How else do you explain Evander Holyfield building a [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/06/07/evander-holyfield-creflo-dollar-and-prosperity-theology/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/06/07/evander-holyfield-creflo-dollar-and-prosperity-theology/#comments Sat, 07 Jun 2008 18:26:21 +0000 Ken Edelstein http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/06/07/evander-holyfield-creflo-dollar-and-prosperity-theology/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/06/07/evander-holyfield-creflo-dollar-and-prosperity-theology/feed/ 1 It seems the “prosperity gospel” didn’t perform as advertised for former heavyweight champ Evander Holyfield. The Associated Press reported Thursday that the Fairburn resident faces foreclosure on his 109-room mansion. Also: “the mother of one of his children is suing for unpaid child support, and a Utah consulting company has gone to court claiming the boxer [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/06/05/morning-headlines-66/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/06/05/morning-headlines-66/#comments Thu, 05 Jun 2008 15:31:57 +0000 Russell McLendon http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/06/05/morning-headlines-66/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2008/06/05/morning-headlines-66/feed/ 0 CLINTON: To suspend campaign for the presidential nomination Saturday; begins campaign for the vice-presidential nomination.

Holyfield told the AJC’s Jeff Schultz that he thinks he contracted hepatitis A by eating bad shrimp in 1995. He says he took the hormone medication briefly in [...] http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2007/03/12/evander-holyfield-john-rocker-pulled-into-steroid-scandal/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2007/03/12/evander-holyfield-john-rocker-pulled-into-steroid-scandal/#comments Mon, 12 Mar 2007 22:21:48 +0000 Scott Freeman http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2007/03/12/evander-holyfield-john-rocker-pulled-into-steroid-scandal/ http://blogs.creativeloafing.com/freshloaf/2007/03/12/evander-holyfield-john-rocker-pulled-into-steroid-scandal/feed/ 2 In the current issue of Sports Illustrated, there’s a very unsettling look into the investigation of an online steroid-distribution network that has implicated several pro athletes, including Evander Holyfield and John Rocker.
