It definitely smells like money around 50 Cent's mansion today. The rapper/business mogul won a big bet as his hometown football team, the New York Giants beat the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship game on Sunday to advance to the Super Bowl.

50 watched the game while at the same time going in on 49ers fans.

Check out some of the hilarious tweets from 50's Twitter timeline yesterday.

"Look I understand how U 49ers fans feel. Get up get a drink do what ever U have to do to feel better for the moment. Its half time relax lol," 50 wrote. "I told you NEW YORK BABY game over hahahahaha. Damn I would not want to be the boy who fumbled that ball hahahahahahahahahahhahahahah. Ok now what U 49ers fans was saying? look at the bright side U can try again next year. I mean U can still come to the super bowl its cool. And help sell hot dogs lol. GET THE F*CK OUT OF HERE oh I'm not gonna tell you how much I just won. LORD I'm GOD'S favorite."

One ignorant 49er's fan got so mad he told 50 he wished he would get injured again.

"Damn U that mad hahahahaha," 50 replied. "Yo don't give that punk no attention. if I get shot ill only get up again. just watched a 500,000 dollar foot ball game get on my level.Chump."

50 is going to put the money he made to good use. He said he would give it to his grandmother.

The Giants (12-7) will play the New England Patriots (15-3) in Super Bowl XLVI on February 5, 2012 at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, Indiana at 6:30PM ET.

The Patriots are 3 point favorites heading into the game. Make sure you keep an eye on 50's Twitter on game day. I'm sure he'll have plenty to say.

Tracy Morgan was rushed to a hospital yesterday in Park City, Utah after collapsing following an awards ceremony at the Sundance Film Festival Sunday (January 22).

The "30 Rock" star was being honored at the Creative Coalition Spotlight Awards with the Spotlight Initiative Award when he fell ill according to ABC News. Tracy reportedly “was acting extremely inebriated, yelling and falling onto the ground.”

Morgan's reps released a statement earlier today regarding his condition, denying he was intoxicated.

“From a combination of exhaustion and altitude, Tracy is seeking medical attention … He is with his fiance and grateful to the Park City Medical Center for their care. Any reports of Tracy consuming alcohol are 100 percent false," read the statement.

Amy Roberts, a spokeswoman for Park City Medical Center, where Morgan was treated also confirmed that no drugs or alcohol were found in Tracy’s system when he was evaluated.

Actor Cuba Gooding Jr. told ABC News that Morgan was "doing fine."

50 Cent and ESPN's Skip Bayless have been engaging in a friendly war of words regarding a potential Floyd Mayweather Jr. vs Manny Pacquiao mega-fight.

Skip has gone on record as saying Pacquiao gave "less than his best" in his 3rd fight against Juan Manuel Marquez in an attempt to get Mayweather in the ring. He thinks Pac Man can defeat Floyd.

"He's saying, 'go ahead hit me in the chin because I'm going to lure Floyd into thinking that I'm actually vulnerable now,'" Skip said on air after Pacquiao/Marquez III.

50 Cent has heard enough of of Skip's anti-Mayweather rants and shot back.

"Floyd is 42-0, there's absolutely no way that you can actually make a logical discussion on how you can beat him. Because he hasn't been beaten" 50 said recently. "Pacquiao has several losses. And he didn't look good in his last fight [against Marquez]. And the chump is getting ready to get on his bicycle and run. I love people who commentate on fighting who don't fight. Skip you wanna fight?"

Skip jokingly replied via ESPN's 1st Take that he's ready to lace the gloves up against 50.

"Yeah I do Mr. Cent. What do you weigh like 135? Let's do it right here," Skip said tapping on the 1st Take table. "I've invited you to sit across from me and you run from me."

It would be hilarious if 50 took Skip up on his offer and appeared on the show. Let's hope that happens.

Shouts to @PowTV.

Skip Bayless says Pacquiao gave less than 100% against Marquez in order to lure Mayweather into a fight.

State College, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Joe Paterno, whose tenure as the most successful coach in major college football history ended abruptly in November amid allegations that he failed to respond forcefully enough to a sex abuse scandal involving a former assistant, died Sunday, a family spokesman said. He was 85.

The longtime Penn State head coach was diagnosed with what his family had called a treatable form of lung cancer shortly after the university's Board of Trustees voted to fire him.

He had been hospitalized in December after breaking his pelvis in a fall at his home and again in January for what his son called minor complications from his cancer treatments.

"It is with great sadness that we announce that Joe Paterno passed away earlier today," the family statement said. "His loss leaves a void in our lives that will never be filled."

Paterno, who was affectionately known as "JoePa" by generations of his players and football fans alike, was widely admired in football circles for what he called his "Grand Experiment" -- his expectation that big-time college football players could succeed on the field while upholding high academic and moral standards away from the gridiron.

Under his leadership, the Nittany Lions won two national championships, went undefeated five times and finished in the top 25 national rankings 35 times, according to his official Penn State biography.

At the same time, the program never fell under NCAA sanctions for major infractions while producing 13 Academic All-Americans since 2006. In 2009, according to the university, the Nittany Lions posted an 85% graduation rate.

"The acclaim for Joe Paterno has stemmed largely from the contrast between the high academic and moral standards he has tried to exemplify and the shameless conduct that often embarrasses and dishonors the college sport he cherishes," author Michael O'Brien wrote in a 1999 biography of Paterno, "No Ordinary Joe."

Paterno was born in 1926 in Brooklyn to second-generation Italian immigrants, according to O'Brien's book.

He attended Brown University, where he played quarterback and cornerback, according to another Penn State biography.

He coached at Penn State as an assistant from 1950 to 1965 and became head coach in 1966.

Decked out in his soon-to-become trademark thick glasses, white socks and sneakers, Paterno quickly became a memorable fixture on the football field, leading the Nittany Lions to undefeated seasons in 1968, 1969 and again in 1973 and the first national championship of his tenure in 1982.

Named National Coach of the Year five times, Paterno was added to the College Football Hall of Fame in 2006, but his induction was delayed until 2007 because of injuries he suffered in a sideline collision.

He became the winningest coach in major college football history in 2011 with 409 victories.

In addition to his exploits on the sidelines, Paterno had a significant impact on the university's academic programs.

Paterno and his wife, Suzanne, donated more than $4 million to the university over the years for faculty endowments, scholarships and building projects, according to the university.

"Penn State has been very good to both Sue and me," he said in 1998, according to his university biography.

Honored with glowing words of praise from players and presidents alike -- President Ronald Reagan said Paterno never forgot that "he is a teacher who's preparing his students not just for the season, but for life," according to a university biography -- he received the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame Distinguished American Award in 1991.

In doing so, he became the first active coach to do so, according to the biography.

"What are coaches?" he said at the dinner celebrating his award, according to his university biography. "Number one, we're teachers and we're educators. We have the same obligation as all teachers at our institutions, expect we probably have more influence over our young people than anyone other than their families," he said.

It was his perceived failure to meet those obligations that led to his downfall as the only coach many Penn State football fans had ever known.

In October, state authorities charged two university officials with misleading investigators and failing to report alleged sexual abuse in 2002, after a Penn State assistant told a grand jury he saw former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky performing what appeared to be anal sex on a boy in a shower at the football complex.

Jerry Sandusky

The assistant reported it to Paterno the next day, who said he passed the report along to then-Athletic Director Tim Curley and another university executive, Gary Schultz.

Curley and Schultz left their positions shortly after the grand jury report was revealed. The next month, the university fired Paterno and Penn State President Graham Spanier.

At the time, he said in a statement released by his son, Scott Paterno, that he was "distraught" over the sex abuse scandal.

In an interview with the Washington Post published January 14, Paterno said that he felt inadequate to deal with the allegations.

"I didn't know exactly how to handle it and I was afraid to do something that might jeopardize what the university procedure was," the Post quoted him as saying. "So I backed away and turned it over to some other people, people I thought would have a little more expertise than I did. It didn't work out that way."

One day after a grand re-opening that featured A-list guests like Warren Buffet, Spike Lee, Lance Bass and Russell Simmons, Jay-Z's 40/40 Club was shut down by New York's Health Department Thursday (January 19).

Among the violations seen by health inspectors according to the New York Post, included a worker mixing salsa with his bare hands. Five pounds of cooked mashed potatoes left out at a temperature of 89F, while 10 pounds of cooked rice and 50 turkey burgers were kept at 67F. All the hot foods should be at least 140F.

In addition to those violations, the refrigerator was at a rancid 60F instead of 41F, putting at jeopardy the safety of 50 pounds of raw chicken wings, five pounds of raw shrimp and 100 turkey burgers.

“If you have a walk-in place with food like this, you put a hell of a lot of people at risk,” said a source. “A night of dinner and dancing should not include the risk of contracting food-borne illness.”

Club patrons already inside the establishment were allowed to stay, but new customers were turned away.

Although the problems were corrected and the club was allowed to open again for business on Friday, there could be big trouble looming for the establishment.

The club was given 69 violation points. Only 28 violations points are needed for a restaurant to be given the worst possible "C" grade. Restaurants with a "C" grade are forced to post a "C" in their storefront windows which is horrible for business.

"It's killing us," a host at Reme Restaurant told the New York Daily News of the dreaded "C" grade. "People see the C and they walk away."

During an inspection of Hov's 40/40 club in February 2011, it "racked up 39 violation points for problems including improperly handled food and unsanitary conditions."

It's not a good sign for a club that just underwent $10 million dollars in renovations. It will be adjudicated at a hearing next month.
