        <body>Central Florida had to cancel football coach George O'Leary's teleconference this week because school officials accidentally gave out the number to a phone sex line. 

Reporters didn't realise until an apparently innocent question about Coach O'Leary's plans to pound the ball for 60 minutes received a much more detailed answer than expected...</body>

  <body>&lt;p&gt;I have good news and bad news -- the Mets scored six runs in the first against &lt;strong&gt;Dave Bush&lt;/strong&gt; and the Brewers, and Bush is on my fantasy team. Still, the LTLs wait for no man:&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Jacksonville police say Jaguars RB &lt;strong&gt;Fred Taylor&lt;/strong&gt; yelled at them repeatedly during a traffic stop until they charged him with disorderly conduct. But Taylor tells a very different tale. He insists the cops were rabid fantasy football&amp;nbsp;players who kept threatening to &amp;quot;handcuff&amp;quot; him to &lt;strong&gt;Maurice Jones-Drew&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; The &lt;em&gt;Oprah Winfrey Show&lt;/em&gt;&amp;#39;s season premiere, being taped today in Chicago, will feature 150 U.S. Olympians. And this sounds exciting: The Olympians will bring their gold medals, while &lt;strong&gt;Oprah&lt;/strong&gt; has promised to break out a few bricks from her home vault for the audience.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Central Florida had to cancel football coach &lt;strong&gt;George O&amp;#39;Leary&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#39;s teleconference this week because school officials accidentally gave out the number to a phone sex line. Wow. That&amp;#39;s the most unbelievable story I&amp;#39;ve seen since O&amp;#39;Leary&amp;#39;s r&amp;eacute;sum&amp;eacute;. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; A Russian sumo wrestler who tested positive for marijuana insists he&amp;#39;s never used the drug and wants a new test. He swears the only thing he inhales is food.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; &lt;strong&gt;LeBron James&lt;/strong&gt; will be featured in an upcoming film about his high school career. In it, LeBron is adopted by a wealthy California family, but his athletic talents and the wrong-side-of-the-tracks chip on his shoulder lead to plenty of drama. Oops, sorry, that&amp;#39;s the &lt;em&gt;90210&lt;/em&gt; remake.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; Just-cut Lions RB &lt;strong&gt;Tatum Bell&lt;/strong&gt; reportedly swiped the bags of the man signed to replace him, &lt;strong&gt;Rudi Johnson&lt;/strong&gt;, from right outside team CEO &lt;strong&gt;Matt Millen&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;#39;s office. Just as well; the sooner Johnson learns to accept losing things, the better.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;bull; &lt;strong&gt;Programming schedule&lt;/strong&gt;: Caption This will be held today. September&amp;#39;s Write Your Own Joke (WYOJ) contest will kick off tomorrow afternoon, with the winners posted Friday morning. Also remember that the 10 Spot Real World Outing is fast approaching; it&amp;#39;s set for Saturday, Sept. 13. More details to come shortly.&lt;/p&gt;</body>
