<p>I couldn&#8217;t help but laugh when I saw this video this morning.</p>
<p>I know it&#8217;s a bit insensitive, but after you watch it, you&#8217;ll laugh it.</p>
<p>Apparently there is a new judge in town and she has her own show called <em><strong>&#8220;Family Court With Judge Penny.” </strong></em>Recently on her show, young Erek came on to speak about his displeasure with his mother. Apparently Mama made little Erek play soccer when he didn&#8217;t want to.  Was she being a bit cruel to make him play? Not if Erek was just any kid throwing a tantrum. But here&#8217;s the twist.</p>
<p>Erek had 75% of his ear ripped off by a dog and had to have three surgeries.</p>
<p>Yep. And after the first surgery, she made him put a bandage over it and play!</p>
<p>The reason? To show he was <strong><em>committed and dependable</em></strong> and my favorite: <em><strong>&#8220;he&#8217;s the star player, without him, they would have lost.&#8221;</strong></em></p>
<p>I didn&#8217;t see how the verdict came out, but I know that if this was on Judge Judy, that old prune would have ripped her a new one and came at her like a spider monkey!</p>
<p>Now that&#8217;s good television!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Here’s what happened this weekend in sports:</strong></p>
<p><img align="left" width="207" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Tiger%20and%20Mediate23.jpg" alt="Tiger and Mediate" height="226" />Will it be <strong>Tiger or Mediate</strong>? <strong>The two will face off today in an 18-hole playoff (Noon EST) to decide who will win the 2008 US Open title.</strong></p>
<p>Tiger usually wins when he is up the day before, but he was struggling yesterday because of his hurt knee, but I’m pretty hopeful he will be able to do his thing today.</p>
<p>             </p>
<p>               </p>
<p>                     </p>
<p><strong><img align="left" width="212" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/pierce_lakers_layup400550144.jpg" alt="Lakers vs Celtics" height="269" />Lakers win game 5</strong> – I honestly thought they weren’t going to pull it off &amp; I know die-hard fans were pretty disgruntled because of their horrible performance during game 4, especially with sports casters reminding them that <strong>no team has ever come back when down by 3-1 to win a title</strong>.</p>
<p>So, basically the Lakers will make history of they pull it off. The refs were pretty lenient on the Lakers especially in the last few minutes of the game.  <strong>Anyway, I’m sure the Celtics would rather win their final game at home.  :)        </strong></p>
<p><strong>             </strong></p>
<p><strong>                   </strong></p>
<p><strong>      </strong></p>
<p><strong><img align="left" width="228" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Dale%20Earnhardt%20Jr12.jpg" alt="Dale Earnhardt Jr" height="183" />Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the LifeLock 400 NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race! </strong>Before this long anticipated victory he was on a 76 race losing streak!</p>
<p>He actually was <strong>supposed to run out of gas</strong> way before the finish line according to his pit crews estimations, but <strong>miraculously he an out of gas just shortly after crossing the finish line</strong>.</p>
<p>                    </p>
<p>                                                       </p>
<p><img align="left" width="233" src="http://images.smarter.com/blogs/Turkey%20Moves%20onto%20Quarterfinals2.jpg" alt="Turkey Moves onto Quarterfinals" height="157" /><strong>Turkey beats the Czech Republic to make it to the Euro 2008 Quarterfinals.</strong> Turkey&#8217;s team captain, Nihat Kahveci, scored two goals in the last three minutes of the game. Pretty awesome.  Check out the game highlights <a target="_blank" href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RUS8AxeyThU" title="Turkey vs Czech Republic">here</a>.</p>

<p>In the 82nd minute of the <strong>Deportivo Cali</strong> and <strong>America de Cali</strong> match, a riot broke out between loyal fans that left <strong>80 people injured, leaving 10 of them in serious condition.</strong></p>
<p>A pregnant woman was among the injured while others were stabbed which all began after America protested Wilman Roldan&#8217;s decision not to call a penalty kick against Cali.</p>
<p>Apparently if I go to Colombian, not only do I need a passport, but a bulletproof vest.</p>
<p>Oh, for those of you who care, <strong>Deportivo won 1-0</strong>.</p>
<p>You can see a small clip of the riot here at <a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/03/10/2184827.htm" target="_blank">ABC.net</a>.</p>

<p>It seems like we write more about <strong>David Beckham&#8217;s</strong> efforts off the field than what he does on it, but this one can&#8217;t go unnoticed.</p>
<p>After a charity game last November where Beckham and the <strong>LA Galaxy</strong> played against <strong>Hollywood United F.C.</strong>, the team decided to stop by this bar in Culver City for a few drinks. Beckham picks up the tab, which was around $100, and leaves $1,000. A $900 tip! A pretty generous offer, especially since it helped the waitress fix her car and her teeth.</p>
<p>Of course this is just chunk change for David. Can you imagine how much it costs him to keep his wife happy? I bet it&#8217;s way more than $900.</p>
