Is he done?

The question remains, will Terrell Owens find a job this season. The thirty eight year old receiver, who had dropped a lot of passes in preaseason,is looking for anther job. The Seattle Seahawks had cut Terrell Owens. He was not producing as they thought he would be. In his whole career, he had caught over 16,263 all purpose yards. That in itself speaks Hall of famer. At his age, teams would rarely pick him up. Age is a factor nowdays. In true honesty, I think we have all seen the last of number 81.

New York tidal waves

The drama between the New York quarterbacks is going down hill. None of the quarterbacks have thrown a touchdown in the preaseason. When asked about it, Mark Sanchez  replied,"Its preaseason and they will be fine in the regular season." In the spring of 2012, the Jets had gotten Tim Tebow as a trade from the Broncos.Tim Tebow is the  average quarter back that has a quarterback rating of 72.9%. The Jets organization was looking for a spark when they had acquired Tim Tebow. After two years of not going to the playoffs, they needed a spark. Mark Sanchez has the ability to led his team. Plaqued with distractions from teammates and the media, which quarter back will finally score a touch down. If they struggle again this year, what will happen to both quarterbacks?

Momma Said Knock You Out. LL Cool J Hospitalizes Burglar.

James Todd Smith, aka LL, was woken by a security alarm about 1 a.m. Wednesday morning and confronted the intruder outside his kitchen. As he confronted the intruder he was rushed by the man, in which LL had to take him down. The 42-year-old rapper turned TV military cop left the would be robber with a broken nose, ribs and jaw in what police sources described to the LA Times as a"knock-down, drag-out" fight and detained him for police. In other words it was a one sided beat down. As he confronted the intruder he was rushed by the man, in which LL had to take him down. The "Mama Said Knock You Out" rapper, legendary in Hollywood for his grueling workout regimen, emerged from the fight uninjured.

Police identified the suspect as 56-year-old Jonathan Kirby, a homeless man originally from Texas but with an arrest record in Southern California.


Kirby, who is still recovering from his injuries in a local hospital for treatment, has been charged with first-degree burglary and faces a maximum of 38 years to life in prison if convicted, the LA County District Attorney's Office announced Thursday. Prison records obtained by the L.A. Times show Kirby was sentenced to five years for burglary in the 1990s and three years for petty theft in 2005.


“LL Cool J, and his family, are safe and thank everyone for their thoughts and concern,” Smith's spokesman said in a statement obtained by The News. LL Cool J won't be charged in fight with burglar in his Los Angeles home: LAPD

Rookie superbowl

The comparsion between Robert Griffon 111 and Andrew luck are getting intense. The argument who will have a better season, proves that this is a fans dream. Both who was drafted one and two in the first round of the Nfl draft. The organizations for both these teams, needs a franchise quarter back. The face of reconstruction is now in the hands of both these young quarterbacks. As for today, the preseason is just a taste of what we will see from both these guys. Will it be Luck that brings a rookie to the suberbowl or will the dynamic R G 3 use his arm strengthen to throw in the Super bow?

qb battle

After getting traded from the eagles in 2011, Kevin Kolb is fighting for the starting postion with John Skelton. Arizona desperately needs a starting quarter back named by the end of preseason. Statistical Kolb has the edge by completing 76.7 % of his passes, while Skelton has only completed 66.9%. In recent years the cardinals have been coming up short in the quarter back range. When Kurt Warner made the decision to retire in 2010, the organization made a hopeful trade that aquired Kolb to go to the Cardinals :while corner back Dominique Rodgers Cromartie goes to the Eagles. It seems like the Cardinals need a miracle.  Since aquiring Kolb,Kolb has a ratio of 9 touchdown and 8 interceptions. In recent weeks, the Cardinals have shown an interest in Travaris Jackson. Travaris Jackson has an arm that has proven strong. His weakness has shown many times. He is very careless with the ball and he takes to many sacks by holding onto the ball longer than expected. With an exciting and physical wide receiver Larry Fitzerald, I think he will be a perfect fit for a struggling team.

Strike

Thirteen players from the New york Yankees was struck out on wedsnday. Everybody is raising concern for the organization. The White Sox just swepted them off this field, this year. Their 9 and 11 record in 20 games are raising an uproar in NewYork. The fans are shouting out their dismay, the club doesnt know what the matter is, and the manager is taking all the blame. Something has to be done, in order to get the yankees back into post season action.

Concerns for vick

The Eagles quarter barck, Mike Vick, was injured in anther preseason game. Right before halftime, Vick was hit along the ribs. His mri, showed that is was negative. Andy Reid, thinks its best for Vick to sit down the next two exhibition games, He responded when asked,"that Vick was a vetern and he would be ready for the season." Vick has been injuryed in privious seasons. The questions that we will seek, will Vick be healthy enough to finish the season? Will health be the achillies heel this season for the self proclaim,"Dream Team?" Will the season of holding the Lombardi Trophy be just a dream or will it be their reality?

Roscoe Dash makes moves with Karlie on Love and Hip-Hop (Examiner)

On the “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta” finale,Karlie sits in a bar and flirts with rapper Roscoe Dash, who tries to size up Karlie’s dating situation while also trying to put a smile on her face.

Karlie and Roscoe sit in a bar to first talk about business, as Karlie hopes Roscoe will do a record with her to better help her music career. Karlie’s drive to become a success in music is something that, on episode 9, was driving a wedge between her and Benzino, as Benzino felt she became too obsessed with becoming a successful music artist.


That strife left the door wide open for Roscoe Dash.


“I think Roscoe Dash is sexy,” says Karlie in her confessional.


“There’s nothing wrong with flirting,” she adds.


Sipping on drinks, Roscoe asks Karlie if she has a man or is single. Karlie’s response is somewhere in between.

“My [situation] is complicated,” she tells the rapper.


“You should never have to call your situation a situation,” jokes Roscoe.


Karlie and Benzino’s relationship has been a rollercoaster of emotions this season. Earlier this season on “Love and Hip Hop Atlanta,” Benzino said he was ready to settle down, to the point of giving Karlie a key to his mansion.


Things started to get serious between the two, until Benzino started to become annoyed at Karlie’s constant discussion of her music career. But it wasn’t all Karlie’s fault, as Benzino’s anger issues caused Karlie to back off on moving their relationship forward.


“Even though I still care about [Benzino], I have to keep my options open,” Karlie tells us on the “Love & Hip Hop Atlanta” finale.

Nicki Minaj judging American Idol?? (NY Daily)

Pull up a chair, because Nicki Minaj may just be joining the judges' table over at "American Idol"!


The colorful female emcee, 29, is reportedly already set to be the latest addition to Fox's hit singing competition show, a source tells Us Weekly.


"I'm not sure the deal is completely done yet, but yes, she is definitely doing it," the source told Us. "A few more things to sign off on but it is happening."


Another source told the magazine that Minaj is "100% confirmed to judge 'American Idol.'"


As of now, reps for both the network and the singer have not commented on the speculation.


If the rumors are true, then Minaj will be adding to a high-caliber panel that already includes singing legend Mariah Carey and has names like Pharrell Williams and Nick Jonas up for consideration.


Both Minaj and Carey, 42, are native New Yorkers. Minaj hails from Jamaica, Queens, and Carey was born and raised on Long Island.


Previous judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler announced that they were leaving the show earlier this summer, sending viewers into a frenzy wondering what musicians would be brought in to fill the void.

Carey announced her involvement in July, and since then, other names have been floated by the franchise, including Sean "Diddy" Combs, Adam Lambert, Miley Cyrus, Brad Paisley and Pink.


"What you've got to realize is you've got to create a panel that gels," show producer Nigel Lythgoe told E! News. "A panel that makes sense together. It's not just about three individuals."


The only remaining original member of the judges' table, Randy Jackson, will be reportedly moving into a more "mentoring role" on the show.

T.O. Going Broke?

According to the Forbes Magazine, Seattle Seahawks' Star receiver Terrell Owens is having financial problems. He is in the process of having 5 of his owned homes foreclosed on. Damn T.O. We hope you fly high for the Seahawks and get you a nice payout. Or go to Vh1 and get another show "T.O.: Can't CATCH a Break."

"Terrell Owens won’t win a popularity contest anytime soon. One of Forbes’ Most Disliked Athletes, the wide receiver has racked up years’ worth of bad behavior in front of fans on the field and teammates in the locker room.  Turns out he’s antagonized mortgage lenders, too.

In the past year, Owens has faced foreclosure on not one, but five homes around the country. Owens, who parted ways with the Dallas Cowboys in 2009, has defaulted on four condos in the Dallas area: two units in a swank high rise called the Azure and two on Commerce Street. The biggest, a 3,559-square-foot spread in the Azure, was sold in a short sale for $1.4 million in November, and a Commerce Street condo went in February for an undisclosed amount. The second Azure unit was repossessed by the bank for $293,699 in March. And the bank became the owner of the second Commerce Street condo in July for $311,595. After failing to make mortgage and condo maintenance payments on a Trump Tower apartment in Sunny Isles, Fla., it too was sold off in a short sale. The posh pad fetched $1.65 million in July."

It's Gametime

As the college season resumes in the next two weeks, there are concerns with the pressure Alabama will be facing. Will Nick Saben get  back into the National Championship. He had some of his impressive players leave to go to the National Football League. The questions he will face is, will they have that definate defense that we are accustomed to seeing? How will his offensive line hold up? Will there be pressure to get back to the National Title. In a few weeks, we will see if they can give us these answers.

Down Doesn't Mean Done.

I won't say "failure's not an option." I say we should embrace failure because it prepares you for the success ahead. The more failures you endure the more you are learning and growing and getting yourself ready for the success you seek. When you fail you know which steps not to take in the future and how to do what you've been doing better. So don't fear failure use it as fuel. Falling down doesn't make you a loser. Staying down instead of getting back up and defeating whatever obstacle knocked you down, does. Being a loser is a mentality Not a state of being, cause anytime you want to you can start winning. I's all inside your mind and dependent on your focus.

What Happened?

Only being married for a few months, Chad Johnson and Evelyn Lozado had a domestic dispute. The dispute was over a  pack of condoms that Mr. Johnson had bought. The argument turned into a headbut (lol). Mr. Johnson was jailed for one day and bailed out. This was suppose to be the fairytale of reality, but it looks like someone will have to use their head.

How did you like the magical theme of the olympics? It was very exciting to watch. I just wished next time that we can watch all the events live. There was a few mistakes, but it was just wonderful effort from everybody that made it happen.
