Manny Ramirez Wants An Offer
by: Staff
With money flying out the doors of some Major League Baseball teams why is it that Manny Ramirez is feeling ignored? The lack of offers coming into Ramirez seems to have him contemplating retirement. He created quite the buzz over his split with Boston and then his resurgence with the Dodgers but it must not have been enough for teams. Unlike the NFL who seem to praise players for drawing publicity Manny may have hurt himself with his reputation. (Newsday)
Rudolph the Red Nosed T.O.
by: Staff
This is one of those interviews with T.O. where you simply aren’t listening to what he is saying. In yesterday’s post practice media interviews Owens was getting in the holiday spirit. Some of his fashion choices have been bold and distracting but this has to be the best of all. Props to the guy for not taking himself to seriously though.
Shaun Alexander Is Unemployed…Again
by: Staff
It’s amazing how fast a star can fall…and Shaun Alexander’s surely has fallen. Going from league MVP in 2005 and signing an 8 year $63 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks in ‘06 to being released just 2 years later in April 2008. Then getting signed by the Washington Redskins in October and released in November.
During his 5 game tenure with the Redskins, Alexander got just 11 carries for 24 yards. Ouch, that is nowhere near the yardage that a former MVP should be racking up. At the age of 31 it appears that Alexander is done in the NFL. He says that he’s healthy and ready to play but clearly his production has gone down and there is no demand for an aging, injury plagued running back.
Well, I hope they didn’t sell the house in Seattle because it looks like Shaun is going back to working out with the boys at UW.
Tony Romo Is A Boy Scout
by: Milk Money
On a day when the Dallas Cowboys are making news because of a hopefully reformed troublemaker, quarterback Tony Romo is making news for the right reasons..he treated a homeless man to a movie. According to the Dallas Morning News:
A homeless man who goes by Doc was cashing in change at a Cinemark Theatre in Dallas when a guy walked up and offered to pay his way into the movie. He planned to spend his day passing out fliers and accepted a rain check before realizing that he recognized the generous gentleman.
“Was that Tony Romo?” Doc asked the worker behind the counter.
It sure was.
Ocho Cinco Calls out Brett Favre
by: Milk Money
Did anyone else hear Chad Johnson’s remarks during half time of last night’s football game? I heard it loud and clear. When asked about what he learned during the off season he said “For everybody starting out in the league or playing on the other 31 teams if you’re not a qb in this league you’re never going to run the show, you’re never going to lead the team so don’t do what I did in the off season.”
It didn’t really hit me until I thought about it further how big those words were and by then I couldn’t rewind to catch the exact quote so the above is close to exact but you get the drift.
That was a direct hit on Favre. #85 was clearing saying (without words) that Favre got away with the off season drama because he can throw the ball, but a receiver like himself or Terrell Owens will be called troublemakers.
This isn’t the first athlete this week to make a statement about QB’s being the chosen ones. Is there a problem brewing in the NFL? All the rules and regulations to “protect” a quarterback could be creating animosity between players. Let’s hope that doesn’t happen because football is a game of chemistry and if it’s not there the results could be disasterous.
Terrell Owens Offers Advice To Kids
by: Staff
I was obviously too busy last night watching one of the final episodes of The Shield to realize that T.O. was on The Late Show with Letterman. So for all of us who missed it here is Terrell Owens advice for kids and I’ve got to say that I’m surprised his cheerleader advice wasn’t higher on the list.
