New Orleans explodes with joy after Saints winPosted: 09 February 2010 0311 hrs
NEW ORLEANS, Louisiana: A city nearly destroyed by a hurricane five years ago exploded with joy as the New Orleans Saints upset the Indianapolis Colts, 31-17 to win their first Super Bowl.
Happy hangovers awaited the ecstatic fans who poured into the streets of the French Quarter late Sunday to celebrated the win by their beloved Saints in true cajun style.
A city famous for its diversions – Mardi Gras parades, Jazz music and colourful politics, to name a few – set aside all distractions to focus on the big game.
Even the strippers on bawdy Bourbon Street stopped dancing. Instead, they joined thousands of revellers cheering the Saints at nearby bars.
“We have no music, no stages. It’s the first time I’ve seen a club shut down and I’ve been doing this for five years,” said Sam Stonebraker, 34, a host at Rick’s Cabaret.

Boston Strip Clubs: LESSONS LEARNED, PART 2: Brockton cracks down on city bill-paying after …

February 8th, 2010 by roxy

… Vasapollo, 67, of 42 Gifford St., Brockton, was arrested at his home on Sept. 11 on three felony charges of attempted extortion and one charge of federal program bribery. He pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court on Tuesday to three felony charges of extortion and one charge of federal program bribery.
 The federal charge was lodged because the money Vasapollo misused came from a Community Development Block Grant, a federal  program.
Vasapollo, who had been out on unpaid sick leave at the time of his arrest, was fired after his indictment from his city job and now awaits sentencing in federal court on April 28.
Vasapollo took cash-filled envelopes, totaling more than $4,000, from the Norwood contractor during meetings  in parking lots, including one payment made outside the Foxy Lady strip club. The scheme dated back to at least 2007, according to federal officials and the indictment.

Boston Massage Parlors: Fifth Official: Team Terry out in full force – Barclays Premier League

February 8th, 2010 by mplover

Perhaps Avram Grant’s visits to the massage parlour are rubbing off (ahem) on his squad, given their immensely accommodating attitude at Old Trafford. The moment any lingering hopes about their survival were extinguished came when Dimitar Berbatov was allowed to control the ball, do two fancy pirouettes inside the area, then amble outside before firing into the corner as six Pompey defenders acted like they were waiting in line at the Fratton Park canteen.
I think Pompey should sack Grant and employ his wife instead. They say opposites attract and my word they must in this case, seeing as Avram’s got no personality and his wife has got about seven. After all, this is a woman who has necked her own urine on television, as well as lounging in a bath of chocolate and spaghetti. Her response when Avram mentioned the massage parlour visits? “He phoned me to warn me about the publication and my response was ”Yes, and?’ If he has gone to a brothel it is no one’s business. He needs a massage not from one woman but two. Morning and night. He’s a great manager with amazing potential who is stuck in a s****y team.”

New Orleans explodes with joy after Saints win
Ecstatic fans poured into the streets of the French Quarter late Sunday as storm-scarred New Orleans celebrated its first-ever Super Bowl win by their beloved Saints.
A city famous for diversions – Mardi Gras, music and colorful politics, to name a few – set aside distractions to focus on the big game.
Even the strippers on bawdy Bourbon Street stopped dancing. Instead, they joined thousands of revelers cheering the Saints on live television sets at nearby bars.
“We have no music, no stages. It’s the first time I’ve seen a club shut down and I’ve been doing this for five years,” said Sam Stonebraker, 34, a host at Rick’s Cabaret.

… Who dat say dey gonna beat dem Saints! Who dat? Who Dat!,” a crowd in a French Quarter restaurant chanted, after the team scored their first touchdown.
A city famous for diversions – Mardi Gras, music and colourful politics, to name – set aside distractions to focus on the big game.
Even the strippers on bawdy Bourbon Street stopped dancing. Instead, thousands of revelers cheered the Saints on live television sets at nearby bars.
“We have no music, no stages. It’s the first time I’ve seen a club shut down and I’ve been doing this for five years,” said Sam Stonebraker, 34, a host at Rick’s Cabaret, a gentleman’s club. “The game is pretty much a once-in-a-lifetime event in this city.”
On a typical night, the club has 40 “entertainers” dancing on stage – not tonight.
A few doors down, the Temptations strip club was also upstaged by the Saints Super Bowl.

Boston Strip Clubs: Airwaves: Super Bowl ads are sure to create a buzz

February 8th, 2010 by roxy

… The No. 1 body part discussed all week was the ankle injury to Colts superstar defensive end Dwight Freeney. Never has an injury to a non-QB been covered so closely and in such great depth. Obviously this guy is a great, great player. All indications are that he will try to play, but will be very limited. He is clearly the third-best player on the field behind Peyton Manning and Drew Brees. It is a shame he is hobbling because he is a difference maker.
•Boisterous and outspoken New York Jets coach Rex Ryan’s middle finger got him in hot water this week. He was attending a mixed martial arts fight while in Miami and apparently some drunk Dolphins fan would not stop harassing the very confident Ryan. Rex responded by flipping the moron the bird. I only have two comments on the matter that cost Ryan a $50,000 fine by the Jets.
No. 1: When you are in Miami, why would you go to some stupid MMA fight? Were all the strip clubs and martini bars closed?

Boston Massage Parlors: Villa-in of the week?

February 7th, 2010 by mplover

ENGLISH football columnist James Lawton reckoned last week that Robbie Keane’s move to Celtic was less than wise, indeed he concluded that it was hard not to view it “as a joke”. Nevertheless, he spoke of the Irish captain being hailed as a ‘Messiah’ on his arrival at the club around midnight where, he told us, he “was greeted by an estimated 2,000 loyalists”. Jeez, no wonder Robbie looked nervous.
TZOFIT Grant , wife of Portsmouth manager Avram, is, by all accounts, a lively character, perhaps best known for the time she drank her own urine on her Israeli TV show. When it was revealed last week that her husband had been spotted visiting an, eh, massage parlour her reaction was, naturally enough, sought. Did she lose the plot? Well, not quite.

FT LAUDERDALE, Fla. Super Bowl XLIV shouldn’t have a hard time matching the week-long hype.
With the exception of New Orleans Saints defensive coordinator Gregg Williams’ “remember-me” shots comment aimed at Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, the week leading up to tonight’s big showdown has been pretty tame.
There’s been no reports of curfews missed.
There’s been no players getting arrested at strip clubs.
There’s been no word of brawls breaking out at Super Bowl parties in South Beach.
As a reporter for a Thailand newspaper put it on Thursday, “This has been a pretty boring Super Bowl week.”
The story lines are quite compelling.
Drew Brees vs. Peyton Manning; No. 1 vs. No. 1; Archie’s team vs. Archie’s son.

Boston Strip Clubs: Kickback scandal in Brockton triggers changes at City Hall

Last update Feb 06, 2010 @ 11:42 PM
First in a two-part series
In November 2007, when the City Council was going to bat to get Joseph L. Vasapollo Jr. his certification as a state building inspector, Vasapollo was in the parking lot of the Foxy Lady strip club, delivering a city check to a contractor in exchange for kickback money.
Vasapollo never got his certification, but he did get caught in the criminal kickback scheme.
The 67-year-old city resident was fired from his $91,631-a-year job as building superintendent soon after being indicted last September — and on Tuesday, he pleaded guilty to federal extortion and bribery charges. Vasapollo will be sentenced in April.
Now, in the wake of that scandal in the Building Department, the city says it has learned its lesson and changed its way of doing business.
