Olympian Equestrian Wears Mankini
Shane Rose, a three-time Olympic medalist has been sidelined for wearing a skimpy outfit to a very formal equestrian event. He wore a mankini, very similar to the one Borat wore, on a horse. He’s facing a review from Equestrian Australia and he could actually miss the Olympics because of his antics. Not only did he don the mankini, he was also seen in a gorilla costume and a beer outfit. He has since apologized for the risqué outfit. However he did not say why he decided to wear all the different outfits to a formal event and perform on a horse.

Man Denied $340 Million Lottery Jackpot
Woah. Imagine believing that you won a $340 million lottery jackpot. Literally life-changing money. You’d be elated. I would be. Well John Cheeks from Washington, DC checked his lottery numbers on the Powerball website and it showed that he won the $340 million jackpot. However, lottery official claim that a mistake was made by a contractor on their website. When Cheeks took his ticket to a local retailer, he was told that none of his numbers hit. He then went to the lottery offices and was told again that his numbers did not hit. The lottery officials told him, “Hey, this ticket is no good. Just throw it in the trash can.” Cheeks has brought a lawsuit against the lottery office and his ticket is now evidence. The lottery officials stand by the fact that it was just a mistake made by the contractor on the website.

The Fanatic Staff's Most Beloved Philly Athletes of All-Time
Tyrone Johnson- Charles Barkley
“My most beloved Philly athlete ever is Charles Barkley. By a pretty wide margin. AI is maybe 2nd or 3rd. But yea, it is definitely Barkley.”
Pat Egan- Jimmy Rollins
“Alright, Dawkins immediately came to mind. But I named my dog J-Roll, after Jimmy Rollins. I’m a huge Phillies fan. And I am very passionate about the fact he is a Hall of Famer.”
Andrew Salciunas- Carlos Ruiz
“The number 1 answer is Nick Foles. But I am not going to do that. Let’s go with Chooch. I loved Chooch. He was awesome, great catcher.”
Jen Scordo- Donovan McNabb
“This was more difficult than I thought it was going to be. My first thought went to Allen Iverson since he was the first Philly player when I was still living in Georgia I fully attached myself to. But then I got here, and McNabb was playing. So he is probably it. Though you know I love Joel Embiid, he is my best friend. And wait isn’t there a guy we work with who played pro sports? Ricky Bottalico?”
Ricky Bottalico- Jimmy Rollins
“I gotta go with Jimmy Rollins. I got to play with Jimmy in his younger days. Quite frankly I believe he belongs in the Hall of Fame. He will definitely be in the Wall of Fame.”
Tom Alvord- Chase Utley
“I was very close to picking Bryce Harper. I was bullied out of it by the rest of the Fanatic staff. If he wins a World Series, I think he goes to number 1. But I’ll have to say Chase Utley is my favorite.”
Ray Dunne- Ryan Howard
“Ryan Howard. I love home runs. Enough said.”
John Kincade- Nick Foles
“It comes down between two. They both gave me a championship. I am going to go with Nick Foles. But man I wanted to say Jimmy Rollins.”
Connor Thomas- Roy halladay
“Number 1 all-time for me has to be Roy Halladay. He was great. He was a great preparer. He was just class the whole way”
Bob Cooney- Chase Utley
“Now I am older than a lot of you looking at this right now. So most beloved Philly athlete of All-Time, is probably Bernie Parent. But I’ll take it closer to your guy’s age, and I will say during your guy’s time, Chase Utley. Because you are the man.”
