Eric Massa - Former congressman Eric Massa initially left office due to “illness”, then alleged he was being “forced out”, then used the catch all excuse of wanting to get out of the “toxic” environment of D.C., then reports of him having tickle fights with young male staffers surfaced. Massa verified those reports and elaborated to say multiple young staffers were involved and that groping was involved but it was “okay” because it was his 50th birthday. Other shenanigans he liked to undertake with his underpaid staffers, that he kept close in a living space that he facilitated for all of them, were his self-trademarked “Massa Massages” and “snorkeling”, a bedtime under the covers activity. When asked if he was gay he said he wouldn’t answer that question but to ask his wife and the 10,000 guys he served with in the Navy.

Lindsay Lohan - For filing a $100 million pain and suffering lawsuit against E-Trade for their newest baby-trader commercial that features a girl baby “milkaholic” who is referred to as Lindsay. Lindsay’s attorney claims that “They’re using her name as a parody of her life. Why didn’t they use the name Susan? This is a subliminal message. Everybody’s talking about it and saying it’s Lindsay Lohan.” Her attorney has also asserted that “Lohan has elevated ‘Lindsay’ to the same sort of one-off recognition status as ‘Madonna’ or ‘Cher’.”

Torii Hunter - For referring to black latino baseball players as "imposters" while in the same breath claiming that "where [a player] was born and raised makes no difference."

Urban Meyer - For lashing out at Orlando Sentinel sports reporter Jeremy Fowler and threatened to ban the Sentinel entirely from all things Florida football for his reports regarding Florida WR Deonte Thompson’s comments about former Gator QB Tim Tebow and the current QB for the Gators. Thompson stated that ``You never know with Tim…he can bolt. You'll think he's running, but then he'll just come up and pass it to you. You just have to be ready at all times. With Brantley, everything's with rhythm, time. Like, you know what I mean, a real quarterback.” Fowler simply reported this and blogged about it, needless to say Urban over-reacted a little bit and even went as far to Fowler: ``You're a bad guy, man. You're a bad guy, if that was my son, we'd be going at it right now.''
