Who Knew There Was A Worse Sport Out There, Than T.O.?

Tuesday, June 23, 2009


There were clips floating around the Internet last week, of Terrell Owens' teammate flipping out on him during the debut of "The Superstars" on ABC. Well the show debuted tonight, and not only is the extended version of Joanna Krupa giving it T.O. hilarious, it also proves that karma is a bitch....



It's not like Terrell wasn't trying, his big feet just got caught up in the ropes. In an earlier challenge, Owens carried Krupp in a race that only one teammate could ride a bike. T.O. ran just about the entire way. Oh well, I guess it's good for the Bills that he was the first athlete to be eliminated.

As far as the show itself, it's actually pretty entertaining. John Saunders is the host, with Warren Sapp and Jenn Brown your reporters. It's definitely worth a watch. What else are you going to check out? "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here"???

Update: Thanks to Warren Sapp's Twitter Feed, we now have the unedited version! Careful though....very NSFW....

Fran Tarkenton Is A National Hero

Thursday, May 28, 2009

Not only has Fran Tarkenton taken on the great Brett Favre, by calling the Vikings interest in him "despicable", but he's now moved onto ESPN analysts. After his comments on Tuesday, Marcellus Wiley called Tarkenton a "grumpy old man", and the former QB decided to lay into the analyst. Via Sports Radio Interviews....

“Marcellus Wiley, who is trying to parlay a minimal football career into still making more money. This grumpy old man is 69 years old, I own six businesses, I’ve built 16 over the years, I’m paying my taxes, I’ve started two new businesses, we’re hiring more people, we’re not laying them off, we’re not cutting their salaries — we’re increasing their salaries, and in this society we are productive when so many people are not productive. I’m not playing croquette down at Orlando at the Villages, I’m not playing golf every day, I’m out there as a 69 year old … making money out of sports or with sports — I’m creating and building businesses from the ground up: that’s this grumpy old man.”
Now that's a comeback, and definitely hilarious. It's rare that people get to respond to comments made about them on ESPN, so good for Tark to say something. Especially when he's speaking in the best interests of the Vikings.

Rampage Jackson Would Like His Belt Back

Sunday, March 08, 2009

I took in most of the UFC card last night, and while I won't pretend to know much about the sport, I can say that I'm definitely going to watch Jackson-Evans. And why is that? Because of this bit of trash talking following UFC 96 last night (NSFW language)....



I think Dana White officially has his tagline for the fight. Too funny.

Reggie Miller Thinks Knicks Fans Have Jumped The Shark

Wednesday, February 04, 2009


Reggie Miller talked with CBS Sports recently, about Kobe Bryant being cheered in Madison Square Garden during his 61 point performance, and the former "Knick Killer" was less than impressed with Knick fans.

So, yes, Miller was watching Kobe Bryant's 61-point game against the Knicks Monday night. And yes, he was impressed. But he was also appalled that Knicks fans who used to torment him were chanting "MVP!" for Kobe. So appalled that he was texting his old nemesis throughout the game.

"I was texting Spike as the game was going on, saying how disappointed I was in the fans chanting "MVP!" for Kobe," Miller said Tuesday, speaking on a TNT pre-All-Star conference call. "I was like, 'How the mighty have fallen.'" Because I remember in times past, I never got cheered. I'm sure Jordan never got cheered. And now they are chanting "MVP!" for Kobe? And all (Lee) kept doing was texting back and going, 'Look, times have changed. The climate has changed.'

"I wish I would've gotten the red carpet treatment when I went to the Garden," Miller said. "That would've been nice."
There is no doubt that I feel bad for Knicks fans, but cheering for the enemy like that at home, is something that has always bothered me. Given that I'm a fan of all things DC Sports, I know this problem well. The only problem is that the cure for said problem is winning and just like most DC Sports teams not named the Capitals, that's not going to change any time soon. Unfortunately the same is true for one of the NBA's most storied franchises in the Knicks.

(P.S.- Yes, I know the phrase "jump the shark" has "jumped the shark". You will not be the first clever commenter to ever leave that on the site, so please give it a rest.)

Here Comes The Super Bowl Billboard Material

Thursday, January 29, 2009


It happens every year without fail. One team will plan their parade early, or call out a certain player, and you know who's winning the game. While Pittsburgh has been relatively quiet over the course of the week, the Cardinals decided to hold a rally and desecrate the "Terrible Towel". Not only did "Big Red" use the towel to wipe his underarms, but the Mayor of Phoenix blew his nose with the thing....

The mayor of Phoenix blew his nose into a Terrible Towel and then threw it to the ground at a send-off rally for the Cardinals in Phoenix on Monday.

On Tuesday night, he apologized for his actions.

Mayor Phil Gordon said, "At no time did anyone intend, in any way, to offend the Steelers organization and their many fans, supporters and traditions."

At the same send-off rally on Monday, the Cardinals' mascot used the Terrible Towel to wipe his furry armpits before the mayor sneezed and stomped on it.
Oh no, how dare he!!! Seriously though, why is it that every year you can tell the exact moment when a city causes their team a loss of Karma? Just calm down and try to enjoy the game, Arizona. It will all be over soon enough.

Tim Brando Will Not Take Your Insolence, Auburn Fan!

Thursday, January 08, 2009

Great find by reader JF this afternoon. Tim Brando was on the "Paul Finebaum Show" this past Tuesday, and after an Auburn fan questioned his credentials, he want on a pretty intense tirade directed against the caller. Here is the audio....



Hilarious. It's rare that a broadcaster completely loses their cool like that, but always funny to hear. Good times down there at Auburn....Goooood Times.

T.O. Is Seemingly Much Smarter Than Michael Irvin

Thursday, October 30, 2008

Say what you want about Michael Irvin, but just like Sean Salisbury, he seems much happier since he left ESPN. Not only is he in a better mood, but his show in Dallas actually pulls some pretty big guests, and is actually interesting from time to time. On Tuesday nights Irvin also has a show called Inside The Huddle which airs on Tuesday night, and this past Tuesday's guest was Terrell Owens. DC Fanatic just happened to catch an interesting exchange between Irvin and T.O. during a commercial break, one where Irvin didn't realize his mic was still live....



If you couldn't tell what all that whispering was, Irvin was getting ready to pass along the intel that Jerry Jones is unhappy with Brad Johnson at QB, before T.O. stops him. The best part about the whole thing is that Owens is barely even paying attention while texting away on his phone and still has the sense to stop the Playmaker. No one ever said he wasn't smart!

T.O. and Irvin were awesome on Inside The Huddle tonight (DC Fanatic)

Dr. Lou Hints At A Return Of The "Pep Talks"

Friday, October 10, 2008

I cannot emphasize how funny this clip is. The big news is obviously that Holtz says he'll be doing a pep talk next week, hence the title above, but he also takes the time to send some trash talk in the direction of Longhorn Fans. Pay attention around the :55 mark....



"All of those orange fans up there. I would say to our players, they wear orange so they can cheer for their team. They'll wear the same orange outfit tomorrow to go hunting. And they'll wear the same orange outfit the last five days of the week in order to pick up trash."- Lou Holtz

I don't know if he came up with that on his own, but that's just about the funniest thing I've heard. Can't wait for the pep talk, and remember people you have the power to choose. The power....IS YOURS!
