FanHouse: Tue AM 'Kournikova's Return' Edition

We point out Ann Kournikova's possible newly single status not to because it's particularly exciting, but to examine how far the genre of lady-athlete-watching has come. It seems like eons ago that news outlets had to actually shoehorn sexy young women of indeterminate talent into sports stories. These days they can just put sexy teens on the front page of the Washington Post and say the bloggers made them do it.

In less Leather-related news:

• Exhibit 444 on why you should be skeptical when sports figures try to move into politics: Mike Shanahan Makes Broncos Take Lie Detector Tests
• At this rate, Chris Henry will be Tennessee's starting tailback.
• Alex Rodriguez Busted With a Blonde at a Strip Club: It's in the New York Post, so I'm sure this story will be gone soon. No way the tabs would get a month's worth of ink out of this.
• Must see: When Turtle Lookalikes, Mascots, and Crack Cocaine Meet
• This guy made a slow jam video to show off his hockey jerseys. Creepy, sad.
  
• Bomb sniffing dogs follow Barry everywhere he goes, and the guy paid to protect Hank Aaron talks about how he almost shot the two guys who patted Aaron on the back.
• Disney/head trauma synergy: ESPN, UFC Partnership Just a Matter of Time?
• Fresh, original, pedigreed Coach K hatred in May. Because we know you still need it.
• Schwarzenegger bets on hockey.
  

Scroll down to NASCAR for the image of John McCain's honest to goodness baby arm. If this is result of his time as a P.O.W. then, yes, you can reserve my spot in Ninth Circle.

Cheers,
JCN
