Let’s take gender equality for example. It’s not really something you talk about on the regular, but when the women’s basketball team at UConn tries to break the all-time NCAA basketball winning streak, the issue becomes a source for water cooler conversation all week. Sports allows us to talk about bigger issues in totally detached, relaxed and conversational way. Under the umbrella of athletic competition, no topic is off limits. Everything – culture, identity, values, etc. – can be folded in.\r\n\r\nThat’s why the Ines Sainz/Jets story took on such a life of its own. Sexism and exploitation are interesting topics, but they become much more discussable when wrapped in the easy-going blanket of sports talk.\r\n\r\nI’m sure you’ve heard about what happened when TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz visited a Jets practice back in September. Stories came out that this stunning reporter was subjected to all kinds of disrespectful behavior by the Jets players (and other members of the organization). Balls were thrown her way on the practice field so that players could try to bump into her. There was some lewd behavior reported in the locker room when Sainz was trying to interview QB Mark Sanchez.\r\n\r\nSainz was embarrassed and tweeted about it. Fellow reporters were offended and jumped to her defense. The Association for Women in Sports Media stepped in and filed a complaint with the Jets and the NFL. The story blew up, and Sainz even appeared on Good Morning America to talk about it.\r\n\r\nAfter the story reached critical mass, two opinion camps formed. One camp saw Sainz as a victim of sexual harassment, in the workplace no less. Here’s a woman with an established career as a professional sports journalist who was mistreated by a bunch of chauvinistic, sophomoric football players. Her rights needed to be defended, and the culture of pro football players, with respect to their treatment of women reporters, needed to be changed dramatically.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3268\" title=\"SAINZ-INES-JEANS\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SAINZ-INES-JEANS-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"195\" height=\"274\" />The other camp saw Sainz as an opportunist. A sexy bombshell who used her good looks and attention-hunger to exploit a situation for her own gain. I mean what sort of treatment did she expect wearing jeans that tight?\r\n\r\nAfter speaking with Sainz, I believe that there’s a lot of gray area to explore between these two opinion camps. Ines Sainz is a lot of things. She’s a wife, a mother, an international sports personality and a former Miss Spain. Sainz’s journalistic approach may be a bit cheeky, but she’s not just some bimbo journo. She’s articulate, engaging and experienced. Sainz has interviewed over 300 athletes in her career, guys like Peyton Manning and Lionel Messi, Roger Federer and Jerry Rice. She’s covered all kinds of sports events from around the world. Super Bowls, top tennis matches, multiple World Cups. Stuff like that.\r\n\r\nIs she gorgeous? Unquestionably yes. Is she a victim of sexual harassment? She’ll be the first one to tell you no. When I asked her if she felt mistreated by the Jets players that day at practice, this is what she said:\r\n\r\n“No, I didn’t feel like they were not treating me well. I went there, I did my job. I had the chance to make my interview when I arrived at the locker room. Evidently, the moment [in the locker room] wasn’t the best. But it wasn’t  as rude as people think because – as I said many times – I just hear things like ‘Senorita Bonita’ or ‘I want to be Mexican’ or something like that. Probably, Latin women, we are kind of used to men that say something nice to us. But it wasn’t anything offensive or sexual even. I think that it’s lean, the line that you can cross between being nice and always friendly and, I don’t know, cat calls I think they call it. So I truly believe that in this particular moment, it wasn’t a bad thing. Everything was not with the intention to disturb me,” she said.\r\n\r\nOne woman’s compliment is another woman’s sexual harassment. So was it all an overreaction?\r\n\r\n“At first I thought it was an overreaction,” she said, “because I didn’t hear anything.  So I believe it’s not as bad as people think. But then I believe the Association for Women in Sports Media decided to use it as an opportunity to play for the rights of women. So okay, if that’s the way they have to make their move, okay.”\r\n\r\nThere’s no questioning the fact that the whole ordeal created tons of publicity opportunities (both positive and negative) for everyone involved.  The Association for Women in Sports Media jumped at the chance to promote equality and respect for female sports journalists. Additional opportunities were created for Sainz as well.\r\n\r\nInitially, the situation had a negative impact on Sainz’s image.\r\n\r\n“At first, it really damaged my image, because in Mexico, I’m really well known. I’m a serious sports reporter. So suddenly, it’s like what is Ines doing in this situation and what happened? And the people really don’t know. I missed one very big contract with a bank in Mexico that I was the spokesperson for. It was terrible for me. It’s like why? I didn’t do anything, and suddenly they end my contract,” she said.\r\n\r\nBut Sainz is no fool. She knows that the publicity surrounding the Jets incident was also hugely beneficial. In addition to being hired on by Top Tank to cover the Pacquiao/Margarito fight, the attention Sainz received has also opened other doors in the States. Balancing the good with the bad, Sainz certainly ended up with a positive career lift.\r\n\r\n“It’s great, because obviously I start to have chances to do my work here in the States. If you talk about balance, probably the balanced is worse. But I think if I have the chance and the opportunity to show my work here, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a very good thing,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nThis may just be the beginning for Sainz.\r\n\r\n“As far as talking about to have my own show here in the States I think it’s a great opportunity right now to do a lot of things and I’m very excited about it,” she said.\r\n\r\nAfter the Jets episode, a lot of players spoke out about how female sports reporters (especially gorgeous ones) don’t really belong in NFL locker rooms. Sainz was quick to point out that the level of female beauty shouldn’t make a difference.\r\n\r\n“You can’t put a cap on a woman and say “oh she’s beautiful, she can’t; she is not beautiful, she can do it,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nSainz also pointed out that the players who spoke out against having women reporters in the locker room actually make a good argument.\r\n“So I think that the problem is that they deserve a little respect in the intimacy of the locker room,” she said. “It’s very invasive to go to the locker room. I truly believe that they have the right to say that. In Mexico we’d never do that, we’d never go into the locker room, so I think it’s only a practice here in the States. I know that it’s a right that the women have and they demand 20 years ago, but I think it’s not a bad idea to think about another option to get the interviews. It’s better for everyone.”\r\n\r\nSainz also suggested that a zone be set up just outside of the locker room to provide equal access to players before or after they hit the showers.\r\n\r\nThat’s a damn good point. Women reporters want equal access, and that means locker room access. But what if a male sports reporter demanded access to the UConn women’s basketball team locker room? It would be ridiculous. It just doesn’t work both ways. At some point, the gender equality thing breaks down. There are clear differences between the sexes, like it or not.\r\n\r\nLocker rooms are not places for equal opportunity. They’re stinky, testosterone-packed places where dudes act like dudes, often with their junk hanging out. If male reporters aren’t allowed in female locker rooms, then female reporters shouldn’t be allowed in male locker rooms either.\r\n\r\nSo the whole locker room stuff aside, was there a deeper, cultural dynamic at play? Are people in Mexico and Latin America just more comfortable with female sexuality than us squares here in the States?\r\n\r\n“Probably in Latin America we are a little more used to that, that a man can say something nice to us, but not as a sexual thing. So like, ‘oh you’re pretty,’ or something like that. I don’t think that women can be sad about that. I don’t know, I think here in the States, everything is a little more formal, a little more… I don’t know, more different. It’s just different. But not exactly as you say in a sexual way,” Sainz told me.\r\n\r\n“I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be an attractive woman. I think that all the women in the world want to be as attractive as they can be.”\r\n\r\nSainz went on to explain that she works on television, and with broadcast journalism, whether it’s in Latin America or here in the States, trying to be attractive is part of the game.\r\n\r\nAnd she’s right. Women want to be attractive, and attractive women shouldn’t have to hide their attractiveness in order to do their jobs. Even in the male-dominated world of sports journalism.\r\n\r\nSainz also had some sound advice for women who are considering careers in sports journalism.\r\n\r\n“I would say that the most important thing that you can have is credibility,” Sainz said. “If you want to be a sports reporter, you need to love the sport. You need to feel a passion for sports, because if not, the people are not going to believe in you.”\r\n\r\nLooks help, sure, but all that beauty stuff is secondary.\r\n\r\n“In a way, if they can be a good looking girl, bravo. That’s a plus for you. But it’s only a plus, a compliment, not the first or main important thing,” she said.\r\n\r\nWith this whole Jets thing, Sainz wasn’t a victim, but she wasn’t a perpetrator either. She didn’t wield her sex appeal like a weapon, but she didn’t hide it. Why should she?\r\n\r\nSainz wasn’t taken advantage of that day at Jets practice, but she did take advantage of the situation. Why shouldn’t she? She’s got the credibility and the bonus-points looks. She didn’t create the controversy, but she didn’t back away from it either.\r\n\r\nWhen publicity opportunities present themselves, people are going to take advantage of them. The  Association for Women in Sports Media used the opportunity to promote gender equality and respect. Sainz took the opportunity to further her career. The NFL took the opportunity to educate players on sexual harassment of journalists.\r\n\r\nThe Jets players recently went through sensitivity training that I’m sure prompted more eye-rolling than any real changes of heart. Sainz agreed with me on that point.\r\n\r\n“I think it’s going to do something good for the education, but as you say, it’s not like within two weeks they’re all going to be educated. I think that it’s very cultural. They probably need to see that it’s a good idea not to have this kind of interview [in the locker room]. And also, I know that most of the players are very well educated and don’t have any problems so … I don’t know. I just know that the NFL decided after my episode with the Jets that they need to make a special educational training for all the teams in the NFL. So okay, if the NFL says so, okay, I agree with that,” she said.\r\n\r\nWe all know that it won’t do a damn thing. Men act like fools in the locker room and they act like fools around gorgeous women. It’s just what we do. There’s no place for sexual harassment anywhere, but if the NFL wants to take steps to prevent harassment, they should listen to Sainz and create opportunities for female reporters to interact with players after they’ve had a chance to put their pants on.','Ines Sainz Interview','','inherit','open','open','','3266-revision-7','','','2010-12-22 10:29:07','2010-12-22 18:29:07','',3266,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/3266-revision-7/',0,'revision','',0),(3276,2,'2010-12-22 10:29:26','2010-12-22 18:29:26','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3267\" title=\"ines-sainz\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines-sainz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"283\" />\r\n\r\nIt’s funny how sports lets us talk about cultural themes that we don’t normally discuss in everyday conversation.

In addition to being hired on by Top Tank to cover the Pacquiao/Margarito fight, the attention Sainz received has also opened other doors in the States. Balancing the good with the bad, Sainz certainly ended up with a positive career lift.\r\n\r\n“It’s great, because obviously I start to have chances to do my work here in the States. If you talk about balance, probably the balanced is worse. But I think if I have the chance and the opportunity to show my work here, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a very good thing,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nThis may just be the beginning for Sainz.\r\n\r\n“As far as talking about to have my own show here in the States I think it’s a great opportunity right now to do a lot of things and I’m very excited about it,” she said.\r\n\r\nAfter the Jets episode, a lot of players spoke out about how female sports reporters (especially gorgeous ones) don’t really belong in NFL locker rooms. Sainz was quick to point out that the level of female beauty shouldn’t make a difference.\r\n\r\n“You can’t put a cap on a woman and say “oh she’s beautiful, she can’t; she is not beautiful, she can do it,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nSainz also pointed out that the players who spoke out against having women reporters in the locker room actually make a good argument.\r\n“So I think that the problem is that they deserve a little respect in the intimacy of the locker room,” she said. “It’s very invasive to go to the locker room. I truly believe that they have the right to say that. In Mexico we’d never do that, we’d never go into the locker room, so I think it’s only a practice here in the States. I know that it’s a right that the women have and they demand 20 years ago, but I think it’s not a bad idea to think about another option to get the interviews. It’s better for everyone.”\r\n\r\nSainz also suggested that a zone be set up just outside of the locker room to provide equal access to players before or after they hit the showers.\r\n\r\nThat’s a damn good point. Women reporters want equal access, and that means locker room access. But what if a male sports reporter demanded access to the UConn women’s basketball team locker room? It would be ridiculous. It just doesn’t work both ways. At some point, the gender equality thing breaks down. There are clear differences between the sexes, like it or not.\r\n\r\nLocker rooms are not places for equal opportunity. They’re stinky, testosterone-packed places where dudes act like dudes, often with their junk hanging out. If male reporters aren’t allowed in female locker rooms, then female reporters shouldn’t be allowed in male locker rooms either.\r\n\r\nSo the whole locker room stuff aside, was there a deeper, cultural dynamic at play? Are people in Mexico and Latin America just more comfortable with female sexuality than us squares here in the States?\r\n\r\n“Probably in Latin America we are a little more used to that, that a man can say something nice to us, but not as a sexual thing. So like, ‘oh you’re pretty,’ or something like that. I don’t think that women can be sad about that. I don’t know, I think here in the States, everything is a little more formal, a little more… I don’t know, more different. It’s just different. But not exactly as you say in a sexual way,” Sainz told me.\r\n\r\n“I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be an attractive woman. I think that all the women in the world want to be as attractive as they can be.”\r\n\r\nSainz went on to explain that she works on television, and with broadcast journalism, whether it’s in Latin America or here in the States, trying to be attractive is part of the game.\r\n\r\nAnd she’s right. Women want to be attractive, and attractive women shouldn’t have to hide their attractiveness in order to do their jobs. Even in the male-dominated world of sports journalism.\r\n\r\nSainz also had some sound advice for women who are considering careers in sports journalism.\r\n\r\n“I would say that the most important thing that you can have is credibility,” Sainz said. “If you want to be a sports reporter, you need to love the sport. You need to feel a passion for sports, because if not, the people are not going to believe in you.”\r\n\r\nLooks help, sure, but all that beauty stuff is secondary.\r\n\r\n“In a way, if they can be a good looking girl, bravo. That’s a plus for you. But it’s only a plus, a compliment, not the first or main important thing,” she said.\r\n\r\nWith this whole Jets thing, Sainz wasn’t a victim, but she wasn’t a perpetrator either. She didn’t wield her sex appeal like a weapon, but she didn’t hide it. Why should she?\r\n\r\nSainz wasn’t taken advantage of that day at Jets practice, but she did take advantage of the situation. Why shouldn’t she? She’s got the credibility and the bonus-points looks. She didn’t create the controversy, but she didn’t back away from it either.\r\n\r\nWhen publicity opportunities present themselves, people are going to take advantage of them. The  Association for Women in Sports Media used the opportunity to promote gender equality and respect. Sainz took the opportunity to further her career. The NFL took the opportunity to educate players on sexual harassment of journalists.\r\n\r\nThe Jets players recently went through sensitivity training that I’m sure prompted more eye-rolling than any real changes of heart. Sainz agreed with me on that point.\r\n\r\n“I think it’s going to do something good for the education, but as you say, it’s not like within two weeks they’re all going to be educated. I think that it’s very cultural. They probably need to see that it’s a good idea not to have this kind of interview [in the locker room]. And also, I know that most of the players are very well educated and don’t have any problems so … I don’t know. I just know that the NFL decided after my episode with the Jets that they need to make a special educational training for all the teams in the NFL. So okay, if the NFL says so, okay, I agree with that,” she said.\r\n\r\nWe all know that it won’t do a damn thing. Men act like fools in the locker room and they act like fools around gorgeous women. It’s just what we do. There’s no place for sexual harassment anywhere, but if the NFL wants to take steps to prevent harassment, they should listen to Sainz and create opportunities for female reporters to interact with players after they’ve had a chance to put their pants on.','Ines Sainz Interview','','inherit','open','open','','3266-revision-9','','','2010-12-22 10:29:31','2010-12-22 18:29:31','',3266,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/3266-revision-9/',0,'revision','',0),(3278,2,'2010-12-22 10:31:40','2010-12-22 18:31:40','','ines','','inherit','open','open','','ines','','','2010-12-22 10:31:40','2010-12-22 18:31:40','',3266,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(3279,2,'2010-12-22 10:49:33','2010-12-22 18:49:33','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3267\" title=\"ines-sainz\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines-sainz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"283\" />\n\nIt’s funny how sports lets us talk about cultural themes that we don’t normally discuss in everyday conversation.  Let’s take gender equality for example. It’s not really something you talk about on the regular, but when the women’s basketball team at UConn tries to break the all-time NCAA basketball winning streak, the issue becomes a source for water cooler conversation all week. Sports allows us to talk about bigger issues in totally detached, relaxed and conversational way. Under the umbrella of athletic competition, no topic is off limits. Everything – culture, identity, values, etc. – can be folded in.\n\nThat’s why the Ines Sainz/Jets story took on such a life of its own. Sexism and exploitation are interesting topics, but they become much more discussable when wrapped in the easy-going blanket of sports talk.\n\nI’m sure you’ve heard about what happened when TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz visited a Jets practice back in September. Stories came out that this stunning reporter was subjected to all kinds of disrespectful behavior by the Jets players (and other members of the organization). Balls were thrown her way on the practice field so that players could try to bump into her. There was some lewd behavior reported in the locker room when Sainz was trying to interview QB Mark Sanchez.\n\nSainz was <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/13/reporter-sends-mixed-messages-about-conduct-at-jets-practice/\" target=\"_blank\">embarrassed and tweeted about it</a>. Fellow reporters were offended and jumped to her defense. The Association for Women in Sports Media stepped in and filed a complaint with the Jets and the NFL. The story blew up, and Sainz even appeared on <a href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/nfl-sideline-reporter-ines-sainz-harassed-jets-11631727\" target=\"_blank\">Good Morning America</a> to talk about it.\n\nAfter the story reached critical mass, two opinion camps formed. One camp saw Sainz as a victim of sexual harassment, in the workplace no less. Here’s a woman with an established career as a professional sports journalist who was mistreated by a bunch of chauvinistic, sophomoric football players. Her rights needed to be defended, and the culture of pro football players, with respect to their treatment of women reporters, needed to be changed dramatically.\n\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3268\" title=\"SAINZ-INES-JEANS\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SAINZ-INES-JEANS-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"258\" />The other camp saw Sainz as an opportunist. A sexy bombshell who used her good looks and attention-hunger to exploit a situation for her own gain. I mean what sort of treatment did she expect wearing jeans that tight?\n\nAfter speaking with Sainz, I believe that there’s a lot of gray area to explore between these two opinion camps. Ines Sainz is a lot of things. She’s a wife, a mother, an international sports personality and a former Miss Spain. Sainz’s journalistic approach may be a bit cheeky, but she’s not just some bimbo journo. She’s articulate, engaging and experienced. Sainz has interviewed over 300 athletes in her career, guys like Peyton Manning and Lionel Messi, Roger Federer and Jerry Rice. She’s covered all kinds of sports events from around the world. Super Bowls, top tennis matches, multiple World Cups. Stuff like that.\n\nIs she gorgeous? Unquestionably yes. Is she a victim of sexual harassment? She’ll be the first one to tell you no. When I asked her if she felt mistreated by the Jets players that day at practice, this is what she said:\n\n“No, I didn’t feel like they were not treating me well. I went there, I did my job. I had the chance to make my interview when I arrived at the locker room. Evidently, the moment [in the locker room] wasn’t the best. But it wasn’t  as rude as people think because – as I said many times – I just hear things like ‘Senorita Bonita’ or ‘I want to be Mexican’ or something like that. Probably, Latin women, we are kind of used to men that say something nice to us. But it wasn’t anything offensive or sexual even. I think that it’s lean, the line that you can cross between being nice and always friendly and, I don’t know, cat calls I think they call it. So I truly believe that in this particular moment, it wasn’t a bad thing. Everything was not with the intention to disturb me,” she said.\n\nOne woman’s compliment is another woman’s sexual harassment. So was it all an overreaction?\n\n“At first I thought it was an overreaction,” she said, “because I didn’t hear anything.  So I believe it’s not as bad as people think. But then I believe the Association for Women in Sports Media decided to use it as an opportunity to play for the rights of women. So okay, if that’s the way they have to make their move, okay.”\n\nThere’s no questioning the fact that the whole ordeal created tons of publicity opportunities (both positive and negative) for everyone involved.  The Association for Women in Sports Media jumped at the chance to promote equality and respect for female sports journalists. Additional opportunities were created for Sainz as well.\n\nInitially, the situation had a negative impact on Sainz’s image.\n\n“At first, it really damaged my image, because in Mexico, I’m really well known. I’m a serious sports reporter. So suddenly, it’s like what is Ines doing in this situation and what happened? And the people really don’t know. I missed one very big contract with a bank in Mexico that I was the spokesperson for. It was terrible for me. It’s like why? I didn’t do anything, and suddenly they end my contract,” she said.\n\nBut Sainz is no fool. She knows that the publicity surrounding the Jets incident was also hugely beneficial.

Women want to be attractive, and attractive women shouldn’t have to hide their attractiveness in order to do their jobs. Even in the male-dominated world of sports journalism.\r\n\r\nSainz also had some sound advice for women who are considering careers in sports journalism.\r\n\r\n“I would say that the most important thing that you can have is credibility,” Sainz said. “If you want to be a sports reporter, you need to love the sport. You need to feel a passion for sports, because if not, the people are not going to believe in you.”\r\n\r\nLooks help, sure, but all that beauty stuff is secondary.\r\n\r\n“In a way, if they can be a good looking girl, bravo. That’s a plus for you. But it’s only a plus, a compliment, not the first or main important thing,” she said.\r\n\r\nWith this whole Jets thing, Sainz wasn’t a victim, but she wasn’t a perpetrator either. She didn’t wield her sex appeal like a weapon, but she didn’t hide it. Why should she?\r\n\r\nSainz wasn’t taken advantage of that day at Jets practice, but she did take advantage of the situation. Why shouldn’t she? She’s got the credibility and the bonus-points looks. She didn’t create the controversy, but she didn’t back away from it either.\r\n\r\nWhen publicity opportunities present themselves, people are going to take advantage of them. The  Association for Women in Sports Media used the opportunity to promote gender equality and respect. Sainz took the opportunity to further her career. The NFL took the opportunity to educate players on sexual harassment of journalists.\r\n\r\nThe Jets players recently went through sensitivity training that I’m sure prompted more eye-rolling than any real changes of heart. Sainz agreed with me on that point.\r\n\r\n“I think it’s going to do something good for the education, but as you say, it’s not like within two weeks they’re all going to be educated. I think that it’s very cultural. They probably need to see that it’s a good idea not to have this kind of interview [in the locker room]. And also, I know that most of the players are very well educated and don’t have any problems so … I don’t know. I just know that the NFL decided after my episode with the Jets that they need to make a special educational training for all the teams in the NFL. So okay, if the NFL says so, okay, I agree with that,” she said.\r\n\r\nWe all know that it won’t do a damn thing. Men act like fools in the locker room and they act like fools around gorgeous women. It’s just what we do. There’s no place for sexual harassment anywhere, but if the NFL wants to take steps to prevent harassment, they should listen to Sainz and create opportunities for female reporters to interact with players after they’ve had a chance to put their pants on.','Ines Sainz Interview','','inherit','open','open','','3266-revision-11','','','2010-12-22 10:49:56','2010-12-22 18:49:56','',3266,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/3266-revision-11/',0,'revision','',0),(3281,2,'2010-12-22 10:50:00','2010-12-22 18:50:00','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3267\" title=\"ines-sainz\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines-sainz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"283\" />\r\n\r\nIt’s funny how sports lets us talk about cultural themes that we don’t normally discuss in everyday conversation.  Let’s take gender equality for example. It’s not really something you talk about on the regular, but when the women’s basketball team at UConn tries to break the all-time NCAA basketball winning streak, the issue becomes a source for water cooler conversation all week. Sports allows us to talk about bigger issues in totally detached, relaxed and conversational way. Under the umbrella of athletic competition, no topic is off limits. Everything – culture, identity, values, etc. – can be folded in.\r\n\r\nThat’s why the Ines Sainz/Jets story took on such a life of its own. Sexism and exploitation are interesting topics, but they become much more discussable when wrapped in the easy-going blanket of sports talk.\r\n\r\nI’m sure you’ve heard about what happened when TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz visited a Jets practice back in September. Stories came out that this stunning reporter was subjected to all kinds of disrespectful behavior by the Jets players (and other members of the organization). Balls were thrown her way on the practice field so that players could try to bump into her. There was some lewd behavior reported in the locker room when Sainz was trying to interview QB Mark Sanchez.\r\n\r\nSainz was <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/13/reporter-sends-mixed-messages-about-conduct-at-jets-practice/\" target=\"_blank\">embarrassed and tweeted about it</a>. Fellow reporters were offended and jumped to her defense. The Association for Women in Sports Media stepped in and filed a complaint with the Jets and the NFL. The story blew up, and Sainz even appeared on <a href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/nfl-sideline-reporter-ines-sainz-harassed-jets-11631727\" target=\"_blank\">Good Morning America</a> to talk about it.\r\n\r\nAfter the story reached critical mass, two opinion camps formed. One camp saw Sainz as a victim of sexual harassment, in the workplace no less. Here’s a woman with an established career as a professional sports journalist who was mistreated by a bunch of chauvinistic, sophomoric football players. Her rights needed to be defended, and the culture of pro football players, with respect to their treatment of women reporters, needed to be changed dramatically.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3268\" title=\"SAINZ-INES-JEANS\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SAINZ-INES-JEANS-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"258\" />The other camp saw Sainz as an opportunist. A sexy bombshell who used her good looks and attention-hunger to exploit a situation for her own gain. I mean what sort of treatment did she expect wearing jeans that tight?\r\n\r\nAfter speaking with Sainz, I believe that there’s a lot of gray area to explore between these two opinion camps. Ines Sainz is a lot of things. She’s a wife, a mother, an international sports personality and a former Miss Spain. Sainz’s <a href=\"http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2010/09/ines-sainz-terrell-owens-cowboys-to/1\" target=\"_blank\">journalistic approach may be a bit cheeky</a>, but she’s not just some bimbo journo. She’s articulate, engaging and experienced. Sainz has interviewed over 300 athletes in her career, guys like Peyton Manning and Lionel Messi, Roger Federer and Jerry Rice. She’s covered all kinds of sports events from around the world. Super Bowls, top tennis matches, multiple World Cups. Stuff like that.\r\n\r\nIs she gorgeous? Unquestionably yes. Is she a victim of sexual harassment? She’ll be the first one to tell you no. When I asked her if she felt mistreated by the Jets players that day at practice, this is what she said:\r\n\r\n“No, I didn’t feel like they were not treating me well. I went there, I did my job. I had the chance to make my interview when I arrived at the locker room. Evidently, the moment [in the locker room] wasn’t the best. But it wasn’t  as rude as people think because – as I said many times – I just hear things like ‘Senorita Bonita’ or ‘I want to be Mexican’ or something like that. Probably, Latin women, we are kind of used to men that say something nice to us. But it wasn’t anything offensive or sexual even. I think that it’s lean, the line that you can cross between being nice and always friendly and, I don’t know, cat calls I think they call it. So I truly believe that in this particular moment, it wasn’t a bad thing. Everything was not with the intention to disturb me,” she said.\r\n\r\nOne woman’s compliment is another woman’s sexual harassment. So was it all an overreaction?\r\n\r\n“At first I thought it was an overreaction,” she said, “because I didn’t hear anything.  So I believe it’s not as bad as people think. But then I believe the Association for Women in Sports Media decided to use it as an opportunity to play for the rights of women. So okay, if that’s the way they have to make their move, okay.”\r\n\r\nThere’s no questioning the fact that the whole ordeal created tons of publicity opportunities (both positive and negative) for everyone involved.  The Association for Women in Sports Media jumped at the chance to promote equality and respect for female sports journalists. Additional opportunities were created for Sainz as well.\r\n\r\nInitially, the situation had a negative impact on Sainz’s image.\r\n\r\n“At first, it really damaged my image, because in Mexico, I’m really well known. I’m a serious sports reporter. So suddenly, it’s like what is Ines doing in this situation and what happened? And the people really don’t know. I missed one very big contract with a bank in Mexico that I was the spokesperson for. It was terrible for me. It’s like why? I didn’t do anything, and suddenly they end my contract,” she said.\r\n\r\nBut Sainz is no fool. She knows that the publicity surrounding the Jets incident was also hugely beneficial. In addition to being hired on by Top Tank to cover the Pacquiao/Margarito fight, the attention Sainz received has also opened other doors in the States. Balancing the good with the bad, Sainz certainly ended up with a positive career lift.\r\n\r\n“It’s great, because obviously I start to have chances to do my work here in the States. If you talk about balance, probably the balanced is worse. But I think if I have the chance and the opportunity to show my work here, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a very good thing,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nThis may just be the beginning for Sainz.\r\n\r\n“As far as talking about to have my own show here in the States I think it’s a great opportunity right now to do a lot of things and I’m very excited about it,” she said.\r\n\r\nAfter the Jets episode, a lot of players <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/16/lance-briggs-says-women-shouldnt-be-in-locker-rooms/\" target=\"_blank\">spoke out</a> about how female sports reporters (especially gorgeous ones) don’t really belong in NFL locker rooms. Sainz was quick to point out that the level of female beauty shouldn’t make a difference.\r\n\r\n“You can’t put a cap on a woman and say “oh she’s beautiful, she can’t; she is not beautiful, she can do it,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nSainz also pointed out that the players who spoke out against having women reporters in the locker room actually make a good argument.\r\n\r\n“So I think that the problem is that they deserve a little respect in the intimacy of the locker room,” she said. “It’s very invasive to go to the locker room. I truly believe that they have the right to say that. In Mexico we’d never do that, we’d never go into the locker room, so I think it’s only a practice here in the States. I know that it’s a right that the women have and they demand 20 years ago, but I think it’s not a bad idea to think about another option to get the interviews. It’s better for everyone.”\r\n\r\nSainz also suggested that a zone be set up just outside of the locker room to provide equal access to players before or after they hit the showers.\r\n\r\nThat’s a damn good point. Women reporters want equal access, and that means locker room access. But what if a male sports reporter demanded access to the UConn women’s basketball team locker room? It would be ridiculous. It just doesn’t work both ways. At some point, the gender equality thing breaks down. There are clear differences between the sexes, like it or not.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3278\" title=\"ines\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"426\" />Locker rooms are not places for equal opportunity. They’re stinky, testosterone-packed places where dudes act like dudes, often with their junk hanging out. If male reporters aren’t allowed in female locker rooms, then female reporters shouldn’t be allowed in male locker rooms either.\r\n\r\nSo the whole locker room stuff aside, was there a deeper, cultural dynamic at play? Are people in Mexico and Latin America just more comfortable with female sexuality than us squares here in the States?\r\n\r\n“Probably in Latin America we are a little more used to that, that a man can say something nice to us, but not as a sexual thing. So like, ‘oh you’re pretty,’ or something like that. I don’t think that women can be sad about that. I don’t know, I think here in the States, everything is a little more formal, a little more… I don’t know, more different. It’s just different. But not exactly as you say in a sexual way,” Sainz told me.\r\n\r\n“I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be an attractive woman. I think that all the women in the world want to be as attractive as they can be.”\r\n\r\nSainz went on to explain that she works on television, and with broadcast journalism, whether it’s in Latin America or here in the States, trying to be attractive is part of the game.\r\n\r\nAnd she’s right.

Sainz agreed with me on that point.\n\n“I think it’s going to do something good for the education, but as you say, it’s not like within two weeks they’re all going to be educated. I think that it’s very cultural. They probably need to see that it’s a good idea not to have this kind of interview [in the locker room].

There’s no place for sexual harassment anywhere, but if the NFL wants to take steps to prevent harassment, they should listen to Sainz and create opportunities for female reporters to interact with players after they’ve had a chance to put their pants on.','Ines Sainz Interview','','inherit','open','open','','3266-autosave','','','2011-01-07 14:24:01','2011-01-07 22:24:01','',3266,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/3266-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(3283,2,'2010-12-22 10:53:46','2010-12-22 18:53:46','','ines-sainz-lead','','inherit','open','open','','ines-sainz-lead','','','2010-12-22 10:53:46','2010-12-22 18:53:46','',3266,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines-sainz-lead.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(3284,2,'2010-12-22 10:50:33','2010-12-22 18:50:33','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3267\" title=\"ines-sainz\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines-sainz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"283\" />\r\n\r\nIt’s funny how sports lets us talk about cultural themes that we don’t normally discuss in everyday conversation.  Let’s take gender equality for example. It’s not really something you talk about on the regular, but when the women’s basketball team at UConn tries to break the all-time NCAA basketball winning streak, the issue becomes a source for water cooler conversation all week. Sports allows us to talk about bigger issues in totally detached, relaxed and conversational way. Under the umbrella of athletic competition, no topic is off limits. Everything – culture, identity, values, etc. – can be folded in.\r\n\r\nThat’s why the Ines Sainz/Jets story took on such a life of its own. Sexism and exploitation are interesting topics, but they become much more discussable when wrapped in the easy-going blanket of sports talk.\r\n\r\nI’m sure you’ve heard about what happened when TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz visited a Jets practice back in September. Stories came out that this stunning reporter was subjected to all kinds of disrespectful behavior by the Jets players (and other members of the organization). Balls were thrown her way on the practice field so that players could try to bump into her. There was some lewd behavior reported in the locker room when Sainz was trying to interview QB Mark Sanchez.\r\n\r\nSainz was <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/13/reporter-sends-mixed-messages-about-conduct-at-jets-practice/\" target=\"_blank\">embarrassed and tweeted about it</a>. Fellow reporters were offended and jumped to her defense. The Association for Women in Sports Media stepped in and filed a complaint with the Jets and the NFL. The story blew up, and Sainz even appeared on <a href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/nfl-sideline-reporter-ines-sainz-harassed-jets-11631727\" target=\"_blank\">Good Morning America</a> to talk about it.\r\n\r\nAfter the story reached critical mass, two opinion camps formed. One camp saw Sainz as a victim of sexual harassment, in the workplace no less. Here’s a woman with an established career as a professional sports journalist who was mistreated by a bunch of chauvinistic, sophomoric football players. Her rights needed to be defended, and the culture of pro football players, with respect to their treatment of women reporters, needed to be changed dramatically.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3268\" title=\"SAINZ-INES-JEANS\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SAINZ-INES-JEANS-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"258\" />The other camp saw Sainz as an opportunist. A sexy bombshell who used her good looks and attention-hunger to exploit a situation for her own gain. I mean what sort of treatment did she expect wearing jeans that tight?\r\n\r\nAfter speaking with Sainz, I believe that there’s a lot of gray area to explore between these two opinion camps. Ines Sainz is a lot of things. She’s a wife, a mother, an international sports personality and a former Miss Spain. Sainz’s <a href=\"http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2010/09/ines-sainz-terrell-owens-cowboys-to/1\" target=\"_blank\">journalistic approach may be a bit cheeky</a>, but she’s not just some bimbo journo. She’s articulate, engaging and experienced. Sainz has interviewed over 300 athletes in her career, guys like Peyton Manning and Lionel Messi, Roger Federer and Jerry Rice. She’s covered all kinds of sports events from around the world. Super Bowls, top tennis matches, multiple World Cups. Stuff like that.\r\n\r\nIs she gorgeous? Unquestionably yes. Is she a victim of sexual harassment? She’ll be the first one to tell you no. When I asked her if she felt mistreated by the Jets players that day at practice, this is what she said:\r\n\r\n“No, I didn’t feel like they were not treating me well. I went there, I did my job. I had the chance to make my interview when I arrived at the locker room. Evidently, the moment [in the locker room] wasn’t the best. But it wasn’t  as rude as people think because – as I said many times – I just hear things like ‘Senorita Bonita’ or ‘I want to be Mexican’ or something like that. Probably, Latin women, we are kind of used to men that say something nice to us. But it wasn’t anything offensive or sexual even. I think that it’s lean, the line that you can cross between being nice and always friendly and, I don’t know, cat calls I think they call it. So I truly believe that in this particular moment, it wasn’t a bad thing. Everything was not with the intention to disturb me,” she said.\r\n\r\nOne woman’s compliment is another woman’s sexual harassment. So was it all an overreaction?\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n“At first I thought it was an overreaction,” she said, “because I didn’t hear anything.  So I believe it’s not as bad as people think. But then I believe the Association for Women in Sports Media decided to use it as an opportunity to play for the rights of women. So okay, if that’s the way they have to make their move, okay.”\r\n\r\nThere’s no questioning the fact that the whole ordeal created tons of publicity opportunities (both positive and negative) for everyone involved.  The Association for Women in Sports Media jumped at the chance to promote equality and respect for female sports journalists. Additional opportunities were created for Sainz as well.\r\n\r\nInitially, the situation had a negative impact on Sainz’s image.\r\n\r\n“At first, it really damaged my image, because in Mexico, I’m really well known. I’m a serious sports reporter. So suddenly, it’s like what is Ines doing in this situation and what happened? And the people really don’t know. I missed one very big contract with a bank in Mexico that I was the spokesperson for. It was terrible for me. It’s like why? I didn’t do anything, and suddenly they end my contract,” she said.\r\n\r\nBut Sainz is no fool. She knows that the publicity surrounding the Jets incident was also hugely beneficial. In addition to being hired on by Top Tank to cover the Pacquiao/Margarito fight, the attention Sainz received has also opened other doors in the States. Balancing the good with the bad, Sainz certainly ended up with a positive career lift.\r\n\r\n“It’s great, because obviously I start to have chances to do my work here in the States. If you talk about balance, probably the balanced is worse. But I think if I have the chance and the opportunity to show my work here, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a very good thing,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nThis may just be the beginning for Sainz.\r\n\r\n“As far as talking about to have my own show here in the States I think it’s a great opportunity right now to do a lot of things and I’m very excited about it,” she said.\r\n\r\nAfter the Jets episode, a lot of players <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/16/lance-briggs-says-women-shouldnt-be-in-locker-rooms/\" target=\"_blank\">spoke out</a> about how female sports reporters (especially gorgeous ones) don’t really belong in NFL locker rooms. Sainz was quick to point out that the level of female beauty shouldn’t make a difference.\r\n\r\n“You can’t put a cap on a woman and say “oh she’s beautiful, she can’t; she is not beautiful, she can do it,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nSainz also pointed out that the players who spoke out against having women reporters in the locker room actually make a good argument.\r\n\r\n“So I think that the problem is that they deserve a little respect in the intimacy of the locker room,” she said. “It’s very invasive to go to the locker room. I truly believe that they have the right to say that. In Mexico we’d never do that, we’d never go into the locker room, so I think it’s only a practice here in the States. I know that it’s a right that the women have and they demand 20 years ago, but I think it’s not a bad idea to think about another option to get the interviews. It’s better for everyone.”\r\n\r\nSainz also suggested that a zone be set up just outside of the locker room to provide equal access to players before or after they hit the showers.\r\n\r\nThat’s a damn good point. Women reporters want equal access, and that means locker room access. But what if a male sports reporter demanded access to the UConn women’s basketball team locker room? It would be ridiculous. It just doesn’t work both ways. At some point, the gender equality thing breaks down. There are clear differences between the sexes, like it or not.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3278\" title=\"ines\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"426\" />Locker rooms are not places for equal opportunity. They’re stinky, testosterone-packed places where dudes act like dudes, often with their junk hanging out. If male reporters aren’t allowed in female locker rooms, then female reporters shouldn’t be allowed in male locker rooms either.\r\n\r\nSo the whole locker room stuff aside, was there a deeper, cultural dynamic at play? Are people in Mexico and Latin America just more comfortable with female sexuality than us squares here in the States?\r\n\r\n“Probably in Latin America we are a little more used to that, that a man can say something nice to us, but not as a sexual thing. So like, ‘oh you’re pretty,’ or something like that. I don’t think that women can be sad about that. I don’t know, I think here in the States, everything is a little more formal, a little more… I don’t know, more different. It’s just different. But not exactly as you say in a sexual way,” Sainz told me.\r\n\r\n“I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be an attractive woman. I think that all the women in the world want to be as attractive as they can be.”\r\n\r\nSainz went on to explain that she works on television, and with broadcast journalism, whether it’s in Latin America or here in the States, trying to be attractive is part of the game.\r\n\r\nAnd she’s right. Women want to be attractive, and attractive women shouldn’t have to hide their attractiveness in order to do their jobs. Even in the male-dominated world of sports journalism.\r\n\r\nSainz also had some sound advice for women who are considering careers in sports journalism.\r\n\r\n“I would say that the most important thing that you can have is credibility,” Sainz said. “If you want to be a sports reporter, you need to love the sport. You need to feel a passion for sports, because if not, the people are not going to believe in you.”\r\n\r\nLooks help, sure, but all that beauty stuff is secondary.\r\n\r\n“In a way, if they can be a good looking girl, bravo. That’s a plus for you. But it’s only a plus, a compliment, not the first or main important thing,” she said.\r\n\r\nWith this whole Jets thing, Sainz wasn’t a victim, but she wasn’t a perpetrator either. She didn’t wield her sex appeal like a weapon, but she didn’t hide it. Why should she?\r\n\r\nSainz wasn’t taken advantage of that day at Jets practice, but she did take advantage of the situation. Why shouldn’t she? She’s got the credibility and the bonus-points looks. She didn’t create the controversy, but she didn’t back away from it either.\r\n\r\nWhen publicity opportunities present themselves, people are going to take advantage of them. The  Association for Women in Sports Media used the opportunity to promote gender equality and respect. Sainz took the opportunity to further her career. The NFL took the opportunity to educate players on sexual harassment of journalists.\r\n\r\nThe Jets players recently went through sensitivity training that I’m sure prompted more eye-rolling than any real changes of heart. Sainz agreed with me on that point.\r\n\r\n“I think it’s going to do something good for the education, but as you say, it’s not like within two weeks they’re all going to be educated. I think that it’s very cultural. They probably need to see that it’s a good idea not to have this kind of interview [in the locker room]. And also, I know that most of the players are very well educated and don’t have any problems so … I don’t know. I just know that the NFL decided after my episode with the Jets that they need to make a special educational training for all the teams in the NFL. So okay, if the NFL says so, okay, I agree with that,” she said.\r\n\r\nWe all know that it won’t do a damn thing. Men act like fools in the locker room and they act like fools around gorgeous women. It’s just what we do.

The story blew up, and Sainz even appeared on <a href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/nfl-sideline-reporter-ines-sainz-harassed-jets-11631727\" target=\"_blank\">Good Morning America</a> to talk about it.\r\n\r\nAfter the story reached critical mass, two opinion camps formed. One camp saw Sainz as a victim of sexual harassment, in the workplace no less. Here’s a woman with an established career as a professional sports journalist who was mistreated by a bunch of chauvinistic, sophomoric football players. Her rights needed to be defended, and the culture of pro football players, with respect to their treatment of women reporters, needed to be changed dramatically.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3268\" title=\"SAINZ-INES-JEANS\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SAINZ-INES-JEANS-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"258\" />The other camp saw Sainz as an opportunist. A sexy bombshell who used her good looks and attention-hunger to exploit a situation for her own gain. I mean what sort of treatment did she expect wearing jeans that tight?\r\n\r\nAfter speaking with Sainz, I believe that there’s a lot of gray area to explore between these two opinion camps. Ines Sainz is a lot of things. She’s a wife, a mother, an international sports personality and a former Miss Spain. Sainz’s <a href=\"http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2010/09/ines-sainz-terrell-owens-cowboys-to/1\" target=\"_blank\">journalistic approach may be a bit cheeky</a>, but she’s not just some bimbo journo. She’s articulate, engaging and experienced. Sainz has interviewed over 300 athletes in her career, guys like Peyton Manning and Lionel Messi, Roger Federer and Jerry Rice. She’s covered all kinds of sports events from around the world. Super Bowls, top tennis matches, multiple World Cups. Stuff like that.\r\n\r\nIs she gorgeous? Unquestionably yes. Is she a victim of sexual harassment? She’ll be the first one to tell you no. When I asked her if she felt mistreated by the Jets players that day at practice, this is what she said:\r\n\r\n“No, I didn’t feel like they were not treating me well. I went there, I did my job. I had the chance to make my interview when I arrived at the locker room. Evidently, the moment [in the locker room] wasn’t the best. But it wasn’t  as rude as people think because – as I said many times – I just hear things like ‘Senorita Bonita’ or ‘I want to be Mexican’ or something like that. Probably, Latin women, we are kind of used to men that say something nice to us. But it wasn’t anything offensive or sexual even. I think that it’s lean, the line that you can cross between being nice and always friendly and, I don’t know, cat calls I think they call it. So I truly believe that in this particular moment, it wasn’t a bad thing. Everything was not with the intention to disturb me,” she said.\r\n\r\nOne woman’s compliment is another woman’s sexual harassment. So was it all an overreaction?\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n“At first I thought it was an overreaction,” she said, “because I didn’t hear anything.  So I believe it’s not as bad as people think. But then I believe the Association for Women in Sports Media decided to use it as an opportunity to play for the rights of women. So okay, if that’s the way they have to make their move, okay.”\r\n\r\nThere’s no questioning the fact that the whole ordeal created tons of publicity opportunities (both positive and negative) for everyone involved.  The Association for Women in Sports Media jumped at the chance to promote equality and respect for female sports journalists. Additional opportunities were created for Sainz as well.\r\n\r\nInitially, the situation had a negative impact on Sainz’s image.\r\n\r\n“At first, it really damaged my image, because in Mexico, I’m really well known. I’m a serious sports reporter. So suddenly, it’s like what is Ines doing in this situation and what happened? And the people really don’t know. I missed one very big contract with a bank in Mexico that I was the spokesperson for. It was terrible for me. It’s like why? I didn’t do anything, and suddenly they end my contract,” she said.\r\n\r\nBut Sainz is no fool. She knows that the publicity surrounding the Jets incident was also hugely beneficial. In addition to being hired on by Top Tank to cover the Pacquiao/Margarito fight, the attention Sainz received has also opened other doors in the States. Balancing the good with the bad, Sainz certainly ended up with a positive career lift.\r\n\r\n“It’s great, because obviously I start to have chances to do my work here in the States. If you talk about balance, probably the balanced is worse. But I think if I have the chance and the opportunity to show my work here, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a very good thing,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nThis may just be the beginning for Sainz.\r\n\r\n“As far as talking about to have my own show here in the States I think it’s a great opportunity right now to do a lot of things and I’m very excited about it,” she said.\r\n\r\nAfter the Jets episode, a lot of players <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/16/lance-briggs-says-women-shouldnt-be-in-locker-rooms/\" target=\"_blank\">spoke out</a> about how female sports reporters (especially gorgeous ones) don’t really belong in NFL locker rooms. Sainz was quick to point out that the level of female beauty shouldn’t make a difference.\r\n\r\n“You can’t put a cap on a woman and say “oh she’s beautiful, she can’t; she is not beautiful, she can do it,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nSainz also pointed out that the players who spoke out against having women reporters in the locker room actually make a good argument.\r\n\r\n“So I think that the problem is that they deserve a little respect in the intimacy of the locker room,” she said. “It’s very invasive to go to the locker room. I truly believe that they have the right to say that. In Mexico we’d never do that, we’d never go into the locker room, so I think it’s only a practice here in the States. I know that it’s a right that the women have and they demand 20 years ago, but I think it’s not a bad idea to think about another option to get the interviews. It’s better for everyone.”\r\n\r\nSainz also suggested that a zone be set up just outside of the locker room to provide equal access to players before or after they hit the showers.\r\n\r\nThat’s a damn good point. Women reporters want equal access, and that means locker room access. But what if a male sports reporter demanded access to the UConn women’s basketball team locker room? It would be ridiculous. It just doesn’t work both ways. At some point, the gender equality thing breaks down. There are clear differences between the sexes, like it or not.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3278\" title=\"ines\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"426\" />Locker rooms are not places for equal opportunity. They’re stinky, testosterone-packed places where dudes act like dudes, often with their junk hanging out. If male reporters aren’t allowed in female locker rooms, then female reporters shouldn’t be allowed in male locker rooms either.\r\n\r\nSo the whole locker room stuff aside, was there a deeper, cultural dynamic at play? Are people in Mexico and Latin America just more comfortable with female sexuality than us squares here in the States?\r\n\r\n“Probably in Latin America we are a little more used to that, that a man can say something nice to us, but not as a sexual thing. So like, ‘oh you’re pretty,’ or something like that. I don’t think that women can be sad about that. I don’t know, I think here in the States, everything is a little more formal, a little more… I don’t know, more different. It’s just different. But not exactly as you say in a sexual way,” Sainz told me.\r\n\r\n“I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be an attractive woman. I think that all the women in the world want to be as attractive as they can be.”\r\n\r\nSainz went on to explain that she works on television, and with broadcast journalism, whether it’s in Latin America or here in the States, trying to be attractive is part of the game.\r\n\r\nAnd she’s right. Women want to be attractive, and attractive women shouldn’t have to hide their attractiveness in order to do their jobs. Even in the male-dominated world of sports journalism.\r\n\r\nSainz also had some sound advice for women who are considering careers in sports journalism.\r\n\r\n“I would say that the most important thing that you can have is credibility,” Sainz said. “If you want to be a sports reporter, you need to love the sport. You need to feel a passion for sports, because if not, the people are not going to believe in you.”\r\n\r\nLooks help, sure, but all that beauty stuff is secondary.\r\n\r\n“In a way, if they can be a good looking girl, bravo. That’s a plus for you. But it’s only a plus, a compliment, not the first or main important thing,” she said.\r\n\r\nWith this whole Jets thing, Sainz wasn’t a victim, but she wasn’t a perpetrator either. She didn’t wield her sex appeal like a weapon, but she didn’t hide it. Why should she?\r\n\r\nSainz wasn’t taken advantage of that day at Jets practice, but she did take advantage of the situation. Why shouldn’t she? She’s got the credibility and the bonus-points looks. She didn’t create the controversy, but she didn’t back away from it either.\r\n\r\nWhen publicity opportunities present themselves, people are going to take advantage of them. The  Association for Women in Sports Media used the opportunity to promote gender equality and respect. Sainz took the opportunity to further her career. The NFL took the opportunity to educate players on sexual harassment of journalists.\r\n\r\nThe Jets players recently went through sensitivity training that I’m sure prompted more eye-rolling than any real changes of heart. Sainz agreed with me on that point.\r\n\r\n“I think it’s going to do something good for the education, but as you say, it’s not like within two weeks they’re all going to be educated. I think that it’s very cultural. They probably need to see that it’s a good idea not to have this kind of interview [in the locker room]. And also, I know that most of the players are very well educated and don’t have any problems so … I don’t know. I just know that the NFL decided after my episode with the Jets that they need to make a special educational training for all the teams in the NFL. So okay, if the NFL says so, okay, I agree with that,” she said.\r\n\r\nWe all know that it won’t do a damn thing. Men act like fools in the locker room and they act like fools around gorgeous women. It’s just what we do. There’s no place for sexual harassment anywhere, but if the NFL wants to take steps to prevent harassment, they should listen to Sainz and create opportunities for female reporters to interact with players after they’ve had a chance to put their pants on.','Ines Sainz Interview','','inherit','open','open','','3266-revision-15','','','2010-12-22 10:54:16','2010-12-22 18:54:16','',3266,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/3266-revision-15/',0,'revision','',0),(3287,2,'2010-12-22 10:56:19','2010-12-22 18:56:19','','ines-sainz-lead1','','inherit','open','open','','ines-sainz-lead1','','','2010-12-22 10:56:19','2010-12-22 18:56:19','',3266,'http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines-sainz-lead1.jpg',0,'attachment','image/jpeg',0),(3288,2,'2010-12-22 10:54:42','2010-12-22 18:54:42','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3267\" title=\"ines-sainz\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines-sainz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"283\" />\r\n\r\nIt’s funny how sports lets us talk about cultural themes that we don’t normally discuss in everyday conversation.  Let’s take gender equality for example. It’s not really something you talk about on the regular, but when the women’s basketball team at UConn tries to break the all-time NCAA basketball winning streak, the issue becomes a source for water cooler conversation all week. Sports allows us to talk about bigger issues in totally detached, relaxed and conversational way. Under the umbrella of athletic competition, no topic is off limits. Everything – culture, identity, values, etc. – can be folded in.\r\n\r\nThat’s why the Ines Sainz/Jets story took on such a life of its own. Sexism and exploitation are interesting topics, but they become much more discussable when wrapped in the easy-going blanket of sports talk.\r\n\r\nI’m sure you’ve heard about what happened when TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz visited a Jets practice back in September. Stories came out that this stunning reporter was subjected to all kinds of disrespectful behavior by the Jets players (and other members of the organization).

Her rights needed to be defended, and the culture of pro football players, with respect to their treatment of women reporters, needed to be changed dramatically.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3268\" title=\"SAINZ-INES-JEANS\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SAINZ-INES-JEANS-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"258\" />The other camp saw Sainz as an opportunist. A sexy bombshell who used her good looks and attention-hunger to exploit a situation for her own gain. I mean what sort of treatment did she expect wearing jeans that tight?\r\n\r\nAfter speaking with Sainz, I believe that there’s a lot of gray area to explore between these two opinion camps. Ines Sainz is a lot of things. She’s a wife, a mother, an international sports personality and a former Miss Spain. Sainz’s <a href=\"http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2010/09/ines-sainz-terrell-owens-cowboys-to/1\" target=\"_blank\">journalistic approach may be a bit cheeky</a>, but she’s not just some bimbo journo. She’s articulate, engaging and experienced. Sainz has interviewed over 300 athletes in her career, guys like Peyton Manning and Lionel Messi, Roger Federer and Jerry Rice. She’s covered all kinds of sports events from around the world. Super Bowls, top tennis matches, multiple World Cups. Stuff like that.\r\n\r\nIs she gorgeous? Unquestionably yes. Is she a victim of sexual harassment? She’ll be the first one to tell you no. When I asked her if she felt mistreated by the Jets players that day at practice, this is what she said:\r\n\r\n“No, I didn’t feel like they were not treating me well. I went there, I did my job. I had the chance to make my interview when I arrived at the locker room. Evidently, the moment [in the locker room] wasn’t the best. But it wasn’t  as rude as people think because – as I said many times – I just hear things like ‘Senorita Bonita’ or ‘I want to be Mexican’ or something like that. Probably, Latin women, we are kind of used to men that say something nice to us. But it wasn’t anything offensive or sexual even. I think that it’s lean, the line that you can cross between being nice and always friendly and, I don’t know, cat calls I think they call it. So I truly believe that in this particular moment, it wasn’t a bad thing. Everything was not with the intention to disturb me,” she said.\r\n\r\nOne woman’s compliment is another woman’s sexual harassment. So was it all an overreaction?\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n“At first I thought it was an overreaction,” she said, “because I didn’t hear anything.  So I believe it’s not as bad as people think. But then I believe the Association for Women in Sports Media decided to use it as an opportunity to play for the rights of women. So okay, if that’s the way they have to make their move, okay.”\r\n\r\nThere’s no questioning the fact that the whole ordeal created tons of publicity opportunities (both positive and negative) for everyone involved.  The Association for Women in Sports Media jumped at the chance to promote equality and respect for female sports journalists. Additional opportunities were created for Sainz as well.\r\n\r\nInitially, the situation had a negative impact on Sainz’s image.\r\n\r\n“At first, it really damaged my image, because in Mexico, I’m really well known. I’m a serious sports reporter. So suddenly, it’s like what is Ines doing in this situation and what happened? And the people really don’t know. I missed one very big contract with a bank in Mexico that I was the spokesperson for. It was terrible for me. It’s like why? I didn’t do anything, and suddenly they end my contract,” she said.\r\n\r\nBut Sainz is no fool. She knows that the publicity surrounding the Jets incident was also hugely beneficial. In addition to being hired on by Top Tank to cover the Pacquiao/Margarito fight, the attention Sainz received has also opened other doors in the States. Balancing the good with the bad, Sainz certainly ended up with a positive career lift.\r\n\r\n“It’s great, because obviously I start to have chances to do my work here in the States. If you talk about balance, probably the balanced is worse. But I think if I have the chance and the opportunity to show my work here, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a very good thing,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nThis may just be the beginning for Sainz.\r\n\r\n“As far as talking about to have my own show here in the States I think it’s a great opportunity right now to do a lot of things and I’m very excited about it,” she said.\r\n\r\nAfter the Jets episode, a lot of players <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/16/lance-briggs-says-women-shouldnt-be-in-locker-rooms/\" target=\"_blank\">spoke out</a> about how female sports reporters (especially gorgeous ones) don’t really belong in NFL locker rooms. Sainz was quick to point out that the level of female beauty shouldn’t make a difference.\r\n\r\n“You can’t put a cap on a woman and say “oh she’s beautiful, she can’t; she is not beautiful, she can do it,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nSainz also pointed out that the players who spoke out against having women reporters in the locker room actually make a good argument.\r\n\r\n“So I think that the problem is that they deserve a little respect in the intimacy of the locker room,” she said. “It’s very invasive to go to the locker room. I truly believe that they have the right to say that. In Mexico we’d never do that, we’d never go into the locker room, so I think it’s only a practice here in the States. I know that it’s a right that the women have and they demand 20 years ago, but I think it’s not a bad idea to think about another option to get the interviews. It’s better for everyone.”\r\n\r\nSainz also suggested that a zone be set up just outside of the locker room to provide equal access to players before or after they hit the showers.\r\n\r\nThat’s a damn good point. Women reporters want equal access, and that means locker room access. But what if a male sports reporter demanded access to the UConn women’s basketball team locker room? It would be ridiculous. It just doesn’t work both ways. At some point, the gender equality thing breaks down. There are clear differences between the sexes, like it or not.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3278\" title=\"ines\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"426\" />Locker rooms are not places for equal opportunity. They’re stinky, testosterone-packed places where dudes act like dudes, often with their junk hanging out. If male reporters aren’t allowed in female locker rooms, then female reporters shouldn’t be allowed in male locker rooms either.\r\n\r\nSo the whole locker room stuff aside, was there a deeper, cultural dynamic at play? Are people in Mexico and Latin America just more comfortable with female sexuality than us squares here in the States?\r\n\r\n“Probably in Latin America we are a little more used to that, that a man can say something nice to us, but not as a sexual thing. So like, ‘oh you’re pretty,’ or something like that. I don’t think that women can be sad about that. I don’t know, I think here in the States, everything is a little more formal, a little more… I don’t know, more different. It’s just different. But not exactly as you say in a sexual way,” Sainz told me.\r\n\r\n“I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be an attractive woman. I think that all the women in the world want to be as attractive as they can be.”\r\n\r\nSainz went on to explain that she works on television, and with broadcast journalism, whether it’s in Latin America or here in the States, trying to be attractive is part of the game.\r\n\r\nAnd she’s right. Women want to be attractive, and attractive women shouldn’t have to hide their attractiveness in order to do their jobs. Even in the male-dominated world of sports journalism.\r\n\r\nSainz also had some sound advice for women who are considering careers in sports journalism.\r\n\r\n“I would say that the most important thing that you can have is credibility,” Sainz said. “If you want to be a sports reporter, you need to love the sport. You need to feel a passion for sports, because if not, the people are not going to believe in you.”\r\n\r\nLooks help, sure, but all that beauty stuff is secondary.\r\n\r\n“In a way, if they can be a good looking girl, bravo. That’s a plus for you. But it’s only a plus, a compliment, not the first or main important thing,” she said.\r\n\r\nWith this whole Jets thing, Sainz wasn’t a victim, but she wasn’t a perpetrator either. She didn’t wield her sex appeal like a weapon, but she didn’t hide it. Why should she?\r\n\r\nSainz wasn’t taken advantage of that day at Jets practice, but she did take advantage of the situation. Why shouldn’t she? She’s got the credibility and the bonus-points looks. She didn’t create the controversy, but she didn’t back away from it either.\r\n\r\nWhen publicity opportunities present themselves, people are going to take advantage of them. The  Association for Women in Sports Media used the opportunity to promote gender equality and respect. Sainz took the opportunity to further her career. The NFL took the opportunity to educate players on sexual harassment of journalists.\r\n\r\nThe Jets players recently went through sensitivity training that I’m sure prompted more eye-rolling than any real changes of heart. Sainz agreed with me on that point.\r\n\r\n“I think it’s going to do something good for the education, but as you say, it’s not like within two weeks they’re all going to be educated. I think that it’s very cultural. They probably need to see that it’s a good idea not to have this kind of interview [in the locker room]. And also, I know that most of the players are very well educated and don’t have any problems so … I don’t know. I just know that the NFL decided after my episode with the Jets that they need to make a special educational training for all the teams in the NFL. So okay, if the NFL says so, okay, I agree with that,” she said.\r\n\r\nWe all know that it won’t do a damn thing. Men act like fools in the locker room and they act like fools around gorgeous women. It’s just what we do. There’s no place for sexual harassment anywhere, but if the NFL wants to take steps to prevent harassment, they should listen to Sainz and create opportunities for female reporters to interact with players after they’ve had a chance to put their pants on.','Ines Sainz Interview','','inherit','open','open','','3266-revision-17','','','2010-12-22 10:58:05','2010-12-22 18:58:05','',3266,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/3266-revision-17/',0,'revision','',0),(3292,2,'2010-12-22 11:02:08','2010-12-22 19:02:08','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3267\" title=\"ines-sainz\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines-sainz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"283\" />\r\n\r\nIt’s funny how sports lets us talk about cultural themes that we don’t normally discuss in everyday conversation.  Let’s take gender equality for example. It’s not really something you talk about on the regular, but when the women’s basketball team at UConn tries to break the all-time NCAA basketball winning streak, the issue becomes a source for water cooler conversation all week. Sports allows us to talk about bigger issues in totally detached, relaxed and conversational way. Under the umbrella of athletic competition, no topic is off limits. Everything – culture, identity, values, etc. – can be folded in.\r\n\r\nThat’s why the Ines Sainz/Jets story took on such a life of its own. Sexism and exploitation are interesting topics, but they become much more discussable when wrapped in the easy-going blanket of sports talk.\r\n\r\nI’m sure you’ve heard about what happened when TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz visited a Jets practice back in September. Stories came out that this stunning reporter was subjected to all kinds of disrespectful behavior by the Jets players (and other members of the organization). Balls were thrown her way on the practice field so that players could try to bump into her. There was some lewd behavior reported in the locker room when Sainz was trying to interview QB Mark Sanchez.\r\n\r\nSainz was <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/13/reporter-sends-mixed-messages-about-conduct-at-jets-practice/\" target=\"_blank\">embarrassed and tweeted about it</a>. Fellow reporters were offended and jumped to her defense. The Association for Women in Sports Media stepped in and filed a complaint with the Jets and the NFL.

Additional opportunities were created for Sainz as well.\r\n\r\nInitially, the situation had a negative impact on Sainz’s image.\r\n\r\n“At first, it really damaged my image, because in Mexico, I’m really well known. I’m a serious sports reporter. So suddenly, it’s like what is Ines doing in this situation and what happened? And the people really don’t know. I missed one very big contract with a bank in Mexico that I was the spokesperson for. It was terrible for me. It’s like why? I didn’t do anything, and suddenly they end my contract,” she said.\r\n\r\nBut Sainz is no fool. She knows that the publicity surrounding the Jets incident was also hugely beneficial. In addition to being hired on by <a href=\"http://www.toprank.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Top Rank</a> to cover the Pacquiao/Margarito fight, the attention Sainz received has also opened other doors in the States. Balancing the good with the bad, Sainz certainly ended up with a positive career lift.\r\n\r\n“It’s great, because obviously I start to have chances to do my work here in the States. If you talk about balance, probably the balanced is worse. But I think if I have the chance and the opportunity to show my work here, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a very good thing,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nThis may just be the beginning for Sainz.\r\n\r\n“As far as talking about to have my own show here in the States I think it’s a great opportunity right now to do a lot of things and I’m very excited about it,” she said.\r\n\r\nAfter the Jets episode, a lot of players <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/16/lance-briggs-says-women-shouldnt-be-in-locker-rooms/\" target=\"_blank\">spoke out</a> about how female sports reporters (especially gorgeous ones) don’t really belong in NFL locker rooms. Sainz was quick to point out that the level of female beauty shouldn’t make a difference.\r\n\r\n“You can’t put a cap on a woman and say “oh she’s beautiful, she can’t; she is not beautiful, she can do it,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nSainz also pointed out that the players who spoke out against having women reporters in the locker room actually make a good argument.\r\n\r\n“So I think that the problem is that they deserve a little respect in the intimacy of the locker room,” she said. “It’s very invasive to go to the locker room. I truly believe that they have the right to say that. In Mexico we’d never do that, we’d never go into the locker room, so I think it’s only a practice here in the States. I know that it’s a right that the women have and they demand 20 years ago, but I think it’s not a bad idea to think about another option to get the interviews. It’s better for everyone.”\r\n\r\nSainz also suggested that a zone be set up just outside of the locker room to provide equal access to players before or after they hit the showers.\r\n\r\nThat’s a damn good point. Women reporters want equal access, and that means locker room access. But what if a male sports reporter demanded access to the UConn women’s basketball team locker room? It would be ridiculous. It just doesn’t work both ways. At some point, the gender equality thing breaks down. There are clear differences between the sexes, like it or not.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3278\" title=\"ines\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"426\" />Locker rooms are not places for equal opportunity. They’re stinky, testosterone-packed places where dudes act like dudes, often with their junk hanging out. If male reporters aren’t allowed in female locker rooms, then female reporters shouldn’t be allowed in male locker rooms either.\r\n\r\nSo the whole locker room stuff aside, was there a deeper, cultural dynamic at play? Are people in Mexico and Latin America just more comfortable with female sexuality than us squares here in the States?\r\n\r\n“Probably in Latin America we are a little more used to that, that a man can say something nice to us, but not as a sexual thing. So like, ‘oh you’re pretty,’ or something like that. I don’t think that women can be sad about that. I don’t know, I think here in the States, everything is a little more formal, a little more… I don’t know, more different. It’s just different. But not exactly as you say in a sexual way,” Sainz told me.\r\n\r\n“I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be an attractive woman. I think that all the women in the world want to be as attractive as they can be.”\r\n\r\nSainz went on to explain that she works on television, and with broadcast journalism, whether it’s in Latin America or here in the States, trying to be attractive is part of the game.\r\n\r\nAnd she’s right. Women want to be attractive, and attractive women shouldn’t have to hide their attractiveness in order to do their jobs. Even in the male-dominated world of sports journalism.\r\n\r\nSainz also had some sound advice for women who are considering careers in sports journalism.\r\n\r\n“I would say that the most important thing that you can have is credibility,” Sainz said. “If you want to be a sports reporter, you need to love the sport. You need to feel a passion for sports, because if not, the people are not going to believe in you.”\r\n\r\nLooks help, sure, but all that beauty stuff is secondary.\r\n\r\n“In a way, if they can be a good looking girl, bravo. That’s a plus for you. But it’s only a plus, a compliment, not the first or main important thing,” she said.\r\n\r\nWith this whole Jets thing, Sainz wasn’t a victim, but she wasn’t a perpetrator either. She didn’t wield her sex appeal like a weapon, but she didn’t hide it. Why should she?\r\n\r\nSainz wasn’t taken advantage of that day at Jets practice, but she did take advantage of the situation. Why shouldn’t she? She’s got the credibility and the bonus-points looks. She didn’t create the controversy, but she didn’t back away from it either.\r\n\r\nWhen publicity opportunities present themselves, people are going to take advantage of them. The  Association for Women in Sports Media used the opportunity to promote gender equality and respect. Sainz took the opportunity to further her career. The NFL took the opportunity to educate players on sexual harassment of journalists.\r\n\r\nThe Jets players recently went through sensitivity training that I’m sure prompted more eye-rolling than any real changes of heart. Sainz agreed with me on that point.\r\n\r\n“I think it’s going to do something good for the education, but as you say, it’s not like within two weeks they’re all going to be educated. I think that it’s very cultural. They probably need to see that it’s a good idea not to have this kind of interview [in the locker room]. And also, I know that most of the players are very well educated and don’t have any problems so … I don’t know. I just know that the NFL decided after my episode with the Jets that they need to make a special educational training for all the teams in the NFL. So okay, if the NFL says so, okay, I agree with that,” she said.\r\n\r\nWe all know that it won’t do a damn thing. Men act like fools in the locker room and they act like fools around gorgeous women. It’s just what we do. There’s no place for sexual harassment anywhere, but if the NFL wants to take steps to prevent harassment, they should listen to Sainz and create opportunities for female reporters to interact with players after they’ve had a chance to put their pants on.','Ines Sainz Interview','','inherit','open','open','','3266-revision-19','','','2010-12-22 11:05:10','2010-12-22 19:05:10','',3266,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/3266-revision-19/',0,'revision','',0),(3294,2,'2010-12-22 10:59:54','2010-12-22 18:59:54','<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Mr.-T-Nancy-Regan-Christmas.jpg\"><img src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Mr.-T-Nancy-Regan-Christmas.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Mr. T Nancy Regan Christmas\" width=\"352\" height=\"543\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3289\" /></a>','Nancy and Mr. T Wish You a Merry Christmas','','inherit','open','open','','3290-revision','','','2010-12-22 10:59:54','2010-12-22 18:59:54','',3290,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/3290-revision/',0,'revision','',0),(3295,2,'2010-12-22 11:13:24','2010-12-22 19:13:24','<a href=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Mr.-T-Nancy-Regan-Christmas.jpg\"><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3289\" title=\"Mr. T Nancy Regan Christmas\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/Mr.-T-Nancy-Regan-Christmas.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"352\" height=\"543\" /></a>','Nancy and Mr. T Wish You a Merry Christmas','','inherit','open','open','','3290-autosave','','','2010-12-22 11:13:24','2010-12-22 19:13:24','',3290,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/3290-autosave/',0,'revision','',0),(3296,2,'2010-12-22 11:07:09','2010-12-22 19:07:09','<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-3267\" title=\"ines-sainz\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines-sainz.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"283\" />\r\n\r\nIt’s funny how sports lets us talk about cultural themes that we don’t normally discuss in everyday conversation.  Let’s take gender equality for example. It’s not really something you talk about on the regular, but when the women’s basketball team at UConn tries to break the all-time NCAA basketball winning streak, the issue becomes a source for water cooler conversation all week. Sports allows us to talk about bigger issues in totally detached, relaxed and conversational way. Under the umbrella of athletic competition, no topic is off limits. Everything – culture, identity, values, etc. – can be folded in.\r\n\r\nThat’s why the Ines Sainz/Jets story took on such a life of its own. Sexism and exploitation are interesting topics, but they become much more discussable when wrapped in the easy-going blanket of sports talk.\r\n\r\nI’m sure you’ve heard about what happened when TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz visited a Jets practice back in September. Stories came out that this stunning reporter was subjected to all kinds of disrespectful behavior by the Jets players (and other members of the organization). Balls were thrown her way on the practice field so that players could try to bump into her. There was some lewd behavior reported in the locker room when Sainz was trying to interview QB Mark Sanchez.\r\n\r\nSainz was <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/13/reporter-sends-mixed-messages-about-conduct-at-jets-practice/\" target=\"_blank\">embarrassed and tweeted about it</a>. Fellow reporters were offended and jumped to her defense. The Association for Women in Sports Media stepped in and filed a complaint with the Jets and the NFL. The story blew up, and Sainz even appeared on <a href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/nfl-sideline-reporter-ines-sainz-harassed-jets-11631727\" target=\"_blank\">Good Morning America</a> to talk about it.\r\n\r\nAfter the story reached critical mass, two opinion camps formed. One camp saw Sainz as a victim of sexual harassment, in the workplace no less. Here’s a woman with an established career as a professional sports journalist who was mistreated by a bunch of chauvinistic, sophomoric football players. Her rights needed to be defended, and the culture of pro football players, with respect to their treatment of women reporters, needed to be changed dramatically.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3268\" title=\"SAINZ-INES-JEANS\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SAINZ-INES-JEANS-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"258\" />The other camp saw Sainz as an opportunist. A sexy bombshell who used her good looks and attention-hunger to exploit a situation for her own gain. I mean what sort of treatment did she expect wearing jeans that tight?\r\n\r\nAfter speaking with Sainz, I believe that there’s a lot of gray area to explore between these two opinion camps. Ines Sainz is a lot of things. She’s a wife, a mother, an international sports personality and a former Miss Spain. Sainz’s <a href=\"http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2010/09/ines-sainz-terrell-owens-cowboys-to/1\" target=\"_blank\">journalistic approach may be a bit cheeky</a>, but she’s not just some bimbo journo. She’s articulate, engaging and experienced. Sainz has interviewed over 300 athletes in her career, guys like Peyton Manning and Lionel Messi, Roger Federer and Jerry Rice. She’s covered all kinds of sports events from around the world. Super Bowls, top tennis matches, multiple World Cups. Stuff like that.\r\n\r\nIs she gorgeous? Unquestionably yes. Is she a victim of sexual harassment? She’ll be the first one to tell you no. When I asked her if she felt mistreated by the Jets players that day at practice, this is what she said:\r\n\r\n“No, I didn’t feel like they were not treating me well. I went there, I did my job. I had the chance to make my interview when I arrived at the locker room. Evidently, the moment [in the locker room] wasn’t the best. But it wasn’t  as rude as people think because – as I said many times – I just hear things like ‘Senorita Bonita’ or ‘I want to be Mexican’ or something like that. Probably, Latin women, we are kind of used to men that say something nice to us. But it wasn’t anything offensive or sexual even. I think that it’s lean, the line that you can cross between being nice and always friendly and, I don’t know, cat calls I think they call it. So I truly believe that in this particular moment, it wasn’t a bad thing. Everything was not with the intention to disturb me,” she said.\r\n\r\nOne woman’s compliment is another woman’s sexual harassment. So was it all an overreaction?\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n“At first I thought it was an overreaction,” she said, “because I didn’t hear anything.  So I believe it’s not as bad as people think. But then I believe the Association for Women in Sports Media decided to use it as an opportunity to play for the rights of women. So okay, if that’s the way they have to make their move, okay.”\r\n\r\nThere’s no questioning the fact that the whole ordeal created tons of publicity opportunities (both positive and negative) for everyone involved.  The Association for Women in Sports Media jumped at the chance to promote equality and respect for female sports journalists.

I know I am. Guys are just a messy bunch and we just don’t focus too much on improving our living spaces. Organization and cleanliness are typically not top priorities for us. We care more about acquiring tech items than we do about organizing and arranging them in a neat and tidy way.\n\nBut arranging your living space is important. You don’t have to go all Feng Shui with it, but a little organization to the madness never hurt anyone. Having your home free from clutter is really quite liberating. It centers you and gives a relaxing retreat from the world. \n\nWhen your home is loaded with junk and jumbled piles of disorganized clothes, gear and other personal items, it gives you an uneasy feeling that you carry around with you all day. Even if you notice it, disorder in your living space is just plain toxic.\n\nNow you don’t have to be a professional interior designer to improve in the way you organize your living space. All it takes is a little bit of effort and a focus on functionality and compartmentalization for you to free yourself from the mental baggage of a messy home. \n\nI recently had the chance to speak with Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, the founder of ApartmentTherapy.com, and he shared with me his thoughts on the importance of bringing order to your living space. We also discussed the notion of “techorating,” and Maxwell shared with me some products that can help you spruce up your place by removing unnecessary cord clutter. Take a look at the video:\n\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=18065513&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=18065513&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>\n\nOne of the products that Maxwell showcased was the Duracell myGrid.

Let’s take gender equality for example. It’s not really something you talk about on the regular, but when the women’s basketball team at UConn tries to break the all-time NCAA basketball winning streak, the issue becomes a source for water cooler conversation all week. Sports allows us to talk about bigger issues in totally detached, relaxed and conversational way. Under the umbrella of athletic competition, no topic is off limits. Everything – culture, identity, values, etc. – can be folded in.\r\n\r\nThat’s why the Ines Sainz/Jets story took on such a life of its own. Sexism and exploitation are interesting topics, but they become much more discussable when wrapped in the easy-going blanket of sports talk.\r\n\r\nI’m sure you’ve heard about what happened when TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz visited a Jets practice back in September. Stories came out that this stunning reporter was subjected to all kinds of disrespectful behavior by the Jets players (and other members of the organization). Balls were thrown her way on the practice field so that players could try to bump into her. There was some lewd behavior reported in the locker room when Sainz was trying to interview QB Mark Sanchez.\r\n\r\nSainz was <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/13/reporter-sends-mixed-messages-about-conduct-at-jets-practice/\" target=\"_blank\">embarrassed and tweeted about it</a>. Fellow reporters were offended and jumped to her defense. The Association for Women in Sports Media stepped in and filed a complaint with the Jets and the NFL. The story blew up, and Sainz even appeared on <a href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/nfl-sideline-reporter-ines-sainz-harassed-jets-11631727\" target=\"_blank\">Good Morning America</a> to talk about it.\r\n\r\nAfter the story reached critical mass, two opinion camps formed. One camp saw Sainz as a victim of sexual harassment, in the workplace no less. Here’s a woman with an established career as a professional sports journalist who was mistreated by a bunch of chauvinistic, sophomoric football players. Her rights needed to be defended, and the culture of pro football players, with respect to their treatment of women reporters, needed to be changed dramatically.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3268\" title=\"SAINZ-INES-JEANS\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SAINZ-INES-JEANS-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"258\" />The other camp saw Sainz as an opportunist. A sexy bombshell who used her good looks and attention-hunger to exploit a situation for her own gain. I mean what sort of treatment did she expect wearing jeans that tight?\r\n\r\nAfter speaking with Sainz, I believe that there’s a lot of gray area to explore between these two opinion camps. Ines Sainz is a lot of things. She’s a wife, a mother, an international sports personality and a former Miss Spain. Sainz’s <a href=\"http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2010/09/ines-sainz-terrell-owens-cowboys-to/1\" target=\"_blank\">journalistic approach may be a bit cheeky</a>, but she’s not just some bimbo journo. She’s articulate, engaging and experienced. Sainz has interviewed over 300 athletes in her career, guys like Peyton Manning and Lionel Messi, Roger Federer and Jerry Rice. She’s covered all kinds of sports events from around the world. Super Bowls, top tennis matches, multiple World Cups. Stuff like that.\r\n\r\nIs she gorgeous? Unquestionably yes. Is she a victim of sexual harassment? She’ll be the first one to tell you no. When I asked her if she felt mistreated by the Jets players that day at practice, this is what she said:\r\n\r\n“No, I didn’t feel like they were not treating me well. I went there, I did my job. I had the chance to make my interview when I arrived at the locker room. Evidently, the moment [in the locker room] wasn’t the best. But it wasn’t  as rude as people think because – as I said many times – I just hear things like ‘Senorita Bonita’ or ‘I want to be Mexican’ or something like that. Probably, Latin women, we are kind of used to men that say something nice to us. But it wasn’t anything offensive or sexual even. I think that it’s lean, the line that you can cross between being nice and always friendly and, I don’t know, cat calls I think they call it. So I truly believe that in this particular moment, it wasn’t a bad thing. Everything was not with the intention to disturb me,” she said.\r\n\r\nOne woman’s compliment is another woman’s sexual harassment. So was it all an overreaction?\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n“At first I thought it was an overreaction,” she said, “because I didn’t hear anything.  So I believe it’s not as bad as people think. But then I believe the Association for Women in Sports Media decided to use it as an opportunity to play for the rights of women. So okay, if that’s the way they have to make their move, okay.”\r\n\r\nThere’s no questioning the fact that the whole ordeal created tons of publicity opportunities (both positive and negative) for everyone involved.  The Association for Women in Sports Media jumped at the chance to promote equality and respect for female sports journalists. Additional opportunities were created for Sainz as well.\r\n\r\nInitially, the situation had a negative impact on Sainz’s image.\r\n\r\n“At first, it really damaged my image, because in Mexico, I’m really well known. I’m a serious sports reporter. So suddenly, it’s like what is Ines doing in this situation and what happened? And the people really don’t know. I missed one very big contract with a bank in Mexico that I was the spokesperson for. It was terrible for me. It’s like why? I didn’t do anything, and suddenly they end my contract,” she said.\r\n\r\nBut Sainz is no fool. She knows that the publicity surrounding the Jets incident was also hugely beneficial. In addition to being hired on by <a href=\"http://www.toprank.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Top Rank</a> to cover the Pacquiao/Margarito fight, the attention Sainz received has also opened other doors in the States. Balancing the good with the bad, Sainz certainly ended up with a positive career lift.\r\n\r\n“It’s great, because obviously I start to have chances to do my work here in the States. If you talk about balance, probably the balanced is worse. But I think if I have the chance and the opportunity to show my work here, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a very good thing,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nThis may just be the beginning for Sainz.\r\n\r\n“As far as talking about to have my own show here in the States I think it’s a great opportunity right now to do a lot of things and I’m very excited about it,” she said.\r\n\r\nAfter the Jets episode, a lot of players <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/16/lance-briggs-says-women-shouldnt-be-in-locker-rooms/\" target=\"_blank\">spoke out</a> about how female sports reporters (especially gorgeous ones) don’t really belong in NFL locker rooms. Sainz was quick to point out that the level of female beauty shouldn’t make a difference.\r\n\r\n“You can’t put a cap on a woman and say “oh she’s beautiful, she can’t; she is not beautiful, she can do it,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nSainz also pointed out that the players who spoke out against having women reporters in the locker room actually make a good argument.\r\n\r\n“So I think that the problem is that they deserve a little respect in the intimacy of the locker room,” she said. “It’s very invasive to go to the locker room. I truly believe that they have the right to say that. In Mexico we’d never do that, we’d never go into the locker room, so I think it’s only a practice here in the States. I know that it’s a right that the women have and they demand 20 years ago, but I think it’s not a bad idea to think about another option to get the interviews. It’s better for everyone.”\r\n\r\nSainz also suggested that a zone be set up just outside of the locker room to provide equal access to players before or after they hit the showers.\r\n\r\nThat’s a damn good point. Women reporters want equal access, and that means locker room access. But what if a male sports reporter demanded access to the UConn women’s basketball team locker room? It would be ridiculous. It just doesn’t work both ways. At some point, the gender equality thing breaks down. There are clear differences between the sexes, like it or not.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3278\" title=\"ines\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"426\" />Locker rooms are not places for equal opportunity. They’re stinky, testosterone-packed places where dudes act like dudes, often with their junk hanging out. If male reporters aren’t allowed in female locker rooms, then female reporters shouldn’t be allowed in male locker rooms either.\r\n\r\nSo the whole locker room stuff aside, was there a deeper, cultural dynamic at play? Are people in Mexico and Latin America just more comfortable with female sexuality than us squares here in the States?\r\n\r\n“Probably in Latin America we are a little more used to that, that a man can say something nice to us, but not as a sexual thing. So like, ‘oh you’re pretty,’ or something like that. I don’t think that women can be sad about that. I don’t know, I think here in the States, everything is a little more formal, a little more… I don’t know, more different. It’s just different. But not exactly as you say in a sexual way,” Sainz told me.\r\n\r\n“I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be an attractive woman. I think that all the women in the world want to be as attractive as they can be.”\r\n\r\nSainz went on to explain that she works on television, and with broadcast journalism, whether it’s in Latin America or here in the States, trying to be attractive is part of the game.\r\n\r\nAnd she’s right. Women want to be attractive, and attractive women shouldn’t have to hide their attractiveness in order to do their jobs. Even in the male-dominated world of sports journalism.\r\n\r\nSainz also had some sound advice for women who are considering careers in sports journalism.\r\n\r\n“I would say that the most important thing that you can have is credibility,” Sainz said. “If you want to be a sports reporter, you need to love the sport. You need to feel a passion for sports, because if not, the people are not going to believe in you.”\r\n\r\nLooks help, sure, but all that beauty stuff is secondary.\r\n\r\n“In a way, if they can be a good looking girl, bravo. That’s a plus for you. But it’s only a plus, a compliment, not the first or main important thing,” she said.\r\n\r\nWith this whole Jets thing, Sainz wasn’t a victim, but she wasn’t a perpetrator either. She didn’t wield her sex appeal like a weapon, but she didn’t hide it. Why should she?\r\n\r\nSainz wasn’t taken advantage of that day at Jets practice, but she did take advantage of the situation. Why shouldn’t she? She’s got the credibility and the bonus-points looks. She didn’t create the controversy, but she didn’t back away from it either.\r\n\r\nWhen publicity opportunities present themselves, people are going to take advantage of them. The  Association for Women in Sports Media used the opportunity to promote gender equality and respect. Sainz took the opportunity to further her career. The NFL took the opportunity to educate players on sexual harassment of journalists.\r\n\r\nThe Jets players <a href=\"http://awsmonline.org/awsm-joins-jets-for-educational-session/\" target=\"_blank\">recently went through sensitivity training</a> that I’m sure prompted more eye-rolling than any real changes of heart. Sainz agreed with me on that point.\r\n\r\n“I think it’s going to do something good for the education, but as you say, it’s not like within two weeks they’re all going to be educated. I think that it’s very cultural. They probably need to see that it’s a good idea not to have this kind of interview [in the locker room]. And also, I know that most of the players are very well educated and don’t have any problems so … I don’t know. I just know that the NFL decided after my episode with the Jets that they need to make a special educational training for all the teams in the NFL.

Let’s take gender equality for example. It’s not really something you talk about on the regular, but when the women’s basketball team at UConn tries to break the all-time NCAA basketball winning streak, the issue becomes a source for water cooler conversation all week. Sports allows us to talk about bigger issues in a totally detached, relaxed and conversational way. Under the umbrella of athletic competition, no topic is off limits. Everything – culture, identity, values, etc. – can be folded in.\r\n\r\nThat’s why the Ines Sainz/Jets story took on such a life of its own. Sexism and exploitation are interesting topics, but they become much more discussable when wrapped in the easy-going blanket of sports talk.\r\n\r\nI’m sure you’ve heard about what happened when TV Azteca reporter Ines Sainz visited a Jets practice back in September. Stories came out that this stunning reporter was subjected to all kinds of disrespectful behavior by the Jets players (and other members of the organization). Balls were thrown her way on the practice field so that players could try to bump into her. There was some lewd behavior reported in the locker room when Sainz was trying to interview QB Mark Sanchez.\r\n\r\nSainz was <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/13/reporter-sends-mixed-messages-about-conduct-at-jets-practice/\" target=\"_blank\">embarrassed and tweeted about it</a>. Fellow reporters were offended and jumped to her defense. The Association for Women in Sports Media stepped in and filed a complaint with the Jets and the NFL. The story blew up, and Sainz even appeared on <a href=\"http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/nfl-sideline-reporter-ines-sainz-harassed-jets-11631727\" target=\"_blank\">Good Morning America</a> to talk about it.\r\n\r\nAfter the story reached critical mass, two opinion camps formed. One camp saw Sainz as a victim of sexual harassment, in the workplace no less. Here’s a woman with an established career as a professional sports journalist who was mistreated by a bunch of chauvinistic, sophomoric football players. Her rights needed to be defended, and the culture of pro football players, with respect to their treatment of women reporters, needed to be changed dramatically.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3268\" title=\"SAINZ-INES-JEANS\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/SAINZ-INES-JEANS-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"185\" height=\"258\" />The other camp saw Sainz as an opportunist. A sexy bombshell who used her good looks and attention-hunger to exploit a situation for her own gain. I mean what sort of treatment did she expect wearing jeans that tight?\r\n\r\nAfter speaking with Sainz, I believe that there’s a lot of gray area to explore between these two opinion camps. Ines Sainz is a lot of things. She’s a wife, a mother, an international sports personality and a former Miss Spain. Sainz’s <a href=\"http://content.usatoday.com/communities/gameon/post/2010/09/ines-sainz-terrell-owens-cowboys-to/1\" target=\"_blank\">journalistic approach may be a bit cheeky</a>, but she’s not just some bimbo journo. She’s articulate, engaging and experienced. Sainz has interviewed over 300 athletes in her career, guys like Peyton Manning and Lionel Messi, Roger Federer and Jerry Rice. She’s covered all kinds of sports events from around the world. Super Bowls, top tennis matches, multiple World Cups. Stuff like that.\r\n\r\nIs she gorgeous? Unquestionably yes. Is she a victim of sexual harassment? She’ll be the first one to tell you no. When I asked her if she felt mistreated by the Jets players that day at practice, this is what she said:\r\n\r\n“No, I didn’t feel like they were not treating me well. I went there, I did my job. I had the chance to make my interview when I arrived at the locker room. Evidently, the moment [in the locker room] wasn’t the best. But it wasn’t  as rude as people think because – as I said many times – I just hear things like ‘Senorita Bonita’ or ‘I want to be Mexican’ or something like that. Probably, Latin women, we are kind of used to men that say something nice to us. But it wasn’t anything offensive or sexual even. I think that it’s lean, the line that you can cross between being nice and always friendly and, I don’t know, cat calls I think they call it. So I truly believe that in this particular moment, it wasn’t a bad thing. Everything was not with the intention to disturb me,” she said.\r\n\r\nOne woman’s compliment is another woman’s sexual harassment. So was it all an overreaction?\r\n\r\n<!--more-->\r\n\r\n“At first I thought it was an overreaction,” she said, “because I didn’t hear anything.  So I believe it’s not as bad as people think. But then I believe the Association for Women in Sports Media decided to use it as an opportunity to play for the rights of women. So okay, if that’s the way they have to make their move, okay.”\r\n\r\nThere’s no questioning the fact that the whole ordeal created tons of publicity opportunities (both positive and negative) for everyone involved.  The Association for Women in Sports Media jumped at the chance to promote equality and respect for female sports journalists. Additional opportunities were created for Sainz as well.\r\n\r\nInitially, the situation had a negative impact on Sainz’s image.\r\n\r\n“At first, it really damaged my image, because in Mexico, I’m really well known. I’m a serious sports reporter. So suddenly, it’s like what is Ines doing in this situation and what happened? And the people really don’t know. I missed one very big contract with a bank in Mexico that I was the spokesperson for. It was terrible for me. It’s like why? I didn’t do anything, and suddenly they end my contract,” she said.\r\n\r\nBut Sainz is no fool. She knows that the publicity surrounding the Jets incident was also hugely beneficial. In addition to being hired on by <a href=\"http://www.toprank.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Top Rank</a> to cover the Pacquiao/Margarito fight, the attention Sainz received has also opened other doors in the States. Balancing the good with the bad, Sainz certainly ended up with a positive career lift.\r\n\r\n“It’s great, because obviously I start to have chances to do my work here in the States. If you talk about balance, probably the balanced is worse. But I think if I have the chance and the opportunity to show my work here, at the end of the day, it’s going to be a very good thing,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nThis may just be the beginning for Sainz.\r\n\r\n“As far as talking about to have my own show here in the States I think it’s a great opportunity right now to do a lot of things and I’m very excited about it,” she said.\r\n\r\nAfter the Jets episode, a lot of players <a href=\"http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/09/16/lance-briggs-says-women-shouldnt-be-in-locker-rooms/\" target=\"_blank\">spoke out</a> about how female sports reporters (especially gorgeous ones) don’t really belong in NFL locker rooms. Sainz was quick to point out that the level of female beauty shouldn’t make a difference.\r\n\r\n“You can’t put a cap on a woman and say “oh she’s beautiful, she can’t; she is not beautiful, she can do it,” Sainz said.\r\n\r\nSainz also pointed out that the players who spoke out against having women reporters in the locker room actually make a good argument.\r\n\r\n“So I think that the problem is that they deserve a little respect in the intimacy of the locker room,” she said. “It’s very invasive to go to the locker room. I truly believe that they have the right to say that. In Mexico we’d never do that, we’d never go into the locker room, so I think it’s only a practice here in the States. I know that it’s a right that the women have and they demand 20 years ago, but I think it’s not a bad idea to think about another option to get the interviews. It’s better for everyone.”\r\n\r\nSainz also suggested that a zone be set up just outside of the locker room to provide equal access to players before or after they hit the showers.\r\n\r\nThat’s a damn good point. Women reporters want equal access, and that means locker room access. But what if a male sports reporter demanded access to the UConn women’s basketball team locker room? It would be ridiculous. It just doesn’t work both ways. At some point, the gender equality thing breaks down. There are clear differences between the sexes, like it or not.\r\n\r\n<img class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-3278\" title=\"ines\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/ines.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"426\" />Locker rooms are not places for equal opportunity. They’re stinky, testosterone-packed places where dudes act like dudes, often with their junk hanging out. If male reporters aren’t allowed in female locker rooms, then female reporters shouldn’t be allowed in male locker rooms either.\r\n\r\nSo the whole locker room stuff aside, was there a deeper, cultural dynamic at play? Are people in Mexico and Latin America just more comfortable with female sexuality than us squares here in the States?\r\n\r\n“Probably in Latin America we are a little more used to that, that a man can say something nice to us, but not as a sexual thing. So like, ‘oh you’re pretty,’ or something like that. I don’t think that women can be sad about that. I don’t know, I think here in the States, everything is a little more formal, a little more… I don’t know, more different. It’s just different. But not exactly as you say in a sexual way,” Sainz told me.\r\n\r\n“I’m proud to be a woman. I’m proud to be an attractive woman. I think that all the women in the world want to be as attractive as they can be.”\r\n\r\nSainz went on to explain that she works on television, and with broadcast journalism, whether it’s in Latin America or here in the States, trying to be attractive is part of the game.\r\n\r\nAnd she’s right. Women want to be attractive, and attractive women shouldn’t have to hide their attractiveness in order to do their jobs. Even in the male-dominated world of sports journalism.\r\n\r\nSainz also had some sound advice for women who are considering careers in sports journalism.\r\n\r\n“I would say that the most important thing that you can have is credibility,” Sainz said. “If you want to be a sports reporter, you need to love the sport. You need to feel a passion for sports, because if not, the people are not going to believe in you.”\r\n\r\nLooks help, sure, but all that beauty stuff is secondary.\r\n\r\n“In a way, if they can be a good looking girl, bravo. That’s a plus for you. But it’s only a plus, a compliment, not the first or main important thing,” she said.\r\n\r\nWith this whole Jets thing, Sainz wasn’t a victim, but she wasn’t a perpetrator either. She didn’t wield her sex appeal like a weapon, but she didn’t hide it. Why should she?\r\n\r\nSainz wasn’t taken advantage of that day at Jets practice, but she did take advantage of the situation. Why shouldn’t she? She’s got the credibility and the bonus-points looks. She didn’t create the controversy, but she didn’t back away from it either.\r\n\r\nWhen publicity opportunities present themselves, people are going to take advantage of them. The  Association for Women in Sports Media used the opportunity to promote gender equality and respect. Sainz took the opportunity to further her career. The NFL took the opportunity to educate players on sexual harassment of journalists.\r\n\r\nThe Jets players <a href=\"http://awsmonline.org/awsm-joins-jets-for-educational-session/\" target=\"_blank\">recently went through sensitivity training</a> that I’m sure prompted more eye-rolling than any real changes of heart. Sainz agreed with me on that point.\r\n\r\n“I think it’s going to do something good for the education, but as you say, it’s not like within two weeks they’re all going to be educated. I think that it’s very cultural. They probably need to see that it’s a good idea not to have this kind of interview [in the locker room]. And also, I know that most of the players are very well educated and don’t have any problems so … I don’t know. I just know that the NFL decided after my episode with the Jets that they need to make a special educational training for all the teams in the NFL. So okay, if the NFL says so, okay, I agree with that,” she said.\r\n\r\nWe all know that it won’t do a damn thing. Men act like fools in the locker room and they act like fools around gorgeous women. It’s just what we do. There’s no place for sexual harassment anywhere, but if the NFL wants to take steps to prevent harassment, they should listen to Sainz and create opportunities for female reporters to interact with players after they’ve had a chance to put their pants on.','Ines Sainz Interview','','inherit','open','open','','3266-revision-22','','','2010-12-23 11:06:30','2010-12-23

src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/2010-rookie-pro-bowl-selections.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"180\" /></a>\r\n\r\nThe 2011 Pro Bowl roster selections are out, and while there are a plenty of familiar faces in the mix, there are quite a few newbies in the bunch this season. The Pro Bowl is going back to Honolulu this year, and the game will be played a week before the Super Bowl. Here\'s a couple of quick observations on the 2011 Pro Bowl roster selections:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Four rookies made the Pro Bowl this year (pictured above), and all of them deserved the  recognition. Lions DT Ndamukong Suh leads all interior lineman with 9  sacks this season. He\'ll start for the NFC. Steelers center Maurkice  Pouncey has been a strong, stabilizing force for an offensive line  that\'s been uncharacteristically shaky the past couple seasons. Plus, he\'s got a great name for an O-lineman. Pats CB  Devin McCourty\'s racked up six picks, two forced fumbles and 81 tackles  for a super-young defense in New England, proving again that the Pats  know how to find draft gems at the bottom of the first round. Titans  kick returner Marc Mariani amassed 1411 yards and one score on 56  kickoff returns this year. He also added 322 yards and a score on 25  punt returns.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>The QB selections shouldn\'t surprise anyone. The AFC\'s picks include Brady, Manning and Rivers. Vick, Ryan and Brees will represent the AFC. Solid groups for both squads. Vick and Brady were neck-in-neck as consensus MVP picks before the Eagles fell flat against the Vikings in last night\'s Tuesday Night Football upset. Brady should lock up his second MVP award without much debate.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lots of newcomers made the Pro Bowl this year. The NFC is sending seven first-time selections to the Pro Bowl. The AFC is sending 14 fresh faces.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Texans WR Andre Johnson likely won\'t play in the Pro Bowl. I think Steelers receiver Mike Wallace should get some consideration when the league looks to fill that spot.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>The Pro Bowl just isn\'t big enough to include every awesome player in the league. Notable snubs this year include guys like Aaron Rodgers (101.9 QB rating, 3693 passing yards) and Matt Cassel (27 TDs to 5 INTs), Chris Johnson (1325 yards, 11 TDs), Peyton Hillis (1164 yards, 11 TDs) and LeSean McCoy (over 1000 yards rushing,  leads all RBs with 78 catches for 592 yards), LaMarr Woodley (8.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 2 INTs), Derrick Johnson (116 tackles, 4 forced fumbles) and Shaun Phillips (11 sacks). It\'s hard to argue against the selections at QB, RB and LB for either squad though.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Is DeAngelo Hall worthy of a trip to Honolulu? I know he\'s got six interceptions, but it seems like the guy gets burned a bunch.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Old timers like Packers CB Charles Woodson and OT Chad Clifton made the NFC squad on reputation this year.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Tony Gonzalez has been ridiculous for years, but this season the future Hall of Fame tight end didn\'t do a damn thing. We broke 100-yards just once (in Week 3), and he only had three weeks where he delivered double-digits fantasy points. He\'s just not the same guy. Useful, sure, but no longer worthy of being named an elite, All-Star-type player.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nHere\'s the complete list:\r\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"599\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\">\r\n<h2><strong>AFC   Offense</strong></h2>\r\n</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\">\r\n<h2><strong>NFC   Offense</strong></h2>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Quarterbacks</strong>\r\n\r\nTom Brady, New England\r\n\r\nPhilip Rivers, San Diego\r\n\r\nPeyton Manning, Indianapolis</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Quarterbacks</strong>\r\n\r\nMichael Vick, Philadelphia\r\n\r\nMatt Ryan, Atlanta\r\n\r\nDrew Brees, New Orleans</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Running Backs</strong>\r\n\r\nMaurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville\r\n\r\nArian Foster, Houston\r\n\r\nJamaal Charles, Kansas City</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Running Backs</strong>\r\n\r\nMichael Turner, Atlanta\r\n\r\nAdrian Peterson, Minnesota\r\n\r\nSteven Jackson, St. Louis</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fullback</strong>\r\n\r\nVonta Leach, Houston</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fullback</strong>\r\n\r\nOvie Mughelli, Atlanta</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wide Receivers</strong>\r\n\r\nAndre Johnson, Houston\r\n\r\nReggie Wayne, Indianapolis\r\n\r\nBrandon Lloyd, Denver\r\n\r\nDwayne Bowe, Kansas City</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wide Receivers</strong>\r\n\r\nRoddy White, Atlanta\r\n\r\nCalvin Johnson, Detroit\r\n\r\nDeSean Jackson, Philadelphia\r\n\r\nGreg Jennings, Green Bay</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tight Ends</strong>\r\n\r\nAntonio Gates, San Diego\r\n\r\nMarcedes Lewis, Jacksonville</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tight Ends</strong>\r\n\r\nJason Witten, Dallas\r\n\r\nTony Gonzalez, Atlanta</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Centers</strong>\r\n\r\nNick Mangold, N.Y.

The Pro Bowl is going back to Honolulu this year, and the game will be played a week before the Super Bowl. Here\'s a couple of quick observations on the 2011 Pro Bowl roster selections:\n\nFour rookies made the Pro Bowl this year, and all of them deserved the  recognition. Lions DT Ndamukong Suh leads all interior lineman with 8  sacks this season. He\'ll start for the NFC. Steelers center Maurkice  Pauncey has been a strong, stabilizing force for an offensive line  that\'s been uncharacteristically shaky the past couple seasons. Pats CB  Devin McCourty\'s racked up six picks, two forced fumbles and 81 tackles  for a super-young defense in New England, proving again that the Pats  know how to find draft gems at the bottom of the first round. Titans  kick returner Marc Mariani amassed 1411 yards and one score on 56  kickoff returns this year. He also added 322 yards and a score on 25  punt returns.\n\nThe QB selections shouldn\'t surprise anyone. The AFC\'s picks include Brady, Manning and Rivers. Vick, Ryan and Brees will represent the AFC. Solid groups for both squads. Vick and Brady were neck-in-neck as consensus MVP picks before the Eagles fell flat against the Vikings in last night\'s Tuesday Night Football upset. Brady should lock up his second MVP award without much debate.\n\nLots of newcomers made the Pro Bowl this year. The NFC is sending seven first-time selections to the Pro Bowl. The AFC is sending 14 fresh faces.\n\nTexans WR Andre Johnson likely won\'t play in the Pro Bowl. I think Steelers receiver Mike Wallace should get some consideration when the league looks to fill that spot.\n\nThe Pro Bowl just isn\'t big enough to include every awesome player in the league. Notable snubs this year include guys like Aaron Rodgers (101.9 QB rating, 3693 passing yards) and Matt Cassel (27 TDs to 5 INTs), Chris Johnson (1325 yards, 11 TDs) and LeSean McCoy (over 1000 yards rushing,  leads all RBs with 78 catches for 592 yards), LaMarr Woodley (8.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 2 INTs), Derrick Johnson (116 tackles, 4 forced fumbles) and Shaun Phillips (11 sacks). It\'s hard to argue against the selections at QB, RB and LB for either squad though.\n\nOld timers like Packers CB Charles Woodson and OT Chad Clifton made the NFC squad on reputation this year.\n\nIs DeAngelo Hall worthy of a trip to Honolulu? I know he\'s got six interceptions, but it seems like the guy gets burned a bunch.\n\nTony Gonzalez has been ridiculous for years, but this season the future Hall of Fame tight end didn\'t do a damn thing. We broke 100-yards just once (in Week 3), and he only had three weeks where he delivered double-digits fantasy points. He\'s just not the same guy. Useful, sure, but no longer worthy of being named an elite, All-Star-type player.\n\nHere\'s the complete list:\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"599\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>AFC   Offense</strong></td>\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>NFC   Offense</strong></td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Quarterbacks</strong>\n\nTom Brady, New England\n\nPhilip Rivers, San Diego\n\nPeyton Manning, Indianapolis</td>\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Quarterbacks</strong>\n\nMichael Vick, Philadelphia\n\nMatt Ryan, Atlanta\n\nDrew Brees, New Orleans</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Running Backs</strong>\n\nMaurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville\n\nArian Foster, Houston\n\nJamaal Charles, Kansas City</td>\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Running Backs</strong>\n\nMichael Turner, Atlanta\n\nAdrian Peterson, Minnesota\n\nSteven Jackson, St. Louis</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fullback</strong>\n\nVonta Leach, Houston</td>\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fullback</strong>\n\nOvie Mughelli, Atlanta</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wide Receivers</strong>\n\nAndre Johnson, Houston\n\nReggie Wayne, Indianapolis\n\nBrandon Lloyd, Denver\n\nDwayne Bowe, Kansas City</td>\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wide Receivers</strong>\n\nRoddy White, Atlanta\n\nCalvin Johnson, Detroit\n\nDeSean Jackson, Philadelphia\n\nGreg Jennings, Green Bay</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tight Ends</strong>\n\nAntonio Gates, San Diego\n\nMarcedes Lewis, Jacksonville</td>\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tight Ends</strong>\n\nJason Witten, Dallas\n\nTony Gonzalez, Atlanta</td>\n</tr>\n<tr>\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Centers</strong>\n\nNick Mangold, N.Y.

The Pro Bowl is going back to Honolulu this year, and the game will be played a week before the Super Bowl. Here\'s a couple of quick observations on the 2011 Pro Bowl roster selections:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Four rookies made the Pro Bowl this year, and all of them deserved the  recognition. Lions DT Ndamukong Suh leads all interior lineman with 8  sacks this season. He\'ll start for the NFC. Steelers center Maurkice  Pauncey has been a strong, stabilizing force for an offensive line  that\'s been uncharacteristically shaky the past couple seasons. Pats CB  Devin McCourty\'s racked up six picks, two forced fumbles and 81 tackles  for a super-young defense in New England, proving again that the Pats  know how to find draft gems at the bottom of the first round. Titans  kick returner Marc Mariani amassed 1411 yards and one score on 56  kickoff returns this year. He also added 322 yards and a score on 25  punt returns.</li>\r\n	<li>The QB selections shouldn\'t surprise anyone. The AFC\'s picks include Brady, Manning and Rivers. Vick, Ryan and Brees will represent the AFC. Solid groups for both squads. Vick and Brady were neck-in-neck as consensus MVP picks before the Eagles fell flat against the Vikings in last night\'s Tuesday Night Football upset. Brady should lock up his second MVP award without much debate.</li>\r\n	<li>Lots of newcomers made the Pro Bowl this year. The NFC is sending seven first-time selections to the Pro Bowl. The AFC is sending 14 fresh faces.</li>\r\n	<li>Texans WR Andre Johnson likely won\'t play in the Pro Bowl. I think Steelers receiver Mike Wallace should get some consideration when the league looks to fill that spot.</li>\r\n	<li>The Pro Bowl just isn\'t big enough to include every awesome player in the league. Notable snubs this year include guys like Aaron Rodgers (101.9 QB rating, 3693 passing yards) and Matt Cassel (27 TDs to 5 INTs), Chris Johnson (1325 yards, 11 TDs), Peyton Hillis (1164 yards, 11 TDs) and LeSean McCoy (over 1000 yards rushing,  leads all RBs with 78 catches for 592 yards), LaMarr Woodley (8.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 2 INTs), Derrick Johnson (116 tackles, 4 forced fumbles) and Shaun Phillips (11 sacks).

The Pro Bowl is going back to Honolulu this year, and the game will be played a week before the Super Bowl. Here\'s a couple of quick observations on the 2011 Pro Bowl roster selections:\n<ul>\n	<li>Four rookies made the Pro Bowl this year (pictured above), and all of them deserved the  recognition. Lions DT Ndamukong Suh leads all interior lineman with 9  sacks this season. He\'ll start for the NFC. Steelers center Maurkice  Pouncey has been a strong, stabilizing force for an offensive line  that\'s been uncharacteristically shaky the past couple seasons. Plus, he\'s got a great name for an O-lineman. Pats CB  Devin McCourty\'s racked up six picks, two forced fumbles and 81 tackles  for a super-young defense in New England, proving again that the Pats  know how to find draft gems at the bottom of the first round. Titans  kick returner Marc Mariani amassed 1411 yards and one score on 56  kickoff returns this year. He also added 322 yards and a score on 25  punt returns.</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n	<li>The QB selections shouldn\'t surprise anyone. The AFC\'s picks include Brady, Manning and Rivers. Vick, Ryan and Brees will represent the AFC. Solid groups for both squads. Vick and Brady were neck-in-neck as consensus MVP picks before the Eagles fell flat against the Vikings in last night\'s Tuesday Night Football upset. Brady should lock up his second MVP award without much debate.</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n	<li>Lots of newcomers made the Pro Bowl this year. The NFC is sending seven first-time selections to the Pro Bowl. The AFC is sending 14 fresh faces.</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n	<li>Texans WR Andre Johnson likely won\'t play in the Pro Bowl. I think Steelers receiver Mike Wallace should get some consideration when the league looks to fill that spot.</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n	<li>The Pro Bowl just isn\'t big enough to include every awesome player in the league. Notable snubs this year include guys like Aaron Rodgers (101.9 QB rating, 3693 passing yards) and Matt Cassel (27 TDs to 5 INTs), Chris Johnson (1325 yards, 11 TDs), Peyton Hillis (1164 yards, 11 TDs) and LeSean McCoy (over 1000 yards rushing,  leads all RBs with 78 catches for 592 yards), LaMarr Woodley (8.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 2 INTs), Derrick Johnson (116 tackles, 4 forced fumbles) and Shaun Phillips (11 sacks). It\'s hard to argue against the selections at QB, RB and LB for either squad though.</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n	<li>Is DeAngelo Hall worthy of a trip to Honolulu? I know he\'s got six interceptions, but it seems like the guy gets burned a bunch.</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n	<li>Old timers like Packers CB Charles Woodson and OT Chad Clifton made the NFC squad on reputation this year.</li>\n</ul>\n<ul>\n	<li>Tony Gonzalez has been ridiculous for years, but this season the future Hall of Fame tight end didn\'t do a damn thing.

The Pro Bowl is going back to Honolulu this year, and the game will be played a week before the Super Bowl. Here\'s a couple of quick observations on the 2011 Pro Bowl roster selections:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Four rookies made the Pro Bowl this year, and all of them deserved the  recognition. Lions DT Ndamukong Suh leads all interior lineman with 9  sacks this season. He\'ll start for the NFC. Steelers center Maurkice  Pauncey has been a strong, stabilizing force for an offensive line  that\'s been uncharacteristically shaky the past couple seasons. Pats CB  Devin McCourty\'s racked up six picks, two forced fumbles and 81 tackles  for a super-young defense in New England, proving again that the Pats  know how to find draft gems at the bottom of the first round. Titans  kick returner Marc Mariani amassed 1411 yards and one score on 56  kickoff returns this year. He also added 322 yards and a score on 25  punt returns.</li>\r\n	<li>The QB selections shouldn\'t surprise anyone. The AFC\'s picks include Brady, Manning and Rivers. Vick, Ryan and Brees will represent the AFC. Solid groups for both squads. Vick and Brady were neck-in-neck as consensus MVP picks before the Eagles fell flat against the Vikings in last night\'s Tuesday Night Football upset. Brady should lock up his second MVP award without much debate.</li>\r\n	<li>Lots of newcomers made the Pro Bowl this year. The NFC is sending seven first-time selections to the Pro Bowl. The AFC is sending 14 fresh faces.</li>\r\n	<li>Texans WR Andre Johnson likely won\'t play in the Pro Bowl. I think Steelers receiver Mike Wallace should get some consideration when the league looks to fill that spot.</li>\r\n	<li>The Pro Bowl just isn\'t big enough to include every awesome player in the league. Notable snubs this year include guys like Aaron Rodgers (101.9 QB rating, 3693 passing yards) and Matt Cassel (27 TDs to 5 INTs), Chris Johnson (1325 yards, 11 TDs), Peyton Hillis (1164 yards, 11 TDs) and LeSean McCoy (over 1000 yards rushing,  leads all RBs with 78 catches for 592 yards), LaMarr Woodley (8.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 2 INTs), Derrick Johnson (116 tackles, 4 forced fumbles) and Shaun Phillips (11 sacks). It\'s hard to argue against the selections at QB, RB and LB for either squad though.</li>\r\n	<li>Old timers like Packers CB Charles Woodson and OT Chad Clifton made the NFC squad on reputation this year.</li>\r\n	<li>Is DeAngelo Hall worthy of a trip to Honolulu? I know he\'s got six interceptions, but it seems like the guy gets burned a bunch.</li>\r\n	<li>Tony Gonzalez has been ridiculous for years, but this season the future Hall of Fame tight end didn\'t do a damn thing. We broke 100-yards just once (in Week 3), and he only had three weeks where he delivered double-digits fantasy points. He\'s just not the same guy. Useful, sure, but no longer worthy of being named an elite, All-Star-type player.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nHere\'s the complete list:\r\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"599\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\">\r\n<h2><strong>AFC   Offense</strong></h2>\r\n</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\">\r\n<h2><strong>NFC   Offense</strong></h2>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Quarterbacks</strong>\r\n\r\nTom Brady, New England\r\n\r\nPhilip Rivers, San Diego\r\n\r\nPeyton Manning, Indianapolis</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Quarterbacks</strong>\r\n\r\nMichael Vick, Philadelphia\r\n\r\nMatt Ryan, Atlanta\r\n\r\nDrew Brees, New Orleans</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Running Backs</strong>\r\n\r\nMaurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville\r\n\r\nArian Foster, Houston\r\n\r\nJamaal Charles, Kansas City</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Running Backs</strong>\r\n\r\nMichael Turner, Atlanta\r\n\r\nAdrian Peterson, Minnesota\r\n\r\nSteven Jackson, St. Louis</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fullback</strong>\r\n\r\nVonta Leach, Houston</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fullback</strong>\r\n\r\nOvie Mughelli, Atlanta</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wide Receivers</strong>\r\n\r\nAndre Johnson, Houston\r\n\r\nReggie Wayne, Indianapolis\r\n\r\nBrandon Lloyd, Denver\r\n\r\nDwayne Bowe, Kansas City</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wide Receivers</strong>\r\n\r\nRoddy White, Atlanta\r\n\r\nCalvin Johnson, Detroit\r\n\r\nDeSean Jackson, Philadelphia\r\n\r\nGreg Jennings, Green Bay</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tight Ends</strong>\r\n\r\nAntonio Gates, San Diego\r\n\r\nMarcedes Lewis, Jacksonville</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tight Ends</strong>\r\n\r\nJason Witten, Dallas\r\n\r\nTony Gonzalez, Atlanta</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Centers</strong>\r\n\r\nNick Mangold, N.Y.

The Pro Bowl is going back to Honolulu this year, and the game will be played a week before the Super Bowl. Here\'s a couple of quick observations on the 2011 Pro Bowl roster selections:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Four rookies made the Pro Bowl this year, and all of them deserved the  recognition. Lions DT Ndamukong Suh leads all interior lineman with 9  sacks this season. He\'ll start for the NFC. Steelers center Maurkice  Pouncey has been a strong, stabilizing force for an offensive line  that\'s been uncharacteristically shaky the past couple seasons. Plus, he\'s got a great name for an O-lineman. Pats CB  Devin McCourty\'s racked up six picks, two forced fumbles and 81 tackles  for a super-young defense in New England, proving again that the Pats  know how to find draft gems at the bottom of the first round. Titans  kick returner Marc Mariani amassed 1411 yards and one score on 56  kickoff returns this year. He also added 322 yards and a score on 25  punt returns.</li>\r\n\r\n	<li>The QB selections shouldn\'t surprise anyone. The AFC\'s picks include Brady, Manning and Rivers. Vick, Ryan and Brees will represent the AFC. Solid groups for both squads. Vick and Brady were neck-in-neck as consensus MVP picks before the Eagles fell flat against the Vikings in last night\'s Tuesday Night Football upset. Brady should lock up his second MVP award without much debate.</li>\r\n\r\n	<li>Lots of newcomers made the Pro Bowl this year. The NFC is sending seven first-time selections to the Pro Bowl. The AFC is sending 14 fresh faces.</li>\r\n\r\n	<li>Texans WR Andre Johnson likely won\'t play in the Pro Bowl. I think Steelers receiver Mike Wallace should get some consideration when the league looks to fill that spot.</li>\r\n\r\n	<li>The Pro Bowl just isn\'t big enough to include every awesome player in the league. Notable snubs this year include guys like Aaron Rodgers (101.9 QB rating, 3693 passing yards) and Matt Cassel (27 TDs to 5 INTs), Chris Johnson (1325 yards, 11 TDs), Peyton Hillis (1164 yards, 11 TDs) and LeSean McCoy (over 1000 yards rushing,  leads all RBs with 78 catches for 592 yards), LaMarr Woodley (8.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 2 INTs), Derrick Johnson (116 tackles, 4 forced fumbles) and Shaun Phillips (11 sacks). It\'s hard to argue against the selections at QB, RB and LB for either squad though.</li>\r\n\r\n	<li>Old timers like Packers CB Charles Woodson and OT Chad Clifton made the NFC squad on reputation this year.</li>\r\n\r\n	<li>Is DeAngelo Hall worthy of a trip to Honolulu? I know he\'s got six interceptions, but it seems like the guy gets burned a bunch.</li>\r\n\r\n	<li>Tony Gonzalez has been ridiculous for years, but this season the future Hall of Fame tight end didn\'t do a damn thing. We broke 100-yards just once (in Week 3), and he only had three weeks where he delivered double-digits fantasy points. He\'s just not the same guy. Useful, sure, but no longer worthy of being named an elite, All-Star-type player.</li>\r\n\r\n</ul>\r\nHere\'s the complete list:\r\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"599\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\">\r\n<h2><strong>AFC   Offense</strong></h2>\r\n</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\">\r\n<h2><strong>NFC   Offense</strong></h2>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Quarterbacks</strong>\r\n\r\nTom Brady, New England\r\n\r\nPhilip Rivers, San Diego\r\n\r\nPeyton Manning, Indianapolis</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Quarterbacks</strong>\r\n\r\nMichael Vick, Philadelphia\r\n\r\nMatt Ryan, Atlanta\r\n\r\nDrew Brees, New Orleans</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Running Backs</strong>\r\n\r\nMaurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville\r\n\r\nArian Foster, Houston\r\n\r\nJamaal Charles, Kansas City</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Running Backs</strong>\r\n\r\nMichael Turner, Atlanta\r\n\r\nAdrian Peterson, Minnesota\r\n\r\nSteven Jackson, St. Louis</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fullback</strong>\r\n\r\nVonta Leach, Houston</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fullback</strong>\r\n\r\nOvie Mughelli, Atlanta</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wide Receivers</strong>\r\n\r\nAndre Johnson, Houston\r\n\r\nReggie Wayne, Indianapolis\r\n\r\nBrandon Lloyd, Denver\r\n\r\nDwayne Bowe, Kansas City</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wide Receivers</strong>\r\n\r\nRoddy White, Atlanta\r\n\r\nCalvin Johnson, Detroit\r\n\r\nDeSean Jackson, Philadelphia\r\n\r\nGreg Jennings, Green Bay</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tight Ends</strong>\r\n\r\nAntonio Gates, San Diego\r\n\r\nMarcedes Lewis, Jacksonville</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tight Ends</strong>\r\n\r\nJason Witten, Dallas\r\n\r\nTony Gonzalez, Atlanta</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Centers</strong>\r\n\r\nNick Mangold, N.Y.

The Pro Bowl is going back to Honolulu this year, and the game will be played a week before the Super Bowl. Here\'s a couple of quick observations on the 2011 Pro Bowl roster selections:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Four rookies made the Pro Bowl this year (pictured above), and all of them deserved the  recognition. Lions DT Ndamukong Suh leads all interior lineman with 9  sacks this season. He\'ll start for the NFC. Steelers center Maurkice  Pouncey has been a strong, stabilizing force for an offensive line  that\'s been uncharacteristically shaky the past couple seasons. Plus, he\'s got a great name for an O-lineman. Pats CB  Devin McCourty\'s racked up six picks, two forced fumbles and 81 tackles  for a super-young defense in New England, proving again that the Pats  know how to find draft gems at the bottom of the first round. Titans  kick returner Marc Mariani amassed 1411 yards and one score on 56  kickoff returns this year. He also added 322 yards and a score on 25  punt returns.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>The QB selections shouldn\'t surprise anyone. The AFC\'s picks include Brady, Manning and Rivers. Vick, Ryan and Brees will represent the AFC. Solid groups for both squads. Vick and Brady were neck-in-neck as consensus MVP picks before the Eagles fell flat against the Vikings in last night\'s Tuesday Night Football upset. Brady should lock up his second MVP award without much debate.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Lots of newcomers made the Pro Bowl this year. The NFC is sending seven first-time selections to the Pro Bowl. The AFC is sending 14 fresh faces.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Texans WR Andre Johnson likely won\'t play in the Pro Bowl. I think Steelers receiver Mike Wallace should get some consideration when the league looks to fill that spot.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>The Pro Bowl just isn\'t big enough to include every awesome player in the league. Notable snubs this year include guys like Aaron Rodgers (101.9 QB rating, 3693 passing yards) and Matt Cassel (27 TDs to 5 INTs), Chris Johnson (1325 yards, 11 TDs), Peyton Hillis (1164 yards, 11 TDs) and LeSean McCoy (over 1000 yards rushing,  leads all RBs with 78 catches for 592 yards), LaMarr Woodley (8.5 sacks, 3 forced fumbles and 2 INTs), Derrick Johnson (116 tackles, 4 forced fumbles) and Shaun Phillips (11 sacks). It\'s hard to argue against the selections at QB, RB and LB for either squad though.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Is DeAngelo Hall worthy of a trip to Honolulu? I know he\'s got six interceptions, but it seems like the guy gets burned a bunch.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Old timers like Packers CB Charles Woodson and OT Chad Clifton made the NFC squad on reputation this year.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Tony Gonzalez has been ridiculous for years, but this season the future Hall of Fame tight end didn\'t do a damn thing. We broke 100-yards just once (in Week 3), and he only had three weeks where he delivered double-digits fantasy points. He\'s just not the same guy. Useful, sure, but no longer worthy of being named an elite, All-Star-type player.</li>\r\n</ul>\r\nHere\'s the complete list:\r\n<table border=\"1\" cellspacing=\"0\" cellpadding=\"0\" width=\"599\">\r\n<tbody>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\">\r\n<h2><strong>AFC   Offense</strong></h2>\r\n</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\">\r\n<h2><strong>NFC   Offense</strong></h2>\r\n</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Quarterbacks</strong>\r\n\r\nTom Brady, New England\r\n\r\nPhilip Rivers, San Diego\r\n\r\nPeyton Manning, Indianapolis</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Quarterbacks</strong>\r\n\r\nMichael Vick, Philadelphia\r\n\r\nMatt Ryan, Atlanta\r\n\r\nDrew Brees, New Orleans</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Running Backs</strong>\r\n\r\nMaurice Jones-Drew, Jacksonville\r\n\r\nArian Foster, Houston\r\n\r\nJamaal Charles, Kansas City</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Running Backs</strong>\r\n\r\nMichael Turner, Atlanta\r\n\r\nAdrian Peterson, Minnesota\r\n\r\nSteven Jackson, St. Louis</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fullback</strong>\r\n\r\nVonta Leach, Houston</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Fullback</strong>\r\n\r\nOvie Mughelli, Atlanta</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wide Receivers</strong>\r\n\r\nAndre Johnson, Houston\r\n\r\nReggie Wayne, Indianapolis\r\n\r\nBrandon Lloyd, Denver\r\n\r\nDwayne Bowe, Kansas City</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Wide Receivers</strong>\r\n\r\nRoddy White, Atlanta\r\n\r\nCalvin Johnson, Detroit\r\n\r\nDeSean Jackson, Philadelphia\r\n\r\nGreg Jennings, Green Bay</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tight Ends</strong>\r\n\r\nAntonio Gates, San Diego\r\n\r\nMarcedes Lewis, Jacksonville</td>\r\n<td width=\"300\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Tight Ends</strong>\r\n\r\nJason Witten, Dallas\r\n\r\nTony Gonzalez, Atlanta</td>\r\n</tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"299\" valign=\"top\"><strong>Centers</strong>\r\n\r\nNick Mangold, N.Y.

That nasty combo of headache, nausea and gut-pain can be cost you precious hours of your life.  While there are certainly preventative measures you can take to reduce the likelihood of a hangover (headache medication, food, lots of water before bed, etc.), inevitably you’re going to get stuck with a dirty hangover that you need to crush before it kills your day. Here are 11 awesome hangover cures that you can turn to when you need to ease the pain.\r\n<h2>11. Ginger</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2157\" title=\"Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Ginger_Peach_Iced_Tea.a.zoom_.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nGinger is an all-purpose digestive aid. You can eat it with sushi, drink some ginger tea or mix ginger juice with water for a nausea-reducing elixir that’ll balance your gastric fluids and calm your system. This powerful antioxidant and anticoagulant can work wonders, but don’t consume fresh ginger on an empty stomach. Mix it up with something else.\r\n<h2>10. Honey</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2158\" title=\"honey\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/honey.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nHoney is a great antioxidant that’s loaded with fructose and glucose. In Poland, people mix honey in with pickle juice for a hydrating, salty hangover-recovery treat. If the idea of honey pickle juice sounds foul to you, just take a couple table spoons of the magic bee sauce and enjoy the fresh coat of healing goodness.\r\n<h2>9. Prickly Pear</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2159\" title=\"prickly_pear_bud_235\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/prickly_pear_bud_235.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nFor desert drunks, the prickly pear is a solid morning option that’ll help take the edge off the hurt. The extract from the prickly pear cactus can help reduce nausea, loss of appetite and dry mouth. You can find prickly pear extract in a bunch of different dietary supplements.\r\n<h2>8. Eggs</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2168\" title=\"eggs\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/eggs1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nYep, eggs. Eggs have cysteine in ‘em. Cysteine is an awesome amino acid that breaks down acetaldehyde, a toxin that’s a byproduct of the oxidation of ethanol. Acetaldehyde causes hangovers and eggs break down the acetaldehyde. So get over the fact that you don’t want breakfast and scramble that hangover out of your system.\r\n<h2>7. Coca Cola</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2169\" title=\"coca-cola-can\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/coca-cola-can.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nOh the sweet, sweet nectar of Coca Cola can do wonders for a messed up belly. Some say that Coca Cola was <a href=\"http://www.hamshrn.org/hangovercures/ \" target=\"_blank\">originally invented as a hangover cure</a>. I don’t know about all that, but whether you’ve eaten a big meal or you need to turn down the volume down in your stomach, a cold Coke just feels good.\r\n<h2>6. Greasy Diner Breakfast</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2162\" title=\"dennys_grand-slamwich-v3\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/dennys_grand-slamwich-v3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nWhether you’re pounding pancakes at IHOP, feasting on French toast at Norm’s or plowing through Moons Over My Hammy at <a href=\"http://www.dennys.com/en/page.aspx?ID=1\" target=\"_blank\">Denny’s</a>, greasy-ass diner food will help you booze-coated belly correct itself. Greasy food sticks to the stomach wall and help slow down the process of alcohol absorption. That’s not to say that you won’t feel like trash afterward, but it’ll be a different kind of trash – a much more manageable form of discomfort. If you have the chance to close the night out with some greasy food, that’s a solid hangover prevention method, but if you miss the prevention window, reach for some bacon in the morning.\r\n<h2>5. Gatorade + Banana</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2163\" title=\"gatorade + banana\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/gatorade-+-banana.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nElectrolytes. You need ‘em, man. When you’re recovering from a night of drunken excess, you’re bound to end up dehydrated. Drinking lots of water helps, yes, but a steady stream of electrolytes will hydrate you more quickly. Your hung-over body also needs an influx of Vitamin B and potassium. Drinking alcohol drains your levels of Vitamins B6 and B12. Bananas will calm your gut-hurt and expedite the metabolism of alcohol.\r\n<h2>4. Bloody Mary</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2164\" title=\"bloody mary\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/bloody-mary.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nIf you’re head is pounding and your stomach is sloshed with whatever god-awful combo of drinks you consumed last night, drinking more sounds like the last thing you wanna do. But more booze can actually help you right the ship. A nice breakfast cocktail like a Bloody Mary can serve the dual purpose of a breakfast and hangover remedy. This is a great option if food consumption is totally out of the question, and the tomato juice will help you metabolize alcohol more quickly.\r\n<h2>3. Pho</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2165\" title=\"pho1\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/pho1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nVietnamese rice noodles with broth and beef (or tripe or chicken) will hydrate you and fill your gut with a nice layer of nutrition, exfoliation and toxin-fighting spices. Don’t go too crazy with the hot sauce though. Under normal circumstances, unreasonable amounts of <a href=\"http://www.panix.com/~clay/cookbook/images/sriracha-sauce.jpg \" target=\"_blank\">Sriracha</a> in your Pho would be a great idea, but when you’re dealing with a tender tummy, you gotta keep it mellow. Add some lime, basil, sweet Hoison sauce, cilantro, onions and bean sprouts, and go to town with a soup spoon and chopsticks in hand.\r\n<h2>2. Pad Thai</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2166\" title=\"big_padthai2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/big_padthai2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nMore rice noodle love here. Pad Thai will fill that void in your stomach with a tender helping of noodles, eggs, tamarind juice and some light protein like shrimp, chicken or tofu. I don’t know the science behind it, but it works like a charm.\r\n<h2>1. Matzo Ball Soup</h2>\r\n<img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2170\" title=\"MatzohBallSoup_9_Katzs2_-_Version_2\" src=\"http://manjr.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/MatzohBallSoup_9_Katzs2_-_Version_2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" />\r\n\r\nThe medicinal healing powers of the matzo ball have been well documented throughout history. Known as <a href=\"http://www.jewishpenicillin.com/\" target=\"_blank\">Jewish penicillin</a>, matzo ball soup can kill a hangover, eliminate pink eye and in some cases, even cure cancer. Embrace the power of the matzo. It’s the most comfortable comfort food ever invented.\r\n<strong>\r\nHonorable Mention List:</strong>\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Borscht</li>\r\n	<li> Tom Yum Soup</li>\r\n	<li> Menudo</li>\r\n	<li> Haejangguk</li>\r\n</ul>','11 Awesome Hangover Cures','','inherit','open','open','','2156-revision-11','','','2010-10-22 10:26:46','2010-10-22 17:26:46','',2156,'http://manjr.com/2010/uncategorized/2156-revision-11/',0,'revision','',0),(3354,10,'2011-01-04 11:42:13','0000-00-00 00:00:00','Everyone loves cleavage. We certainly do. But the sight of two breasts can be a double-edged sword. Stare too long and you get in trouble. Look too little and you miss out. When quality cleave is on display, it makes you want to stop time for an extended stare of booby-mush. But sadly, us dudes don’t have the ability to stop time. We’re left with crooked glance tactics like the photographic-neck-whip snapshot, the I’m-just-looking-for-someone-over-there shifty peek, and of course, the reflective surface bounce-look.\r\n\r\nSociety tells us it’s wrong to look, but the shirt cut says a gaze is a must. We can’t help it really. We’re hard-wired to love boobs, and nothing’s more distracting than the supple intersection of two gorgeous breasts.\r\n\r\nAt MANjr, we\'re not ashamed of our appreciation for booby neighbors. We should celebrate the cleave on the regular. We should applaud those happy few who display the best cleavage of the year.\r\n\r\nThe following list contains breast sets of all sizes. We tried to include some variety; fit busts, grand canyons, subtle cleave, after-market add-ons and all-natural sweater puppy pairings. The selection factors are all highly subjective, but we feel like we know good cleavage when we see it. Overall hotness certainly plays a factor. You’re not gonna find any goat-faced girls with fantastic racks on this list.\r\n\r\nSo without further ado, here are the winners for best cleavage 2010.\r\n<h2><strong>50. Layle Kayleigh</strong></h2>\r\nNerds love her, and we do too. The former G4 babe is of Middle Eastern, European and African descent.  Just a good mix all around.\r\n<h2><strong>49. Penelope Cruz</strong></h2>\r\nShe’s still got it.\r\n<h2><strong>48. Emmanuelle Chriqui</strong></h2>\r\nShe’s underused in Entourage, but she makes up for it by topping sexy lists like AskMen’s Most Desirable Women of 2010.\r\n<h2><strong>47. Nicole Sherzinger</strong></h2>\r\nThis Pussycat Doll is a Maxim list staple for good reason. Smokin’ bod, gorgeous face and yea, victory cleave.\r\n<h2><strong>46. Jennifer Aniston</strong></h2>\r\nWait, what? Aniston made the list? Indeed she did. If you were forced to sit through <em>The Bounty Hunter</em>, Aniston’s painful rom-com flick with Gerald Butler, at least you got to see Aniston bouncing around in that top they gave her.\r\n\r\n<strong>45. Roselyn Sanchez</strong>\r\n\r\nThe pride of Puerto Rico, Sanchez didn’t really have a big year in 2010, but what the hell did you accomplish last year?\r\n<h2><strong>44. Dania Ramirez</strong></h2>\r\nWe didn’t buy into the whole Turtle love interest thing on Entourage, but we’re sold on Dania’s upper body assets.\r\n<h2><strong>43. Kate Beckinsale</strong></h2>\r\nDrop dead gorgeous with subversive subtle cleave. Win.\r\n<h2><strong>41. Kim Kardashian</strong></h2>\r\nShe has no talent and she used to be hotter. She’s in a race against time to change her half-Armenian face into a full-Asian one.  Don’t know what that’s about, but she’s got junk in the trunk and rubbish in the headlights, so yea, she made it.\r\n<h2><strong>41. Candice Swanepoel</strong></h2>\r\nThere are a ton of Victoria Secret types on this list, but for good reason. Candice proves that bigger busts don’t always win. Sometimes fit cleave can work wonders.\r\n<h2><strong>40. Megan Fox</strong></h2>\r\nShe looks a bit more worn than she did a year or two ago, but that cleave can’t be denied inclusion on this list.\r\n<h2><strong>39. Alice Eve</strong></h2>\r\n<strong> </strong>This chick is definitely out of your league.\r\n<h2><strong>38. Elisabetta Canalis</strong></h2>\r\nOh I wish that I had Clooney’s girl… Why can’t I find a woman who spells her name like that?\r\n<h2><strong>37. Sarah Shahi</strong></h2>\r\nA Persian dad and Spanish mom combined to produce super-sexy Aahoo Jahansouz, also known as Sarah Shahi. Cute face, perky pillows, plus, she was in Old School, so that’s an added bonus.\r\n<h2><strong>36. Lucy Pinder</strong></h2>\r\nScore one for the Grand Canyon bracket of our super cleave tourney.\r\n<h2><strong>35. Minka Kelly</strong></h2>\r\n<strong> </strong>Derek Jeter was on to something here. Minka Kelly is ridiculously good looking. She took home Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive crown in 2010, and she’s gonna be featured in lists like this for a long, long time.\r\n<h2><strong>34. Abbey Clancy</strong></h2>\r\nBusty and British, Abbey was No.10 on FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2010 list. She’s engaged to the extremely goofy-looking Peter Crouch, proving again that with great athleticism leads to great cleave.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<h2><strong>33. Halle Berry</strong></h2>\r\nWhy else would you watch Swordfish?\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<h2><strong>32. Gina Carano</strong></h2>\r\nCarano will beat the snot out of you for checking out her cleave. It could be worth it though. I mean this chick is just way too cute. If you have the opportunity for in-person gawking, take an extended glance and the beat down that comes with it.\r\n<h2><strong>31. Holly Weber</strong></h2>\r\n<strong> </strong>So what if it’s all man-made. Weber’s artificial cleave still deserves some props.\r\n<h2><strong>30. Olivia Munn</strong></h2>\r\nShe’s cute as hell and she’s got the nerdy cleave factor as well. She’s not all that funny on The Daily Show, but who cares?\r\n<h2><strong>29. Beyonce</strong></h2>\r\nI’m 100 percent not ready for that jelly. Her body may be bootylicious, but it’s her bosom junction that always catches our eyes.  Beyonce’s set strikes a great balance. Not too perky, not too saggy. Not too large, not too small. Not too distant, not too smashed. Just the perfect pairing of two great breasts.\r\n<h2><strong>28. Maria Menounos</strong></h2>\r\nShe’s just adorable. And her cleave has this friendly, extra-approachable vibe.\r\n<h2><strong>27. Jessica Alba</strong></h2>\r\nAlba may want to tone down her sexiness, but that’s an impossible act of madness. If there’s a list that involves hotness, Alba will be on it.\r\n<h2><strong>26. Moon Bloodgood</strong></h2>\r\nI haven’t seen this chick in a good movie yet, but her boobie border can steal any show.\r\n<h2><strong>25. Cheryl Cole</strong></h2>\r\nThose dimples say wholesome, but those after-market bumpers suggest otherwise. She divorced England footballer Ashley Cole in September 2010, so she’s on the market, fellas.\r\n<h2><strong>24. Mariah Carey</strong></h2>\r\nOh man, those golden globes have their own gravitational pull! And if she’s pregnant, then what? Will it force a realignment of the Earth’s magnetic poles? Will the new South Pole be in Wisconsin? Only the Mayans know.\r\n<h2><strong>23. Eva Mendez</strong></h2>\r\nShe gets hotter with age. We just have to sit back and watch it all unfold in different Nic Cage movies.\r\n<h2><strong>22. Christina Aguilera </strong></h2>\r\nAnother chest champion who’s recently single. We’re not saying we like her music, but we like how she shows off her chest champs.\r\n<h2><strong>21. Brooke Burke</strong></h2>\r\nShe’s a mother of four and she’s been sporting some of the best cleavage in the world for the past decade.\r\n<h2><strong>20. Joanna Krupa</strong></h2>\r\nJust a great combination of fit boob and undeniable sexiness.\r\n<h2><strong>19. Monica Bellucci</strong></h2>\r\nDude, she’s 46 years old and she\'s still rockin\' those gravity defying tatas to cleave perfection. Go Netflix some of her foreign films and thank us later.\r\n<h2><strong>18. Katy Perry</strong></h2>\r\nSure, she’s hip, tacky and cute as a button, but rest assured, Katy Perry wouldn’t be Katy Perry without Katy Perry’s cleavage. Homegirl can push those things right up to her neck. It’s worse when she wears those latex getups, too. It’s like trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Can’t do it. Won’t do it.\r\n<h2><strong>17. Christina Hendricks</strong></h2>\r\nThis lovely redhead has a buxom intersection that can house a family of five. Seriously, you can swim that canal for weeks on end you motorboatin’ summabitch. She brought curvy back and we celebrate her for it.\r\n<h2><strong>16. Larissa Riquelme</strong></h2>\r\nDuring the World Cup, Larissa’s rack became so popular that AXE bought ad space on her Uruguayan cleavage. Plus, she started the whole cell phone in the boobs craze.\r\n<h2><strong>15. Kelly Brook</strong></h2>\r\nHottest girl of the summer? Check. Seeing that cleave in 3D was well worth the price of admission to Piranha.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<h2><strong>14. Denise Milani</strong></h2>\r\nShe speaks Czech, Russian, German, Polish, Italian and English. Plus, just imagine how happy your holidays would be with Milani at your Christmas tree.\r\n<h2><strong>13. Miranda Kerr</strong></h2>\r\nAs if that face wasn’t enough, God crafted two perfect breasts to cap off this insane, supermodel package. Good on you Orlando Bloom, good on you.\r\n<h2><strong>12. Adrianna Lima</strong></h2>\r\nIt takes a special set of skills to sport a $2 million bra and not have anyone notice the jewels, but this Victoria Secret model can pull it off no problem.\r\n<h2><strong>11. Salma Hayek</strong></h2>\r\nSelma Hayek’s amazing cleave is like the one true constant in the universe. That amazing rack has been on full display since the mid-90s and those two touching puppies are showing no signs of slowing down. Hayek’s going to be showcasing off her brilliant fun bags for years to come.\r\n<h2><strong>10. Gisele Bundchen</strong></h2>\r\nMrs. Tom Brady had a good year. She pulled off the always tricky feat of being a new mom and the highest paid model in the world. She’s a complete package, but she gets bonus points for perfect breasts.\r\n<h2><strong>9. Jennifer Love Hewitt</strong></h2>\r\nJLH isn’t getting any younger, so there could be a time when she doesn’t make this list. This is not that time. With her fine work in the Lifetime original movie <em>The Client List</em>, Hewitt’s spot remains secure.\r\n<h2><strong>8. Alessandra Ambrosio</strong></h2>\r\nShe’s Brazilian and we love her. Boobs like that could only come from South America.\r\n\r\n<strong> </strong>\r\n<h2><strong>7. Keely Hazell</strong></h2>\r\nAnother British bombshell with the heavy artillery to defend the Empire.\r\n<h2><strong>6. Shay Maria</strong></h2>\r\nYes, you’ve seen those boobs before. Maria’s a model that became an Internet sensation with her massive melons and epic cleaveary.\r\n<h2><strong>5. Sofia Vergara</strong></h2>\r\nVergara is a pillow fight waiting to happen.\r\n<h2><strong>4. Brooklyn Decker</strong></h2>\r\nNot content with magazine covers and Swimsuit Issues, Brooklyn  Decker’s cleavage is starring in an upcoming Adam Sandler movie. It’s a  shame her breasts didn’t get top billing. Her cleave will definitely  carry that film.\r\n<h2><strong>3. Arianny Celeste</strong></h2>\r\nThis UFC ring chick expanded her exposure outside of the Octagon this year. She appeared in Playboy and Maxim and dude, just look at her.\r\n<h2><strong>2. Marisa Miller</strong></h2>\r\nWe love Marisa Miller. She dominated our best bikini body post. She  giggled when we asked her about her love for cooking and doing laundry.  Marisa Miller just owns lists like this because she must.\r\n<h2><strong>1. Scarlett Johansson</strong></h2>\r\nYou knew that ScarJo’s breast-convergence would rank at the top of the list. I mean look at those things. Just look at ‘em. Unreal. Put those two together in a red dress and you got the makings of ultimate power.\r\n\r\nBoobies on the Bubble:\r\n<ul>\r\n	<li>Hayden Panettiere</li>\r\n	<li>Rachel Bilson</li>\r\n	<li>Mary-Louise Parker</li>\r\n	<li>Allison Brie</li>\r\n	<li>Isla Fisher</li>\r\n	<li>Eliza Dushku</li>\r\n	<li>Diane Kruger</li>\r\n	<li>Erin Andrews</li>\r\n	<li>January Jones</li>\r\n	<li>Camilla Belle</li>\r\n	<li>Marisa Tomei</li>\r\n	<li>Lindsay Lohan</li>\r\n	<li>Blake Lively</li>\r\n	<li>Helen Mirren</li>\r\n	<li>Emily Scott</li>\r\n</ul>','Best Cleavage 2010','','draft','open','open','','','','','2011-01-04 11:42:13','2011-01-04 19:42:13','',0,'http://manjr.com/?p=3354',0,'post','',0),(3355,2,'2011-01-04 10:01:06','2011-01-04 18:01:06','Everyone loves cleavage. We certainly do. But the sight of two breasts can be a double-edged sword. Stare too long and you get in trouble. Look too little and you miss out. When quality cleave is on display, it makes you want to stop time for an extended stare of booby-mush. But sadly, us dudes don’t have the ability to stop time. We’re left with crooked glance tactics like the photographic-neck-whip snapshot, the I’m-just-looking-for-someone-over-there shifty peek, and of course, the reflective surface bounce-look.\n\nSociety tells us it’s wrong to look, but the shirt cut says a gaze is a must. We can’t help it really. We’re hard-wired to love boobs, and nothing’s more distracting than the supple intersection of two gorgeous breasts.\n\nAt MANjr, we\'re not ashamed of our appreciation for booby neighbors. We should celebrate the cleave on the regular. We should applaud those happy few who display the best cleavage of the year.\n\nThe following list contains breast sets of all sizes. We tried to include some variety; fit busts, grand canyons, subtle cleave, after-market add-ons and all-natural sweater puppy pairings. The selection factors are all highly subjective, but we feel like we know good cleavage when we see it. Overall hotness certainly plays a factor. You’re not gonna find any goat-faced girls with fantastic racks on this list.\n\nSo without further ado, here are the winners for best cleavage 2010.\n<h2><strong>50. Layle Kayleigh</strong></h2>\nNerds love her, and we do too. The former G4 babe is of Middle Eastern, European and African descent.  Just a good mix all around.\n<h2><strong>49. Penelope Cruz</strong></h2>\nShe’s still got it.\n<h2><strong>48. Emmanuelle Chriqui</strong></h2>\nShe’s underused in Entourage, but she makes up for it by topping sexy lists like AskMen’s Most Desirable Women of 2010.\n<h2><strong>47. Nicole Sherzinger</strong></h2>\nThis Pussycat Doll is a Maxim list staple for good reason. Smokin’ bod, gorgeous face and yea, victory cleave.\n<h2><strong>46.

If you were forced to sit through <em>The Bounty Hunter</em>, Aniston’s painful rom-com flick with Gerald Butler, at least you got to see Aniston bouncing around in that top they gave her.\n\n<strong>45.

Won’t do it.\n<h2><strong>17. Christina Hendricks</strong></h2>\nThis lovely redhead has a buxom intersection that can house a family of five. Seriously, you can swim that canal for weeks on end you motorboatin’ summabitch. She brought curvy back and we celebrate her for it.\n<h2><strong>16. Larissa Riquelme</strong></h2>\nDuring the World Cup, Larissa’s rack became so popular that AXE bought ad space on her Uruguayan cleavage. Plus, she started the whole cell phone in the boobs craze.\n<h2><strong>15. Kelly Brook</strong></h2>\nHottest girl of the summer? Check. Seeing that cleave in 3D was well worth the price of admission to Piranha.\n\n<strong> </strong>\n<h2><strong>14. Denise Milani</strong></h2>\nShe speaks Czech, Russian, German, Polish, Italian and English. Plus, just imagine how happy your holidays would be with Milani at your Christmas tree.\n<h2><strong>13. Miranda Kerr</strong></h2>\nAs if that face wasn’t enough, God crafted two perfect breasts to cap off this insane, supermodel package. Good on you Orlando Bloom, good on you.\n<h2><strong>12. Adrianna Lima</strong></h2>\nIt takes a special set of skills to sport a $2 million bra and not have anyone notice the jewels, but this Victoria Secret model can pull it off no problem.\n<h2><strong>11. Salma Hayek</strong></h2>\nSelma Hayek’s amazing cleave is like the one true constant in the universe. That amazing rack has been on full display since the mid-90s and those two touching puppies are showing no signs of slowing down. Hayek’s going to be showcasing off her brilliant fun bags for years to come.\n<h2><strong>10. Gisele Bundchen</strong></h2>\nMrs. Tom Brady had a good year. She pulled off the always tricky feat of being a new mom and the highest paid model in the world. She’s a complete package, but she gets bonus points for perfect breasts.\n<h2><strong>9. Jennifer Love Hewitt</strong></h2>\nJLH isn’t getting any younger, so there could be a time when she doesn’t make this list. This is not that time. With her fine work in the Lifetime original movie <em>The Client List</em>, Hewitt’s spot remains secure.\n<h2><strong>8. Alessandra Ambrosio</strong></h2>\nShe’s Brazilian and we love her. Boobs like that could only come from South America.\n\n<strong> </strong>\n<h2><strong>7. Keely Hazell</strong></h2>\nAnother British bombshell with the heavy artillery to defend the Empire.\n<h2><strong>6. Shay Maria</strong></h2>\nYes, you’ve seen those boobs before. Maria’s a model that became an Internet sensation with her massive melons and epic cleaveary.\n<h2><strong>5. Sofia Vergara</strong></h2>\nVergara is a pillow fight waiting to happen.\n<h2><strong>4. Brooklyn Decker</strong></h2>\nNot content with magazine covers and Swimsuit Issues, Brooklyn  Decker’s cleavage is starring in an upcoming Adam Sandler movie. It’s a  shame her breasts didn’t get top billing. Her cleave will definitely  carry that film.\n<h2><strong>3. Arianny Celeste</strong></h2>\nThis UFC ring chick expanded her exposure outside of the Octagon this year. She appeared in Playboy and Maxim and dude, just look at her.\n<h2><strong>2. Marisa Miller</strong></h2>\nWe love Marisa Miller. She dominated our best bikini body post. She  giggled when we asked her about her love for cooking and doing laundry.  Marisa Miller just owns lists like this because she must.\n<h2><strong>1. Scarlett Johansson</strong></h2>\nYou knew that ScarJo’s breast-convergence would rank at the top of the list. I mean look at those things. Just look at ‘em. Unreal. Put those two together in a red dress and you got the makings of ultimate power.\n\nBoobies on the Bubble:\n<ul>\n	<li>Hayden Panettiere</li>\n	<li>Rachel Bilson</li>\n	<li>Mary-Louise Parker</li>\n	<li>Allison Brie</li>\n	<li>Isla Fisher</li>\n	<li>Eliza Dushku</li>\n	<li>Diane Kruger</li>\n	<li>Erin Andrews</li>\n	<li>January Jones</li>\n	<li>Camilla Belle</li>\n	<li>Marisa Tomei</li>\n	<li>Lindsay Lohan</li>\n	<li>Blake Lively</li>\n	<li>Helen Mirren</li>\n	<li>Emily Scott</li>\n</ul>','Best Cleavage 2010','','inherit','open','open','','3354-revision-2','','','2011-01-04 10:04:40','2011-01-04 18:04:40','',3354,'http://manjr.com/2011/uncategorized/3354-revision-2/',0,'revision','',0),(3357,2,'2011-01-04 11:22:14','2011-01-04 19:22:14','I caught this on <a href=\"http://www.boingboing.net/2011/01/03/a-tour-of-undergroun.html\" target=\"_blank\">boing boing</a> yesterday.

We certainly do. But the sight of two breasts can be a double-edged sword. Stare too long and you get in trouble. Look too little and you miss out. When quality cleave is on display, it makes you want to stop time for an extended stare of booby-mush. But sadly, us dudes don’t have the ability to stop time. We’re left with crooked glance tactics like the photographic-neck-whip snapshot, the I’m-just-looking-for-someone-over-there shifty peek, and of course, the reflective surface bounce-look.\n\nSociety tells us it’s wrong to look, but the shirt cut says a gaze is a must. We can’t help it really. We’re hard-wired to love boobs, and nothing’s more distracting than the supple intersection of two gorgeous breasts.\n\nAt MANjr, we\'re not ashamed of our appreciation for booby neighbors. We should celebrate the cleave on the regular. We should applaud those happy few who display the best cleavage of the year.\n\nThe following list contains breast sets of all sizes. We tried to include some variety; fit busts, grand canyons, subtle cleave, after-market add-ons and all-natural sweater puppy pairings. The selection factors are all highly subjective, but we feel like we know good cleavage when we see it. Overall hotness certainly plays a factor. You’re not gonna find any goat-faced girls with fantastic racks on this list.\n\nSo without further ado, here are the winners for best cleavage 2010.\n<h2><strong>50. Layle Kayleigh</strong></h2>\nNerds love her, and we do too. The former G4 babe is of Middle Eastern, European and African descent.  Just a good mix all around.\n<h2><strong>49. Penelope Cruz</strong></h2>\nShe’s still got it.\n<h2><strong>48. Emmanuelle Chriqui</strong></h2>\nShe’s underused in Entourage, but she makes up for it by topping sexy lists like AskMen’s Most Desirable Women of 2010.\n<h2><strong>47. Nicole Sherzinger</strong></h2>\nThis Pussycat Doll is a Maxim list staple for good reason. Smokin’ bod, gorgeous face and yea, victory cleave.\n<h2><strong>46. Jennifer Aniston</strong></h2>\nWait, what? Aniston made the list? Indeed she did. If you were forced to sit through <em>The Bounty Hunter</em>, Aniston’s painful rom-com flick with Gerald Butler, at least you got to see Aniston bouncing around in that top they gave her.\n\n<strong>45. Roselyn Sanchez</strong>\n\nThe pride of Puerto Rico, Sanchez didn’t really have a big year in 2010, but what the hell did you accomplish last year?\n<h2><strong>44. Dania Ramirez</strong></h2>\nWe didn’t buy into the whole Turtle love interest thing on Entourage, but we’re sold on Dania’s upper body assets.\n<h2><strong>43. Kate Beckinsale</strong></h2>\nDrop dead gorgeous with subversive subtle cleave. Win.\n<h2><strong>41. Kim Kardashian</strong></h2>\nShe has no talent and she used to be hotter. She’s in a race against time to change her half-Armenian face into a full-Asian one.  Don’t know what that’s about, but she’s got junk in the trunk and rubbish in the headlights, so yea, she made it.\n<h2><strong>41. Candice Swanepoel</strong></h2>\nThere are a ton of Victoria Secret types on this list, but for good reason. Candice proves that bigger busts don’t always win. Sometimes fit cleave can work wonders.\n<h2><strong>40. Megan Fox</strong></h2>\nShe looks a bit more worn than she did a year or two ago, but that cleave can’t be denied inclusion on this list.\n<h2><strong>39. Alice Eve</strong></h2>\n<strong> </strong>This chick is definitely out of your league.\n<h2><strong>38. Elisabetta Canalis</strong></h2>\nOh I wish that I had Clooney’s girl… Why can’t I find a woman who spells her name like that?\n<h2><strong>37. Sarah Shahi</strong></h2>\nA Persian dad and Spanish mom combined to produce super-sexy Aahoo Jahansouz, also known as Sarah Shahi. Cute face, perky pillows, plus, she was in Old School, so that’s an added bonus.\n<h2><strong>36. Lucy Pinder</strong></h2>\nScore one for the Grand Canyon bracket of our super cleave tourney.\n<h2><strong>35. Minka Kelly</strong></h2>\n<strong> </strong>Derek Jeter was on to something here. Minka Kelly is ridiculously good looking. She took home Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive crown in 2010, and she’s gonna be featured in lists like this for a long, long time.\n<h2><strong>34. Abbey Clancy</strong></h2>\nBusty and British, Abbey was No.10 on FHM’s 100 Sexiest Women in the World 2010 list. She’s engaged to the extremely goofy-looking Peter Crouch, proving again that with great athleticism leads to great cleave.\n\n<strong> </strong>\n<h2><strong>33. Halle Berry</strong></h2>\nWhy else would you watch Swordfish?\n\n<strong> </strong>\n<h2><strong>32. Gina Carano</strong></h2>\nCarano will beat the snot out of you for checking out her cleave. It could be worth it though. I mean this chick is just way too cute. If you have the opportunity for in-person gawking, take an extended glance and the beat down that comes with it.\n<h2><strong>31. Holly Weber</strong></h2>\n<strong> </strong>So what if it’s all man-made. Weber’s artificial cleave still deserves some props.\n<h2><strong>30. Olivia Munn</strong></h2>\nShe’s cute as hell and she’s got the nerdy cleave factor as well. She’s not all that funny on The Daily Show, but who cares?\n<h2><strong>29. Beyonce</strong></h2>\nI’m 100 percent not ready for that jelly. Her body may be bootylicious, but it’s her bosom junction that always catches our eyes.  Beyonce’s set strikes a great balance. Not too perky, not too saggy. Not too large, not too small. Not too distant, not too smashed. Just the perfect pairing of two great breasts.\n<h2><strong>28. Maria Menounos</strong></h2>\nShe’s just adorable. And her cleave has this friendly, extra-approachable vibe.\n<h2><strong>27. Jessica Alba</strong></h2>\nAlba may want to tone down her sexiness, but that’s an impossible act of madness. If there’s a list that involves hotness, Alba will be on it.\n<h2><strong>26. Moon Bloodgood</strong></h2>\nI haven’t seen this chick in a good movie yet, but her boobie border can steal any show.\n<h2><strong>25. Cheryl Cole</strong></h2>\nThose dimples say wholesome, but those after-market bumpers suggest otherwise. She divorced England footballer Ashley Cole in September 2010, so she’s on the market, fellas.\n<h2><strong>24. Mariah Carey</strong></h2>\nOh man, those golden globes have their own gravitational pull! And if she’s pregnant, then what? Will it force a realignment of the Earth’s magnetic poles? Will the new South Pole be in Wisconsin? Only the Mayans know.\n<h2><strong>23. Eva Mendez</strong></h2>\nShe gets hotter with age. We just have to sit back and watch it all unfold in different Nic Cage movies.\n<h2><strong>22. Christina Aguilera </strong></h2>\nAnother chest champion who’s recently single. We’re not saying we like her music, but we like how she shows off her chest champs.\n<h2><strong>21. Brooke Burke</strong></h2>\nShe’s a mother of four and she’s been sporting some of the best cleavage in the world for the past decade.\n<h2><strong>20. Joanna Krupa</strong></h2>\nJust a great combination of fit boob and undeniable sexiness.\n<h2><strong>19. Monica Bellucci</strong></h2>\nDude, she’s 46 years old and she\'s still rockin\' those gravity defying tatas to cleave perfection. Go Netflix some of her foreign films and thank us later.\n<h2><strong>18. Katy Perry</strong></h2>\nSure, she’s hip, tacky and cute as a button, but rest assured, Katy Perry wouldn’t be Katy Perry without Katy Perry’s cleavage. Homegirl can push those things right up to her neck. It’s worse when she wears those latex getups, too. It’s like trying to put the toothpaste back in the tube. Can’t do it. Won’t do it.\n<h2><strong>17. Christina Hendricks</strong></h2>\nThis lovely redhead has a buxom intersection that can house a family of five. Seriously, you can swim that canal for weeks on end you motorboatin’ summabitch. She brought curvy back and we celebrate her for it.\n<h2><strong>16.

Anything can happen in the NFL postseason, but the start of the playoffs also signals that the end is near. Soon, there won\'t be any more football on Sundays. You\'ll have no excuse to block off half your weekend for beers, TV and couch time. You\'ll have to start taking out your lady, going to family events, all kinds of nonsense like that. Might as well enjoy football while you still can. Do yourself a favor enjoy a Saturday and Sunday full of quality Wildcard action. Now on to the picks.\r\n\r\n<strong>New Orleans -10 At Seattle</strong>\r\nSeattle messed up my miracle parlay last week. Everything fell into place with Pittsburgh, Houston, Atlanta and Tampa Bay all covering. Then, the Rams walked into a a fired up home crowd and a surprisingly efficient Charlie Whitehurst. So thanks Seattle for cheating me out of a $400-plus payout. The Saints are banged up, but they still have Brees at the helm. He should do more damage against Seattle than Bradford and a group of wide receivers that couldn\'t catch a damn thing. The spread\'s high and I\'d like to give some respect to the Seahawks at home, but I can\'t do it. Hasselbeck\'s going to get pressured and Brees can create enough big passing plays to cover the wide margin.\r\nPick: Saints -10\r\n\r\n<strong>At Indianapolis -2.5 NY Jets</strong>\r\nThe Jets are a decent team. They beat the Steelers on the road and they rebounded from their late season losses with a strong showing last week. Still, I\'m not going to pick against Peyton Manning at home. Collie\'s gone, but the running game is coming up strong. The Jets will be able to move the ball on the Colts D, but as long as Manning doesn\'t have shifty-rattled playoff feet, he should be able to lead his team to victory.\r\nPick: Colts -2.5\r\n\r\n<strong>Baltimore-3 At Kansas City</strong>\r\nPlaying at Arrowhead\'s no easy task, but the Ravens can win playoff games on the road. Cassel\'s mistake-free season has gotten messy over the least couple games, and the Ravens offense hasn\'t really been lighting up opponents as of late. This is going to be a low scoring grinder game with Charles and Rice battling for tough yards on the ground. One big turnover should tip the scales, and with an extra-emotional Ed Reed on the field, the edge goes to the visiting team.\r\nPick: Ravens -3\r\n\r\n<strong>At Philadelphia -2.5 Green Bay</strong>\r\nVick will face the blitz and still make plays. But will he make mistakes as well? Vick needs to be smart with the ball and the Eagles need a heavy does of LeSean McCoy to keep Green Bay\'s defense honest. I think Aaron Rodgers is dialed in right now, and I like the Packers to edge out the Eagles in a high scoring game.\r\nPick: Packers +2.5\r\n\r\nLast week: 8-8\r\nSeason: 127-120-7','NFL Wildcard

When SoBe approached Jessica to do a skinsuit photo shoot to promote the launch of SoBe Lifewater with electrolytes, she jumped at the chance. When MANjr got asked to interview this stunning starlet, we jumped at the chance, too.\r\n\r\nSzohr traveled to Costa Rica for the SoBe Lifewater skinsuit photo shoot. Each skinsuit she wore required  11-plus hours or body paint application.
