Free agency is not over. There are still several players available that can come in and help the Philadelphia Eagles. However, as I sit here on Friday morning, I can’t help but feel the Eagles have misplayed their hand. In poker, you can slow play pocket kings through the entire hand and probably come out [...]
The other night, while being thoroughly entertained by those awesome ESPY awards, Seattle Seahawks WR Golden Tate noticed that NASCAR’s Jimmy Johnson was up for Best Male Athlete. He didn’t think that Johnson should be eligible. “Jimmy johnson up for best athlete???? Um nooo .. Driving a car does not show athleticism,” Tate tweeted. So, [...]
It was about a year ago that I sat in OTR’s very own, Micah Warren’s German luxury car (Volkswagen Jetta). We were headed to the range to hit some golf balls when I suggested an interesting, yet unlikely scenario. “The Eagles should make a move for Albert Haynesworth.” It was evident that this guy was [...]
This is great. Oney Guillen is the son of Ozzie Guillen and apparently got a lot of his personality from his old man. Bobby Jenks spent some six years with the Chicago White Sox, but he recently went to the Boston Red Sox. Upon doing so, he ripped his Chicago manager and claimed that he [...]
The Buffalo Bills aren’t a particularly good team. But, they aren’t a bunch of dogs either. They fight it out every week and are nobody’s pushover. Still, it was a bit of a surprise when they took the Pittsburgh Steelers to the brink on Sunday, forcing overtime at home. Not only did they take the [...]
We aren’t exactly sure how stupid some people can be. What part of “the NFL hates when you use slurs” don’t they get? Now, you can expect Buffalo Bills rookie RB/disappoint C.J. Spiller to get fined and/or suspended a game or two. Apparently, he and Philadelphia Eagles rookie LB Ricky Sapp don’t care for one [...]
Thanks to our buddy Susan for tipping us off on this one. Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson typed on Twitter in an almost readable, coherent fashion that the Eagles will go back to Dallas next week and “sting they ass.” “Got smashed by them cowboys 2daaaaaay sheeeeesh its all good we gonna sting they ass [...]
Kawika Mitchell and Larry Johnson were drafted in the same year (2003) by the Kansas City Chiefs. So they were in the same draft class and were teammates for four years. Mitchell, now on injured reserve with the Buffalo Bills, apparently doesn’t think too highly of Larry these days, and because he’s done for the [...]
Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News says that it’s very likely that Eli Manning will start for the Giants today against the heavily favored Oakland Raiders. “If all the positive signs weren’t enough for you, several sources say Eli very likely to start tomorrow barring a morning setback. #nyg,” he tweets. What’s most [...]
Terrell Owens didn’t take kindly to former Patriots safety Rodney Harrison getting on him for being selfish. After Owens went catchless for the first time since 1997, Harrison said that Owens is “more concerned with his own stats than the team’s success.” So, T.O. did thee noble thing and jumped all over Harrison on Twitter. [...]
Here are some more tweets from the world of athletics. Today is highlighted by Rachel Nichols and her impish flirtation with Antonio Pierce: “I have a suspicion Vick has not lost as much as the talking heads said he would.” – New York Jets kicker Jay Feeley: @jayfeely. You didn’t see him running against Jacksonville [...]
Here is another roundup of tweets from the sports world: “Just beat Adrian silly in Madden 10. I’m almost back on my game!!! 35-7 in 3.” – Minnesota Vikings WR Sidney Rice: @sidneyrice. Wow, that’s a butt whooping. Hopefully, All Day is better at real football this season than at Madden. “People. Send me pictures! [...]
We have a new feature here at OTR that will last as long as we want it to. Or, until you people complain so loudly that we just can’t take it anymore. This new feature is called “What they are tweeting.” We’ll scan our Twitter account and see what sports personalities are talking about for [...]
As you can imagine, the thoughts and opinions on Plaxico Burress are flying all over Twitter. Here is what some are saying: “Plaxico was naive and stupid and now he is paying the price and no one will convince me that his crime warranted 2 years that is pure BS,” says @BlkSportsonline. Really? It’s BS? [...]
Multiple league sources tell PFT that San Diego Chargers cornerback Antonio Cromartie has been fined $2,500 by the team for Tweeting about how bad the food is at camp. He Tweets: “Man we have 2 have the most nasty food of any team. Damn can we upgrade 4 str8 years the same ish maybe that’s [...]
