PAPER PORN AND ELECTRONIC PORN EACH HAVE THEIR ADVANTAGES. HOW CAN I DECIDE? Though it hasn’t reached great popularity yet, some Canadian universities are experimenting with “e-texts” in favour of the traditional paper textbook format.
Some Canadian schools turning to e-texts
By Sakthi Kalaichandran
Gazette Writer
Feeling stiff from carrying a backpack full of thick, hard-covered
textbooks? Those days may soon
end, as digital textbooks are now
available for purchase through several Canadian universities.
E-textbooks are an alternative to
regular textbooks and are viewable
on both PC and Mac platforms.
While there are some cost and environmental benefits from e-textbooks, the demand has remained
low across university campuses.
Debbie Harvie, director of the
University of British Columbia
book store, believes this market will
change substantially over the next
few years. E-textbooks have been
available at the UBC bookstore
since December 2006. However,
this term, only seven of the 3,000
books requested by UBC faculty are
available as e-textbooks.
The online texts can be difficult
to read as they are PDF formats of
the original book.
“As students become more comfortable with reading online, e-textbooks will have a higher demand,”
Harvie said. “If books were created
to be read electronically from the
start, it would be easier for students
to read them.”
Harvie doesn’t believe e-textbooks will replace all university
books, though she said certain subjects can benefit from them.
“In a changing field like the sciences, e-texts can be updated
quickly,” she said. “Therefore, it
may be more beneficial for students in that field.”
At Western, digital textbooks are
available for purchase through the
e-Book Store link on The Book Store
at Western’s website. Carolyn
Young, The Book Store’s communications manger, said although the
link has been there for four years, it
has been used sparingly.
Last year, The Book Store did a
study on e-textbooks with three
focus groups. In one group, 12 of
the 25 students were interested in
digital media. If the price were to be
cut in half, 19 students said they
were interested.
Young said digital books won’t
ever be significantly cheaper than
traditional books because of copy-
right costs. She said the U.S. is far
ahead of Canada in terms of copyright legislation.
According to Young, some
American universities are experimenting with a program called
iChapters, in which professors can
assign specific chapters from a
book and students can choose to
purchase those specific chapters.
Currently, no legislation exists in
Canada for digital content, making
it difficult to distinguish between
what is a legitimate form of text and
what isn’t, Young said. Therefore,
The Book Store doesn’t want to sell
textbooks if they aren’t copyrighted.
“There is a very low profit margin for textbooks,” she said. “Some
campus book stores raise the prices
on textbooks in order to make a
profit. We have chosen not to do
that so we can give the students the
best prices without incurring a loss
to the university.”
“Anything more than five pages I
would print out,” said Nadia
Ahmed, a fourth-year management
and organizational studies student.
“Reading anything more on the
computer screen is hard on the
eyes.”
Jonathan Ruelens, a fourth-year
history student, agreed.
“I would absolutely not be interested in purchasing an e-textbook,”
he said. “Students, as a group,
spend too much time on their computers already.
“A book is the last legitimate
form in which we can obtain information.”
UWO prof’s research could aid nicotine addicts
By Mike Hayes
Gazette Staff
Research currently being conducted by a Western professor may lead
to a new treatment for nicotine
addiction.
Steven Laviolette, assistant professor of anatomy and cell biology,
is conducting research which may
remove nicotine’s rewarding effects
in people’s brains. Though the
research is only in its early stages,
Laviolette is excited about the possible benefits for people struggling
to quit smoking.
“Though we’re only studying the
effects on lab rats right now, we’ve
already seen interesting results,”
Laviolette said.
“When nicotine is absorbed into
the body there are different pathways that are affected. Some of
these pathways promote a ‘reward’
effect when exposed to nicotine.
“We could establish a pharmalogical intervention, such as a pill,
which would inhibit the neural
pathway that provides the
‘rewards’ of nicotine. The brain
would stop receiving the ‘good’
feeling it gets from smoking and
only receive the adverse effects of
nicotine, making smoking a lot less
enjoyable.”
Laviolette’s research has pro-
duced other interesting results.
“Though smoking is initially
unpleasant for many, our research
suggests that one may be more likely to continue smoking depending
on whether their brain is more susceptible to the ‘good’ effects of
nicotine consumption,” he said.
Chad Lannon, a fourth-year
management and organizational
studies student, was skeptical about
Laviolette’s research.
“Well, smoking regularly is
already bad enough, and taking the
treatment might not be awful, but
[manipulating] hormonal and
chemical stuff like that isn’t the
smartest idea,” he said.
Though Health Canada is currently reporting a drop in smokers,
there are still over 4.5 million smokers in Canada. According to Health
Canada’s website, nicotine addiction is the main reason many
smokers can’t quit.
“When a person consumes
nicotine, their blood vessels constrict, which increases blood pressure and puts a lot of strain onto the
human body,” said Chris Walsh,
Western’s campus co-ordinator of
Leave the Pack Behind, an organization combating smoking addiction on North American campuses.
When a person attempts to
overcome a nicotine addiction,
these dangers are still present.
“If an addict is subjected to a
withdrawal of nicotine, they will
become irritable and anxious, with
an increased appetite and a lowered heart rate,” Walsh said. “Ultimately, the best results [for quitting
smoking] come from people who
look into the psychological reasons
behind their smoking habits.
“A person can use a nicotine
replacement therapy such as
Nicorette or a negative re-enforcement therapy such as Zyban, but
those will only help the biological
factors affecting smoking addiction. Possessing the will to quit is
key.”

E-textbooks: an
alternative, not
a replacement Closet carnivores shouldn’t fake it
The beginning of a new school semester also marks the
beginning of another arduous journey: buying textbooks. To battle the high costs — not to mention the
weight — of textbooks, the University of British Columbia introduced e-textbooks at its campus book store.
E-textbooks are a relief to students who don’t want to
lug heavy textbooks; they’re also roughly 20 per cent
cheaper than used textbooks.
For the environmentally conscious and studious, ebooks can also save thousands of pages of paper for the
average student, especially those with hefty reading lists.
While selling back textbooks is a way to make back
some money, the cash returned may only be a fraction of
a given text’s original price. Furthermore, many books
can’t be resold when professors continually change
course book lists.
However, depending on the faculty and the student,
an e-book may be an annoyance rather than a convenience if the assigned reading is a lengthy novel or article and the reader finds it difficult and uncomfortable
spending extended periods of time facing a computer
screen.
It also may take students longer to complete e-readings considering the number of online distractions,
including talking to friends on MSN Messenger, listening
to music, surfing the Internet and playing games.
Computer accessibility poses problems for e-textbooks. While many students have laptops, many students don’t. Some courses require continuous reference
to textbooks during lectures, which wouldn’t be possible for everyone. Furthermore, e-textbooks can’t be kept
for future reference as their “time-bomb” feature
destroys them one year after purchase.
If they can overcome privacy restrictions like password protection, thrifty students could share copies of
the books with their friends by printing or e-mailing
readings – saving them money, but threatening e-publishing companies’ financial stability. With tempting features like copy and paste available at students’ fingertips, e-books may also increase the temptation to plagiarize.
E-textbooks could be “the way of the future,” especially for younger generations born into the Internet age
and comfortable working on computers. However, considering e-textbooks’ drawbacks, they shouldn’t be students’ only option if introduced on a wide scale.
Print textbooks should remain available to students
who learn better away from a screen. E-textbooks
should be a choice — available to those who are technologically savvy, cash-strapped or looking to lighten
their heavy backpacks.

As I grew up in the heart of Alberta, no
dish whetted my appetite like a plate of
ribs at a local restaurant.
However, by the time I was in Grade 4
I was slightly more religious and started
pondering whether or not I should
refrain from eating red meat for a while.
After weighing all other options, I
decided to go one step further and stop
eating all forms of meat, but continue
eating eggs and dairy products. I saw no
reason to consume meat if I could survive by eating vegetables, fruits, dairy
and protein substitutes.
What do Western students think about
vegetarianism?
“Iron-deficiency anemia — It’s God’s
way of saying meat matters.”
—Jason Yu
Medicine II
“I have two roommates who are vegetarians. One does it right and protein
counts, the other only really eats [Kraft
dinner]. Vegetarianism is a good thing
but only if you do it in a healthy way.”
—Vicki Maxwell
Pharmacology/Physiology II
“Either way, if you eat veggies or meat
you should choose healthy options, and
people should eat whatever makes them
happy.”
—Rosa Garcia
MIT III
While initially it was extremely tempting to go out for a Big Mac or eat a hot
dog at a barbecue, eventually vegetarianism became natural.
Eleven years later, I consider myself a
full-fledged vegetarian.
Although I’ve chosen to be a vegetarian, I don’t advise others to stop eating
meat — ultimately, it’s a personal decision. I’m not bothered at all if the person
sitting next to me at dinner chomps
away on a large, meaty steak.
Over the past few years, however, I’ve
noticed a growing trend which does irk
me. I’ve met more and more people who
claim to be vegetarians just because it’s
“cool.”
Many of these supposed vegetarians
refrain from eating meat for a short time,
but then start eating meat occasionally
for “special” occasions.
Mark my words — if you don’t eat
meat Monday through Thursday but
“only eat steak at your grandmother’s
house on Friday” or if you decide to have
salmon while at a fancy restaurant,
you’re not a vegetarian. You may seldom
eat meat, but you’re not a vegetarian.
Many of these individuals claim
they’re vegetarians to publicly display
their concern for the treatment of animals, while privately still eating their
favourite carnivorous dishes whenever a
convenient opportunity arises.
Don’t get me wrong — I’m not condemning people for only occasionally
eating meat. My only request is that people are honest about their true dietary
habits.
Whether you’re a carnivore, herbivore
or omnivore, just be honest about what
you prefer to eat.
And to answer a common question,
no, I don’t plan on marrying a carrot...
“I think vegetarianism is a good thing if
you do it for the right reasons and if
you’re serious about it. Too many people aren’t committed enough and end
up going on and off again.”

WHAT? IS THERE SOMETHING ON MY FACE? CAN YOU GET IT OFF FOR ME? Pan’s Labyrinth follows a young girl as she creates a fantasy world in the midst of war.
Pan’s Labyrinth a film about escapism
Director Guillermo Del Toro blends fantasy and war
By Joshua Hurwitz
Gazette Writer
Pan’s Labyrinth
Directed by: Guillermo Del Toro
Starring: Ivana Baquero, Doug
Jones, Sergi López
Guillermo Del Toro’s actionpacked, Academy Award-nominated Pan’s Labyrinth beautifully
blends fantasy and war-thriller
genres in an aesthetically pleasing
film. It fails, however, to create any
interesting new product by combining these genres.
In post-civil war Spain, starryeyed, fairytale-loving Ofelia (Ivana
Baquero) and her mother Carmen
(Ariadna Gil) are relocated to an old
mill where the evil fascist Captain
Vidal commands a horse troop. As
Carmen, pregnant with Vidal’s son,
lies sick and weakened by her pregnancy, Ofelia is awakened by a fairy.
Spirited to a nearby labyrinth,
Ofelia encounters a faun (Doug
Jones) who tells her that her soul is
that of a great king’s long-lost
daughter. To reunite with her
father, Ofelia must complete three
magical tasks. She sets to work, battling a huge toad and a faceless
giant, and nursing a humanoid
mandrake root to life. While Ofelia
faces fantastical creatures within
the maze, republican guerrillas
descend on the mill to square off
with Captain Vidal.
Pan’s Labyrinth is entertaining
and intriguing. It smartly combines
a dark adult film with a fairy-tale
story and a child protagonist. Its
fantasy world is a welcome depar-
ture from quidditch and Frodo.
Jones and Baquero’s strong performances are refreshing. Their
characters blend well with the film’s
dichotomy between the real and
the surreal.
However, the film’s central plotline is predictable. While Labyrinth
touches on the meaning of death
and the value of life, belief, and
youthful innocence, it doesn’t elaborate on these themes.
Although the film’s 1940s-Spain
setting is novel, its simply drawn
conflict between good and evil isn’t.

Opra h
Vidal is a completely maniacal portrait of pure evil, making him as
bland and one-dimensional as
most of the film’s characters.
Ofelia’s labyrinth world is fairly
intriguing, but it’s underdeveloped.
Surprisingly, her fantasy-world
tasks don’t parallel the film’s realworld action. Ofelia seems so unaffected by the real-world violence
and so consumed by her alternate
reality that viewers are forced to
question whether the fantasy world
is “real” or simply a form of
escapism.

Today’s young people not wearing condoms
Stats Canada says less than 50 per cent wrap up for sex
By Melissa Kim
Gazette Staff
At university, hormones flow like the
Euphrates and co-eds bed-hop like it’s
going out of style, but are men always
wrapping their tools like Bob Vila?
According to a 2005 Statistics
Canada health report, 44 per cent of
people aged 20-24 didn’t use a condom the last time they had sex, the
largest demographic to do so. In the
same report, twice as many females as
males aged 15-24 were diagnosed
with a sexually transmitted disease.
Chris Walsh, health education coordinator at Student Health Services,
said unprotected sex is a main factor
in spreading sexually transmitted
infections, as well as infrequent testing, oral and anal sex, sex toys, and
drug use. Walsh recommend getting
tested before each new sexual relationship and regularly within a longterm relationship.
He emphasized that methods of
contraception like birth control pills
and hormonal methods don’t protect
against STIs, and simply because a
student isn’t showing symptoms doesn’t mean he or she isn’t infected or
infectious.
“There are many people who feel
using condoms sacrifices pleasure,”
Walsh said. “However, I certainly wouldn’t
consider being infected with an STI pleasurable or worth the risk.”
Alex McKay, research co-ordinator of the
Sex Information and Education Council of
Canada, said since the average age of first
marriage in Canada is 28 and the average age
of first intercourse is 16 or 17, there is often a
number of sequential sexual partners before
marriage — relationships that are not always
monogamous.
McKay added 90 per cent of Canadians
have sex before they marry.
“Even if they think of themselves as being
very cautious — if they are practising unprotected sex in those relationships — by the
time they’ve reached their mid or late 20s,
[they’ve had] unprotected sex with multiple
partners.”
McKay said a norm should be established
on campuses across the country that con-
doms are always used, with no ifs
ands or buts. He said STIs and unintended pregnancy rates would drop
dramatically if this were the case.
Western psychology Professor Bill
Fisher said though young adults use
condoms and practise safe sex early in
relationships, they usually stop once
trust is established.
“Recognition of the fact that familiarity and trust are no substitute for
latex is going to have to become an
automatic and not a thoughtful
behaviour in the same sense that people automatically [don’t light] a cigarette in somebody’s living room,”
Fisher said.
Chlamydia is the most commonly
diagnosed reportable STI at Canadian
universities. According to McKay,
chlamydia is not only often asymptotic, but can also damage the female
reproductive system, making it one of
the leading causes of infertility in
Canada.
“I usually get tested twice a year
and I’ve [always] used a condom,”
said James Lucas, a first-year social
science student. “It’s probably [what
others should do] but definitely not
what they are doing.”
“If you’re going to have sex, then
you should wear a condom no matter
what.... and get tested regularly,”
added Lauren Teremchuk, a third-year history student. “It’s a responsibility for you and
the people that you are sleeping with.”
If you have questions or concerns about sexual health, visit Student Health Services or call

Many still face barriers
to sexual health care
QUICK FACTS
By Sarvenaz Kermanshahi
Oral contraceptives are the
most common method of
contraception used by Canadian women (32 per cent),
followed by condom use (21
per cent).
Gazette Staff
A vital component of sexual health
is access to health care, but barriers
still exist for some looking for such
services.
Marilyn Evans, assistant professor of nursing at Western, said
numerous factors must be in place
before young people will seek the
help of a health professional, especially on issues about their reproductive health.
Students must feel they won’t be
judged and, most importantly, that
their visit is kept confidential.
Evans also said some women
feel disempowered vis-a-vis health
care professionals and unable to
make decisions about their health.
Thomas MacFarlane, director of
Western Health Services since 1987,
said he’s never heard any complaints about the clinic’s staff. He
said the quality of the staff’s performance is proven in the number of
users: Health Services had 59,411
visits in 2005-06.
MacFarlane believes Health Services’ staff is sensitive to the needs
of all visitors, noting “Our staff is
encouraged and required to be nonjudgmental in its approach.”
But barriers to health care need
not involve outright discrimination
explains Susan Knabe, lecturer in
the department of women’s studies
and feminist research.
“Some… barriers include
assumptions of heterosexuality [for
instance a focus on heterosexual
sexual activity which makes it less
likely for a person to come out, and
therefore access appropriate care]
and assumptions about sexual
identity and sexual activity being
synonymous.
“[For example, the] assumption
that lesbians are not at risk for STIs
because they don’t sleep with men
— wrong on both counts, since
some lesbians do have sex with
men, and since there is female-tofemale transmission of some STIs
like HPV and herpes,” Knabe said.
Knabe said other barriers
include a lack of regular access to
health care — many lesbians don’t
get regular screening like paps,
pelvic exams, or mammograms —
because they don’t routinely visit
the doctor for birth control.
She added lesbians are at higher
risk for some cancers because of
other risk factors.
“Breast cancer is associated with
not having been pregnant, obesity,
smoking — all higher factors in the
lesbian population on average,”
Knabe cited as an example.
Out-right homophobia is problematic, as it still exists in some
health-care situations.
“This also operates as a barrier,
both in terms of that specific interaction, but also in terms of making
[lesbians, gays, bisexuals and transgendered] people less likely to
access health care in the future
because of this and therefore
putting their health at risk,” Knabe
said.
Walking into a health-care setting takes courage on the part of
someone who is transgendered,
says Greta Bauer, assistant professor of epidemiology and biostatistics at the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry.
Some physicians won’t see
transgendered individuals for routine medical services based on a
concern about adequate training to
meet transgendered needs.
“One recently completed needs
assessment of transgender and
two-spirit people in Manitoba and
Northern Ontario found that over
20 percent of trans people had relocated to find trans-competent
health care,” Bauer says.
The average age Canadians
have sex for the first time is
16.5.
The term sexually transmitted infection (STI) is now
commonly used instead of
sexually transmitted disease
(STD) to include infections
that may be asymptomatic.
In 2003, 854,817 people aged
15-49 who have had sexual
intercourse reported having
been diagnosed with a sexually transmitted infection
Chlamydia is the most commonly reported STI in Canada.
Gonorrhea is the second
most commonly reported STI
in Canada.

Hockey linemates snipe the Pipe
ends have been good, so going into
this weekend we’re confident if we
carry in those two big games.
HARE: Us and Lakehead is one of
the huge rivalries, so it’s always nice
to be out two times, knowing that
they were pulling up on us, and
have a chance to leapfrog them. It’s
good to get wins there.
By Malcolm Aboud
Gazette Staff
Every week, the Purple Pipe is
awarded to a Mustangs athlete or a
group of athletes who has put forth
an outstanding performance. This
week, the nod goes to the men’s
hockey line of Craig Kennedy, Steve
Benedetti and Ryan Hare, who
combined for 14 points in two
games versus rival Lakehead this
weekend. Gazette Sports caught up
with Benedetti and Hare to talk
pre-game routines, Paul Newman
and Pizza Hut.
What’s your pre-game routine?
BENEDETTI: Everyone on the
team has their own thing that we
do, so usually in the morning I play
basketball and I eat the same food
every day. I go to the rink, all the
boys play soccer, and then we play.
HARE: I’m not really a superstitious
guy. I just always have the same ice
time routine, but never anything
too serious.
Which teammate would you not
want hitting you over the middle?
BENEDETTI: I’d say [Mike] Sellan
— he’s a pretty big boy.
HARE: That’d probably be Mike Sellan. He’s a big crusher and he’s
always looking for that big hit, hurting everyone for the puck, so you’ve
got to keep your head up, especially in practice.
What’s your mindset for this weekend’s games against York and
Brock?
BENEDETTI: The last two week-
Kennedy, Benedetti and Hare
net 14 points versus Lakehead
Who’s your favourite Slap Shot
character?
BENEDETTI: It’d have to be one of
the [Hanson] brothers.
HARE: Whomever Paul Newman is.
What’s his name?
Did you have mini-sticks growing
up? How many?
BENEDETTI: (Laughs) Yeah. I was
a huge fan of mini-hockey, so I’ve
probably got every team out there.
HARE: I had mini-sticks from all
over — wood ones, longer ones, the
mini ones. They were all Leafs ones,
especially when Gilmour was
around — I’m a huge Gilmour fan
and collected all his stuff.
What’s the best hangover cure?
BENEDETTI: I’m still trying to figure that one out.
HARE: Just sleep. That’s all, I guess,
and Pizza Hut buffet usually does
the trick.
Does your line’s friendship contribute to success?
BENEDETTI: Definitely. We’ve all
been playing together for a few
years now — we’re all pretty close,
so it definitely helps.
HARE: Especially with Steve
Benedetti and Kenner, it’s all about
experience on our line. We’re an
older line — five years, four years
and three years — what we bring to
the table is experience and that’s
what we’d like to shed to our teammates.

TAKING SANDBOX PLAY TO A WHOLE NEW LEVEL. Western’s track and field teams notched wins all over the board at the Don Wright
Challenge this past weekend, a strong sign of what may come for the men’s and women’s squads.
Future is bright after Don Wright
Very successful meet a reason for optimism
By Mallory Daley
Gazette Staff
The Mustangs track and field
teams left their competitors in the
dust last weekend at the 24th
annual Don Wright Team Challenge.
Both the men’s and women’s
athletes posted massive point
totals to run away with the overall
team titles and beat out DetroitMercy, Oakland University and the
University of Waterloo.
Western’s women won 13 of 15
events and accumulated an eyepopping 152 points, dwarfing second-place Detroit-Mercy’s 56. The
men captured nine of 15 events
and tallied 144.5 points; Oakland
placed second with 53.
The Mustangs excelled especially in sprints and hurdles, as
well as weight throw, shot-put,
high jump, long jump and triple
jump.
Head coach Vickie Croley was
impressed with her team’s consistency throughout the meet.
“We’re pretty solid across the
board in all events,” Croley said.
Among the dominating athletes
wearing purple and silver was
2006 Ontario University Athletics
Rookie of the Year Jen Cotten, who
won gold in three events.
“This is a big meet for Western,”
Cotten said. “We definitely got
momentum.”
Women’s team member and
pentathlete Shellie McParland had
a strong showing with a gold and a
personal best in long jump and a
third-place finish in hurdles.
“It’s still very early in the season,” McParland said. “[This meet]
definitely gets things going. It’s a
great start.”
Standouts from the men’s team
included Abdull Zubair and Randy
McAuley. With two gold medals
each, they displayed the improving strength of a men’s team
plagued by injuries.
“On the men’s side, we are dealing with some injuries,” Croley
said. “We need some of our injured
bodies to get healthy so they can
compete for us at the level they’re
capable of.”
“This is the first big meet for
times and results,” Zubair said.
“We started getting the big times
and getting ready for [Canadian
Interuniversity Sport] nationals.”
Despite his recent passing, former Mustangs track and field star
and long-time program patron
Don Wright remained a prevailing
force this past weekend.
“We were really motivated
because it’s one of our most
important
meets,”
Zubair
explained. “With [Don Wright]
passing away this year, it was especially important to perform and
give a good presence.”
Western showed motivation
and teamwork. In a primarily individual sport, the ’Stangs emphasize team unity above all things on
and off the track.
“We need to have a team focus
in order to be supportive of others
reaching their individual goals,”
Croley said. “Our focus is to continue to train to work towards
achieving personal bests at championship times.”
The future looks bright for both
the men’s and women’s teams,
which have the talent to contend
for top spots in the country.
“We work hard,” McParland
said. “We train hard and it pays off
in the end.”

Hats off to the Bengals for putting
the “sin” back in Cincinnati. Rookie cornerback Johnathan Joseph
was arrested this week for possession of marijuana, making him the
ninth Bengal arrested in nine
months. Devoid of boats, strippers,
and the Minnesota Vikings, the
Bengals are well on their way to
spending more time in the slammer than Ogie Oglethorpe.
In other football news, Britney
Spears contacted CBS hoping to
perform at its Super Bowl halftime
show. The network promptly
rejected her request. Britney
singing and gyrating onstage was a
tremendously exciting prospect —
in the 20th century. Apologies to KFed, and if we just got Britney’s
knickers in a twist, we’re sure a
vodka tonic (or eight) will cure
what ails her.
Famed head coach Bill Parcells
has retired from the Dallas Cowboys. Apparently the Tuna had
enough headaches and ulcers
from trying to rein in Terrell
Owens, the wooden-headed
league idiot. Parcells is 65 years old
and already left the New York
Giants in 1991 due to heart trouble. Having to deal with the hotair-balloon egos of Owens and
team owner Jerry Jones can’t be
good for the Tuna’s ticker. Not
everyone likes Parcells and his
coaching methods, but no one
wants to see him on toast with a
dill pickle on the side.
Middleweight champion boxer
Oscar de la Hoya will have his
hands full if he wants trainer Floyd
Mayweather Sr. for his match
against Mayweather’s son, welterweight Floyd Mayweather Jr. Mayweather Sr. wants a pay bump to $2
million to help de la Hoya beat his
son, saying he is “the only one who
can tell [de la Hoya] how to do
that.” That’s one way to avoid social
services — have someone else beat
the living piss out of your son for
you and then get paid for it.
In a show of sportsmanship and
respect for elders, New York Yankees two-bagger Robinson Cano
has agreed to switch his number 22
jersey to number 24 if pitcher
Roger Clemens comes back to
pitch for the pinstripes. Whether
Clemens, the biggest jerk this side
of the St. Lawrence River, deserves
this respect is up for debate.
