It’s not secret that we love posting videos of people getting dunked on. For instance, LeBron James, Jerry Stackhouse, Paul Millsap. Well, now we have another video to entertain you guys. Terrell Owens was playing in a basketball game at Rucker Park in New York, and, well, this was the result.
The man responsible for the throw down was Antoine Millien, a former Idaho State player.

Okay, so I will be the first to admit that when I heard Donovan McNabb beg the Washington Redskins’ organization to go after free agent Wide Receiver Terrell Owens I was devastated. I winced at the thought of those two “rekindling” their relationship in D.C. that had broken in the city of not-so-brotherly love. I grimaced at all the off-field distractions, baggage, emotional press conferences, and drama that T.O. would bring to the Redskins. This seemed like a terrible idea.
My opinion remained constant until just recently, when I heard that the Redskins signed free agents Joey Galloway (38) and Bobby Wade (29). By no means to these players stack up to someone who has had as much success as Owens, and Galloway is even older than T.O. who is 36, meaning that age must not have been a factor. I say if you are to make a free agent signing, you might as well get the best player that could help your team win, and Owens would bring a lot more than Galloway or Wade.
Lets mainly focus on the comparison of Galloway versus Owens. In his 15-year career, Galloway has grabbed 689 balls for 10,777 yards with 77 touchdowns. Compared to Owens, who has caught 10,006 passes for 12,951 yards with 144 touchdowns in a 14-year career. I’ll admit last year Owens was only an average receiver with Buffalo, where he caught 55 passes for 829 yards with only 5 touchdowns. But Galloway was nonexistent, only managing 67 yards on a measly seven catches. In his last season with Tamps in 2008, Galloway caught 13 passes for 138 yards, no touchdowns.
I can understand if the Redskins are planning on bringing in Galloway as a veteran to mentor the younger wide receivers in Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly, but if they are expecting actual production from him they are mistaken. I know T.O. would not be interested in the whole “mentoring” thing and expect to see a few balls here and there, but Washington is more likely to see results on the field if they went with Owens.
This was a real head-scratcher to be quite honest. This new regime surely has a knack for picking up players who seem to be past their prime. But I won’t complain if success on the field is achieved, I may even applaud them for going out on a limb to make things happen. I just figured that since the Redskins are one of the most hated teams in the NFL for some reason, they might as well go out and get the most hated player. Seems like a good fit to me. Let me know what you guys think about this move.

Okay first, somebody please tell me what is this:
Hands down this has got to be one of the worst football jerseys of all time. I mean the Seahawks already had an awful color scheme of navy blue, gray, and turqouise. But lime green? Absolutely disgusting! No wonder they lost to the Bears, these jerseys look like vomit!
Also I gotta say something about this press conference with Terrell Owens:
For once in maybe his life, TO may have taken the high road in a tricky situation. After not catching a pass in Sunday’s loss to the Saints, the media antagonized him and tried to get him to say something bad about the coach, the play calling, or his quarterback. It was unlike Owens to respond with “I’m just going with the plays that are called,” and “I’m not trying to throw anyone under the bus.” I doubt that TO has changed, but it shows that he has matured (somewhat). But for the Bills to be successful this year, they need to get the ball in number 81′s hands, because he is still one of the best recievers in the NFL.

Some of you may know already the troubles associated with Ben Roethlisberger, but for those who do not, let me fill you in. Andrea McNulty, a 31 year-old woman, has filed a civil lawsuit against him for rape last summer in a hotel penthouse. To no surprise, Roethlisberger has denied the charge.
But I’m not here to talk about all the details. I could make this into a video of What Grinds My Gears, but I felt that it would be more appropriate to blog about instead of vlog, because of the seriousness of the case. These charges were made last weekend, but ESPN has not made any news of it until late. Why is that? I could guarantee that if this story was with Kobe, which we already know all the publicity that occurred when he had his trials, or with Terrell Owens, ESPN would talk about it nonstop.
So why not Ben Roethlisberger?? I do not really know the answer. That’s just something I wanted you, the viewers/readers, to think about. I’m not saying that ESPN is racist or favors some athletes over others, I just have no idea why ESPN is keeping this story on the down low for so long. Let me know what you think.
Why?
By Jesse Jones
As most people know, Terrell Owens is going to air his own reality TV show on VH1 called ‘The T.O. Show”. This picture is the cover for the show… Now why does a man, who has already shown off his body to the world, want to post nude for the whole world to advertise his reality TV show? Thousands, if not millions of people already do not like this man, and these people might become even more annoyed with him for this. This picture might put some on the other side of the line than they originally were, and it might have no effect.
I’m sure the show will have people see a different side of him, and he may gain more fans from it, I just do not see where this picture fits in at all. But I know one thing is certain, the ladies love this!
