Terrell Owens: He Doesn't Get It


For some reason he still sees himself as a "Super Star."  He didn't get it his first time in Dallas, when no one showed up for his training session to show the pros he still has it and now with his arena football team.

His ego once again has sabotaged his career.Earlier this week his team, the Dallas based Wranglers have dismissed Owens for contract violations. He refused to participate in two road trip games.

As if that were not bad enough he failed to show up at a scheduled charity event for a children s hospital . How arrogant is that? These kids need something special and they deserve better than TO.

Owens is threatening the Wranglers with a wrongful termination suite. Seems the mighty TO is upset about how they are treating him, poor baby. They paid him off on his ownership of the Wranglers with a $50.00 check. Personally I think he was overpaid $49.99 so he should be grateful.

They have served him an eviction notice from the home he was supplied and asked for the return of the 2012 Jeep Cherokee they gave him for transportation.

Owens did this to himself. He could have been one of the greatest WR in the history of the NFL Instead he will be remembered more for being the petulant brat he chose to become.

National Football League: New Rules

Beginning in 2013 there will be some new safety rules instituted by the NFL. Oddly enough there are players that are opposed to the new regulations.

What could the new rules be? Well the players dont like it because they believe it will take away from their speed and mobility. The new rule will require the players to wear knee and thigh pads. Until I read the article I was unaware the pros were not wearing that protective gear.

I disagree with the players who claim the pads will make them slower and less mobile. These pads are worn from little league through college ball. It only makes sense they continue to wear them in the pros where the hitting is harder.

Are You Taking Supplements?

If you are taking dietary supplements to enhance your athletic performance, you might be putting your health at risk. Some of you may already be aware that Bodybuilding.com was caught putting steriods in their supplements and the founder of the company paid a fine while escaping going to jail.

I was listening to the radio and heard a new report on this too lightly regulated industry, they are saying some of the ingredients used to increase athletic performance, lose weight or sexual enhancement supplemetnts are causing liver damage.

I was not able to find the information online about the new report but did find a story in the link below that I hope you will check out. The report is from Consumer Reports. If you are or have been taking the supplements, check with your doctor. If you have friends taking them, please connect them to the link.

SEC & Big 12 Strike A Deal


College football's landscape keeps changing. The more it changes the more it leaves others out. As you all know by now there is a move under foot to have a 4 game play off to determine the national champion for collegiate football.

The 4 contenders would come from the perceived 4 top BCS conferences. Seems that will leave 2 conferences out or will the BCS as we know it dismiss two of its conferences?

Now the SEC and Big 12 have struck a deal to have their own bowl game in an attempt to rival the Rose Bowl. This new bowl game will be initiated after the 2014 season. The champions of the Big 12 and SEC will face off with each other on a date and site to be determined. However if one or both of the conference champions are involved in the 4 team tournament to determine the national champion then the next team in line from each conference will fill the conference position in this new bowl game. . It also provides those two conferences an opportunity to send their champions to the Rose Bowl under the same provisions as this new bowl deal, leaving out the ACC and Big East. Read more...

Car Racing Icon Carroll Shelby Has Died


Many of you have heard of the Shelby GT sold by Ford. Older readers will recall the Selby Ford Cobra, one of the fastest street cars ever made. He turned the Ford Mustang, a car he once called a secretaries car, into one of the most popular street cars of the 1960s.

Shelby passed away a couple of days ago. I read his obituary and found he was an amazing man who led a very full and productive life.

He did more than mare car racing, more than build high performance street cars. I see his life as a great example of what you can do if you don't set limits on yourself.
Use the link below to read his obituary and you will see some of the records he has set outside thw orld of car racing.

New Orleans Saints: Things Just Got Worse

Anthony Hargrove claims he was told to lie to the NFL. When he was first questioned about bountygate Hargrove claims DC Gregg Williams told him he was going to lie to the NFL and wanted Hargrove to do the same.

In my opinion the likes of Gregg Williams and the other coaches and players that participated in bountygate do not belong in football. They were willing to destroy opponents health and careers and did not care how they did it. Football is tough enough there is no acceptable excuse for putting bounty s on other players.

Remember Alex Tanney

Last year he was an internet sensation on YouTube. Tanney a quarterback for Monmouth posted a video on YouTube demonstrating his trick shots with a football. His shots were amazing.

Like so many other players across the country he was ignored in last weeks NFL draft. However not all was lost. Seems some NFL teams are scouting players with great YouTube videos and Tanney is one who has reaped dividends from his video.

Philadelphia's Howard Lynn Is an Unusual Punter/Kicker

Philadelphia's Howard Lynn is your typical high school senior, he loves sports and plans to go onto college and maybe play sports in college. When it comes to his role in football, he breaks the norm.

He did the punting, kicking and pat chores for his team last season, nothing really unusual there. Where he break the norm is he a solid left footed punter and does his kicking chores with the right foot.

Boise State's Kellen Moore


The NFL draft is over and most who are going to sign free agent contracts have done so. The nations most winning quarterback, Boise States Kellen Moore was not drafted. However as soon as the draft ended he did sign as a free agent with the Detroit Lions.

Many of us Bronco fans were disappointed that old number 11 was overlooked but we were not surprised. His 50-3 record was not enough to over shadow his height and arm strength.

I am glad he is getting his chance. Detroit will be an ideal situation for Moore. Titus Young, a stand out wide receiver for the Lions is a former Boise State great. This plays strongly into Kellen's hands. He has a friend on the team and a receiver he knows. Moore and Young know each others moves very well giving Moore a target to throw to that he knows very well.

Even though Moore went undrafted I think he has his best shot at being an NFL player in Detroit and I also think he will prove the pundits wrong.
