DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) Leading off Today's "Jock Itch:" Heisman Trophy winner, Cam Newton, caused quite a stir when he said that he views himself as more than just a football player: but also as "an entertainer and icon." He also said that he wants to be the No. 1 overall pick in the upcoming NFL draft and when he was asked to talk about the criticism that he's only played one good, solid year in college football, he said, "I don't want to sound arrogant, but I did something in one year that people couldn't do in their whole collegiate careers."

And in OTHER "itch" worthy news...
Kobe Bryant's being kept on that leash from his wife because he actually banned female (I'd be scared to see anything BUT) cocktail waitresses from an NBA All-Star party he attended last week! He also had his security team run a pair of sweeps at the club in the week BEFORE the party, all to make sure that he gave his wife ALL of his attention, now that he's been rumored to be involved in a paternity accusation…

Carmelo Anthony made his debut as a Knick last night and now he's also got his very own sandwich from the famed Carnegie Deli! The "Melo" sandwich sells for $21.95 and it's a towering sandwich made up of an ungodly amount of pastrami, salami, corned beef, bacon, tomato, and Russian dressing all on rye bread. And if you're wondering why the $21.95 price tag? Deli owners say that if they sell three million of the "Melo," then they'll make his estimated salary of $65 million…

Oh to be THIS guy! Charlie Sheen takes a vacation with his wife, a porn star, AND his new live-in girlfriend! Talk about "Three's Company" gone BAD! So much for "rehab" at home, since he took off with all three girls to some tropical island. By the way, they all even LIVE together as roommates in his mansion! On a side note, an ex-girlfriend of his named, "Elizabeth Ann," (yeah, I don't get it either) dated for about 4 months, and she's coming out and saying that one of Charlie's personal assistant's duties is to constantly keep the "morning after pill" in stock, as she was a first hand "witness" by having to take them herself as well…
A new study finds that right wing candidates are better looking than their left wing counterparts and they're going out on a limb by saying that they benefit from this good looking attribute during elections! (Ya, think??) This study was done in Sweden though, and isn't everyone gorgeous there to begin with anyway?? Anyway, the study suggests that the left is associated with using a more rational approach in thinking, while the right has been more conscious of the importance of looks (ala Ronald Reagan and Sarah Palin.)
The notorious Auburn tree killer is now living in his car out of fear! Harvey Updyke is the nutso Alabama fan who killed the two live oak trees at Toomer's Corner at Auburn University.
