If you didn’t get a chance to watch the opener of the NFL preseason last night then you missed an outstanding play from the Tennesse Titans punter. Yes, I said the Titans punter! Former Buckeye AJ Trapasso pulled off a stellar fake punt last night in the Hall of Game by going behind his back with the football and ending up with Trapasso entering the end-zone for a Titans touchdown. Tennessee beat the Buffalo Bills 21-18 in large part due to Trapasso’s fake punt early on in the first quarter of the game.
Eli Manning Wins the Lottery
The New York Giants and Eli Manning have reportedly agreed to a $97.5 million six-year contract extension. This ludicrous deal will make him one of the top three highest paid players in the NFL with an average salary of roughly $15.3 million a year. An individual close to the discussions who asked to be anonymous since the deal hasn’t been signed says Manning is guaranteed $35 million in the extension which would keep him in New York through the 2015. However, 2015 is completely in theory because I don’t see Eli handling the New York pressure and expectations for another six years. Eli isn’t close to one of the top three players in the NFL and while he is set for life he won’t be the happiest camper over the coming years after inking this contract.
LenDale White Likes the Worm
Bruising running back LenDale White of the Tennessee Titans has lost thirty pounds during the offseason and the method he used for shedding the pounds is quite interesting. White a former star for USC told an AP reporter that he completely cut tequila out of his life. “I was drinking a lot,” White, told AP. “I cut that out of my diet all the way. I don’t drink at all.” The weight, he says, “started falling off.” While I don’t believe for one second the only step White took was passing on Patron shots, but if that is the case he must have been one nasty binge drinker. On a side note, this is a contract year for White which is probably why he cut of his friendship for the time being with Jose Cuervo.
Favre Officially Done?
That first sound you just heard was the huge sigh of relief from Sage Rosenfels and Tarvaris Jackson because they now have a shot to be the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings after Favre announced he won’t be coming back. The other sounds you heard were Vikings fans dropping f-bombs because they can’t win the Super Bowl with either of those two jokers at the helm. Favre has told ESPN’s Ed Werder and Vikings head coach Brad Childress that he just can’t do it physically anymore so he would like to thank the Packers, Jets, Vikings and most importantly the fans. Is this really the end for Favre’s NFL career or is he actually Jason Voorhees and he never really dies?
Keith Eloi Continues to Amaze
A couple of months ago we introduced you to Keith Eloi and his hops via a video of him jumping flat footed into the bed of a F150 Ford pickup. Eloi has made another video and this time it shows him jumping out of a pool BACKWARDS! I really hope Eloi makes the Redskins team because I think he has the potential for some highlight type plays.
The NFL Draft is Moving on UP
The NFL draft is already large and in charge, but the NFL has taken steps to make this event even more of a juggernaut this coming year. The 2010 draft will change from the standard two days over the weekend format to a three-day event with the first round being held in prime time for the first time ever. The first round will begin at 7:30 PM on Thursday April 22 with the second and third rounds airing at 6:30 PM on Friday even and then rounds four through seven starting at 10:00 AM on Saturday. The draft will continue to be televised by ESPN and the NFL Network and held at Radio City Music Hall. Last year this event had 39 million viewers and with the steps the NFL has taken I only see that number increasing. Break out the hair gel kids because this change can only mean Mel Kiper, Jr. will even become more popular with all the hype surrounding the big event.
Forget Flutie Flakes
Terrell Owens is on one heck of a self-promotion spree these days even for someone as conceited as TO. We are all well aware Owens loves him some him, but he has really kicked it up a notch in the few months. The recently aired VH1 reality series “The T.O. Show” is just another notch in Owen’s belt, and now comes the news he has his own cereal. T.O.’s are made of honey toasted oats and they come in a collector’s box that features the prima donna on the cover. On the back of the box is a picture of TO in a Bills helmet pouring the cereal onto his face with the phrase, “Getchya popcorn ready.” Owens better hope he sells some cereal now because by the middle of the season when he is whining and giving Trent Edwards grief the fans will already be fed up. (no pun intended)
Tony Romo Expert Cougar Hunter
It has only been a week or so since Cowboys fans hopes for a good season were lifted exponentially due to Tony Romo breaking things off with Jessica Simpson. I still think the reason the separation occurred was because Romo refused to have any part of the Ken and Barbie themed birthday party Simpson had scheduled the day after Romo called it quits. Either way it didn’t take long for Romo to move on because whispers out of Texas suggest Romo hooked up with 43 year-old “Blame It on Rio” actress Michelle Johnson the very next night after giving Jessica the boot. I think it might be safe to say Romo is a boob man whether they are real or store bought based on his selection of the female race.

TO is Joanna Krupa’s Bi#*h
Terrell Owens and model Joanna Krupa were partners in the ABC show The Superstars where an athlete gets paired up with a celebrity so they can compete in a series of athletic competitions. If you noticed I said “were partners” because it only took one show for the team to be eliminated and they were the early favorites to win it all. We have both the censored and uncensored videos for you that display the tongue lashing Joanna Krupa gave Terrell Owens after the loss. How does it feel now TO?

Cowboys Video Wall Gaming Experience
Have you ever had the pleasure of playing Xbox 360 or PS3 on a nice 60 inch LCD television? The visual is stunning, but I bet it doesn’t hold a candle to playing on the 72×160 foot LED video wall in the new Cowboys Stadium. It would be so nice to have one of these at home, but the problem is it wouldn’t even fit in mine. Check out this video for a sample of every gamers dream.
