Miami HEAT Fan Who Gave Joakim Noah the Middle Identified
It goes without saying that Miami HEAT haters rank high among sports journalists. So when a well-heeled Miami fan gave Chicago Bulls center Joakim Naoh the finger after he was ejected from game 2, the haters rushed to identify her.
Filomena Tobias, who goes by the name “Phyllis,” is the woman seen clutching her pricey red Chanel purse and giving Noah the business in a photo that went viral this morning.
The media is foaming at the mouth at Filomena’s sordid, made-for-TV past.
GO BACK TO CHICAGO!
The Miami HEAT held a cookout on their home court after hammering the Chicago Bulls 115-78 to even the second round series 1-1. Miami, led by a rejuvenated LeBron James, carved up the Chicago Bulls’ defense like a side of beef, handing the Bulls their worst lopsided loss in Bulls franchise history.
The Heat also broke a franchise record for the widest margin of victory in playoffs history.
LeBron, who won his 4th MVP trophy last weekend, scored all of his 19 points in the first half. He spent the 2nd half guiding his teammates to victory with thrilling no-look passes.
Manti Te’o, Geno Smith passed over in 1st round of NFL draft
Not one NFL team showed interest in former Notre Dame star Manti Te’o in the 1st round of Thursday’s 2013 NFL draft.
NFL scouts weary of Te’o's distracting presence in the NFL locker room declined to draft the former Heisman candidate who had a terrible showing in the NFL Combines in February.
If you recall, Te’o made headlines for mourning a dead girlfriend who didn’t exist.
A male friend later stepped forward to say he pretended to be Te’o's dead girlfriend for 3 years because he was in love with him. This led to rampant speculation that Te’o himself was gay.
West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith also wasn’t chosen in the 1st round — probably for the same reason that Te’o was passed over.

Rutgers Fires AD Tim Pernetti; FBI Investigates Eric Murdock
Rutgers has fired embattled athletic director Tim Pernetti (left), who staunchly defended men’s basketball coach Mike Rice after the coach was accused of assaulting his players.

The video footage was brought to the attention of university officials by former Rutgers director of player development Eric Murdock (right). Murdock’s contract was not renewed shortly after he came forward with the controversial video.
Now Murdock himself is under investigation — by the FBI.
