TIGER WOODS LOSES ANOTHER SPONSOR!

 

Procter & Gamble Co. will not renew its endorsement deal with golferTiger Woods at the end of the year, adding another name to the list of companies that cut ties with the golfer after last year's revelations of marital infidelities.

 

 

The company used Woods, Roger FedererLionel Messi and dozens of other athletes as part of its three-year "Gillette Champions" marketing campaign. Gillette said Thursday it was phasing out that program and not renewing the contract with Woods and several other athletes. It stopped using Woods himself in the campaign months ago.

The golfer was once the most sought-after pitchman in sports and was the first athlete to earn $1 billion from endorsement agreements. However, many corporations cut ties or distanced themselves from Woods after the scandal that broke just over a year ago and dominated headlines for months.

Accenture LLP, AT&T Inc. and Gatorade all dropped Woods as an endorser. Companies such as Gillette and Tag Heuer didn't end their relationships outright but stopped featuring him in advertisements.

Nike Inc. and Electronic Arts, which had more invested in his skills as a golfer rather than a more general symbol of excellence, stuck with him. Woods is trying to rebuild his golf reputation after his first year as a pro golfer without a tournament victory and losing his ranking as the top player in the world.

Gillette is also letting its contracts with other athletes, including soccer players such as Messi, Thierry Henry, and Kaka end as part of the conclusion of the marketing program.

Gillette, however, was keeping some of the athletes -- such as Federer, NHL star Alex Ovechkin and New York Yankees captain Derek Jeter -- for new local marketing campaigns.

DEREK JETER IS UPSET W/ YANKEES NEGOTIATIONS

Derek Jeter is happy to be back with the New York Yankees, but the All-Star shortstop is not happy with the way the negotiation for his new contract was handled.

At a press conference announcing the new three-year $51 million deal, that includes an option for a fourth year, the Yankee captain expressed his disgust in the way the contract negotiations became public.

"I'm going to be honest with you guys, the thing that bothered me the most was how public this became," said Jeter, who thought there was a perception he was being greedy and demanding. "This was a negotiation that was supposed to be private. It was an uncomfortable position I felt I was in. It was not an enjoyable experience because throughout the years I've prided myself on keeping things out of the papers and out of the media. This turned into a big public thing. That is something I was not happy about. I let my feelings be known."

The Yankee brass and Jeter’s agent Casey Close engaged in a heated back and forth over the last month. While Close was reportedly asking for a four to five year contract in the range of $20 million per year for Jeter, the Yankees made an initial offer of 3 years $45 million.

Close accused the Yankees of handling the contract talks in a “baffling” manner. He warned the team not to underestimate his client’s value. In return, Yankees general manager Brian Cashman suggested that Jeter go shop elsewhere for a deal better than the Yanks offer.

"I was angry I was put in the position to have to respond," said Cashman, referring to Close's comments. "Anger met anger. You get past it and you move forward."

Eventually Jeter and the Bronx Bombers met half way on a new deal over the weekend. The three-year contract should guarantee that the beloved team captain will retire in pinstripes. Going forward, all is forgiven when it comes to Jeter and the organization.

"We are a big happy family," Jeter said. "We had everybody up there. You play somewhere long enough, you are in an organization, you want to call it a relationship, I'm sure there are probably ups and downs."

KOBE BRYANT WANTS TO GO FOR GOLD IN LONDON 2012!

 

Mike Krzyzewski has a commitment from another top recruit: Kobe Bryant.

Bryant told the U.S. basketball coach he will play in the London Olympics in 2012 if the Americans want him there.

The 32-year-old Lakers guard was a guest on Krzyzewski's SIRIUS XM radio show Tuesday when the Duke coach asked Bryant about London.

"You guys want me there, I am there and I'm ready to defend," Bryant said. "And then when you guys need me to put some points on the board, I'll do that, too."

Bryant confirmed his interest in wearing the red-white-and-blue again Tuesday night after scoring 23 points in Los Angeles' 124-105 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies.

Bryant said it's a huge honor to be part of the Olympics.

"You get a chance to see and meet the greatest athletes in the world," he said. "Aside from just the basketball part of it and being with a great group of guys, it's an opportunity to meet some of the best at what they do. It's great for me, I get a chance to talk to them and meet them and go to their events and watch new sports. It's just a blast."

Bryant was a starter on the U.S. squad that won gold medals in 2008 in Beijing but hasn't played for the American team since then. He sat out the world championships this summer, recovering from right knee surgery following the Lakers' taxing championship run to Game 7 of the NBA Finals.

Bryant will turn 34 in August 2012, and his two-time defending champion Lakers appear to be loaded for two more long playoff runs after making the past three NBA Finals. Yet Bryant scoffs at worries about the wear and tear on his body in the early weeks of his 15th season with the Lakers.

"If anything, I'll just be Mariano Rivera -- come in in the last two minutes," Bryant said, referring to the New York Yankees closer.

Beijing stalwarts LeBron JamesDwyane WadeCarmelo AnthonyDwight Howard and Chris Paul also skipped the Istanbul tournament, while Kevin Durant led the remainder of the U.S. team to its first world championship in 16 years.

Anthony and Paul already have said they would love to return for another Olympic run. The Americans will have next summer off, having already qualified for the Olympics with the world title won by Durant and a supporting cast including Lamar Odom, who's off to an outstanding start with the Lakers despite his extra summer work.
