"The Jock Itch" with Jasmine Sadry: The Yankees Could Have THE Fattest Rotation in Baseball History!

DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) Leading off Today's "Jock Itch:" The 2011 Yankees could have THE fattest rotation in baseball history! If you factor in Bartolo Colon and Freddy Garcia, alongside A.J. Burnett, they would weigh in at a collective 1,255 pounds! The most recent fattest baseball team since official weights were kept in 1924 were the 2007-2009 White Sox, which not coincidentally, Bartolo Colon AND Freddy Garcia both pitched for that 2009 squad as well…

Kendra and her Minnesota Vikings husband Hank Baskett might just be heading for divorce court! They're supposedly trying to make it work for the sake of their little baby, but Hank's family has been opposed to the marriage from the start, and with Hank's football career floundering, the issue at hand is whether Hank can take care of the family financially. Now Kendra, on the other hand, is bringing in the cash, thanks to her frequent cameos in porn videos; And that's yet ANOTHER contention with Hank's family as well…

Here's a dose of news from the "Redneck Chronicles." What started as a guy just eating at a Waffle House in South Carolina ended up with him getting charged with beating up two diners at another table, over the subject of their conversation. What incensed this man to the point of putting down his scrambled eggs to take care of business? A man and woman who were discussing "women with hairy armpits." And apparently, he wasn't the only guy upset about this topic because two other diners also helped jump in on the melee where "weaponized" food was involved…

After cancelling his Oprah appearance, rumor has it that Michael Vick may be setting his sights on appearing on "The View" or "David Letterman." Apparently, the whole Oprah thing was being prematurely reported because he was also having talks with multiple high-profile shows and that's when the Philadelphia Eagles organization supposedly voiced their objections to Mike, prompting him to say no to Oprah….

WWE's "Triple H" is getting ripped by the critics for his "bad acting." (Which you'd think he'd have an upper hand on the acting part since he IS a WWE wrestler.) Anyway, in this movie called, "The Chaperone," he plays an ex-con who tries to leave his getaway driver past behind so that he can get to know his daughter, who grew up into a snotty little pre-teen while he was off doing time. Long story short, he ends up reconnecting with the girl, becoming the chaperone on his daughter's field trip and shenanigans and mayhem ensue…

The latest style in Men's jeans: the ex-girlfriend jeans! Levi's is hoping this is the next hot trend, offering a pair of what they call the, "Ex-Girlfriend Jean." The Levi's website says that it's basically the super-skinny fit as a way to "remember the girlfriend with great style."

I don't even know where to begin with this one but a guy ends up sending a text picture of a couple on a couch engaged in sexual relations to a 9-year-old boy, to which, the boy's mother and grandmother raised hell back at the guy! His explanation? He said he has the couch advertised for sale and THAT was the only picture he had of it to show. How or why it was even sent to the little boy is still in question, but I'm willing to bet the guy who sent it probably has four wheels and a side awning on his residence… http://newsoftheweird.blogspot.com/

And THAT'S my "Jock Itch!"
