Red Rover, Red Rover, we call T.O. over!! Well, it's another Mooooonday night and while there's not Monday Night Football, there is Terrell Owens on Monday night which, to me, is just as good.
I am a sports guy and heck, I've made my living covering the games I love for the past four years, so that might have a part in this, but I finally saw the first episode and loved the show. It gave a peak at him as a guy and it was pretty great.
The opening of the show humanized him and showed his soft side as he was on his couch and obviously had been crying. For those that laughed at him, just think about getting fired and what you would think.
The funniest part of the show that made him seem like just a regular guy was when he first arrived in L.A. and caught the eye of the real estate agent. I mean, he looked like a kid when he saw the Asian Jules and smiled like a little kid. Could you really blame him? I mean, c'mon.
That's why I'm so pumped for tonight's show which shows him arriving in Buffalo. Could be some awesomeness there!
Continuing on the football talk today, here's a countdown that will tell you when it is football season. In more pertinent news, NFL Commish Roger Goodell handed down a conditional re-instatement of Michael Vick today and he will be allowed back into the league but will have to serve a suspension that will last until Week 6 of the regular season. Peter King at SI.com has a story that's on point on the subject.
My take on the matter is this and it might not be what jives with what the "good guy" would normally say, but hell, just listen. He did his time. He knows he messed up. And he's got Tony Dungy at his side now to help make sure, as Peter King says, some of those "hangers on" aren't around anymore to pull his life down. So how can you deny the man a chance to make a living? I can understand the additional 4-6 game suspension so see if he has learned and can be a model citizen. He gets through these next two months, then let him show what he can do for a team and maybe show a lot of those naysayers he's still got it. Don't make him pay anymore for his crimes. I've read some "For what Michale Vick did to those dogs, he should suffer 10-fold." I mean, really? Yes, what he did was awful, but the point of the justice system is to rehabilitate a person. Don't, just because he is famous and a football player, try to make an example out of him. That's just as bad an idea as giving him a free pass b/c he's an NFL QB.
OK, enough time on my soapbox, let's bring some funny (Plus I need something to get my mind of the Brewers struggles).
I found this on SI.com's Hot Clics today and I must say, after last week's rain delay in Pittsburgh, some of the funniest baseball talk and events seem go down during them. This is St. Louis prospect Casey Mulligan dancing to "Thriller" during a rain delay. Takes a bit for the good stuff, but just wait for it.
This is another one from Hot Clicks, that shows some differences in the end of Back to the Future I and Back to the Future II. The one difference I like, Elisabeth Shue. Love her!
Time for the return of Nussie Hunter and this one is from WWE as last night I watched WWE Night of Champions with Susie and Nick. Decent show, but one thing people don't realize is the fact they have some of the hottest women you've seen on their shows. It's ridiculous. One of my faves, Mickie James, won the Divas Title last night and I couldn't be prouder.
Hope to have a recap of Shaq as the host of WWE Raw tomorrow for you guys. Have a good night!
