What do NBC's Jeff Zucker and CNN's Jon Klein's firings have in common?

It was certainly no surprise to read this morning that Jeff Zucker's new Comcast bosses gave him the ax, since the NBC Universal chief executive had presided over a series of high-profile debacles, notably the hiring of Ben Silverman to run NBC, the network's precipitous drop into last place, the whole Conan O'Brien-Jay Leno late-night disaster and the long run of executive turmoil and box-office flops at Universal Pictures.

Nor is it any surprise to learn that CNN U.S. President Jon Klein is out today as well, after failing to figure out how to stop the cable news channel's continuing ratings slide. But what do the two events have in common? It's yet another example of how quickly the public has lost its loyalty to what were once dominant mainstream showbiz brands. The most startling statistic I saw in the stories about Zucker wasn't that NBC Universal generated roughly $2.3 billion in profits last year; it was how little NBC figured into the revenue picture: 80% of those profits came from the company's cable division.

While the media has focused on Zucker's high-profile failures, he has had success, but it came almost exclusively in the cable arena, where NBC made huge profits from such channels as USA, Bravo, Syfy and Oxygen, along with strong showings from its CNBC financial business channel and MSNBC, which has recently logged record profits. In today's showbiz America, the old brands are slowly dying while the real action is in niche-oriented cable channels, which are killing the cobwebby old network news shows and, for the most part, creating far more buzz and excitement with their entertainment shows than network TV.

In fact, what has hurt CNN the most under Klein's tenure has been its public perception as the most mainstream cable news, the channel that planted itself right in the middle of the road, as if it were a network news outlet. In news today, viewers don't value objectivity--they're in the thrall of colorful opinionators like Glenn Beck and Keith Olbermann. So it is the channels that have staked out clear-cut niches, Fox News on the right and MSNBC on the left, that have flourished by unabashedly playing to their specific political followings. It's no surprise to see that Klein is being replaced by Ken Jautz, head of CNN's tabloid-oriented sister channel HLN (formerly Headline News), which has enjoyed ratings success by playing to its own specific niche, with rabidly opinionated hosts (like Nancy Grace and Joy Behar) and heavy crime and celebrity coverage.

There's no guarantee that Zucker or Klein's successors will have any instant success turning their troubled companies around. But at least they will be steering their businesses in a more potentially viable direction. Under GE's ownership, NBC too often echoed the GE mass appeal approach to wooing consumers. But now that it's owned by Comcast, which has been a powerhouse in the cable business, expect to see NBC establishing itself in even more niche-oriented businesses. In showbiz, if you're in the middle of the road, it simply means you might get run over from either side of the information highway. The future of the entertainment business, whether it's in television or on the Web, is all about grabbing your loyal core audience and holding on to it for dear life.

I WOULD ONLY USE ADIDAS PROSTITUTES, SAYS BECKHAM

DAVID Beckham has angrily denied claims he slept with a prostitute insisting he could only ever be unfaithful to his wife with a contractually branded tart.

The England superstar has been hit by accusations he enjoyed a triangulated romp in a New York hotel without the consent of Adidas, Motorola or David Beckham by Giorgio Armani.

Beckham has now launched a legal action against a US magazine, insisting he has never entered into a sexual intercourse arrangement with any woman other than his officially sponsored wife.

A source close to the 35 year-old LA Galaxy marketing strategy said: "I just can't see David having sex with a prostitute, because the prostitute would have to pay him for endorsing her vulva.

"And even then there would have to lengthy consultations with his management team about which holes were used, a watertight penetration contract and Adidas would insist on having lots of complex insurance policies in case he falls off half way through and does his cruciate ligament again.

"And of course there would also have to be a five year global copyright agreement covering any grainy, CCTV images of his naked, heaving buttocks."

The source added: "I can see him doing a TV ad for Adidas where he's at a trendy sex party with lots of other celebrities in a Manhattan loft.

"And I'm sure he would do something with Motorola if they ever get round to releasing their 4G bluetooth prostitute.

"But it would be very tasteful. All black and white and shimmering thighs with a slogan like 'Intercourse. Everywhere."

Bari Coach Giampiero Ventura Admits Inter Were Too Strong

Inter Milan - Bari coach Giamperio Ventura believes the match against Inter resembled a training run, as the Biancorossi were defeated 4-0.

"For them, it was like a training run," Ventura told Sportal post-match. "They are the European champions, and they showed why they are this evening."

Ventura hoped the Galletti would have done more, despite being brushed aside.

"Our match lasted one minute. This game will make us reflect on a lot of things. If we believe to be able to play on the same level as Inter, we will lose."

Bari take on Brescia on Sunday in their next match.

Reggie Bush Injury: Fibula Break "Hurt Like Hell"

(CBS/AP) Reggie Bush may be tough, but the New Orleans Saints running back is no match for a broken fibula.

The 25-year-old is looking at a six-week hiatus after breaking the right, lower leg bone Sunday in a game against the 49ers.

"It hurt like hell," he said. "When I got back up and tried to walk on it, it felt terrible."

Bush had trouble catching the ball at windy Candlestick Park in San Francisco. He dove for the ball and players landed on him.

"I tried to recover it and somebody took my leg out," he said. "I don't know who it was, what happened or how it happened."

The fibula is the smallest bone of the four bones in the leg. It is generally immobilized in a cast to facilitate healing, which usually takes about six weeks. Some sports commentators have suggested he could be back within four.  In either case, he is expected to return this season.

NFL Power Rankings Week Three: Cowboys Tumble

NFL Power rankings can be a joy to look at when your team is winning, and rather painful when your team is losing. Our roundup of the weekly power rankings heading into week 3 sees the Dallas Cowboys tumble badly in the rankings.

Overall, it's been a bad start to the season for all NFC East teams. Our ranking summary gives the Cowboys, Giants and Redskins virtually identical middle-of-the-pack ratings, while the Eagles enjoy a slight lead thanks to the lone NFC East win last weekend, over no lesser team than the mighty Detroit Lions.

As usual, the rankings table includes our next opponent, the Houston Texans.

Jets WR Edwards arrested on DWI charge in NYC

NEW YORK — New York Jets wide receiver Braylon Edwards was arrested Tuesday on charges of driving while intoxicated after officers pulled him over because the windows on his SUV were too tinted, police said.

Officers on the lookout for vehicle violations like excessive tinting or missing registration stickers pulled over Edwards' Land Rover on Manhattan's west side around 5:15 a.m. and noticed a strong smell of alcohol, said chief NYPD spokesman Paul Browne.
Edwards was given a breath test at the scene and another at a police station. His blood alcohol level was .16, twice the legal limit, officials said. There were four other people in the SUV at the time.
In January, Edwards was placed on probation for 18 months after pleading no contest to misdemeanor aggravated disorderly conduct in Cleveland for punching a friend of NBA star LeBron James outside a nightclub. He was traded by the Browns to the Jets two days after the October nightclub encounter.
Edwards' lawyer, Peter M. Frankel, declined to comment as he awaited the player's arraignment. A call to his agent wasn't returned.
Jets general manager Mike Tannenbaum said Edwards showed poor judgment.
"We are very disappointed in Braylon's actions this morning," Tannenbaum said in a statement. "We are reviewing the information with the league and will impose the appropriate disciplinary measures."
Tannenbaum noted the Jets have a special program in which a player who drinks can call for a driver to take him home.
Pending the outcome of the New York City case, Edwards may have to return Cleveland to face a possible probation violation, which could carry jail time. The Cleveland Municipal Court judge handling his case has been notified of his New York arrest, said court spokesman Ed Ferenc.
The NFL had no comment. Edwards could be in line for a suspension for violations of NFL policies on alcohol and on player conduct policy.
Edwards had a big game for the Jets in their 28-14 win over the New England Patriots on Sunday, catching five passes, including a touchdown and a 2-point conversion. He was penalized for taunting — he danced in front of the defensive back covering him — after his 10-yard TD catch and coach Rex Ryan clearly wasn't happy on the sideline, shaking his head.
The former first-round pick out of Michigan in 2005 said during the Jets' playoff run last season that he wanted to finish his career in New York. Edwards signed a contract tender with the Jets in March worth $6.1 million, and will be a free agent after this season.
During his weekly spot on WFAN-AM on Tuesday morning, Jets wide receiver Jerricho Cotchery said Edwards attended a Monday night event in support of Cotchery's nonprofit foundation benefiting underprivileged youth in Manhattan. Cotchery said several teammates were there, and the event ran from 6:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m. on Manhattan's west side.
It's not clear where Edwards was coming from when he was pulled over.

AP Sports Writers Dennis Waszak Jr. and Barry Wilner contributed to this report.

Ecu Football

Ecu Football, The football team of the Central University has rarely left a feeling of loss as good about his future as the Tigers did after dropping a 20-7 decision Saturday to the sixth ranked Texas A & M-Kingsville. But this week’s opponent, the fifth-ranked Abilene Christian, has become a way of feeling good to bad in a hurry.

“We’re playing another great team,” said ECU head coach Tim McCarty, whose 0-2 team will face the 2-0 Wildcats at 6 pm Saturday at Shotwell Stadium in Abilene. “It’s a computer that has a lot of weaknesses.” As the Tigers did not pass his first two events of the season, falling 45-23 at Fort Hays State before losing to TAMUK, took a big step forward – especially on defense – last week against a team coming off a season Opening discomfort former No. 1 Division II Northwest Missouri State. McCarty said he hopes to build on that momentum this week against an opponent in order of the Lone Star Conference South Division.

“We see it as an opportunity,” said McCarty. “We are very close.

“I like our team, and I like the future of Central Timor football a lot,” he said. “Once we have the pleasure of winning, I do not think we’re going backwards.”

UMass football enters the Big House

ANN ARBOR, Mich. - The University of Massachusetts football team has played one Division I-A/Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team in 11 of the past 12 seasons.

In that time the Minutemen have been among the best programs in the Championship Subdivision (FCS) and the number of FCS over FBS upsets have increased, especially by Colonial Athletic Association teams.
But UMass has yet to add a high-profile head to its trophy wall. The Minutemen have suffered blowouts and heartbreakers, but the upset has remained elusive.
"You'd be lying to say it's just like any other game," senior linebacker Mike Mele said. "It's more motivation for us to work hard and try and win."
Unlike in some games between FCS and FBS teams, the Minutemen won't be at a big disadvantage size wise. UMass' offensive and defensive lines are both similar in size to their Wolverine counterparts. But whether its talent can match up is another issue all together. At No. 20, Michigan isn't the highest ranked FBS team UMass has faced but it certainly has the highest profile.
Michigan knows enough to be upset wary. Appalachian State, then the defending FCS champions, knocked off the Wolverines in 2007.
"People are seeing in the past several years how competitive these games are. They're getting more so every year," Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said. "We certainly see how competitive it's going to be. We're not good enough to play poorly against anybody and win. It's going to be a huge game for them, but every game is a huge game for us. UMass is a very good FCS school and it has our players attention."

Texas A&M opponent Update: Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett is Decent

 Watching Arkansas QB Ryan Mallett throw a 40-yard pass to Greg Chiles with 15 seconds remaining to give the No. 12 Hogs a win at Georgia was another reason to be only slightly afraid if you're an Aggies fan. Mallett was 21-of-33 for 380 yards and three touchdowns and no interceptions.
It sounds like I am in the minority, but I do believe the Aggies can hang with and beat Arkansas at Jerry World.
He's the best passer in the nation.
Arkansas' running game averaged 2.3 yards per rush against Georgia, and their whole offense is Mallett. If - and this is a massive if considering how quickly Mallett gets the ball out of his hands
- the Aggies can pressure him up the middle and make him slighly uncomfortable they have a real shot.

owa State football: Cyclones fall against Kansas State

Kansas City, Mo. — Daniel Thomas rushed for 181 yards and two touchdowns on a career-high 34 carries, and Kansas State rallied to beat Iowa State 27-20 on Saturday.

Carson Coffman added 104 passing yards for the Wildcats (3-0, 1-0 Big 12), who have won back-to-back conference openers for the first time in 10 years.

Austen Arnaud threw for 122 yards and a touchdown to lead Iowa State (1-2, 0-1), which lost its third straight to Kansas State.
Thomas's 2-yard TD run gave Kansas State a 24-20 lead with 6:47 left. Brandon Harold then sacked Arnaud with 1:58 left and recovered a fumble, setting up a 42-yard field goal by Josh Cherry 20 seconds later.

The Cyclones drove to the Wildcats' 36-yard line with 19 seconds left, but Arnaud threw a pair of incompletions to end the rally.


Down three early in the fourth quarter, Kansas State jumped back ahead 24-20 with an 83-yard touchdown drive. Thomas capped it with five straight carries, including the touchdown run off a pitch from Coffman, after Brodrick Smith came back to the ball for a crucial 47-yard catch.

Reggie Garrett, a senior quarterback at West Orange Stark High School, jogged to the sideline after throwing a touchdown pass with nine minutes left in the second quarter, but then passed out on the sidelines, according to ABC Beaumont, Texas, affiliate KBMT-TV.

Hempfest Boston 2010

While a majority of people are awaiting their favorite football teams kick off today, a big group of folks in Boston have something else in mind. The 21st Annual Meeting Boston Freedom Rally got underway at noon today. The event is taking place at the Boston Common and is expected to last 12 to 18 hours. This is better known as the Hempfest Boston 2010.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
The big event has two stages set up with speakers and music. Various types of music will be represented at the festival but the big hip-hop group on tap is Onyx. Boston is known for their tough liquor laws. However, the Hempfest Boston 2010 maintains a mere $100 ticket as long as the amount of marijuana is less than one ounce.
Many look at Boston as a college town and neither alcohol or marijuana would be a very good idea as a primary party element. Alcohol is not any bigger in Boston for the college kids than other college towns. However, when it comes to hemp, you might just find it easier to get your hands on it all together in Boston. If you are in Boston today, the Massachusetts Cannabis Reform Coalition is proud of the Hempfest Boston 2010 event so go ahead and join them for some fun.

ICC probes Pakistan's victory over England at The Oval

sThe International Cricket Council has launched an investigation into Friday's third one-day international between England and Pakistan at The Oval.

The game's world governing body says the probe is based on information passed on by The Sun newspaper.
ICC chief executive Haroon Lorgat says the match, won by Pakistan by 23 runs, featured "a certain scoring pattern" that warranted further investigation.
"We feel it is incumbent upon us to launch a full enquiry," Lorgat added.
The investigation is the latest blight on this summer's series between the two sides, with four members of the Pakistan team - none of whom were involved in Friday's match - being investigated amid allegations of "spot-fixing".
