The perfect 2010 NFL fantasy football draft
All through July and August, fantasy football players struggle with the planning of their NFL fantasy draft. They review the experts’ picks, look at matchups, check the injuries on the offensive line, and at some point in the late summer sit down and spend a couple hours selecting their team. With all of that, most [...]
2010 NFL bold predictions
It’s the opening day of the NFL season, and visions of Brett Favres are dancing in my head. I’ve been called “crackhead” in the past because I tend to make wild, outrageous NFL predictions…that sometimes come true. Some of these may be bolder than others, but I present my 10 “crackhead” bold predictions for the [...]
Saying bye-bye to two Outsports NFL faves
Oh how quickly the stars of two Outsports faves are fading in the NFL. I’ve written before about the demise of Brady Quinn in Cleveland. It seems he’s on the precipice of losing about $11 million this year because he couldn’t hang onto the starting job there. He’s also put his Cleveland-area house up for [...]
Sports Tweet of the Week: T.O. in Miami
I know you’ve all been waiting for a Twitter update from a sports figure. Since I haven’t been doing this on a weekly basis I’m not sure I should keep calling it “Sports Tweet of the Week,” but if anyone wants to send me links to interesting Twitter pages — or if Jim or Cyd [...]
How Terrell Owens builds his abs
Whatever your opinion is of Buffalo Bills receiver Terrell Owens, there is no denying his amazingly sculpted body (he says he has 6% body fat at 220 pounds). A lot of it is great genetics, plus the time as a pro athlete to devote to working out (and the money to hire personal chefs for [...]
NFL preseason kicks off, Vince Young done
The NFL preseason kicked off last night with a Titans victory over the Bills, 21-18. The score was of little interest, as with most preseason games; But some storylines did come from it. First, Vince Young looks done. He was 5-for-10 with a pick and a TD: The TD came when a backup corner bit [...]
The T.O. show: Lots of skin
Mary McNamara of the Los Angeles Times reviews the first two episodes of Terrell Owens’ reality show on VH1 thats airs tonight. It’s a pan, but McNamara did take note of Owens’ best asset — his body. Terrell Owens is one beautiful man and he knows it, oh, Lord, he knows it … Why else [...]
T.O. goes naked for new VH1 show
The T.O. Show is making it’s fourth NFL stop in Buffalo this season, and VH1 is bringing it to your home starting July 20. Until then, they’re unleashing a campaign featuring the well-built wide receiver naked on a football field. It caught my eye as I was driving down La Cienega Blvd. here in L.A. [...]
Sports Tweet of the Week: T.O. blames Romo
With so many athletes and other sports figures jumping onto the Twitter bandwagon (and odd little stories popping up as a result), I think it’s time for a new feature: Sports Tweet of the Week. I hate using the term “tweet” for the maximum-140-character messages, but I guess I’ll have to go with the flow…and [...]
Quick hits: Boston, T.O., Phillies, Chris Benoit
Boston teams win big: Bruins extend series to game 7, Celtics take 3-2 lead. When Terrell Owens shows up for minicamp in Buffalo, VH-1 will be there to chronicle the whole thing. Yeah, he’s definitely leaving all his issues in Dallas. It’s a new T.O. Phillies’ Jayson Werth steals second, third and home against the [...]
T.O. signs with Buffalo Bills
The weirdest sports story this weekend was the news that Terrell Owens has signed a one-year, $6.5 million contract with the Buffalo Bills. Owens, who loves the limelight and attention, would have been the last player one would associate Buffalo, an NFL Siberia when compared to his other teams in San Francisco, Philadelphia and Dallas. [...]
T.O.? More like N-O.
Terrell Owens got his popcorn last night with a little surprise. His release from the Dallas Cowboys. The Cowboys decided a $9 million cap hit was worth getting rid of the future Hall of Famer (for ability in both football & inducing headaches). Sources are reporting that Owens finally just became too much of a [...]
T.O. jumps the shark
A sign of the apocalypse? More proof that “reality” television continues its relentless assault and won’t stop until every single brain in America is completely turned to mush? Or just a sign that his on-field career is fading and that eventually there will be no more quarterbacks to throw under the bus? Those thoughts came [...]
Phillips: T.O. kissed Jason Whitten
Before anyone starts in on the “how sophomoric” comments, I am well aware this isn’t earth-shattering news. But, I do think it’s interesting if only in a “what an odd choice of words” way. After his team’s “resurrection” victory over the Giants Sunday night, Dallas Cowboys coach Wade Phillips was asked a question about all [...]
