The “Dark Side of Football” Season 1 participants would make a pretty darn good NFL roster – and the storylines should make for some entertaining TV.
The six, one-hour episodes of Vice’s “Dark Side of the Ring” spinoff will include an episode on Bill Belichick, another focused on the origins of the Oakland Raiders’ notorious reputation and a third that explores the league’s painkiller problem and the often tragic results of its unwritten rule to “play with the pain,” in the docuseries’ words.
And that’s literally just the half of it. Other subjects covered include violence among some hardcore fans, the pathetic (not last year!) Cleveland Browns, and one episode dedicated entirely to diva wide receivers, TheWrap has learned.
Participants interviewed for and appearing in the program include Chad Johnson, Mike Ditka, Plaxico Burress, Donte Stallworth, Jemele Hill, Bill Romanowski, Jim McMahon, Ricky Williams, Kyle Turley and Lincoln Kennedy,...

Baseball's all-time home run king Barry Bonds was sentenced to 30 days house arrest on Friday (Dec. 16) for obstructing justice during a federal investigation of his alleged steroid use. The slugger must also serve two years probation and 250 hours of community service as well as pay a $4,000 fine.
Bonds was convicted in April after offering misleading answers to the grand jury investigating Bay Area Laboratory Cooperative (Balco). Balco is the lab that was tied to supplying performance-enhancing drugs to numerous athletes including Olympian Marion Jones, NFLer Bill Romanowski and Bonds.
Bonds will serve his time in his Beverly Hills home.
Prosecutors wanted a 15-month prison term for Bonds as they claimed he never took responsibility for his actions.
"Bonds' pervasive efforts to testify falsely, to mislead the grand jury, to dodge questions, and to simply refuse to answer questions in the grand jury makes his conduct worthy of a significant jail sentence,...

In the first part of our "Drinking with the Stars" with Alan Ritchson at Eva Longoria's Hollywood restaurant, Beso, Zap2it's Jethro Nededog and Carina Adly MacKenzie spoke to him about playing "Smallville's" Aquaman. In Part 2 above, we chatted about his starring role on Spike TV's "Blue Mountain State."
In the comedy that follows an outrageous college football team in their quest for beer, women and a college championship, Ritchson plays Thad Castle - the overzealous team captain.
"The antics I get away with," Ritchson says of the "Bms" role. "Stuff you can't get away with in real life."
And while he plays the part to the hilt, Ritchson says he doesn't share a lot in common with Thad, but he does get him.
"He was the people that I grew up around -- all the douchebags in school that would pick on people," says Ritchson, who...

The top 10 best Adam Sandler movies. Comedian. Actor. Musician. Singer. Writer. Producer. Swell guy (probably). The sum of all these parts makes Adam Sander who he is today; a much loved and much viewed working entertainer. He makes us laugh. He makes it look easy. There are few comedic actors when have been at the top of the box office for as long as The Sandman, so let’s appreciate this multi-talented dude.
10. 50 First Dates (2004)
50 First Dates (not to be confused with the similar-sounding 51st State starring Samuel L. Jackson) is the 2nd collaboration between the Sandman and Drew Barrymore after The Wedding Singer.
Set in Hawaii, Sandler is Henry Roth, a ladies man (!) who falls for Drew’s character Lucy Whitmore. After managing to romance her, he wakes up the next morning to find she has forgotten who he is and has no prior knowledge of the previous day’s events.

A surprisingly faithful remake of the well-regarded 1974 prison pigskin movie, The Longest Yard trades Burt Reynolds for Adam Sandler and goes for the broader attack with generally pleasing results.
First, however, you have to be willing to buy Sandler as a former pro football player -- an MVP no less -- and while he's been convincing in the past as a waterboy and even a hockey player turned-golfer, this one's a taller order.
Get beyond that, and you'll likely be amused by this genial action comedy, even as you're reminded how perfectly cast the top-of-his-game Reynolds was in the Robert Aldrich-directed original.
For Sandler fans who haven't exactly been thrilled with some of his more grown-up choices of late, like Spanglish, his latest marks a return to the kind of vehicle that scores big points at the boxoffice while still showcasing the comedian in a more mature light.
He manages to get the smart-ass part down cold as Paul Crewe, a washed-up quarterback who was booted from the league for his part in a point-shaving scandal. After a drunken joyride in his demanding girlfriend's (Courteney Cox) Bentley (it was a much cooler Maserati in the original) escalates into a messy police pursuit, Crewe lands in a scary Texas prison.
There, he not only has to contend with taunting inmates who regard point shaving as shamefully un-American, but also a sadistic guard (William Fichtner) and an egotistical warden (James Cromwell ably filling Eddie Albert's shoes), who methodically persuades Crewe to put together a football team made up of his fellow convicts.
With some expert facilitating from Caretaker (Chris Rock, cracking wise) and some seasoned coaching from an old-timer (Reynolds in the Nate Scarborough role), Crewe turns his motley crew into the aptly named Mean Machine, ready to take on the prison guards in a bone-crunching game to end all games.
Collaborating with Sandler once again after 50 First Dates and Anger Management, director Peter Segal works off of a script credited to Sheldon Turner that, more often than not, is a scene-for-scene copy of the original, right down to snatches of dialogue.
While Segal opts for a lighter touch and broader characterizations, the film occasionally struggles to find the right balance between reverence for the Reynolds version and adherence to the Sandler formula, but an agreeable pace and a colorful cast helps smooth out some of those bumps along the way.
Rock's in fine comic form, while hip-hop artist Nelly makes a natural transition to movies as the team's star running back. Taking a cue from the original, a number of the prison guards are played by such real-life gridiron players as Bill Romanowski and Brian Bosworth, while others are better known from the pro wrestling circuit, including Steve Austin, Kevin Nash and Bill Goldberg.
And Sandler's Spanglish co-star Cloris Leachman is a hoot as the warden's oversexed secretary, a part played in the original by a very young Bernadette Peters.
