One of the upcoming Super Bowl Sunday commercials will feature Florida Gator standout Tim Tebow expressing his pro-life views. The spot is funded by the far right Christian conservative group called "Focus on the Family." In a preemptive response, Planned Parenthood has released their own commercial featuring former Viking Sean James and Olympian Al Joyner. In the ad, the athletes say they "respect Ms. Tebow's decision" not to have an abortion when she was pregnant with her son Tim, but they are also "working toward the day where...every woman's decision about her health and her family will be respected." As a man, sports fan and someone who is also pro-choice, it's refreshing to see male athletes step up and deliver this message. It's also cool to see it delivered in such a classy and tasteful manner

Perhaps, you've been living under a rock. If not, you've heard something about the salacious episode of bad judgment starring Greg Oden of the Portland Trailblazers. Straight from central casting of clichés, Oden stars in naked 'self-portraits' that he took while standing in a bathroom aiming a camera phone at the mirror. Damn, that's so 2008.

Adidas dropped him. The Washington Wizards, if you believe NBA analysts, are likely to follow suit. So who will stand by the man known as Gilbert Arenas who's currently facing felony gun charges and possible incarceration? Aw, yes, entering from stage left: the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA). Why are we not surprised? After all, both Gilbert and the zealots at PETA are known for taking things a little too far sometimes. So it makes sense that Gilbert's involvement in PETA's "Ink, Not Mink" campaign is continuing without as much as a hiccup.
