ESPN sideline reporter Erin Andrews will appear on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" Sept. 11 to discuss the incident where she was filmed nude in her hotel room by a hidden camera, according to a report published by Sports Illustrated.
Andrews, who has not appeared publicly since the July 19 ESPY Awards, was in town last week to film the segment.
Andrews is scheduled to return to the sideline Thursday when South Carolina kicks off its college football season against North Carolina State.
Andrews is seeking criminal charges against those responsible for filming the video and those who posted it online.
Now former New York Giants star receiver Plaxico Burress gets 2 years for shooting himself in a nightclubs?
Jane, stop this crazy wheel of sentencing, I want to get off.
Burress pleaded guilty to a weapons charge and agreed to a two-year prison term for accidentally shooting himself at a Manhattan nightclub Thursday morning, ending a saga that's gone on nearly as long as he'll be in prison.
He pleaded guilty Thursday morning to one count of attempted criminal possession of a weapon, a lesser charge than he initially faced. Under a plea agreement, he agreed to a two-year prison sentence and two years of supervised release.
For all those who criticize President Obama for being too left, this video proves he sure likes to turn that way.
Three-time NASCAR Sprint Cup champion Jimmie Johnson had the gas to get to the White House on Wednesday, where President Barack Obama honored the 2008 winner as well as auto racing.
"NASCAR is a uniquely American sport," Obama said beneath the South Portico, flanked by nine of the 12 drivers who competed last year for NASCAR's top prize. Three drivers had scheduling conflicts and could not attend.
By "uniquely American," we can only assume he's speaking to the poor mileage the stock cars get. And mullets.
In a race on Sunday, Johnson gambled on fuel but ran out of gas while leading with two laps to go. Instead of winning, he finished 33rd. It was the third time this season that Johnson has run out of gas, but that wasn't a problem on Wednesday.
Johnson's No. 48 Chevrolet was parked on the White House driveway, with the glittery Sprint Cup perched on a table nearby.
Come to think of it, maybe he was still out of gas as it had to be pushed into position there.
Obama joked that he wanted to take it for a spin, but the Secret Service wouldn't allow it. And his adviser said with the nasty health care debate going on in the country a few turns to the center and right would be more advisable, ruling out a NASCAR track experience.
With the NASCAR dad wooing underway, we can assume the hockey mom lobby will be taking slap shots on the South Lawn next?
Why does any discussion of NBA basketball - specifically, the Bulls - still start and end with the words: Michael Jordan? Because the greatest player ever - no disrespect, Wilt - still has game.
Just check out the video above with a 46-year-old, puffy Jordan sporting some truly baggy jeans facing up Chris "The Ghetto Bird" Young, dropping fadeaway after fadeaway over the 6-foot-4, 180-pound 34-year-old.
And if that weren't enough, he starts off with a flat-footed reverse slam from under the basket, a feat Slamball star Young can't do facing forward.
Of course, Jordan talks trash the entire time, asking Young to tell him which side he wants to defend, then knocking down shots from right there. "How many times you gotta see it," you can here a teammate ask from the side.
You can just smell the edge - Jordan's laughing and joshing, but he wants to beat this guy and wants him to know he got beat.
So, does this set us up for another comeback? Can the Bulls line up his Airness, maybe just leave him on the bench til the fourth quarter or the final 5 minutes of a game? OK, maybe we're not there. But it's pretty clear Jordan still has skills you can only dream about and clearly still has the competitive fire that made him the greatest.
Rick Pitino, the man known for his tailored suits may soon be dealing with one of the legal variety as this odd story plays out.
The Louisville Courier-Journal is reporting that Pitino, the University of Louisville men's basketball coach, told police that he had consensual sex with Karen Cunagin Sypher at a Louisville restaurant where he'd been drinking on Aug. 1, 2003.
Pitino went on the tell the cops that he'd paid Sypher $3,000 to have an abortion following their tryst, but denies her claims of rape at the restaurant Porcini and again at a different location.
The Courier-Jounral was forced to use Kentucky open records laws to acquire the information.
The paper reports that Sypher has been indicted by a federal grand jury on charges of conspiring to extort Pitino and lying to the FBI, both of which she has pleaded not guilty to. She reported the alleged rapes to Metro Police on July 9, about two months after she was indicted.
Sgt. Andy Abbott said in an investigative summary that Sypher failed, for example, to disclose that another person was at Porcini Restaurant when she said the first incident occurred.
That witness, Vinnie Tatum, an executive assistant to Pitino, told the FBI that he didn't see what happened but heard "only the sounds of two people that seemed to be enjoying themselves during a sexual encounter," according to Abbott's report.
Abbott said records also indicate that Pitino was in California when Sypher claimed he sexually assaulted her a second time. "The more information I gather, the worse it looks for you," Abbott told Sypher during a July 13 phone interview, according to a transcript of the call.
The Commonwealth's Attorney has said there will be no charges in the incident.
