Terrell Owens needs a hug, folks.
It’s unfair to criticize Tony Romo? That’s my quarterback? We lost as a team?! Who the hell is this guy? Terrell freaking Owens, the guy who has publicly ridiculed and embarrassed Jeff Garcia, Donovan McNabb and Drew Bledsoe, is crying because the media criticized Romo for his vacation plans? He might be right saying that it’s unfair, but considering it’s coming from Owens, the sentiment means next to nothing.
Baseball fan Matthew Mitchell is suing the New York Yankees over some players’ reported use of performance-enhancing drugs, seeking repayment of $221 he bought in tickets for five games.
“I’ve been a fan forever, and now, there’s evidence — based on the Mitchell Report and common sense — it’s clear to me that what I was seeing was not a baseball game,” said Mitchell.
Mitchell attended his first game in 1984, and estimates he has been to 50 or 60 Yankees games since. He chose to sue over tickets purchased only in the time frame noted in the Mitchell Report — 2002 to 2007.

While Mitchell attended many more games during that period, he only retained five stubs. He will use these as evidence in court.
Mitchell has pledged not to attend any Yankees games this year.
In June of 1989, there was Tank Man. In January of 2008, there was Matthew Mitchell. Good for you Matthew Mitchell, good for you.
The NCAA rejected an appeal for an override of the text messaging ban they put into place last year. My first question is how many of the people on the committee even use text messaging. You are looking at a committee of people consisting of folks who just realized that vinyl records are no longer sold in stores. Let’s get into the 21st century guys….
Once again the NCAA has made it more difficult for coaches to get to know recruits and their parents. The NCAA wants to cut down on transfers, but at the same time take away another avenue to allow coaches to make a more informed decision during the recruiting process. That’s the catch-22.
Also, it takes the power out of a recruits hands. If a recruit doesn’t want to talk to a coach they won’t text them back. Texting also eliminated needless phone calls that can take up too many hours of a recruit’s time.
Way to go NCAA.
Dayton won a hard fought game in overtime against St. Louis on the road and Rhode Island used the clutch shooting of Head Coach Jim Baron’s son to nip Duquesne on Saturday….
I had an opportunity to watch St. Louis (coming off a record setting perfomrance for offensive futility vs. George Washington) almost pull off one of the biggest upsets of the season. They led 20th ranked Dayton for most of the game and had a wide open three point shot by their best shooter, Kevin Lisch, rimmed out in the last 30 seconds. A shot that would have given them the lead and the win. Instead they succumbed to Dayton in overtime.
It was two remarkable performances. One by Coach Rick Majerus who rallied his Billikens to within a jump shot of the the win. The other by Dayton guard Brian Roberts.
St. Louis is a team devoid of talent. They have no inside presence to go to which makes them work extrememly hard on every possession. However, they might be one of the best defensive teams in the country. All night long they made Dayton work for every shot. They allowed only a couple of baskets in transition the entire game. Also, they made Brian Roberts work for everything he got.
That is what is so amazing about Brian Roberts. He scored 30 points and hit every big shot the Flyers needed. He has a great presence on the court and a tremendous basketball IQ. It is easy to see why Dayton is off to such a great start. He is the brains and the catalyst. Remember his name because yo will see him in the NBA!!
Meanwhile Rhode Island battled tooth and nail against a rejuvenated Duqeusne squad. Ron Everhart has done a remendous job of elminating the losing attitude that has pervaded the Dukes for so many years. With the addition of two transfers and a former Marquette signee, he has his team in position for an at large bid.
Rhode Island on the other hand has a myriad of weapons. Led by the sharp shooting of Jim Baron, jr. Rhode Island came from behind to beat the Dukes. Will Daniels provided the inside scoring with 28. Look for the Rams to be NCAA bound as they improved to 15-2.
Packers 42, Seahawks 20
I don’t care whether you like the Packers or not – Brett Favre (how sweet was that underhanded toss to Donald Lee?) in the snow at Lambeau Field is what the playoffs are all about. Anyone else find it ironic that the Packers mounted their comeback right as the snow began to fall? Call me crazy, but with how young the Packers are, they needed a win like this. They needed their character tested after falling behind, because in most of their regular season wins, they cruised after taking early leads. Now this team knows that if they get down early after making mistakes, they can still come back. Ryan Grant was amazing and rushing for over 200 yards and three touchdowns after fumbling early on was remarkable…I don’t want to take away anything from Green Bay, but the weather really affected the Seahawks. It seemed to neutralize Seattle’s aggressive defense, their receivers couldn’t hang onto the ball and they had zero running game. Although, the weather had nothing to do with the Seahawks getting completely gashed by Grant.
Patriots 31, Jaguars 20
This game unfolded how many thought it would. Jacksonville was good enough to give New England a game, but if they fell behind by multiple scores in the second half, they were going to have trouble mounting a comeback. Phil Simms hit the nail on the head when he talked about the Jagaurs’ receivers not being able to create separation because of lack of speed. David Garrard had enough time to throw – he just didn’t have anyone open and started forcing passes into coverage late in the fourth…It never ceases to amaze me how calm and collected the Patriots are when trailing. They just never get rattled and despite Jacksonville’s best efforts, New England was in complete control after tying the game 7-7. Tom Brady was a bit of a crybaby throughout the game, but man, was he good or what? Twenty-six of 28 for 262 yards and three touchdowns? Twenty-six of 28 and Randy Moss only caught one pass for 14 yards?! That’s unbelievable. Amazing how efficient the Patriots offense is with Laurence Maroney (122 yards, 1 TD) gaining 5.6 yards a carry, too.
Chargers 28, Colts 24
What an incredible upset. The Chargers had a hobbled Antonio Gates, lost LaDainian Tomlinson in the first half, lost Philip Rivers early in the second half, and were on the road in a hostile environment. The Colts were finally healthy and were flying under the radar; how did they blow this? What a sloppy, error-filled game for the usually disciplined Colts. It’s almost inexcusable for Indy to lose this game and it’s a bit of a disappointment for football fans that we won’t see a Colts-Patriots rematch. Oh well, San Diego played one hell of a game and lets pray that LT, Gates and Rivers get healthy throughout the week, because they’ll need to be against the New England Juggernauts.
Giants 24, Cowboys 17
Who would have thought that at the end of this day, one Manning will play for a championship next week and his name isn’t Peyton. Things are starting to click (I mean, really click) for Eli and after taking a beating for the past few years he deserves this moment. He played a sound game, didn’t make any mistakes and took what the Cowboys’ defense gave him. Michael Strahan was also an absolute beast Sunday…Obviously this is a massive disappointment for the Cowboys, but this game reaffirms how hard it is for one team to beat another three times in one season. When a team wins, there are fewer corrections to be made. When a team loses, it can make adjustments and learn from mistakes. This loss was less about what Tony Romo and Wade Phillips didn’t do, and more about one team making adjustments and executing a solid game plan.
