Is nothing sacred?

I am perplexed by the fact that advertising has found its way into the classic Monday Night Football opening, that now has Hank Williams Jr. singing about an automotive assembly line.

Anyone else troubled by this?

It’s official: Eagles have had enough

Andy Reid released the following statement when updating the media on the status of WR Terrell Owens:

Terrell Owens has been suspended by the team for four games for conduct detrimental to the team. He will not return to play for the team even after the conclusion of that suspension. The league has been notified by the player’s union that they will be grieving a right to take that action. Therefore, there is nothing more I can say at this point.

This situation is similar to Keyshawn Johnson’s suspension with Tampa Bay two seasons ago. That ultimately resulted in a trade for KJ to Dallas, where he was reunited HC Bill Parcells. Something similar will probably happen here during the offseason. I would love to be a fly on the wall in war rooms across the league as personnel executives discuss the possibility of trading for Owens. He’s a phenomenal talent, but seems to wear out his welcome wherever he goes.

Sex in the bathroom, punch in the face

Two Carolina Panther cheerleaders spent the night in jail after getting into an altercation with another patron of Banana Joe’s nightclub in Tampa, Florida.

Clipped from a more descriptive article without photos:

Club patron Melissa Holden said she and other women became angry while waiting for the restroom. Holden said she could see the two women in the stall and heard moaning. After about 15 minutes, she said, the two women emerged. Another patron complained and then “the blonde hit me in the face,” Holden said. Holden said she grabbed that woman’s arms, held them behind her back and called for security.

“I have a big black eye now and I have to go to work on Tuesday,” said Holden, a nurse.

The moral of the story? If you are on the road and have a hotel, just go there to have lesbian sex with your cheerleader friends. Don’t hog a stall at Banana Joe’s.

Gigi is a Prophet

At the beginning of the NFL season, a group of us at Bullz-Eye decided to pick one overrated team and one underrated team. I picked last, so I wound up picking St. Louis as my underrated team (they need to win out in order to live up to my prediction of 12 wins). Just to be perverse, I chose Philadelphia as my overrated team, claiming:

“…the entire organization has made the fatal mistake of relying on enfant terrible Terrell Owens, the most self-centered player in football, to save them. Which means the team is one (inevitable) temper tantrum away from complete and utter chaos.”

Complete and utter chaos happened this week in an interview with ESPN.com’s Graham Bensinger. T.O. pointed fingers far and wide (though never at himself, of course), and burned every single bridge that ever existed between him and Eagles management and teammates. His apology was hilarious in its cluelessness, saying, “It has been brought to my attention that I have offended the organization and my teammates. Therefore, I would like to apologize for any derogatory comments toward them.” Someone had to bring it to your attention, T.O.? Wow, dude, you’re even dumber than I thought, and I already thought you were pretty dumb.

I never thought I’d say these words, but the battery-throwing Philadelphia fans deserve better than this.

Shaq out 2-4 weeks

Shaquille O’Neal is going to miss 2-4 weeks with a sprained ankle. This isn’t good for the Heat, who need every opportunity to play as a unit before the playoffs. With newcomers Antoine Walker, Jason Williams, James Posey and Gary Payton, it’s going to take a while for the team to gel.

O’Neal’s injury gives fantasy owners an opportunity – Alonzo Mourning. He’s in good shape and is playing with good energy. Projecting his stats from his stint with Miami last season to 30 minutes a game, he should average around 11 points, 9 boards and 3-4 blocks.

Go get him.
