NFL: Former N.Y. Giants Coach, Allie Sherman, Dies At 91
Allie Sherman, the diminutive son of Russian immigrants who coached the Giants to NFL championship games in his first three seasons, has died. He was 91. Sherman's family said Monday that he died Saturday at his Manhattan home. Sherman's Giants lost to the Packers in the 1961 and 1962 championship games and to the Bears in the 1963 title game. He was the NFL Coach of the Year in 1961 and 1962 and finished 57-51-4 in eight seasons with the Giants. At 5-foot-10 and 160 pounds, Sherman played quarterback at Brooklyn College and spent five seasons in the NFL as a backup with the Eagles. Sherman served as the Giants' backfield coach from 1949-52 and was 36-26-2 as the head coach of the Canadian Football League's Winnipeg Blue Bombers from 1953-57. He returned to the Giants as a scout in 1958, took over as offensive coach in 1959 when Vince Lombardi left for the Packers and became head coach when Jim Lee Howell retired after the 1960 season. Sherman was born in Brooklyn in 1923. He's survived by wife Joan, son Randy, daughters Lori Sherman and Robin Klausner and two grandchildren.

Dish Network To Offer ESPN ON Its New Internet Service
The cable companies' run at the monopoly board is still going strong, but now there's another sign that they may be out of the game soon. Dish, which first irked cable companies with its satellite-television service almost 20 years ago, will soon offer an Internet alternative for cable television. Yeah, big deal, HBO and CBS both announced online subscription packages late last year, you say. But here's what makes Dish's offering even more of a backbreaker for cable companies: live sports.
Dish's Sling TV will offer a bundle of live cable television networks, including jock giant ESPN, for viewing on tablets, smart phones, and supported televisions. Among the 10 other cable networks in the package include CNN, Food Network, and The Travel Channel. As cord-cutters flock to digital subscriptions services like Hulu Plus, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix, other find themselves tied to Comcast, Time Warner and others because of sports. The availability of ESPN apart from a binding cable contract could change all that.

Former Cosby Show Star, Keshia Knight Pulliam, Talks About Bill’s Rape Allegations
Cosby’s TV daughter, Keshia Knight Pulliam, has finally addressed the rape allegations against him. On Sunday's premiere of Celebrity Apprentice, Pulliam, the project manager for her team's task, was heavily criticized and ultimately fired for not calling Cosby for donations. At the time of filming nearly a year ago, and prior to the onslaught of accusations against Cosby, the actress said she hadn't spoken to him in five years and felt uncomfortable reaching out for money in a lengthy, now-awkward boardroom scene. "I really believe, if you'd called that gentleman, he would've helped you, even if you hadn't spoken to him in years. What I can say is this: I wasn't there, no one was there, except for the two people to know exactly what happened," she said. "All I can speak to is the man I know and I love the fact that he has been such an example and you can't take away from the great that he has done, the millions and millions of dollars he has given back to colleges and education, and just what he did with The Cosby Show and how groundbreaking that was."
More than 20 women have come forward since November with sexual assault allegations against Cosby. When asked if she was shocked by the allegations, Pulliam added, "Ultimately it's just that: allegations. And it's been very much played out in the court of public opinion. But we're still in America where you're innocent until proven guilty and I wasn't there and that's just not the man I know, so I can't speak to it."

NHL: Flyers Fined For Traveling During Holiday Break
The Flyers were fined an undisclosed amount for violating the collective bargaining agreement by traveling during a holiday break, the NHL announced Sunday. Online flight records showed the Flyers took a flight from Philadelphia to Nashville the night of Dec. 26. Players are barred from traveling or practicing from Dec. 24-26 under the latest CBA. Part of that agreement was adding the extra day off over the holidays, which meant that some teams scheduled for games on Dec. 27 would have game-day travel. Flyers general manager Ron Hextall said the team accepted the fine. "The players came to me weeks ago. They wanted to travel the day before as opposed to the day of the game. I talked to them, they said everybody was on board," he said. "Once I went through the whole thought process -- we pay guys a lot of money, we're in the hunt for a playoff spot, we want to give our team every chance to win. If we're not giving them every chance, I'm not sure how fair we're being to the players. We decided to go and accept the consequences."

MLB: Phillies Sign Aaron Harang For 1 Tear At $5,000,000
The Plillies and pitcher Aaron Harang have agreed to a one-year, $5 million deal. The 36-year-old right-hander had a bounce-back year after signing with the Braves before last season, finishing 12-12 with a 3.57 ERA in 33 starts. He pitched 204 1/3 innings, the first time he surpassed 200 innings since 2007, when he was with the Reds. "Aaron brings a wealth of experience and durability to our rotation," Phillies general manager Ruben Amaro Jr. said in a statement. "He had a very solid season for the Braves last year and will complement the left-handers in our rotation nicely." Harang is 122-128 with a 4.21 ERA. In 2007, he finished fourth in National League Cy Young voting after going 16-6 with a 3.73 ERA in 34 starts. He was paid $1 million in 2014.

NFL: Former Redskins Player, Fred Smoot, Acquitted Of Assault
Former Redskins player, defensive back Fred Smoot has been acquitted of misdemeanor domestic assault following a bench trial in Virginia. Smoot testified in his own defense Monday in Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court. He denied hitting his former girlfriend, Valerie Jackson, though he admitted kicking down a bathroom door in an effort to retrieve a set of car keys from her. The judge said the evidence amounted to a case of "he said, she said" in announcing the not-guilty verdict. Smoot was suspended from local TV and radio jobs as a football analyst following his arrest in November. He said he now hopes to get his jobs back. Smoot's nine-year NFL career ended with the Redskins in 2009. He also played two seasons for the Vikings.

NFL: The Rams Could Be Moving Back To L.A., Soon
The Rams could be headed back to Los Angeles as early as 2016. A year after purchasing 60 acres of land in Inglewood adjacent to the Forum and Hollywood Park, Rams owner Stan Kroenke has teamed up with the owners of the Hollywood Park site to build an NFL stadium. Stockbridge Capital Group, which owns the 298-acre Hollywood Park site, already had plans for a mixed-use community on the land that formerly housed the famed thoroughbred racing track, which closed in late 2013. Signature gathering will begin soon for an initiative that would place the "City of Champions Revitalization Project" on the Inglewood municipal ballot in 2015. if it passes, construction on the project would begin by the end of the year. "This project is going forward," Inglewood mayor James T. Butts Jr. said at a news conference in front of Inglewood City Hall on Monday. "We're thrilled in the City of Inglewood. Here we are in in the position to build that field of dreams and hope that they'll come." Butts said he spoke to Kroenke about the project over the weekend but would not comment on any conversations with the NFL. As described in the ballot measure, the project will include a stadium of up to 80,000 seats and a performance venue of up to 6,000 seats while reconfiguring the previously approved Hollywood Park plan for up to 890,000 square feet of retail, 780,000 square feet of office space, 2,500 new residential units, a 300 room hotel and 25 acres of public parks, playgrounds, open space and pedestrian and bicycle access.

At a separate news conference at the Hollywood Park site, Chris Meany, senior vice president of Hollywood Park Land Company, said they were committed to beginning construction on the stadium with or without a commitment from an NFL team. The declaration, not to mention the involvement of a current NFL owner, sets it apart from other "shovel-ready" stadium proposals that have always first required a team committing to playing there before construction could begin. "I've heard that there's a lot of talk about a lot of sites that have been out there for a very long time, for years and years and years," Meany said. "I don't see shovels in the ground on those projects. We're putting our shovels in the ground and going forward. This is the location in Los Angeles that for decades was the best location for sports and entertainment." The stadium authorized by the ballot measure will be designed by HKS Inc., one of the world's leading firms for the design of sports and entertainment complexes. A successful ballot measure would shorten the time frame for Inglewood's approval of a stadium and would mean that professional sports could return to Inglewood by 2018. Many proposed stadium plans have come and gone in the hopes of bringing the NFL back to Los Angeles after the city lost both the Raiders and Rams after the 1994 season, but none of those plans were ever backed by a current NFL owner capable of moving his team into the country's second-largest market.

The 80,000-seat stadium would be designed to house multiple teams and would be covered but open from the sides and be able to not only hold football and soccer games but also be in the running to bid on events such as the Final Four and major prizefights. It would also conceivably be part of Los Angeles' bid to host the 2024 Olympics and possible future bids for the World Cup. "We're going to have the most important, good-looking, best, state-of-the-art sports venue in the western United States, if not the world, and we'll be ready when people want to use it," Meany said. "We hope to attract more than our fair [share] of large-scale events here. I can't speak for what the NCAA would do, but we have designed a building that would be perfect to house the Final Four. We have not had any talk with the Olympic organizing committee, but we think we'll have a venue that will enhance Los Angeles' opportunities." Meany and Butts were careful not to call the stadium an "NFL stadium" or claim that it was being built to house an NFL team, but it was clear that was the underlying expectation as a handful of Rams fans cheered from a distance during both news conferences. "When the Lakers and Kings left [inglewood], they left for what was a better offer," Butts said. "We're not trying to take anybody's team. These are businesspeople. They make business decisions. But if the best, newest stadium in the world is in Inglewood, I'd imagine that someone would be interested."

The Rams are expected to convert their lease at St. Louis' Edward Jones Dome to a year-to-year agreement later this month, and if the team and the city fail to come to an agreement to build a new stadium, the Rams could move back to the area they called home from 1946 to 1994. On Monday, a representative of the two-man task force working on a St. Louis stadium proposal released a statement on behalf of former Anheuser-Busch president Dave Peacock and local attorney Bob Blitz. "The news today is another reminder of how much competition there can be for National Football League franchises and projects that include NFL stadiums, but it does not change our timeline or approach," the statement read. "It is important to remember this will be a long-term process, but one that the State of Missouri and the St. Louis region are fully pledged to seeing through. We are ready to demonstrate our commitment to keeping the NFL here, and to continue to illustrate why St. Louis has been and will always be a strong NFL market. We will present a plan to Governor Jay Nixon this Friday as scheduled, and we expect that it will meet his criteria, thereby allowing us to share our vision with the public shortly thereafter. In the meantime, we will continue to have discussions with the NFL, as well as Rams leadership."

Developers of the Hollywood Park project said that no tax dollars would be used for the construction project, including the stadium and more than 4 million square feet of retail, office, hotel and residential space, which could be completed by 2018. Before construction can begin, however, the project must pass several political and environmental hurdles and the Rams must, of course, commit to moving back to Los Angeles after the 2015 season. "We are excited to unveil an expanded plan that will bring a world-class sports and entertainment district to Hollywood Park," Terry Fancher, founder of Stockbridge, said in a release. "We are committed to working with [the Kroenke Group] to build a project that will put Inglewood back on the map as home of the truly great sports and entertainment venues." Any NFL franchise interested in relocating for the next season would have to apply between Jan. 1 and Feb. 15 of that year, according to league bylaws, and prove it has exhausted all attempts to remain in its current location. The earliest a team could relocate to Los Angeles would be January 2016, and that team would likely play in either the L.A. Coliseum or the Rose Bowl until a new stadium is completed.

Screech, Saved By The Bell, To Stand Trial For Stabbing
Actor Dustin Diamond, better known as the generously coiffed and endearing geek Screech in the 1990s teen high-school drama Saved By The Bell, has been ordered to stand trial for a stabbing that happened on Christmas day. A Wisconsin judge charged Diamond, 37, with reckless endangerment, carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct following an incident that occurred in a Port Washington bar late on Christmas night. Diamond and his fiancée, who both live in the quaint Milwaukee suburb, allegedly got into it with two men and a woman, Diamond told police that he accidentally stabbed one of the men when he was defending his fiancée. The man suffered non-life-threatening wounds near his armpit. Police found a switchblade in Diamond's car shortly after the kerfuffle. If convicted, Diamond could face 10 years in jail.

Hackers To Get Their Own Show On Syfy
If your grandmother taught you anything, it's that computers are essentially open windows to your personal security that cyber-burglars will shimmy through in order to steal all your e-cash, take over your identity and go on a two-week binger in Cabo, and delete your Slow Jamz playlist on iTunes. Yes, hackers are now the scariest thing in the world, bringing Hollywood executives and bad comedy films to their knees while licking Cheetos dust off their fingers in anticipation of fondling your PayPal account.
Perhaps it's no surprise, then, that Syfy is donning its Guy Fawkes mask and entering the world of computer banditos with Hackers, a new reality series in which real hackers will share the details their internet-based crimes. The show is currently in development with Relativity Media, the fine purveyors who brought you the online masquerade party known as Catfish: The TV Series.
But the thing that really has me excited about Hackers is Syfy's press-release promise to use "sophisticated, never-before-seen digital graphics to create an experiential 'hacking' scene that exposes what actually happens when a computer network is broken into, including what goes on inside the mind of the hacker."

50 Pound Weight Loss For Kirstie Alley
Kirstie Alley has debuted a new body, again. The actress says she's dropped 50 pounds!
Alley revealed her weight loss on Today, telling Matt Lauer that she kept her promise that she'd dropped the weight by the New Year. Back in April, Alley, who's a paid spokesperson for Jenny Craig, said she planned to drop 30 pounds. Although she said she has an easy time losing weight, she struggles with keeping it off, but "this time it's different, my goal is to keep this and maintain this throughout my life," the actress explained. "I feel like I've conquered that now. I'm sort of hardheaded. You know, when I used to do drugs, it took me a while to quit, quit, quit, and then it was done. And I feel like that's occurred for me with my weight now."
Alley, who turns 64 soon, has been open about her weight struggles. Back in 2006, the Cheers alum walked on to the Oprah show in a bikini, showing off her 75-pound weight loss, but then put some of the weight back on before her first stint on Dancing with the Stars in 2011.
