Um. OK. Judging by the parents, the lizard is George Costanza’s brother.

Sheriff Joe’s sign is flashing “Vacancy” above his outdoor jail, and one certainly gets the impression that America’s toughest lawman or its biggest publicity hound - take your pick - wouldn’t mind locking up someone famous before the week is out.

“I hear Paris Hilton is going to be in town,” Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio says. “She better behave herself. We’ll put her in one of our female tents and get her on one of our female chain gangs.”

Just to eliminate any confusion, he’s not talking about the chains used for measuring first downs on Super Bowl Sunday. These are the kind that bind together inmates before they are sent out to pick up trash along a busy highway, paint over graffiti or bury the indigent in the county cemetery.

It’s SuperBowl time again! Superbowl XLII is February 3rd and as always we look forward to the Television Commercials. Which ones will be funny, new or inspiring?

Here is a heads up on what you will see.

• Unilever’s Super Bowl ad for Sunsilk, which breaks during the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter. It’s the first global campaign for a brand known for often edgy and offbeat local ones.

Watch it here. Not too impressive.

• Pepsi Hopes to Make Killing With Monster Promo. A huge inflatable character will star in the Soft-drink giant’s biggest stuff push. This “Gift Monster” comes courtesy of Pepsi-Cola Co. to call attention to a Pepsi Stuff giveaway it’s touting as its biggest promotion ever.
• Four years after Nipplegate, Justin Timberlake is slipping back into the Super Bowl. Pepsi and Amazon are launching a $1 billion Pepsi Stuff “collect-and-get program” promotion, and the multi-talented performer has been tapped to promote it in a Super Bowl ad this February. It’s the first time Timberlake has appeared in the big game since a record-breaking $550,000 fine was imposed upon CBS for his and Janet Jackson’s infamous “wardrobe malfunction” during the halftime show in 2004.
• Anheuser-Busch plans to devote at least seven of its nine Super Bowl spots to Bud Light — believed to be the most ads ever placed behind a single brand in the big game.
• Hyundai Motor North America says it will use the ad time it has bought for the Super Bowl. Early last week, Hyundai said the weakening economy was giving it the jitters about using millions of dollars to buy Super Bowl ads and it was unsure if it would keep the two 30-second spots in the second half of the Feb. 3 game that it had purchased from Fox.
  Now Hyundai will be in the Big Game after all.
• Audi of America will tap into Paramount’s “Godfather” movie saga for its 60-second Super Bowl commercial, which will show off the sleek R8 sports car.
• After years on sideline, lingerie retailer Victoria’s Secret gets back in the game. For the first time since 1999, Victoria’s Secret has purchased a 30-second Super Bowl spot, which is slated to run once during the second half of the game. Executives at the Limited Brands unit declined to reveal what was spent on the buy, but Fox has sold spots for as much as $3 million for the Feb. 3 event.
• The white house drug office has Super Bowl plans. ONDCP Known for Stern, Humorless Spots During Big Game Filled With Kooky Ads. Get ready for a scolding about drug use when you’re most likely to be in a mood for humor, surprise and a couple of stiff drinks. The White House Office of National Drug Control Policy, which has a history of running grim, discomforting commercials during the joyous Super Bowl, is planning a return to the big game, according to people familiar with the situation.
• NFL Signs Bridgestone for Super Bowl Halftime Show. Bridgestone Firestone North America has inked a multi million-dollar deal with the National Football League to be the title sponsor of the next two Super Bowls, which will give the marketer a showcase during the halftime shows.

These are just a few of the commercials we will see. We are going to keep our eyes open to see what other commercials will air. But if you are like us, we would rather watch them live during the game than get a spoiler sneak preview.

Just posted on the AP.

Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling called on Roger Clemens to give up the four Cy Young Awards he’s won since 1997 if he can’t clear his name from allegations that he used steroids to prolong and enhance his career.

“If he doesn’t do that then there aren’t many options as a fan for me other than to believe his career 192 wins and three Cy Youngs he won prior to 1997 were the end,” Schilling wrote Wednesday in his blog, 38pitches.com. “From that point on the numbers were attained through using (performance-enhancing drugs). Just like I stated about Jose (Canseco), if that is the case with Roger, the four Cy Youngs should go to the rightful winners, and the numbers should go away if he cannot refute the accusations.”

Schilling noted in the 3,200-word posting that he was a fan of the seven-time Cy Young winner who owed much of his success to a stern talking-to he received from Clemens when Schilling was a prospect in the Boston system.

“His `undressing’ of me and lecture were a major turning point,” Schilling said. “I’ve always respected his career accomplishments and regarded him as the greatest pitcher to ever play the game.”

But, having called on Canseco to give up his 1988 AL MVP award, and noting also the unrefuted evidence against Barry Bonds, Schilling acknowledged he could not avoid questioning Clemens’ accomplishments, as well.

“Can you separate what Barry is accused of from what Roger is accused of?” Schilling said. “If … both of these men end up being caught, what does that say about this game, us as athletes and the future of the sport and our place in it? The greatest pitcher and greatest hitter of all time are currently both being implicated, one is being prosecuted, for events surrounding and involving the use of performance enhancing drugs. That (stinks). … The sport needs fixing.”

Clemens was the biggest name in the report by former Senate majority leader George Mitchell that detailed the widespread use of performance-enhancing drugs in baseball. Clemens has denied using performance-enhancing substances.

Schilling commended those who’ve apologized for using performance-enhancing drugs, and called on everyone accused to prove their innocence or apologize for their mistakes.

“The world is full of good to great people that have made mistakes of this magnitude or worse,” Schilling wrote. “These guys made mistakes, and I do mean mistakes. They didn’t accidentally do this, this was a conscious decision with far reaching implications and they should be held accountable.”

While calling Canseco’s “entire career, all of it, is a sham” and saying “he was never in his life a major league player,” Schilling also acknowledged that many of Canseco’s claims about other steroid users have been corroborated.

“He has broken the flood gates on a topic that went unspoken on for far too long,” Schilling said.

The runners-up in Clemens’ last four Cy Young-winning years were Randy Johnson (1997 and 2004), Pedro Martinez (1998) and Mark Mulder (2001).

Schilling was among those who testified in March 2005 to a U.S. House committee investigating steroids, along with Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa and Rafael Palmiero. The same committee has scheduled hearings for Jan. 15.

Clemens has not been asked to attend, though it’s possible that the committee could decide to ask Clemens or other players to appear that day - or at a future hearing, if there is one.

No matter what you think of Stephon Marbury, You have to feel for the problems he has encountered this year. With everything else going on just yesterday his father died.

(AP) reports that …..

Don Marbury, the father of Knicks point guard Stephon Marbury, died Sunday during the team’s home loss to the Phoenix Suns.

Team spokesman Jonathan Supranowitz said no other information was immediately available, other than that Don Marbury wasn’t at Madison Square Garden when he died.

Stephon Marbury was escorted out the arena by security shortly after the game.

Marbury has endured a tough first month of the season. His aunt, on his mother’s side of the family, died Nov. 19. Marbury said at the time he also had another recent death in his family.

He also left the team during a road trip when coach Isiah Thomas was considering removing him from the starting lineup. A New York native, Marbury has heard boos ever since then at Madison Square Garden.

Stephon, as a fan of yours from the Phoenix Suns days, we wish only the best for you and your family.

I am not sure why they are doing this, but these Korean teams have taught their boys how to fight without anyone getting hurt.

Maybe the MLB should take a tip from them.

The NBA might think about instituting this rule too!
