50 Cent was back in court on Wednesday (January 6th) asking the judge to slash the $7 million dollar penalty awarded to Rick Ross’ baby mama, Lastonia Leviston to $1.6 million. Incase you missed it, 50 was ordered to pay Leviston for leaking her sex tape online. 50, who’s currently battling bankruptcy, says he’s strapped for cash and wants the award reduced because, according to reports, “the $7 million award doubles up the emotional damages and the rest is excessive.” The judge said he would rule on the request by the end of the month. We’ll just have to stay tuned. Hopefully, this can all be worked out.
Boxing: Trouble Brewing? Floyd Mayweather Reportedly Won’t Agree To Failed Drug Test Penalty
Could another issue regarding drug testing possibly derail the biggest fight in the history of boxing? Most likely not since contracts have already been signed, but with the history between Mayweather and Pacquiao, you just can never believe the fight is going to be real until they are in the ring. Reportedly some trouble is brewing between the camps because Floyd allegedly will not agree to the same $5 million dollar penalty for a failed drug test that he asked Pacquiao to agree to. According to Leonard Ellerbe however, it is not Floyd’s fault and he has some harsh words for Manny and his camp.

(Video) NFL: The NFL Doesn’t Want Players Using The “N-Word” & Here Is How They Plan To Stop It
This has long been a word that instantly sparks debate & controversy and that will never change. While some people may accept it as common use and a word of endearment, there will also always be people who still believe it is a very disrespectful word and will never allow it to become part of their vocabulary. Yesterday ESPN did a special about the use of this word in sports in light of some recent incidents that involved athletes. I personally don’t believe a network such as ESPN had the right to make themselves the stage for such a debate, because the use of this word goes much deeper than just being used in sports, but some good points were brought up. The NFL is attempting to make sure the word is abolished from the league by penalizing players who use it on the field, but is it realistic to enforce such a rule? Hit the jump for more.
(Caught On Tape)**Graphic** Chinese Police Execution!!
No games played in China at all. It seems that unlike our ‘lethal injection’ method in the U.S. when it comes to the death penalty, China just uses a gun. In the footage, Chinese authorities remove a man from the back of a police van in front of a rather large crowd. Once he’s removed, they walk him past some tree –into an open lot, still visible by the crowd. In fact, during the walk and just before it came to an end for the man killed, police turned him around to acknowledge the crowd. After making the man kneel to the ground, they shoot him point blank with one shot to the head. Check out the actual video after the jump. Beware, It’s pretty graphic.
