Believe it or not, but Terrell Owens is still playing football. Not NFL football, mind you. But some little Arena League team in which Owens has pinned hopes on a comeback that will end with a big NFL contract.

But it seems no one is listening to the guy who has left a series of burning bridges in his wake and still can’t figure out why no one wants him. So let’s bring in Dr. Phil and this awesome screen cap!

Personally, I find it difficult to feel much pity for T.O. Maybe it’s because he’s a douche. Maybe it’s because he’s pissed away $80 million in contract money and has four kids from four different women. He’s not exactly a role model. He’s more like the Kim Kardashian of the NFL lately so that doesn’t help.

Plus, he could always sell off a couple of those big-ass diamond earrings to help pay the bills.

In one of the classiest moves I have seen in years in the sports world, Tampa Bay signed Rutgers injured player Eric LeGrand after the draft in a nice move by LeGrand’s former college coach.  Even though it’s a symbolic contract it’s a classy move and LeGrand looks good in the new threads!

[via Yahoo! Sports] Legrand, whose football career at Rutgers came to an emotional and unexpected end in October 2010 when a special teams tackle left him paralyzed from the neck down, was signed by Bucs head coach Greg Schiano, who coached Rutgers at the time of Legrand’s injury.

It’s only been about 18 months since doctors initially predicted that Legrand would remain on a ventilator for the rest of his life. Eric proved them wrong by breathing on his own in a matter of weeks, but didn’t dream of stopping there. Just a year following the incident, he graced the cover of Sports Illustrated after his return to Rutgers to lead his teammates onto the field earned the magazine’s “Best Moment of the Year.”

We ask each year, and each year we are left wondering what happened.

Can the player elected to grace the cover of the Madden video game from EA Sports shake the Madden Curse?

The players who get on the cover have a hard time getting through the year. Some are worse than others but last years cover boy, Peyton Hillis, took down two other Peyton’s so it seems like the curse is getting worse.

Detroit Lions WR Calvin “Megatron” Johnson, owner of one of the best nicknames in the league, just signed a huge contract with Detroit to help add to the jinx of beating out Carolina Panthers QB Cam Newton  for the fan voted Madden 12 cover.

Johnson signed an eight-year deal worth up to $132 million last month. Wow. Nothing adds to the drama of the curse than news like that.

Hopefully, Megatron can show us all that the curse doesn’t exist. Or at least break the curse that does even though some believe it’s all in the fans heads.

Oh, the mid-80′s were such a simpler time. The NFL was coming into its own as the popularity of the sport and the Super Bowl reached record numbers. Uniforms were loose and tacky without much thought to style or functionality. The rival USFL had lost its way and the new music of rap was taking hold in mainstream culture.

That meant it was alright to do things like this. Several teams including the Bears with their Super Bowl rap had found success with the fans by rocking the Keytar and gathering the players to bust a rhyme. Today, these rap videos are hard to stomach which is why it’s such delicous awesomness to find videos like the 1986 Redskins rap called “Thanks 12th man.”

Before Dan Synder bought his franchise all the way to the cellar, the Redskins had a nice run of success in the 80′s with two Super Bowl wins including one in the 1987 season. So this video must have done something because they did win the big game the next year.

In 1986 the ‘Skins were powered by Art Monk, Charles Mann, Darrell Green, Jay Schroeder and head coach Joe Gibbs (before he retired for the first time). And If you are ready, and I think you are, prepare to witness something you have never witnessed before…

Here is a music video from 1986. This video features the 1986 Redskins in a Thanks to the fans! This was part of the 75th anniversary Giveaway to fans. Enjoy the dance moves. Hail to the Redskins!

This post started out as the Ten Worst Things Than The Pittsburgh Steelers New Throwback Uniforms but I couldn’t get past three things. There are prison uniforms, giant killer bees, and the World’s Ugliest Dog. After that,…not much.

Woof!

The Steelers are celebrating their 4th Anniversary of Ben Roethlisberger not raping someone so they decided to roll out their prision uniforms from the prohibition era.

Personally, I’m under the belief that just because your franchise wore it at one time doesn’t make it a good reason to dust it off to hurt our eyes.

Short of something you’d see luchadores where during a wrestling match, the Steelers just pushed down hard on the throttle on the ugly car and ran themselves into a brick wall.

Kinda like Ben Roethlisberger driving a motorcycle.

I also think it’s fitting that the Steelers chose a local Burger King bathroom to grab a chance to do a photo op of this turd.  Somebody please flush.

The worldwide impact of the sport of football lives strong in South Asia. Last fall the announcement came of the establishment of the Elite Football League of India (EFLI), which is the first men’s professional American football league in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.

It’s nice to see the American version of football spreading across the globe and getting established in an area relatively new to the sport.  India is huge on the sport of Cricket, which I tried to watch once.  I got confused and then fell asleep.  Not my cup of tea.

The EFLI is slated to begin playing in 2012 with ten teams located in various cities across India, one in Colombo, Sri Lanka, and one in Bangladesh. The EFLI will be South Asia’s first professional American football league.

[via] The Elite Football League of India will create an exclusively Indian product packaged perfectly and specially to advantage television and media support ultimately to become the most valuable sports franchise in the world.

Thousands of jobs will be created as a result of the immense need for coaches, athletes, trainers, referees, and support staff as well as the even greater demand for employees in the legal, maintenance, media, marketing and retail sectors.

And if you want to catch out the fun be sure to click below to watch the video of the first scrimmage from the EFLI from Salt Lake Stadium in Kolkata, India.

The NFL and NIKE have updated the arsenal of NFL jerseys with their new agreement and one team has quite the clever idea.  Kansas City Chiefs season ticket holders will now all get their very own personalized Chiefs jersey in a move to help the franchise celebrate 50 years of existence.

Chiefs fans can check out the details here.

It will take a chunk of change out of the Chiefs pockets to furnish an entire stadium with new threads so don’t be surprised to see some stipulations like one jersey per set of tickets, not for each ticket, and the quality of the jersey is not the highest.  But still, not a bad offering because we all would take them up on the offer if we were in the season ticket holders position.

[via PFT] The Chiefs announced on Saturday that, in recognition of the franchise’s 50th season in Kansas City, every season-ticket account will receive a personalized Chiefs jersey.

“We are very excited to be celebrating 50 years in Kansas City,” owner Clark Hunt said. “My family and I are extremely grateful to be a part of this great city and we have built so many fond memories here through the years.

When my dad brought this team to Kansas City, he knew there was something special about this place. For 50 years, the Kansas City community has rallied around the Chiefs, and for that, we want to say thank you for being the best fans in the NFL.”

Adam Schefter of ESPN is easily the hardest working chap at the network and his dedication to breaking the news of the NFL is second to none. In fact, his dedication to using Twitter to break news is one of the reasons I believe that Twitter is so popular. 

Adam has helped other journalists realize the instant impact of breaking news is a popular trait.

But now I just think of him as a genius because this whole time we were contemplating the Madden Curse and this whole time it seems like the conspiracy to ruin the year of the guy on the cover is deeper than we all imagined! It’s a conspiracy!

Wow! Consider my mind blown!

Last year’s Madden Curse on Peyton Hillis was so strong it might have even affected Peyton Manning and Sean Payton. Bad year to be Peyton.

The search for the cover boy for Madden 13 is in the works and Aaron Rodgers, Calvin Johnson, Cam Newton and Patrick Willis are in the lead right now. If I were one of those guys I’d start thinking about lobbying for the other three in the voting process.

Football may be over with at the moment but one star is still shining on Sundays. Tebow arrived in Texas to help out the Easter Service for Georgetown’s Celebration Church where an estimated 20,000-30,000 fans attended a rock-concert type of event where Tebus sat down and chatted up his religious beliefs for the crowd in honor of the Easter holiday.

In case you were not able to travel to Texas for the event, here’s a play-by-play of what happened including an LSU helmet and thousands of people swooning to Tebow’s words.

There was nothing flashy or crazy or ridiculous about the event except for the fact that the event occurred. And the event occurred because Tim Tebow is who he is. [via Roster Watch]

If you didn’t think that Tebow appearing in a pink shirt and talking shop would get you into the Easter spirit than just look at this video of Kate Upton in a Peter Cottontail outfit.  Now He’s risen… know what I mean!

New York’s latest Jet is sure to be a big hit on Broadway and if he can draw fans to the Meadowlands like he does on his personal time you can bet the Jets will be the most popular team in the NFL next year.

The Tebow of Liberty!

That’s crazy!  It’s not like he hasn’t talked to Jesus before.

[via KUVE.com] One of the biggest names in sports who also happens to be a devout Christian is heading to Georgetown for Easter Sunday.

On Wednesday, the first signs of Tim Tebow fever hitting Georgetown could be seen on 60 acres at the Celebration Church. Scaffolding and trellises were erected Wednesday on the church’s property for the Tebow visit.

The New York Jets quarterback will speak for 20 minutes during an outdoor worship service that could draw as many as 30,000 people for the Easter Service beginning at 10 a.m.
