Bobby Bowden Reinforces Racial Stereotypes Former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden was on ESPN’s Mike And Mike to discuss his new book and went on a tangent to talk about his experience visiting black parents. He talked about how only men can raise men and all that rhetoric, too. Oh boy. Bobby Bowden on players not having dads. “They wanna grow up to be men, like their momma. That's why they wear earrings.” pic.twitter.com/iBhUueqEqw — Dr Cork Gaines (@CorkGaines) January 4, 2017 The kicker here is him talking about how players want to wear earrings to be like their moms. This hasn’t gone over well. Hit the flip to see all the people calling him racist and even some people defending him.

The fact that someone got Snooki pregnant is truly a scary thought. Fortunately, it looks like the Jersey Shore star herself got the memo. According to those close to the MTV train wreck, she’s undergoing a major personal transformation , determined to become a responsible member of society who takes pregnancy and impending motherhood very, very seriously. It’s okay, you can laugh. We did. Sources close to Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi say that ever since discovered she was expecting her first child, she quit drinking, quit screwing around and convinced the people around her that she could not only handle it, but be ” mother of the year .” We’ll believe that when we see it. No offense Snook. Snooki does come from a loving family and despite being a total drunken promiscuous mess, understands what it takes to become a responsible mother. As far as her upcoming Jersey Shore spinoff goes? At least one baby store has agreed to let her film there, but don’t expect her life to continue to unfold in the public eye for too much longer. The premise of the spinoff with BFF JWoww is that it’s the girls’ “last hurrah.” The untitled show will follow the girls’ transition into adulthood – moving into an adult apartment, taking some serious adult steps with their boyfriends, etc. Speaking of which, Jionni LaValle is the father of her child. Supposedly. Snooki hasn’t confirmed the pregnancy, though the cat is out of the bag, and she’s with Jionni still … so it seems likely he’s the father. Likely. The boyfriends (Jionni and Roger Williams) will not have starring roles on the show … but the relationships will be “key.” So, there’s that.
Lamar Odom is on his way back to the NBA. The Dallas Mavericks star – who had volunteered to play a game in the D League in order to get back into shape after missing a week of action for personal reasons – will suit up tonight for a game against the Utah Jazz. And he has a lot to prove to Coach Rick Carlisle. “Our fans want to know that Lamar’s in,” Carlisle told ESPN Dallas 103.3. “Our players want to know that Lamar’s in. It’s not about how many points he’s scoring or rebounds; those things are a factor. Our fans, our players want to see the guy playing like his pants are on fire and we haven’t seen that so far and that’s got to change.” Don’t worry, though, Rick, Khloe Kardashian Tweeted late this week that she’s “putting fantastic vibes out into the universe. Vibes do your thing.” So everything will be fine.
