Owens blames ESPN for his unemployment

Terrell Owens is currently without an NFL team. He has played with the San Francisco 49ers, Philadelphia Eagles, Dallas Cowboys and Buffalo Bills since 1996. So right there you can probably scratch off four teams from the list of potential landing spots.

Stephen A. and the Inquirer sever ties…again

Remember when Stephen A. Smith got bounced from the Philadelphia Inquirer? Yeah, we do. He was involved in so much ESPN stuff that they apparently felt like he was just mailing in his columns. But he had some legal claim that made them have to keep him or something. Well apparently, that’s all been cleared [...]

Aaron Rodgers blasts Kornheiser

This is hilarious. Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers had some choice words for Monday Night Football “analyst” and ESPN “personality” Tony Kornheiser in a recent interview with ESPN Radio in Milwaukee. Rodgers sat down with Kornheiser in 2008 for a pre-production meeting before a Monday night game, and Rodgers was unimpressed to say the [...]

Legendary broadcaster Jim Brockmire

This is great. FunnyOrDie.com presents legendary broadcaster Jim Brockmire, played by Hank Azaria from “The Simpsons.” ESPN’s Dan Patrick, NFLN’s Rich Eisen and Fox’s Joe Buck all talk about what made Brockmire great. He was the first to use pop culture catch phrases no matter how obscure. The best part is how his career comes [...]

OTR is at the cabin

Just to keep all four of readers posted, OTR is currently on our weekend cabin getaway. We will be posting from time to time through Sunday, but it will not be at our normal pace. This means that if JaMarcus Russell gets signed, eats a triple ham sandwich or hijacks a bus full of penguins, [...]

Philadelphia sports ticket

We guess this is pretty funny. Actually, it is. Not sure exactly how we came across this, but this is supposed to be the back of every ticket that is purchased at a Philadelphia sporting event. It could be the Philadelphia Eagles, Philadelphia 76ers, Philadelphia Phillies or Philadelphia Flyers. It doesn’t really matter. Of course [...]

Hasselbeck apologies to Erin Andrews

This isn’t really sports, but it involves hot broads who have a tertiary relation to sports. So apparently, on Tuesday’s “The View” (which I’m sure you all saw) Elisabeth Hasselbeck criticized Erin Andrews’ costume on “Dancing with the Stars,” because this is what cutting-edge journalistic television roundtables discuss. Hasselbeck said that Andrews was “wearing next [...]

ESPN “Outside the Lines” has more JaMarcus ripping

We didn’t happen to catch Sunday’s ESPN “Outside the Lines” when they did a piece on Oakland Raiders QB JaMarcus Russell. Thankfully for us, Vittorio Taful of the San Francisco Chronicle did, and he gave us the highlights. -Former Raider Jeremy Newberry said Russell “looked like a lineman – he was way out of shape.” [...]

Sports rant writer

This is great and it should be noted that this language is not safe for work. This is from FunnyorDie.com and it tells the story of a rant writer. Basically, great athletes such as Mike Tyson, Philadelphia 76ers guard Allen Iverson, Arizona Cardinals head coach Dennis Green and Stephon Marbury have used this writer’s monologues [...]

Coletti criticizes Kemp

We understand that at certain times players don’t play up to their potential or hit a rough patch. And we understand that sometimes a coach or an executive will publicly call out that player in an attempt to light a fire. And while we understand why someone would do it, we disagree with it. So [...]

Kevin Kennedy helps thwart terrorist

Current Tampa Bay Rays analyst and former Boston Red Sox manager Kevin Kennedy was one of eight people who helped to disarm a terrorist from blowing up a Delta Airlines flight early Friday morning. A man was threatening to blow up the plane and tried open a cabin door before Kennedy and others said “oh [...]

Adam Schefter chokes on it

Our buddy JA thinks this is hysterical and we like easy ways to add content, so this is a win-win. ESPN’s Adam Schefter tries to give a report about A.J. Feeley signing with the Carolina Panthers last year and he gets all choked up. He continues to choke and choke and hack and spit. This [...]

Erin Andrews receiving death threats

Our pals at TMZ.com are reporting that ESPN reporter and “Dancing with the Stars” contestant Erin Andrews has been receiving death threats via email. The emails to “The Dan Patrick Show” regarding Andrews started out as sexual in nature, but then turned violent. According to TMZ, one reads, “Somebody should shoot her in the face.” [...]

Real NFL scouts think McShay is a joke?

We are pretty surprised that it took so long for an NFL scout to come right out and call out the supposed draft “experts” on ESPN and other news outlets. Mel Kiper has been doing it for years, but Todd McShay is the new guy on the block. And a source tells PFT that McShay [...]

Kornheiser suspended for Hannah Storm comments

Tony Kornheiser has been suspended from ESPN’s “Pardon the Interruption” for “some time” because of comments he made about Hannah Storm’s on-camera outfits. Kornheiser said on his radio show the other day: “Hannah Storm in a horrifying, horrifying outfit today. She’s got on red go-go boots and a catholic school plaid skirt … way too [...]

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Calendar

Who doesn’t love sports? We do, and that’s why we like Sports Illustrated. That magazine knows their sports and they always present it in a wonderful manner. As such, we thought we’d pass along some of the great sports photos from Sports Illustrated. This is Bar Refaeli, and we think she plays tennis. Or golf. [...]

Tim Tebow’s Super Bowl ad

Ian Rappaport of the Boston Herald has gotten a hold of the Tim Teblow pro-life advertisement that will run during today’s Super Bowl. This really doesn’t seem like a very big deal and we think that they have every right to run this ad. We think the real controversy is that CBS wouldn’t allow a [...]

CBS denies gay dating website ad for Super Bowl?

CBS has reportedly told a gay dating website, Mancrunch.com, that it’s ad space is full for the Super Bowl. The only problem? It’s not. The ad isn’t all that racy, no more than any typical beer commercial, so this wreaks of discrimination. Especially since they had no problem letting Jesus freak Tim Tebow have a [...]

Tim Tebow to star in Super Bowl commercial

Former Florida Gators quarterback Tim Tebow (that has a nice ring to it) will be appearing in a 30-second commercial during the Super Bowl on February 7th with his mother, Pam Tebow. Starring in commercials is the only way Tim Tebow will ever be associated with the Super Bowl. PHOTO CAPTION:  A couple Christian youths [...]

OTR is getting new drapes

Just fyi to all of our readers, OTR will be getting a new design soon. That’s right, as we take the next step towards adding advertisers and such (and by “such,” we mean “advertisers”), we’ll need to make adjustments to our current structure. That means new paint on the doors, maybe some curtains or wallpaper, [...]
