The Terrell Owens show…

January 27, 2009

Terrell Owens has announced he will be hosting his own reality show on VH1 this summer. This marks the first time the words “T.O” and “reality” have been used in the same sentence.


Washington D.C. is getting back to normal. The Metro is less crowded, streets have reopened, and the only disappointed ticket holders are Wizards fans.


Should we be surprised that Governor Rod Blagojevich thought of offering Obama’s Senate seat to Oprah. He knew she could afford it.

Celebrating Obama’s election…

November 8, 2008

It seems like much of the world is celebrating the election of Barack Obama as President of the United States.  Including especially many of the commuters on Amtrak from Wilmington to Washington DC.  Finally, they are going to get some peace and quiet. 

(see bottom of this post if that doesn’t make sense.)

Despite many people’s worries the election seems to have gone relatively smoothly.  With few computer problems or allegations of tampering.

But all is not lost for conspiracy theorists – there’s still the BCS.

Barack Obama said on Monday Night Football that he thought we should have a college football playoff system.  Had he only added “and we should re-regulate the airlines”, he would have really won in a landslide.

To increase their revenue, Boston Red Sox are adding 560 new seats next year to Fenway Park.  And not to be outdone, while they bid for Manny Ramirez the Dodgers are adding seats too.  They will be sold for after the seventh inning only, and will be located in the parking lot.

Sam Perry has become a celebrity after Oprah cried on his shoulder Tuesday night and the pictures went out on worldwide television.  Just as well that the scene was televised.  Can you imagine coming home? “Yes, honey, it’s makeup, but it’s not what you think…really, it was Oprah.”

(oh, and regarding the commuters to Wilmington.  Joe Biden has been a regular commuter on that train.)

Turning over the same old Leaf…

November 7, 2008

Ryan Leaf was placed on “administrative leave” from his job as an assistant quarterback coach at West Texas A & M over drug allegations,  ten years after he was the number two choice in the NFL draft.

Yep, he’s right on track for a future career in “Celebrity boxing.”

All of a sudden, Peyton Manning’s 4-4 start with the Indianapolis Colts doesn’t look so bad. (Manning was drafted number one in the 1998 draft, Leaf was number two.)

The Los Angeles Dodgers have offered a hefty two-year contract to Manny Ramirez, but may end up being outbid.  Hey, times are tough, especially when you only get concession revenues from the third to the seventh inning.

On election night, Oprah ended up crying on the shoulder of a stranger, who turned out to be an Obama volunteer from California.   Sam Perry, aka Mr. Man, said he didn’t mind a bit, after all as a Democrat he was used to women crying on election night.

John McCain’s staff denied there were any bad feelings late in the campaign between the Senator and Governor Palin.  They also denied that McCain had had any “buyer’s remorse’ about the pick.   In fact, one aide said that John had even suggested Sarah go hunting with Dick Cheney.

The Denver Broncos defeated the Cleveland Browns, in “Thursday Night Football.”  Or, as the NFL refers to its new scheduling policy: “If we can find a night we think you will watch we’re playing a game.”

And once again, the Oakland Raiders home game Sunday will be blacked out in the San Francisco because the team didn’t sell enough tickets.  Is this really the right strategy.  Maybe the threat should be, if you don’t buy tickets, we’ll black out the alternate game between two real teams.

And after Barack Obama’s historic win, Americans stockpiled newspapers Wednesday morning to save for their grandchildren.  Who will probably ask someday “What’s a newspaper?”
