powered by FreeFind McFarlane batte Tony Twist!
La Corte d'Appello dello stato del Missouri ha accolto la richiesta di rigetto effettuata nel Novembre 2000, per una ingiunzione di pagamento di una penale di ben 24,5 milioni di dollari contro Todd McFarlane da parte dell'ex giocatore di hockey Tony Twist.
La sentenza di 35 pagine emessa ufficialmente nella prima settimana di Agosto dal giudice James R. Dowd scagiona completamente l'artista canadese.
Il motivo del contenzioso è facilmente intuibile per i vecchi fan di Spawn. Tony Twist, allora membro della squadra di hockey dei St. Louis Blues, aveva accusato McFarlane di aver usato il suo nome per un personaggio apparso su Spawn, Antonio Twistelli soprannominato per l'appunto Tony Twist.
Tutt'altro che una figura positiva, il Tony Twist del fumetto altro non era che un grasso boss della mala, assassino, cocainomane dedito all'alcool ed alla prostituzione. Un bel quadretto che fece letteralmente imbestialire l'atleta statunitense. Da qui la controversia giudiziaria avallata in prima istanza dal giudice Robert H. Dierker Jr.
"Questa era una caso relativo al Primo Emendamento, puro e semplice", ha dichiarato Todd McFarlane alla conclusione del processo. "Questa sentenza riconferma che il fumetto è un importante medium narrativo, con il pieno diritto della completa protezione del Primo Emendamento; qualcosa che noi della comunità fumettistica abbiamo sempre saputo.”

After three weeks of quiet, Randi weighs in from China . Nice to see they kept him busy spreading the creed of skepticism. I sometimes wonder, as Feng Shui and pseudo-Eastern religious and superstitious knowledge invades our country what's happening back East. Go, Randi!
Then there's this, which Randi helpfully passes along, from Uri Gellar's lawyers: In addition to Nintendo's unauthorized use of Geller's identity, name and his signature image of a bent spoon, there is also a star on the Pokemon Geller character's forehead and lighting-bolts on his chest. Lighting bolts symbolized the notorious Nazi SS during World War II. +1 in the Game to Uri Gellar.

Court agrees comic book free to use Twist's name
ST. LOUIS (AP) Former NHL player Tony Twist's rights were not violated when his name was borrowed for a violent mob enforcer in the popular "Spawn" comic book series, a state appeals court ruled Tuesday. The Missouri Court of Appeals' Eastern District said comic book creator Todd McFarlane was free to use Twist's name in his work of fiction partly because the only resemblance between the player and the character was a reputation for violence. "We conclude that a reader could not reasonably believe that the Twist comic book character is meant to portray, in actual fact, Twist the hockey player," the three-judge panel said in an opinion written by Judge James R. Dowd. Tuesday's ruling upheld a St. Louis circuit judge's November 2000 dismissal of a $24.5 million jury award for Twist. Twist said McFarlane violated his rights by using his name without authorization. He also argued that McFarlane cost him endorsements and other business by associating his name with a character who is a brutal Mafia killer.

Humor Sports Eclectica ... Mailing List Evil Tony's European Vacation By Evil Tony Fernandez
Go straight to the Evil Ending
European Vacation One thing that is disconcerting is the lack of American sports in the newspapers and on television. Our hotel had CNN, but it was CNN World, which means that it focused on the rest of the world. I now know more than a person should about the Euro 2000 Soccer tournament (more on that later), Wimbledon tennis (ditto), and auto racing. I could only get the baseball scores once per day and had no idea that the White Sox had opened up a 10 game lead over the Indians. It makes one want to go out and watch some baseball. The Value Of The Euro Is Falling Anyway, France won the tournament and it seemed like they were very lucky. They won in overtime, on questionable calls, etc. Unlike the World Cup, however, the games were not being played in France, so there was no home country bias. Still, they were very lucky to win; trailing 1-0 to Italy in the final game until 3 minutes were left, when France scored. In overtime, the French won the European championship. My only regret was that we left the country as the final game was being played. I can only imagine what the party would have been like after the French win. On The Grass The men seem to be heading toward Agassi versus Sampras, again. Agassi has played well enough to reach the semifinals despite not being particularly overwhelming. He had to serve his way out of trouble in the quarterfinals and will now face Patrick Rafter. Sampras reportedly has tendonitis of his ankle, but he has been making his way through the draw anyway.

BOSTON Gordie Howe once described hockey as "a man's game." But how many NHL players have the guts to do what Howard Bloom is doing right now? In a tightly packed locker room that holds the smell of sweat as effectively as any little glass bottle contains perfume, the goalkeeper for the Boston Lobsters stands up and begins undressing himself before a gay man. Not just one gay man but a room full of homosexuals, who are also getting naked. That's what hockey players do after games. They get clean. They drop their clothes, go into the shower, lather up, towel off and get dressed again. All the while talking great goals, and maybe, the bars they're going to hit later. It's a ritual older than the building that houses this locker room, Matthews Arena, where the NHL's Bruins played before moving into the Boston Garden. Bloom, a straight, married player on a gay hockey team, exists in a world turned inside out. It's a world beyond the imagination, and desire, of many straight athletes, who suspect they would be looked at in a sexual manner by gay teammates.

Alright. Finally something a little different. Here's a little look at Mark Janssens. Mark survived an injury that almost ended his hockey career in an IHL game against Salt Lake as a Denver Ranger to move on to the NHL. While never a dominating fighter, he was almost always entertaining. After the injury, which took place in a fight, he almost always fought with his back to the boards.

    SportsBriefs: Clemens to Appeal Fine; NFL Approves Cap for 2003; Court Overturns Twist Award; Kathy Freeman Sued November 6, 2000 Clemens to Appeal Fine As expected New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens has appealed the $50,000 fine Major League Baseball levied against Clemens as a result of the broken bat throwing incident during game two of the World Series. "The excessiveness of the fine suggests that they believe he intended to hit Piazza when Roger knows he did not,'' said Clemens' agent, Randy Hendricks in an Associated Press report. "The size of the fine is a de facto determination that he did have intent,'' said Gene Orza, the No. 2 official of the players' association. "The magnitude of it is a backdoor way of saying he did have intent, even though they said he didn't have intent. "Roger just wants an opportunity to state his side of the case,'' Orza said. "He wants Piazza to know that he did not even see Piazza when he threw the bat.'' (Sportsbusinessnews.com) NFL Owners Approve Salary Cap for 2003 NFL owners approved an agreement between the NFLPA and the league's Management Council to cap the 2003 season. The owners also voted to have 2004 an uncapped year and allow players to become free agents after six years, not the current four. But that "likely will change if there is an extension" of the CBA.

    Former NHL Player Wins $24.5 Million in Misappropriation Suit Tony Twist claimed use of name in comic book required compensation St. Louis, Missouri, July 11, 2000 Former St. Louis Blues enforcer Tony Twist was awarded a whopping $24.5 million in his lawsuit against a comic book creator over the use of his name. The ruling came in Twist’s lawsuit prompted by Todd McFarlane’s creation of a character named "Twist" in the comic book "Spawn" and an animated series on HBO. In Spawn, "Twist," also known as "Antonio Twistelli," is a vile, vulgar mobster who was also known as Don Dracula. Twist, who has been out of the game since last June and is recovering from injuries suffered in a motorcycle wreck last August, testified that the character reduces his opportunities to endorse products and harms his aspirations for a post-hockey career of public speaking and sports broadcasting. Sports fans may remember McFarlane as the man who paid over $3 million for the baseball mark McGwire hit for his record 70th home run two years ago. In a published response to a fan’s letter, McFarlane had acknowledged that the "Twist" character was named after a player on the Quebec Nordiques, Tony Twist’s former team. According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, when asked by Twist’s lawyer at trial if he knew of Twist when he named the character, McFarlane stated that "he may have come across it in the sports pages." McFarlane testified that had he wanted to give a character name recognition, he would have picked a name other than Tony Twist’s. McFarlane told a St. Louis Circuit Court jury he would have come up with something such as "Wayneatelli Gretzkytello." McFarlane did acknowledge that he attaches the names of friends and others to his characters but insisted that he never bases his characters’ personas on real people.

    Hockey Quotes
    FEBRUARY - MARCH 1996
    WHAT A BOD! - Left wing Shawn Burr's reaction to a shirtless Eric Lindros: "Man is that guy ripped. I mean, I've got the washboard stomach, too. It's just that mine has about two months of laundry on top of it". STREAKERS - Ranger captain Mark Messier on the loss to the Islanders which ended the Rangers' 24 game home unbeaten streak: "We have to go on now and start another streak". HARD AS A ROCK - Blues coach Mike Keenan after a 7-1 loss to Ottawa: "I can't think of any time we've hit rock bottom this year any harder than this". SHOOTOUT - Devils forward John Maclean on New Jersey's 6-5 victory over Montreal: "For a while it seemed like a race to 10". NO WAITING - Colorado coach Marc Crawford on playing Chicago on Friday after losing to them 4-3 on Thursday: "It's not like football where you have to wait a week". SOME PEOPLE JUST CAN'T TAKE A JOKE - Bernadette Mansur, then NHL Vice-President for Communications on excluding the Hanson Brothers from the All-Star Weekend festivities: "We applaud everything Anheuser-Busch does to promote hockey, (but the Hansons are) part of a retro old-time image of the game...better suited to the minor leagues than the NHL". THE LONG ROAD HOME...OR MAYBE NOT - Glenn Anderson has been there and back. After signing with the Canucks as a free agent he was claimed on waivers by one of his his former teams, the Edmonton Oilers. Anderson had said that he was returning to the NHL (he had played in Europe earlier this season) to score his 500th goal, his 600th assist, and win another Stanley Cup. Glen Sather's reaction: "Good, I'll take all three". The problem is that Anderson had wanted very much to play for Vancouver because that is where his family lives. It seems that when I want something, there is someone higher up in the league who puts me down," said Anderson, "I'm just a small pawn in a big chess game that benefits them more than it benefits me. And they just look at me as a small player".
