Inspired by the Patriots' 'Pecs, Lies, and Videotape' scandal, the Chicks find it appropriate, if not timely, to pay homage to famous cheaters in history. Of course, it's important to remember that Patriots team leaders are innocent until proven guilty. (You know...just like in Michael Vick's case.) But since we're feeling a little randy after a Thursday night happy hour, we figured why not get all "libelous with it" and kick the Pats while their down!
And Now...The Top Ten "Chicks Cheat Sheet"
Cry Me A River:
#10 Britney Spears- As if this poor girl didn't have enough baggage... She'll go down in pop history as the tart who broke J.T.'s heart. But unlike most cheating victims, the man who 'brought sexy back' refused to suffer in silence. He turned his heartbreak over Britney's alleged infidelity into a hit song and a successful solo career. There's something to be said about that whole "last laugh" theory.
"I did NOT have sexual relations with that woman." (Or Did I...)
#9 Bill Clinton- Slick Willy lead the country during one of its most prosperous times in recent history, was a vocal champion of civil rights for minorities and became the first Democratic president to appoint a female Supreme Court justice. With that said, he'll likely best be known for getting a b.j. from one of his interns and staining her pretty black dress.
Reality Bites
#8 Mike Tyson- During a knock down, drag out rematch versus Evander Holyfield in 1997, Mike Tyson decided to take the saying "fighting tooth and nail" a little too literally. He sunk his teeth into his opponent's ear twice during the fight. But Tyson says it was only to avenge a head butt Holyfield threw his way earlier in the evening. Tyson was eventually disqualified for his antics. (Talk about taking a bite out of crime...)
Bad Boy
#7 Diddy- This rap mogul hasn't just been busy planting his seed in the music industry. Sean "Don't Call me P. Diddy or Puffy But Call Me Diddy, (At Least for Now)" Combs is well known in the music industry as a ladies man and rolling stone. His well publicized fling with Latina Lover J.Lo. just so happened to coincide with his long term relationship with baby mama Kim Porter. Not to mention recent rumors Sean created another "little Diddy" with an Atlanta woman soon after Porter gave birth to his twins.
Don't Even Ask What the "F" Stands For...
#6 John F. Kennedy, Jr.- As if it's not hard enough knowing your husband is cheating on you with a Hollywood sex symbol, imagine having that very skank serenade him in front of you on his birthday? First Lady or not, somebody would have been wearing that cake!
Everything's Coming Up Rosie
#5 Rosie Ruiz- You may not know her name, but her story is infamous. Rosie Ruiz was the first woman to cross the finish line in the Boston Marathon with the third fastest time ever recorded for a female. Problem is, Rosie didn't run the whole race. She popped on the scene in the final half-mile and sprinted toward the finish line. She'd apparently pulled a similar stunt in the New York Marathon, riding the subway for the majority of the race.
Ex and the City
#4 Carrie Bradshaw- She's every woman's best friend, because she's her own worst enemy. Fictional character Carrie Bradshaw completely screwed up her relationship with the perfect man, a.k.a Aiden Shaw, so she could hump around with her bad boy, commitment phobic ex, Mr. Big. The story line did little more than reinforce notions that women really do like to be treated like crap. Aiden eventually took Carrie back, only to be dumped again after Carrie refused to set a wedding date. And wouldn't you know it, she ended up with Mr. Wrong Big in the end.
Cold as Ice
#3 Tonya Harding- Trailer trash figure skater Tonya Harding came up with a stroke of genius to win the 1994 Winter Olympics: "If you can't beat 'em, beat 'em!" Harding hired her ex-husband and a family friend to club then rival Nancy Kerrigan in the knee at a practice session during the 1994 U.S. Figure Skating Championships. Harding went on to find a healthier way to channel her insanity: competitive boxing.
Oh God, You Devil!
#2 Diego Maradona- During the quarterfinals of the 1986 World Cup, Diego Maradona of Argentina scored a miraculous goal he went on to coin as the "Hand of God" to win the game. What referees didn't realize until later is that it was actually Diego's hand that punched the ball past the goalkeeper. Argentina went on to win the World Cup. Diego finally admitted he had a "hand" in the team's success...a mere 14 years later.
Blame Whitey
#1 1919 White Sox- The team once known as the "best in baseball" in 1919 suffered one of the biggest disgraces in sports history. The White Sox, a heavy favorite to defeat the Cincinnati Reds in the World Series, lost the championship title in 8 games. 8 team members were later accused of conspiring with gamblers to fix the Series. They earned the title of the "Black Sox" and were forever banned from the sport.
