Terrell Owens reminded me of Nancy Kerrigan on Sunday. Now, I'm not making light of figure skaters who get clubbed by their rival's boyfriend, or doubting the nefariousness of people named Gillooly. What I am saying though is that in the history of crying and sports I did not think that Kerrigan could be topped until I saw Terrell Owens press conference after his Cowboys' hilarious loss to the New York Giants.Owens, with sunglasses on of course, stated:
"It's really unfair. That's my teammate. That's my quarterback. you guys do that, its not fair. We lost as a team. (voice quivering heavily) We lost as a team, man."
Any time I'm having a bad day, a quick trip to Youtube for this clip will put a smile on my face.
I could go through a whole laundry list of reasons why this statement is hilarious and bursting with hypocrisy. I'll limit myself to pointing out that the statement comes from the same individual who for no reason attacked Jeff Garcia's sexuality, and threw Donovan McNabb, and Drew Bledsoe under the bus. Those events were "unfair." Romo getting some criticism for going to Cabo (I know Jason Witten was there too) with Jessica Simpson during the bye week is worthy of some ink. Though the media went a bit crazy with it, Romo should have expected this, and deserves the media assigning some blame to his antics.
Here are some other tidbits:
1- "I have more respect for him than any other coach," quote Adam Vinatieri, regarding Tony Dungy. What does that say about Vinatieri's feelings toward the almighty Bill Belichick? I'd like to know the inside story about Vinatieri's departure from New England.
2- Russ Brandon, a St. John Fisher graduate, was promoted to Chief Executive Officer of the Buffalo Bills. The general manager duties are spread throughout the organization including Tom Modrak who will continue as the head scout of the team. It's pretty much the status quo for the team. I don't necessarily think that is a bad thing because I think the team had been put on the right track by Marv Levy.
3- Reports indicate that 50 Cent, Timbaland, Wyclef Jean, Mary J. Blige, and Tyler Perry all received steroids from that pesky Albany medical facility. Everyone kind of figured 50 cent, but Timbaland? He's fat. And Mary J. Blige? She's a woman! I hate steroids, and now there should be a huge shadow over some jacked up movie star performances. Brad Pitt in Troy? Will Smith in Ali? Hilary Swank in Million Dollar Baby? LL Cool J in the NBC sitcom "In the House"? We need George Mitchell on this stat.
4- In Buffalo Sabres news, Brian Campbell has cut-off all negotiations with the team until after the season AKA wants a trade before the deadline, or letting the team know he's peacing out at the end of the season. He does amazing excessive sweating local commercials that I will really really miss.
5- If you aren't excited for the return of the Real World/Road Rules Challenge, then you simply do not have a pulse. Danny/Melinda drama. The return of the ultimate champion Wes. CT being CT, and Coral being Coral. This will be absolutely captivating TV.

I thought it was pretty well accepted that movie stars go on steroids to build bulk. It's not like their acting credibility is based on the use of performance enhancing drugs.
Although, there'd probably be a controversy if Peter North was found to have used Viagra during his illustrious moneyshot career!
I seriously had no idea. I think that stars on steroids is a serious problem. For a role or not. Kids emulate these people.
On a strange note, I know I'm probably late on this too, but Jaimee Foxworth of TV's Family Matters hit troubled times and ended up doing porn. She is now on the whacky VH1 show "Celebrity Rehab" a quick Google search will tell you all about it.
