Did you ever immediately regret a decision? For example...maybe you were at a bar, had a little too much to drink, and went home with a "sub-par" female--and you knew it. Hell, you went into the situation knowing such an occurrence would happen and that the following morning you may wake up to something a bit more nauseating than a hangover. Still, you did it. You accepted it. And every second before, during, and after, you regretted it.
Yeah. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers want to sign TO. Good luck with that.
Texas Ousts USC
I was watching the game with my buddies, AJ Feeley, Rob Johnson, and Kyle Boller, and none of us thought there was anything at all wrong with putting too much stock in one particular performance in a single game. Perfectly normal.
Phillies Remain in Neutral
The Philadelphia Phillies signed Ryan Franklin last week. Now, they have another "innings eater." This is not a good thing as I see it. Jon Lieber is supposed to be an innings eater also. I mean, how many damn calories are in these innings anyway?
I know, I know. I'm just bitter because I'm a Phillies fan, and rather than an "innings eater" I'd like to see the Phils sign a "good pitcher." Call me crazy.
Vick II to Turn Pro
Marcus Vick was kicked off the Virginia Tech team for, essentially, a number of incidents which became too much for the school to overlook. Vick will reportedly enter the NFL draft, where he is not projected as a quarterback, but rather a Terrell Owens.
New York Yankees vs. the World
George Steinbrenner has gotten his wish, and Alex Rodriguez, his best player, will not be playing in the World Baseball Classic. If you ask me, If he wants to worry about injuries, he might want to narrow in on AROD's chronic choking problem that seems to surface every playoff series.
Plus, Rodriguez could use some positive PR playing for the US team. It's bad enough that pretty much everyone in the country hates him...but I'm pretty sure his own teammates and fans of the team hate him just the same. Derek Jeter has a Ray Finkle-style shrine with a "666" numbered Rodriguez jersey on his bedroom wall, and he told me last week that he traded AROD for Ty Wigginton in his franchise on MLB 2005.
Dan Snyder's One Million Reasons Why Not
In Brewster's Millions fashion, Redskins owner, Dan Snyder, will reportedly pay African-American coach, Gregg Williams, $1 million if he is not selected as Joe Gibbs' successor at head coach.
Other teams got upset that, because Williams is being denied the opportunity to seek a new job, they will not be able to call him in for a condescending, meaningless, quota-driven interview to satisfy league minority hiring procedure. Which is, like, really unfair.
Herm Edwards, Big Chief
Former Jets coach, Herm Edwards, was put up for bid on ebay last week. The Chief's outbid me by about $11.99 million, but I don't care--damn thing's broke anyway.
That will do it for this week's week in review. Stop by next time to see if TO can stay out of the headlines a record three weeks in a row.
