it was totally acceptable for a woman to leave her baby on the doorstep of an apartment shared by three straight dudes who love short shorts. Things were different then. You’d have to watch this time capsule buddy flick to really understand the era.\r\n\r\nSo there you go. Nimoy’s an accomplished actor, scholar, poet, photographer, musician, director and exotic pet shop owner.  He’s philanthropic, down with Transformers and he’s responsible for <em>Three Men and a Baby</em>. That’s a pretty sick set of accomplishments. Add on the whole Spock thing, and you got yourself a legend.','10 Reasons Why Leonard Nimoy Is More Interesting Than You Thought','','publish','open','open','','10-reasons-why-leonard-nimoy-is-more-interesting-than-you-thought','','','2010-11-30 11:42:43','2010-11-30 19:42:43','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2773',0,'post','',13),(2776,2,'2010-11-15 03:49:12','2010-11-15 11:49:12','','Three-Men-And-A-Baby','','inherit','open','open','','three-men-and-a-baby','','','2010-11-15 03:49:12','2010-11-15 11:49:12','',2773,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Three-Men-And-A-Baby.jpg',8,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2774,2,'2010-11-15 03:35:37','2010-11-15 11:35:37','Leonard Nimoy is an interesting dude.

Nimoy’s an accomplished actor, scholar, poet, photographer, musician, director and exotic pet shop owner.  He’s philanthropic, down with Transformers and he’s responsible for <em>Three Men and a Baby</em>.

The world knows him as Spock, but the guy’s about so much more than pointy ears, living long and prospering.  Over the years, Nimoy has wrestled with his status as a pop culture icon. He wrote an autobiography in 1977 called <em>I Am Not Spock</em> and followed that up with another autobiography in 1995 titled <em>I Am Spock</em>. Whenever you see Nimoy, it’s hard not to associate the man with the character he made famous. That said, there’s a ton of randomly fascinating things about the guy that you probably didn’t know.

The world knows him as Spock, but the guy’s about so much more than pointy ears, living long and prospering.  Over the years, Nimoy has wrestled with his status as a pop culture icon. He wrote an autobiography in 1977 called <em>I Am Not Spock</em> and followed that up with another autobiography in 1995 titled <em>I Am Spock</em>. Whenever you see Nimoy, it’s hard not to associate the man with the character he made famous. That said, there’s a ton of randomly fascinating things about the guy that you probably didn’t know. Here are 10 reasons why Leonard Nimoy is more interesting than you thought:\n<h2><strong>Pet Shop Boy</strong></h2>\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2784\" title=\"Exotic Pet Shop\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Exotic-Pet-Shop.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"379\" />\nIn 1970, after Star Trek was cancelled, Nimoy opened up an exotic pet shop.

The episode originally aired in 1961 (five years before Star Trek). This episode from the third season of the TV series was later adapted into the first portion of <em>Twilight Zone: The Movie</em>, the feature film that was released in 1983.\n\n<strong> </strong>\n<h2><strong>A Poet and a Scholar</strong></h2>\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/H7VGQ6kNFq8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"480\" height=\"385\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/H7VGQ6kNFq8?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"> </embed></object>\n\nNimoy speaks fluent Hebrew and Yiddish.

He published his first book of poetry, “You and I” in the 1977, and has published several more volumes of poetry over the years. He also dabbled in some playwriting and hosted the awesomely educational program <em><a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0074007/\" target=\"_blank\">In Search Of…</a> </em>from 1976 to 1982.

Sure, Michael Bay and Megan Fox can put on a good show, but the original cartoon movie had a kickass 1986-flavored soundtrack from Stan Bush. <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COYRxf13tIg\" target=\"_blank\">The Touch</a> wasn’t the only highlight though. The film also featured some heavy-hitting voice acting from Robert Stack, Orson Welles and Leonard Nimoy, who put his voice behind Galvatron, leader of the Decepticons.\n\n<strong> </strong>\n<h2><strong>4.

He also directed the highest grossing film of 1987, <em>Three Men and a Baby</em>. If you haven’t seen this timeless Selleck-Gutenberg-Danson classic lately, you’re missing out. Back in ’87, it was totally acceptable for a woman to leave her baby on the doorstep of an apartment shared by three straight dudes who love short shorts. Things were different then. You’d have to watch this time capsule buddy flick to really understand the era.\n\nSo there you go. Nimoy’s an accomplished actor, scholar, poet, photographer, musician, director and exotic pet shop owner.  He’s philanthropic, down with Transformers and he’s responsible for <em>Three Men and a Baby</em>. That’s a pretty sick set of accomplishments. Add on the whole Spock thing, and you got yourself a legend.','10 Reasons Why Leonard Nimoy Is More Interesting Than You Thought','','inherit','open','open','','2773-autosave','','','2011-01-14 10:59:54','2011-01-14 18:59:54','',2773,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2773-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(2788,2,'2010-11-15 04:08:39','2010-11-15 12:08:39','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2780\" title=\"nimoy-lead\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/nimoy-lead.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"615\" height=\"290\" />\r\n\r\nLeonard Nimoy is an interesting dude. The world knows him as Spock, but the guy’s about so much more than pointy ears, living long and prospering.  Over the years, Nimoy has wrestled with his status as a pop culture icon. He wrote an autobiography in 1977 called <em>I Am Not Spock</em> and followed that up with another autobiography in 1995 titled <em>I Am Spock</em>. Whenever you see Nimoy, it’s hard not to associate the man with the character he made famous. That said, there’s a ton of randomly fascinating things about the guy that you probably didn’t know. Here are 10 reasons why Leonard Nimoy is more interesting than you thought:\r\n<h2><strong>Pet Shop Boy</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2784\" title=\"Exotic Pet Shop\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Exotic-Pet-Shop.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"379\" />\r\nIn 1970, after Star Trek was cancelled, Nimoy opened up an exotic pet shop.

The guy recorded five albums for Dot Records.

Voice of Galvatron in <em>The</em> <em>Transformers: The Movie</em></strong></h2>\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2785\" title=\"galvatron\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/galvatron.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\" />\r\n\r\nThe original Transformers movie was the best. Sure, Michael Bay and Megan Fox can put on a good show, but the original cartoon movie had a kickass 1986-flavored soundtrack from Stan Bush. <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COYRxf13tIg\" target=\"_blank\">The Touch</a> wasn’t the only highlight though, the film also featured some heavy-hitting voice acting from Robert Stack, Orson Welles and Leonard Nimoy.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<h2><strong>4.

His work was recently on display at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, and according to R. Michelson Galleries, Nimoy’s work can be seen at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Judah L. Magnes Museum, The LA County Museum of Art, the Jewish Museum of NY, The New Orleans Museum of Fine Art and The Hammer Museum. Dude also received an “artist in residence” appointment from the American Academy in Rome.

Nimoy now has a theater at the observatory named after him, the Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon Theater. He narrates a documentary that can be seen at the theater called <em>The Once and Future Griffith Observatory</em>.\r\n<h2><strong>1. Directed the 1987 hit film <em>Three Men and a Baby</em></strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2776\" title=\"Three-Men-And-A-Baby\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Three-Men-And-A-Baby.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"480\" height=\"284\" />\r\n\r\nNimoy has directed five feature films including two Star Trek films - <em>Star Trek III: The Search of Spock</em> in 1984 and <em>Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home</em> in 1986. He also directed the highest grossing film of 1987, <em>Three Men and a Baby</em>. If you haven’t seen this timeless Selleck-Gutenberg-Danson classic lately, you’re missing out. Back in ’87, it was totally acceptable for a woman to leave her baby on the doorstep of an apartment shared by three straight dudes who love short shorts. Things were different then. You’d have to watch this time capsule buddy flick to really understand the era.\r\n\r\nSo there you go. Nimoy’s an accomplished actor, scholar, poet, photographer, musician, director and exotic pet shop owner.  He’s philanthropic, down with Transformers and he’s responsible for <em>Three Men and a Baby</em>. That’s a pretty sick set of accomplishments. Add on the whole Spock thing, and you got yourself a legend.','10 Reasons Why Leonard Nimoy Is More Interesting Than You Thought','','inherit','open','open','','2773-revision-6','','','2010-11-15 04:14:38','2010-11-15 12:14:38','',2773,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2773-revision-6/',0,'revision','',0),(2793,2,'2010-11-15 13:38:04','2010-11-15 21:38:04','(And/Or Travesties)\r\n\r\nOh, what a tough pill to swallow.

At the center of the controversy was the continuation of a \"slush fund\" for players who required some cash, from the mid-70s to the mid-80s. After the university and so many university supporters were found to be dealing in corruption, an NCAA committee voted to cancel the entire 1987 football season, and only allowed SMU to participate in away games in the 1988 season. This nearly destroyed the SMU program.

Still scrambling for that perfect gift? Not sure what to get that special someone on your list? Well if you’ve waited till the last minute to find a kickass gift, you’re in luck. The <a href=\"http://ardrone.parrot.com/parrot-ar-drone/en\" target=\"_blank\">AR.Drone quadricopter</a> will set you apart from every other gift giver this Christmas. It’s essentially a flying video game that you can control with your iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad. Sound crazy? Well, it is.\r\n\r\nThe AR.Drone is a remote controlled quadricopter that has an on-board Wi-Fi System that allows you to play other AR. Drone users on a network. If you have two AR. Drones in the mix, you can compete in the multiplayer game <a href=\"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vQ-oZzisJIw\" target=\"_blank\">AR.FlyingAce</a>. This augmented reality game lets you launch missiles at your buddy during some seriously interactive dogfights. Check it out:\r\n\r\nThe Parrot AR.Drone is designed to operate both inside and outside. The average range is an impressive 50 meters/ 160 feet. The thing can fly up to 6 meters/ 20 feet high!\r\n\r\nThere are two cameras embedded in each AR. Drone, one in the front of the drone and one located underneath the quadricopter facing the ground. You can fly the thing around all by yourself and get a live video feed on your iPhone screen, or you can battle a friend in some head-to-head action. The AR.FreeFlight game and the AR.FlyingAce game are both available through iTunes.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Steve-Nash.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3248\" title=\"Steve-Nash\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Steve-Nash.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"214\" /></a>How does it all work?

class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3426\" title=\"Harvey Walden lead\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/Harvey-Walden-lead.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"599\" height=\"282\" /></a>\n\nHarvey Walden doesn’t want to hear your excuses, bro. The former drill instructor, who has appeared on shows like Fat Club and Celebrity Fit Club, is an all-around fitness badass. He believes that proper fitness isn’t a chore. For Walden, living a healthy lifestyle isn’t something that you should convince yourself to do. It’s the obvious play. Why the hell wouldn’t you want to be healthy? It’s an easy choice, and one that you need to make every day.\n\nThat’s not to say that you don’t have to work at it. But for Walden, fitness isn’t work. It’s an investment in your longevity. You only have one body in this life. Why not maintain it, right?\n\nI spoke with Walden this week to get his thoughts on fitness, nutrition, dumbbell exercises, P90X and beer belly trouble. His takes were simple and refreshing. The guy knows how to motivate, and it’s hard to argue with his logic and his no-nonsense, quit-your-bitching-you-soft-excuse-for-a-man approach to fitness. Here’s the full interview:\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Let me ask you first about your motivational style. I know you were in the Marines for like 20 years and you bring a drill sergeant mentality to your approach to fitness, so how exactly do you go about motivating people and what do you think is the best way to motivate people fitness wise?\n\n<strong><a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/harvey.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3424\" title=\"harvey\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/harvey.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"240\" height=\"360\" /></a>HW:</strong> Well that’s what works for me, because that’s what I know best. I was brought up in the martial arts as a young kid, so I always had an authoritarian type of mentality. Just kind of making people do what they don’t really want to do, but helping them come out of their comfort zone. Once they see what they’re really capable of, they really enjoy it. They like it. A lot of people get stuck in that rut and don’t want to come out of their comfort zone. But once I bring them out of that, it’s a good thing and they enjoy it, you know. And that’s my gratification, too. Like you said, I was in the Marine Corps. I was in the Marine Corps for over 23 years and there’s nothing better than taking somebody who can’t even walk and chew gum at the same time and then showing them that they can really rock and roll and kick butt and take initials.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> So it’s after the New Year and everybody’s got their New Year’s resolutions to either trim down or just live a healthier lifestyle. What do you think are some essential fitness elements that are missing from most people’s routines?\n\n<strong>HW:</strong> Consistency. Everybody wants to deal with these fad diets. They see these hot new diets out there and that trash don’t work. You have to go right back to the basics, man. You know, eating healthy meals, watching your portions, actually busting your butt and doing the work in a gym or power-walking or running. Get yourself a partner, too. You know you can<strong> </strong>never go wrong if you get a workout partner; somebody who wants to lose that beer belly right along with you. You’re going to keep each other honest. You should also keep a journal. Write down everything you’ve done. Write down how much you’re eating, write down what you’re eating, put down your moods, if you’re having a bad hair day put that down in there, but still get your butt in there and work out and when you get done working out you’ll see that your mood has changed.<strong> </strong>You’ll appreciate the fact that you gave it that extra 110 percent and stop making excuses and just get it done.  If you’re caught up with the fad diets, it won’t last. But if you do it the right way, it’ll last forever. You’ll put your body in a state that always has what we call “muscle memory.” If you fall off that track, it’ll be easy for you to get right back in the fight and get all the checks and balances in check.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Now if someone doesn’t have a gym membership but they still want to do some sort of daily exercises to kind of start small and get into it – get into that consistency – what are some back-to-basics types of fitness exercises that you recommend people do?\n\n<!--more-->\n\n<strong>HW:</strong> You know, I got a lot of people that were hitting me up on <a href=\"http://twitter.com/#!/HARVEYWALDEN\" target=\"_blank\">Twitter</a>, my website, Facebook and stuff on that same exact question. People are either scared to get into the gym or they couldn’t afford trainers, someone said he couldn’t even go out and get the book. So I said I’m<strong> </strong>putting everything on a blog. I created this “Harvey Walden Guide to Fitness,” and I put everything I could think of on the website, on the <a href=\"http://www.harveywalden.com/\" target=\"_blank\">HarveyWalden.com</a> website and I also put it on the <a href=\"http://www.yell.com/health/blog/author/harveywalden/\" target=\"_blank\">Yell.com website</a>. So you can go in there you and start from Day 1 all the way until Day 300 throughout the whole year. That start’s with, first of all, if your doctor says you’re good to go and you don’t have any malfunctions, start power walking, 30 minutes. If you’re a runner, then get yourself some powerful running shoes, get out there and hit the pavement, start running. If you have a gym membership, get in to the gym and just do like a round robin. If you want to lose weight, you’ve got to do the cardio. There’s no ifs ands or buts about it. You’ve got to get on the treadmill, get on the elliptical machine, get on the bike, get on the roller. If you get kind of bored with it—and a lot of people do—just a round robin. Do 10 minutes on the elliptical, 10 minutes on the bike, 10 minutes on the treadmill, another 10 minutes on the Stairmaster, three times a week. Now if you want to lose weight, you’ve got to do the cardio five times a week.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Five times!\n\n<strong>HW:</strong> If you’re trying to lose weight you need to be working out five times a week.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Okay.\n\n<strong>HW:</strong> And three of those days you should have some resistance training in there. That can be on the machines or you can do it by using the resistance bands. You know, I was working with somebody the other day and I showed them how to use the resistance bands and how to use your own body weight. Building your core on the stability exercise ball, you’d be surprised what all those little small apparatuses will do. It gives you your stomach a good work out.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Now is it better to work out in the morning or the evening or does that not really matter?\n\n<strong>HW:</strong> It matters with your lifestyle. Me, I get up at zero-dark-thirty, so for me, the morning works good. Then some days, I’m in a gym at midnight. So whatever lifestyle you have, you work it into your lifestyle. I’m tired of people making it sound like a chore to work out, you know what I mean? It’s not a chore man, it’s your lifestyle. Your life is too short as it is. If you can’t give yourself 30 minutes to an hour to give you some longevity here on Earth and get yourself healthy, then what’s the point? You know, make it work for you. If you have to get up an hour early in the morning, then do it. If you have to travel to work and join a gym that’s on your way to work, you can either stop there on your way or you can stop there on your way back home. Make it work for you. There are no riddles. People make excuses, they can’t do this, can’t do that. Man, look this is your life, grasshopper.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\n\n<strong>HW:</strong> And life is too short.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Now nutrition obviously plays a large factor in the whole fitness thing. What do you think is missing from most people’s diets or how do people eat incorrectly? I know we’re all guilty of eating horrible food now and again, but what are some easy, simple, quick, nutrition tips that you can give to people to just start integrating more good stuff in what they eat?\n\n<strong>HW:</strong> The first thing I’d say is to have a cheat day out of the week. You know there’s nothing wrong with having one day out of the week where you just eat what you want. That’s your cheat day. The other days try to eat healthy, stay away from eating a whole bunch of carbs. Get some healthy carbs. Eat your fruits and vegetables, eat as many fruits and vegetables as you want.\n\n<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/harvey-walden-pointing.jpg\"><img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3425\" title=\"harvey-walden-pointing\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/harvey-walden-pointing.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"228\" height=\"300\" /></a>In the morning, maybe have some oatmeal, egg white omelet, a low-fat yogurt, fruits, whole wheat. For lunch, have a healthy in between your breakfast—carrot sticks, almonds, dried fruits—then have a healthy lunch with a turkey sandwich, a salad, a chicken sandwich. After lunch you have another healthy snack and that can be anything from dried fruits again, vegetables, almonds. Then for dinner, there’s a lot of people who want to really pile on a lot of food at dinner but if you’re not going to hit the gym after, if you’re not going to get a workout in after dinner, you shouldn’t be piling on a plate full of food like you’re at the Cheescake Factory.  Same thing there, you want to have something healthy and stay away from all the starches and the pastas and stuff like that. If you’re going to eat the pastas, I recommend you keep your portions in control and I recommend you move that to the middle of your day so you can have the whole day to burn off the those carbs. You can’t just eliminate carbs from your body completely, because your body does need them. People go on these “no carb” diets and then they want to work out but you don’t have any energy to work out. When you think about it, that’s where you get that energy from, your carbs. The trick is just don’t overload on the carbs, unless you’re like a marathon runner. We have pasta days to get ready for our long runs, but hell, we’re out running 20 miles, you know what I mean?\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right. So if you have two dumbbells at home, just some basic, small 20-pound weights, what are some good exercises you can do around the house with just two dumbbells?\n\n<strong>HW:</strong> Oh you can do a whole lot. I’ve got these body builders – I call them 12 pound bodybuilders with the dumbbells. You can actually take the dumbbells—you start in a squat position—and you come up and you can do an arm curl with the dumbbell, or you can alternate, you can do full arm curls with the other, and you do a military press<strong> </strong>with the dumbbells. You take them over your head, and you come back down, you can do two more arm curls, and you go right back to the squat position and you put the dumbbells down to the floor on the outside of each foot.\n\nYou can also do a push up with those dumbbells. As you have both dumbbells in your hands, with your palms facing inwards, then you kick your feet out and you do maybe two pushups, you come back into the squat position, and as you come up, you take a dumbbells and you do a military press over your head.\n\nIf you have an exercise ball you can sit on the ball as well and squeeze in your gut, contracting your abs, and you can do dumbbell curls on the ball as well as the military press. So you’re sitting on the ball and you’re building your core and you’re doing your arms, shoulders, and legs.\n\nYou can also do<strong> </strong>lat raises<strong> </strong>with the dumbbells, taking the dumbbells out from your sides and raising them to about shoulder height. You can do squats with the dumbbells as well, when you’re doing the squats you can hold the dumbbells at your sides. You can also do lunges. You can do a million type of exercises with dumbbells, man. I have dumbbells at my place and I pull them out every now and again and in the middle of the night if I’m just getting ready for a shoot the next day. I do dumbbell presses, squat thrusts, curls, you name it. You can just work wonders with it. You can get a total body workout with dumbbells. There’s no excuse at all.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Nice man. I know we kind of talked about the beer belly already, you mentioned cardio, but is there any way to lose a beer belly while continuing to drink or not really?\n\n<strong>HW:</strong> Well here’s the thing, you can’t spot reduce. So to lose the belly, you have to increase the cardio and take in less calories. You need to burn more calories than you take in. So the first thing to do is just take a measurement of yourself. Take a measuring tape, wrap it around, write down those measurements and then weigh yourself. Like I said, try to get your workout in in the morning, get up, knock out your cardio workout, write down whether you’re on a machine, treadmill, whatever, write down your intensity. I recommend you start at maybe like 4, number 4 if you can, and write down you worked out at level 4. And keep track of your heart rate with the heart rate monitor. Keep your heart rate at about 65 to 70% of your maximum heart rate. You’ve got to make sure you maintain there for the 30 or 40 minutes starting out then eventually get yourself up to an hour.\n\nKeep track of how many calories you’re bringing in throughout the day. Try not to go over like 1600 calories a day. And you’ll see the gut go. It’ll just fall off you like diarrhea. But you’ve got to do the cardio, because remember you’ve got to burn, you want to burn the fat. And as you’re burning the fat – it’s like when you put bad gas in the car and you try to drive it out, you don’t want the bad gas back in, so you try to take those calories out which is the fat being stored in your gut. So when you burn it out, you don’t want to put all those calories back in, you don’t want to do that. So like after your workout, maybe have a protein shake or something, or maybe a sandwich or something to kind of curb the appetite so you don’t want to eat a whole big meal after your workout.\n\nI was working out with this girl yesterday, and we had a killer workout. As soon as she got done, the first thing she wanted to do was to feed her face. I said no. So I took her over, we sat down and ate and I said, “look, you look at the menu and tell me what you want to eat. You know, now they have all these nutritional guides at these franchise restaurants that tell you how many calories are in there, right? Well she picked something and I said, “look at the nutritional value of that, how many calories are in it.” It was damn near 2,000 calories. “You just burned close to 1,000 calories working out with me and now you want to put back in 2,000 calories. You tell me what’s wrong with that picture.”\n\nAnd she thought about it, “oh yeah I didn’t even think about it.” I said, “yeah all that Caesar dressing is in that, you need to think about that.” And then you know they bring that bread before the dinner. I said, “you didn’t even think about that either.” You’ve got to constantly be aware of what you’re putting in, especially if you’re trying to make some money burning calories, you know what I mean?\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah, totally.\n\n<strong>HW:</strong> Every little bit adds up, dude. Every little bit adds up. So you’ve got to be aware. Pack your little snacks or you’re going to find yourself going out sneaking and cheating on the stuff that has no nutritional value. I’ve got a bag of carrot sticks in my bag and I pack my own protein shakes.\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Now one last question Harvey, do you think P90X is for everyone? What do you think about the program? Do you think people should start off slower? I’ve got a lot of friends who are into it and tell me I should check it out, but I’ve kind of got to do some baby steps first. What are your thoughts there?\n\n<strong>HW:</strong> Oh yeah, I do like P90X. I have it myself and it’s very powerful. You can start out slow with it, but just move at your own pace. I’ve done it myself before, but it is time consuming. It’s a bit of a workout, but if you want to start out slow, just pace yourself through it. One thing you don’t want to do when you get to workouts like P90X is you don’t want to hurt yourself and then you’re going to be set back, you know what I mean?\n\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right.\n\n<strong>HW:</strong> Don’t try to go all out and kill yourself with it because it’ll put you in a hurt locker, but you can get some good results from it. You can also start out slow, building a base with even doing a round robin like a talked about earlier, you know on the treadmill, elliptical, Stairmaster. 10-15 minutes on each. And do some resistance training where you’re doing a total body, where you do the bench press, the chest press machine, the leg press, the lat pull down, the arm curls, hitting all those big muscles groups so you can build the muscles. When build the muscles when you’re working out and losing fat, your body’s going to always consistently burn calories throughout the day. Even when you’re not working out you can be burning calories, because you’re building the muscle as you’re burning those calories. That’s why I say it’s imperative that you get in five times a week and three times you do the resistance training and build the muscle. Once you build the muscle, I’m telling you man, it’ll work wonders. Your body will be always burning calories. And if you stick with it and you’re really giving it 110%, before you know it, your body will be burning 2,000 calories a day just without you working out. I know my body burns like 500 calories a day without me working out, that’s what my body needs just to survive.\n\n﻿Pretty cool stuff.

His father, Martin Sr., also raced the No. 56 car in the Grand National Division. Truex Jr. began racing when he was 10 years old. During his first race for Michael Waltrip Racing, Truex earned a sixth place finish in the Daytona 500. He has 13 wins, 59 top tens and 10 poles in the NASCAR Nationwide Series and 1 win, 43 top tens and 5 poles in the Sprint Cup Series.  Martin\'s younger brother Ryan Truex competes for Michael Waltrip Racing in the NASCAR K&amp;N Pro Series East. Both brothers competed in a Nationwide Series race at the Charlotte Motor Speedway last month. Ryan finished in 37th place and Martin earned a second place finish.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http://www.mikeiaconelli.com/bio.php\" target=\"_blank\">Mike Iaconelli</a> is ranked as one of the Top 20 Bass Anglers in the World. He hosts the show \"<a href=\"http://www.versus.com/shows/city-limits-fishing-with-mike-iaconelli/\" target=\"_blank\">City Limits Fishing with Mike Iaconelli</a>\" on the VERSUS Network. Iaconelli started fishing at an early age, and he parlayed an early interest in bass fishing into a solid career as a pro angler. Iaconelli was the 2003 Bassmaster Classic Champion, the 2006 Bass Angler of the Year and he earned a 2nd place finish at the 2009 Bassmaster Classic. While earning an Advertising and Public Relations degree from Rowan University, Iaconelli worked as a disc jockey. He collects vinyl records and he\'s known for his trademark scream when he reels in a big fish.\r\n\r\nSo Martin Truex, Jr. met with Mike Iaconelli at the <a href=\"http://www.charlottemotorspeedway.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Charlotte Motor Speedway</a> in order to teach him some pointers about NASCAR driving. Weather conditions didn\'t permit the use of the No. 56 car, so Martin took Mike around the track a couple of times in the Toyota Hybrid Pace Car, which paced the Coke 600 in 2009. After a couple of laps around the track, Martin and Mike switched spots, and the professional angler tried his hand at racing.\r\n\r\nAfter Iaconelli got to experience the fast track at the Charlotte Motor Speedway, it was off to Lake Norman. The weather cleared up and it turned out to be a gorgeous day on the lake. It was a definitely a change of pace from the racetrack as Mike showed Martin some pointers on how to catch bass. The pro bass fisherman caught quite a few before Truex reeled in his first catch.

When your boy, or group of boys wearing your favorite team colors are deemed ineligible, and are subsequently suspended from particular bodies of competition due to...duh, duh, duh...SCANDAL.\r\n\r\nIt\'s hot again. Reggie Bush gave back his Heisman trophy, and now some fella named Kenny Rogers has opened a can of night crawlers and dumped them on Auburn quarterback and Heisman Award hopeful, Cameron \"Cam\" Newton.\r\n\r\nI had to roll with the parenthetical based solely on the fact that the <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowl_Championship_Series\" target=\"_blank\">BCS</a> is to me, a scandalous organization, as is the NCAA. Case in point--the F.B.I. is involved in this latest Cam Newton saga? The F.B.I. Really? MmmMmm. Let\'s dive right in!\r\n<h2><strong>10. Cam Newton - Auburn University</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2747 alignnone\" title=\"CamNewton\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/CamNewton.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"295\" />\r\n\r\nIt has potential to be huge, but it\'s still too fresh. He could be clean; his pops could be dirty. Either way, it\'s looking like Cam Newton might find himself suspended down the line for his dad soliciting funds from Mississippi State University--a team Newton was considering coming out of Jr. College. You are more than likely aware that Newton was once a student athlete at Florida, playing behind Tim Tebow. Yes. In all of this, his <a href=\"http://content.usatoday.com/communities/campusrivalry/post/2010/11/report-cam-newton-left-florida-after-three-charges-of-academic-cheating/1?csp=hf\" target=\"_blank\">less than squeaky clean record</a> has also shown its teeth. Whether any money was exchanged at Auburn...? We won\'t find out for quite some time.\r\n<h2><strong><span style=\"line-height: 19px; font-size: 13px;\"><span style=\"line-height: 28px; font-size: 26px;\">9. Rich Rodriguez - University of Michigan</span></span></strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2748 alignnone\" title=\"RichRod\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/RichRod.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"299\" />\r\n\r\nIt\'s easier to miss the scandalous when a team sucks, or is in a period of rebuilding. Rich-Rod bailed on West Virginia, and came to Michigan to get the show turned around in the Big House. Apparently, he was willing to require overtime...of everyone. Working them beyond what is legal according to the NCAA. The university slapped itself on the wrist.\r\n\r\n<strong><span style=\"line-height: 28px; font-size: 26px;\">8. 2004 Auburn Tigers - Shafted!</span></strong>\r\n\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2750 alignnone\" title=\"ronnie-brown\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ronnie-brown.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"308\" />\r\n\r\nYou probably don\'t remember this one, do ya? The Auburn Tigers went undefeated in SEC play and in their regular season, won the SEC Championship Game vs. Tennessee, and was shafted into a Sugar Bowl match-up vs. a potent Virginia Tech squad. Yep. Oklahoma and USC battled it out for the \"National Championship.\" Heck yes, I\'m a biased SEC fan, but this was criminal. Especially considering that USC thrashed OU in the title game, and that the win has been vacated due to USC\'s own scandal. Stupid Coaches Poll. Stupid AP Poll. Stupid NCAA. Scandalous.\r\n<h2><strong>7. Scooter McDougle - University of Toledo</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2751 alignnone\" title=\"ScooterMcD\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/ScooterMcD.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"309\" />\r\n\r\nThis one can just be filed into the category of strange. Toledo running back, Scooter McDougle was somehow at the center of a point-shaving scheme that involved several other University of Toledo players--players would not play in games due to mysterious injuries, or would play poorly to ensure spreads. The final note has yet to be played in this fiasco.\r\n<h2><strong>6. Bogus Music Class - Florida State University</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2752 alignnone\" title=\"BobbyB\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/BobbyB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"271\" />\r\n\r\nWhen people said Bobby Bowden was \"out of touch,\" perhaps this is what they were eluding to. This happened in 2007, and included 25 student-athletes who admitted to having \"assistance\" on tests and quizzes for a music class. When I say assistance, I mean somebody took the tests for them. I can\'t imagine that anyone got suspicious with so many players taking the same class and scoring similarly? This cost the squad the last really good season that Bobby, and the university, have enjoyed.\r\n<h2><strong>5. Lawrence Phillips - University of Nebraska</strong></h2>\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/ESgPZtcxfkk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/ESgPZtcxfkk?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\nThis dude. Geez. A guy who had it. That thing. Jaw-dropping skills. Unfortunately, he also had some jaw popping skills. After running for 206 yards on 22 carries for 4 touchdowns vs. Michigan State, Phillips returned to Lincoln, NE, with the team and <a href=\"http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_Phillips\" target=\"_blank\">was arrested</a> for assaulting his girlfriend. After being suspended, Phillips played out the season, winning a national championship, then declared for the NFL draft. He had a few NFL highlights, but more problems. In 2009 he was sentenced to 31 years in prison for multiple violent outbreaks, including an incident in which he hit three teenagers with his car after a disagreement in a pick-up football game.\r\n<h2><strong>4. Marcus Dupree - University of Oklahoma</strong></h2>\r\n<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/qg2bHHY3d84?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"400\" height=\"321\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/qg2bHHY3d84?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>\r\nFeatured recently on ESPN\'s 30 for 30, Marcus Dupree was considered by many, \"The best who never was.\" Before signing with Oklahoma, it was necessary to score some goods for the family. Dupree\'s mom wanted a new double-wide mobile home. She got one. In an attempt to secure Dupree for a documentary in the early 80s, a recruiter let the funding team know it would take at least $150,000. Dupree went on to be a Freshman star at Oklahoma. Injuries hampered his sophomore season, and after a handful of games, Dupree announced that he would be leaving the university.\r\n<h2><strong>3. Reggie Bush - University of Southern California</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2753 alignnone\" title=\"Reggie\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Reggie.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"288\" />\r\n\r\nEveryone is familiar with Reggie, and the USC scandal. The scandal that has the Trojans watching the big games from the sidelines every holiday season for the next several years. It all had to do with Reggie, and/or Reggie\'s parents, accepting illegal benefits. We have to presume that somewhere in the mix would there would be some cash involved. Though the university has been punished, and they no longer \"have anything to do with Bush,\" the scandal peaked when Bush returned his Heisman Trophy.\r\n<h2><strong>2. Katie Hnida - University of Colorado</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2754 alignnone\" title=\"KatieH\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/KatieH.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"267\" />\r\n\r\nKatie Hnida? College football scandal? Oh, how soon we forget, and how soon the University of Colorado wants us to forget. Female. Football player. Kicker. Multiple teammates took advantage of Katie, and ultimately tore their entire program apart. Hnida stated that she was harassed, assaulted and eventually raped by her male counterparts.\r\n<h2><strong>1. 1986 SMU Mustangs - The NCAA Death Penalty</strong></h2>\r\n<img class=\"size-full wp-image-2755 alignnone\" title=\"dickersonandjames\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/dickersonandjames.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"225\" />\r\n\r\nSweet mercy. This one still takes the cake. Everyone was seemingly involved in this mess. The Governor of Texas, local and state politicians, coaches and of course, players. At the center of the controversy was the continuation of a \"slush fund\" for players who required some cash, from the mid-70s to the mid-80s. After the university and so many university supporters were found to be dealing in corruption, an NCAA committee voted to cancel the entire 1987 football season, and only allowed SMU to participate in away games in the 1988 season. This nearly destroyed the SMU program. It also led to the death of the Southwest Conference.','Top 10 College Football Scandals ','','inherit','open','open','','2733-revision-16','','','2010-11-16 10:02:36','2010-11-16 18:02:36','',2733,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2733-revision-16/',0,'revision','',0),(2845,2,'2010-11-17 11:51:18','2010-11-17 19:51:18','<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/AXE-Shampoo-Review.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2847\" title=\"AXE Shampoo Review\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/AXE-Shampoo-Review.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"542\" /></a>\r\n\r\nAXE recently sent us some samples of their new shampoos. We tried \'em out. Here\'s what we thought:<strong>\r\n</strong>\r\n<h2><strong> AXE Heat - Igniting Citrus 2 in 1 Shampoo + Conditioner</strong></h2>\r\nSome guys are really into the 2-in-1 shampoo and conditioner action. If you dig soft hair, this stuff will do the trick. The best part about the Heat 2 in 1 is the smell though. It\'s got this warm, caramelized flavor to it that smells like oranges, but isn\'t too pungent. It manages to stay mellow even with the sweetness coming through. It could easily go jolly rancher, but it stays subtle. It works.\r\n<h2><strong>AXE Downpour Refreshing Mint Shampoo</strong></h2>\r\nThis shampoo is great for a good wake-up call. Like when you need to head to the office after a long night of drinking and you need a little kick in the ass during your shower recovery. It\'s like a little minty alarm clock for your dome. The peppermint action is refreshing and brisk, without coming across like a candy cane or a York peppermint patty. In addition to hangover recovery, this shampoo also works well for those times when you\'re extra-filthy and you just wanna get some extra sparkle freshness going before you head out for the day.\r\n<h2><strong>AXE Zen Soothing Tea Tree Shampoo</strong></h2>\r\nThis shampoo option works best for those end-of-the-night, winding down shower times. It\'s like the obligatory green tea ice cream desert after a long and expensive sushi dinner. It\'s a calming, fragrant shampoo that\'s ideal for a shower head massage. When you want to call it a night and prep yourself to pass out, this realxing shampoo will do the trick.\r\n\r\nSo there you have it. These shampoos cost $4.99 a bottle and they\'re good for different things at different times. I don\'t know if they\'ll get you laid, but if you want to mix up your shower routine a bit, try \'em out.

You\'re likely to hook up some people more than others, and if you need an inexpensive holiday gift for someone, don\'t blow your small budget on a useless item. If you only have 10 bucks to spend on your dad, uncle, brother, cousin, son, nephew or any other dude needing an affordable gift, consider the Schick Hydro Holiday Pack at Target.\r\n\r\nThis holiday gift package is available at Target for $10. Yep, just one Alexander Hamilton. It comes in a nice big shiny box, so you won\'t look like a massive cheapskate in front of your family. The box  includes one Schick Hydro razor, five replacement cartridges and a bottle of Schick Hydro Moisturizing Shave Gel.\r\n\r\nThe <a href=\"http://www.schickhydro.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Schick Hydro</a> razor is pretty sweet. It has five blades that have these skin guards that smooth your skin over as you\'re shaving, The hydrating gel reservoir is where it\'s at though. This is the protective strip above the blades that has this gooey combo of Aloe and Vitamin E. I received one of these boxes and I\'ve used the razor a bunch of times. It\'s still gooey without too much gooey. That thing still glides up and down my face after multiple uses. The Moisturizing Shave Gel is one of those extra-blue, super-foaming gel deals where a little gel can go a long way. A tiny amount of blue will end up covering your whole face in foam.\r\n\r\nIt\'s all pretty high tech sounding, but it works. The thing about the Hydro is that you always feel like there\'s a protective layer between your face and the blade. This reduces irritation and razor burn and generally makes for a pretty comfortable shaving experience. Getting someone all this in a $10 package is a nice way to say, \"I couldn\'t spend all that much but hey, at least I got you something that you\'re actually gonna use.\" It\'s the thought that counts, but it\'s the practicality of the gift that\'ll score you extra appreciation points in the long run.','Schick Hydro Target Holiday Gift Pack','','publish','open','open','','schick-hydro-target-holiday-gift-pack','','','2010-11-22 17:47:10','2010-11-23 01:47:10','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=2851',0,'post','',0),(2852,2,'2010-11-17 09:17:18','2010-11-17 17:17:18','','Schick Hydro Target Holiday Pack','','inherit','open','open','','schick-hydro-target-holiday-pack','','','2010-11-17 09:17:18','2010-11-17 17:17:18','',2851,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Schick-Hydro-Target-Holiday-Pack.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(2853,2,'2010-11-17 09:15:47','2010-11-17 17:15:47','Christmas is coming up quick and that means it time to start making a list of all the people you need to get gifts for.

If you dig soft hair, this stuff will do the trick. The best part about the Heat 2 in 1 is the smell though. It\'s got this warm, caramelized flavor to it that smells like oranges, but isn\'t too pungent. It manages to stay mellow even with the sweetness coming through. It could easily go jolly rancher, but it stays subtle. It works.</p>\r\n<h2><strong>AXE Downpour Refreshing Mint Shampoo</strong></h2>\r\n<p>This shampoo is great for a good wake-up call. Like when you need to head to the office after a long night of drinking and you need a little kick in the ass during your shower recovery. It\'s like a little minty alarm clock for your dome. The peppermint action is refreshing and brisk, without coming across like a candy cane or a York peppermint patty. In addition to hangover recovery, this shampoo also works well for those times when you\'re extra-filthy and you just wanna get some extra sparkle freshness going before you head out for the day.</p>\r\n<h2><strong>AXE Zen Soothing Tea Tree Shampoo</strong></h2>\r\n<p>This shampoo option works best for those end-of-the-night, winding down shower times. It\'s like the obligatory green tea ice cream desert after a long and expensive sushi dinner. It\'s a calming, fragrant shampoo that\'s ideal for a shower head massage. When you want to call it a night and prep yourself to pass out, this realxing shampoo will do the trick.</p>\r\n<p>So there you have it. These shampoos cost $4.99 a bottle and they\'re good for different things at different times. I don\'t know if they\'ll get you laid, but if you want to mix up your shower routine a bit, try \'em out.

A putting contest at this year’s Palm Springs Playboy Golf Scramble generated $1,000 for the FIND Food Bank of the Coachella Valley.\r\n\r\nHere are some photos from this year’s event:\r\n\r\n[nggallery id=13 template=carousel images=12]','Palm Springs Playboy Golf Scramble Photos','','inherit','open','open','','2857-revision-5','','','2010-11-17 14:53:21','2010-11-17 22:53:21','',2857,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2857-revision-5/',0,'revision','',0),(2866,2,'2010-11-17 14:57:26','2010-11-17 22:57:26','<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/jBqtQjJqSQw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/jBqtQjJqSQw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','Russia in 15 Seconds','','inherit','open','open','','2840-autosave','','','2010-11-17 14:57:26','2010-11-17 22:57:26','',2840,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2840-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(2867,2,'2010-11-17 14:53:50','2010-11-17 22:53:50','<object classid=\"clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" codebase=\"http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0\"><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\" /><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\" /><param name=\"src\" value=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/jBqtQjJqSQw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" /><param name=\"allowfullscreen\" value=\"true\" /><embed type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" width=\"425\" height=\"344\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/v/jBqtQjJqSQw?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US&amp;rel=0\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\"></embed></object>','Russia in 15 Seconds','','inherit','open','open','','2840-revision-6','','','2010-11-17 14:53:50','2010-11-17 22:53:50','',2840,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2840-revision-6/',0,'revision','',0),(2868,2,'2010-11-18 12:00:28','2010-11-18 20:00:28','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2880\" title=\"Jo_Newman_lead-\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/Jo_Newman_lead-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"283\" />\r\n\r\nA graduate of New York University\'s Tisch School of the Arts, <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2491555/\" target=\"_blank\">Jo Newman</a> is a gorgeous, up-and-coming actress who’s about to make her big screen debut in the upcoming film <a href=\"http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0758752/\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Love and Other Drugs</em></a>, starring Jake Gyllenhaal and Anne Hathaway. Newman has made numerous TV appearances including spots on <em>Gossip Girl</em>, <em>The Sopranos</em> and <em>Law and Order: SUV</em>. I had the chance to speak with Jo about her acting background, TV experiences and her excitement over the November 24<sup>th</sup> release of her first feature film.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So where are you from originally?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I was born in a little hippie town in western Massachusetts and then I was in New York for 8 years and I moved out here in January.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So in your hippie town did you grow up a Patriots fan?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I somehow along the way became an Eagles fan (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> An Eagles fan from Massachusettes? Wait a minute.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Eagles fan.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you said you just came out in January, how does the West Coast compare to the East Coast?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Well, obviously the weather is fantastic\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right, no complaints here.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> It seems like this is absolutely where the concentration of the industry is. You know it was a much more eclectic mix of people in New York. I’m really happy to be here. I feel really motivated. I feel good and encouraged and it feels good. And I just love riding around in a convertible in January.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs) Yeah, that’s awesome. So did you get into modeling before you started doing acting?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> No, I moved to New York when I was 17 and I went to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy which is an acting conservatory. I decided I wanted a much deeper and more thorough education and I got into Tisch at NYU. So I studied Meisner for two years, Shakespeare, Viewpoints with Mary Overly and then I did some television school for the last two years I was there and really got into it. Then my first job after NYU, I think I graduated and a month later I got a spot on <em>The Sopranos</em>. Things were rocking and rolling in New York. I figured after I cast this move, I did some very cool modeling campaigns and then I got a great spot on Law &amp; Order and I figured “okay, time to try L.A.”\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So was it totally awesome being on <em>The Sopranos</em>?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Oh my god, it was <em>so</em> much fun. I was a month out of college, I’m on set and I had a scene where they killed my boyfriend. So I’m wearing this J.Lo type dress – it’s down to my bellybutton – I’m 21 years old and I’m being splattered with blood on everything.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I could not have had a better time, it was awesome.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So how many takes did you have to get splattered?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> A lot. I mean, a lot a lot. I mean those guys were perfectionists. It felt like being on a movie set. I think that was one of the reasons that it took so long to get the seasons out there, because it just took them a long time to shoot it. I probably got blood splattered on me like 25 times.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2873 alignright\" title=\"jo-newman\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/jo-newman.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"273\" />CS:</strong> Oh wow.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> And there’s a guy under the table with a little blood apparatus.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Yea, I had to keep my legs crossed during that scene.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh geez.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So what was your role on Law &amp; Order?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> On Law &amp; Order I got - it was on SVU.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Okay.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I played a girl who works in a copying – like a Kinko’s – shop and she was the last person to see the victim alive. She was a super ditz, and I had hot pink underwear sticking out of my jeans.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> And I got interrogated by Chris Meloni. It was a blast!\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh nice. So is that guy really intense or what?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> He turns it on for the camera and in between takes he’s showing me pictures of his kids on his iPhone. He’s a good actor you know he just … I don’t know if it’s because we all know him as a detective but he’s just shifts into the role so seamlessly. It’s a good acting study for a young person.\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah, I’ve seen him in a couple like stoner movie roles so I can see how he could be the kind of guy to flip the switch and just take on a different persona quick.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Yeah, he has a way of just melting into the words. Everything sounds very, very organic and natural coming from him. It’s pretty cool to be around him, really it is. And with Love &amp; Other Drugs, seeing Hank Azaria do his role I felt like I – I wouldn’t want to say this to any of my professors at NYU – but I felt like I learned just as much watching him do the take six times as I did in a year of college.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh wow. So that’s your big screen debut then coming up.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN</strong>: I know!\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So you’re excited?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> It was a phenomenal experience. I can’t wait to be in another movie. It was so great.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you mentioned the Sopranos had that kind of more of a film set atmosphere compared to other TV work you’ve done. What was it like on the set of Love &amp; Other Drugs?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> First of all, I don’t know if it was because the director is such an approachable and actor friendly director, but there was a real camaraderie on set, everyone was really, really cool. There was no ‘don’t approach anybody.’ I got to hang out with Jake Gyllenhaal a bunch and I got to talk to Hank Azaria. And people are very, very interested in telling the story. It’s really going to be a fun movie. It’s fun, it’s sexy, there’s a lot going on, but it really does touch on some incredibly hot issues right now as far as the healthcare performance goes and the pharmaceutical industry. There’s a lot going on in this romantic comedy.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Now I want to ask you, is Anne Hathaway hot?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> She’s <em>beautiful</em>.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Oh, she’s beautiful and it’s like she doesn’t know she’s a star yet, which hopefully, if I make it big, I’ll be able to maintain that grounding.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> (laughs) And that’s nice to be around, because I’ve been around some people where it’s like hey, guess what, we’re all still human.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah, I won’t ask you to name any names, because I never really get too far when I ask those types of questions. So what are you working on now?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I am producing a TV show and we start on Saturday, so I’m really, really excited. I wrote a pilot, I got incredible production company involved and I did the casting. I am absolutely blown away by the amount of talent that’s willing to work for (laughs) not a lot of cash. We start filming Saturday. It’s called “Greeting From Sunny Beaches” and it’s the behind the scenes dirt of the making of a fictional reality show, but it’s all scripted.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh wow, that sounds like you have a lot of material to run with there.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Oh, it’s going to be so much fun. The characters are fuckin’ insane and there’s just no end to the amount of situations that you can put these people in that are real.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So do you hope to do more producing and writing work in the future? Are you going to keep acting? What are your plans?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I’m going to do it all. I feel definitely in the past couple of years that the auditions that have come over my desk as far as women’s roles are not fleshed out, they’re pretty limited. And I love writing, I studied a lot of writing in college and my Dad writes, and I feel very at home and alive and inspired with a pen in my hand or in front of the computer. And I love acting and I hope – I would love to do all this, do it all you know? I remember reading an interview with Kevin Smith in high school and he said “I never thought I could get anyone to hire me as an actor, so I just started writing my own shit and hiring myself.” And I thought, okay, good call dude.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs) That’s funny. So do redheads have more fun?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Always, and we have a higher pain tolerance.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Mmm hmm.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Now let me ask you this, do you find it offensive…\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> …I’m just going to go ahead and accept that as truth and move right on. Do you find it offensive when people refer to your people as “gingers”?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> No. I think as redheads we’re used to standing out and we’ve got to get used to all nicknames.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Okay.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> And they can be a lot worse than that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah, I guess that’s true.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> I’m sure you’ve heard much worse.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Yeah I think if you’re called “ginger” you get off pretty fuckin’ easy (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs) So best of luck with this new film and everything else in the future and thanks for taking the time to speak with us.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Hey, thank you so much this was really cool. Hopefully next time I’ll be telling you about something even more grand.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> And just make sure to maintain a level head when you become a big star, like you said.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Yeah.

I think that was one of the reasons that it took so long to get the seasons out there, because it just took them a long time to shoot it. I probably got blood splattered on me like 25 times.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh wow.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> And there’s a guy under the table with a little blood apparatus.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Yea, I had to keep my legs crossed during that scene.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh geez.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So what was your role on Law &amp; Order?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> On Law &amp; Order I got - it was on SVU.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Okay.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I played a girl who works in a copying – like a Kinko’s – shop and she was the last person to see the victim alive. She was a super ditz, and I had hot pink underwear sticking out of my jeans.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> And I got interrogated by Chris Meloni. It was a blast!\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh nice. So is that guy really intense or what?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> He turns it on for the camera and in between takes he’s showing me pictures of his kids on his iPhone. He’s a good actor you know he just … I don’t know if it’s because we all know him as a detective but he’s just shifts into the role so seamlessly. It’s a good acting study for a young person.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah, I’ve seen him in a couple like stoner movie roles so I can see how he could be the kind of guy to flip the switch and just take on a different persona quick.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Yeah, he has a way of just melting into the words. Everything sounds very, very organic and natural coming from him. It’s pretty cool to be around him, really it is. And with Love &amp; Other Drugs, seeing Hank Azaria do his role I felt like I – I wouldn’t want to say this to any of my professors at NYU – but I felt like I learned just as much watching him do the take six times as I did in a year of college.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh wow. So that’s your big screen debut then coming up.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN</strong>: I know!\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So you’re excited?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> It was a phenomenal experience. I can’t wait to be in another movie. It was so great.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you mentioned the Sopranos had that kind of more of a film set atmosphere compared to other TV work you’ve done. What was it like on the set of Love &amp; Other Drugs?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> First of all, I don’t know if it was because the director is such an approachable and actor friendly director, but there was a real camaraderie on set, everyone was really, really cool. There was no ‘don’t approach anybody.’ I got to hang out with Jake Gyllenhaal a bunch and I got to talk to Hank Azaria. And people are very, very interested in telling the story. It’s really going to be a fun movie. It’s fun, it’s sexy, there’s a lot going on, but it really does touch on some incredibly hot issues right now as far as the healthcare performance goes and the pharmaceutical industry. There’s a lot going on in this romantic comedy.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Now I want to ask you, is Anne Hathaway hot?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> She’s <em>beautiful</em>.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Oh, she’s beautiful and it’s like she doesn’t know she’s a star yet, which hopefully, if I make it big, I’ll be able to maintain that grounding.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> (laughs) And that’s nice to be around, because I’ve been around some people where it’s like hey, guess what, we’re all still human.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah, I won’t ask you to name any names, because I never really get too far when I ask those types of questions. So what are you working on now?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I am producing a TV show and we start on Saturday, so I’m really, really excited. I wrote a pilot, I got incredible production company involved and I did the casting. I am absolutely blown away by the amount of talent that’s willing to work for (laughs) not a lot of cash. We start filming Saturday. It’s called “Greeting From Sunny Beaches” and it’s the behind the scenes dirt of the making of a fictional reality show, but it’s all scripted.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh wow, that sounds like you have a lot of material to run with there.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Oh, it’s going to be so much fun. The characters are fuckin’ insane and there’s just no end to the amount of situations that you can put these people in that are real.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So do you hope to do more producing and writing work in the future? Are you going to keep acting? What are your plans?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I’m going to do it all. I feel definitely in the past couple of years that the auditions that have come over my desk as far as women’s roles are not fleshed out, they’re pretty limited. And I love writing, I studied a lot of writing in college and my Dad writes, and I feel very at home and alive and inspired with a pen in my hand or in front of the computer. And I love acting and I hope – I would love to do all this, do it all you know? I remember reading an interview with Kevin Smith in high school and he said “I never thought I could get anyone to hire me as an actor, so I just started writing my own shit and hiring myself.” And I thought, okay, good call dude.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs) That’s funny. So do redheads have more fun?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Always, and we have a higher pain tolerance.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Mmm hmm.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Now let me ask you this, do you find it offensive…\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> …I’m just going to go ahead and accept that as truth and move right on. Do you find it offensive when people refer to your people as “gingers”?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> No. I think as redheads we’re used to standing out and we’ve got to get used to all nicknames.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Okay.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> And they can be a lot worse than that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah, I guess that’s true.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> I’m sure you’ve heard much worse.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Yeah I think if you’re called “ginger” you get off pretty fuckin’ easy (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs) So best of luck with this new film and everything else in the future and thanks for taking the time to speak with us.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Hey, thank you so much this was really cool.

Wait a minute.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Eagles fan.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you said you just came out in January, how does the West Coast compare to the East Coast?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Well, obviously the weather is fantastic\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right, no complaints here.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> It seems like this is absolutely where the concentration of the industry is. You know it was a much more eclectic mix of people in New York. I’m really happy to be here. I feel really motivated. I feel good and encouraged and it feels good. And I just love riding around in a convertible in January.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs) Yeah, that’s awesome. So did you get into modeling before you started doing acting?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> No, I moved to New York when I was 17 and I went to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy which is an acting conservatory. I decided I wanted a much deeper and more thorough education and I got into Tisch at NYU. So I studied Meisner for two years, Shakespeare, Viewpoints with Mary Overly and then I did some television school for the last two years I was there and really got into it. Then my first job after NYU, I think I graduated and a month later I got a spot on <em>The Sopranos</em>. Things were rocking and rolling in New York. I figured after I cast this move, I did some very cool modeling campaigns and then I got a great spot on Law &amp; Order and I figured “okay, time to try L.A.”\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So was it totally awesome being on <em>The Sopranos</em>?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Oh my god, it was <em>so</em> much fun. I was a month out of college, I’m on set and I had a scene where they killed my boyfriend.

Wait a minute.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Eagles fan.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you said you just came out in January, how does the West Coast compare to the East Coast?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Well, obviously the weather is fantastic\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Right, no complaints here.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> It seems like this is absolutely where the concentration of the industry is. You know it was a much more eclectic mix of people in New York. I’m really happy to be here. I feel really motivated. I feel good and encouraged and it feels good. And I just love riding around in a convertible in January.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs) Yeah, that’s awesome. So did you get into modeling before you started doing acting?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> No, I moved to New York when I was 17 and I went to the American Musical and Dramatic Academy which is an acting conservatory. I decided I wanted a much deeper and more thorough education and I got into Tisch at NYU. So I studied Meisner for two years, Shakespeare, Viewpoints with Mary Overly and then I did some television school for the last two years I was there and really got into it. Then my first job after NYU, I think I graduated and a month later I got a spot on <em>The Sopranos</em>. Things were rocking and rolling in New York. I figured after I cast this move, I did some very cool modeling campaigns and then I got a great spot on Law &amp; Order and I figured “okay, time to try L.A.”\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So was it totally awesome being on <em>The Sopranos</em>?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Oh my god, it was <em>so</em> much fun. I was a month out of college, I’m on set and I had a scene where they killed my boyfriend. So I’m wearing this J.Lo type dress – it’s down to my bellybutton – I’m 21 years old and I’m being splattered with blood on everything.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I could not have had a better time, it was awesome.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So how many takes did you have to get splattered?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> A lot. I mean, a lot a lot. I mean those guys were perfectionists. It felt like being on a movie set. I think that was one of the reasons that it took so long to get the seasons out there, because it just took them a long time to shoot it. I probably got blood splattered on me like 25 times.\r\n\r\n<strong><img class=\"size-full wp-image-2873 alignright\" title=\"jo-newman\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/jo-newman.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"299\" height=\"273\" />CS:</strong> Oh wow.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> And there’s a guy under the table with a little blood apparatus.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Yea, I had to keep my legs crossed during that scene.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh geez.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So what was your role on Law &amp; Order?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> On Law &amp; Order I got - it was on SVU.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Okay.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I played a girl who works in a copying – like a Kinko’s – shop and she was the last person to see the victim alive. She was a super ditz, and I had hot pink underwear sticking out of my jeans.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> And I got interrogated by Chris Meloni. It was a blast!\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh nice. So is that guy really intense or what?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> He turns it on for the camera and in between takes he’s showing me pictures of his kids on his iPhone. He’s a good actor you know he just … I don’t know if it’s because we all know him as a detective but he’s just shifts into the role so seamlessly. It’s a good acting study for a young person.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah, I’ve seen him in a couple like stoner movie roles so I can see how he could be the kind of guy to flip the switch and just take on a different persona quick.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Yeah, he has a way of just melting into the words. Everything sounds very, very organic and natural coming from him. It’s pretty cool to be around him, really it is. And with Love &amp; Other Drugs, seeing Hank Azaria do his role I felt like I – I wouldn’t want to say this to any of my professors at NYU – but I felt like I learned just as much watching him do the take six times as I did in a year of college.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh wow. So that’s your big screen debut then coming up.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN</strong>: I know!\r\n\r\n<strong>CS</strong>: So you’re excited?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> It was a phenomenal experience. I can’t wait to be in another movie. It was so great.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So you mentioned the Sopranos had that kind of more of a film set atmosphere compared to other TV work you’ve done. What was it like on the set of Love &amp; Other Drugs?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> First of all, I don’t know if it was because the director is such an approachable and actor friendly director, but there was a real camaraderie on set, everyone was really, really cool. There was no ‘don’t approach anybody.’ I got to hang out with Jake Gyllenhaal a bunch and I got to talk to Hank Azaria. And people are very, very interested in telling the story. It’s really going to be a fun movie. It’s fun, it’s sexy, there’s a lot going on, but it really does touch on some incredibly hot issues right now as far as the healthcare performance goes and the pharmaceutical industry. There’s a lot going on in this romantic comedy.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Now I want to ask you, is Anne Hathaway hot?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> She’s <em>beautiful</em>.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Oh, she’s beautiful and it’s like she doesn’t know she’s a star yet, which hopefully, if I make it big, I’ll be able to maintain that grounding.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> (laughs) And that’s nice to be around, because I’ve been around some people where it’s like hey, guess what, we’re all still human.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah, I won’t ask you to name any names, because I never really get too far when I ask those types of questions. So what are you working on now?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I am producing a TV show and we start on Saturday, so I’m really, really excited. I wrote a pilot, I got incredible production company involved and I did the casting. I am absolutely blown away by the amount of talent that’s willing to work for (laughs) not a lot of cash. We start filming Saturday. It’s called “Greeting From Sunny Beaches” and it’s the behind the scenes dirt of the making of a fictional reality show, but it’s all scripted.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Oh wow, that sounds like you have a lot of material to run with there.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Oh, it’s going to be so much fun. The characters are fuckin’ insane and there’s just no end to the amount of situations that you can put these people in that are real.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> So do you hope to do more producing and writing work in the future? Are you going to keep acting? What are your plans?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> I’m going to do it all. I feel definitely in the past couple of years that the auditions that have come over my desk as far as women’s roles are not fleshed out, they’re pretty limited. And I love writing, I studied a lot of writing in college and my Dad writes, and I feel very at home and alive and inspired with a pen in my hand or in front of the computer. And I love acting and I hope – I would love to do all this, do it all you know? I remember reading an interview with Kevin Smith in high school and he said “I never thought I could get anyone to hire me as an actor, so I just started writing my own shit and hiring myself.” And I thought, okay, good call dude.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs) That’s funny. So do redheads have more fun?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Always, and we have a higher pain tolerance.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Really?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Mmm hmm.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Now let me ask you this, do you find it offensive…\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> …I’m just going to go ahead and accept that as truth and move right on. Do you find it offensive when people refer to your people as “gingers”?\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> No. I think as redheads we’re used to standing out and we’ve got to get used to all nicknames.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Okay.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> And they can be a lot worse than that.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> Yeah, I guess that’s true.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> I’m sure you’ve heard much worse.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Yeah I think if you’re called “ginger” you get off pretty fuckin’ easy (laughs)\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> (laughs) So best of luck with this new film and everything else in the future and thanks for taking the time to speak with us.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Hey, thank you so much this was really cool. Hopefully next time I’ll be telling you about something even more grand.\r\n\r\n<strong>CS:</strong> And just make sure to maintain a level head when you become a big star, like you said.\r\n\r\n<strong>JN:</strong> Yeah.
