We haven’t seen this commercial on television yet but it’s genius. It’s probably extra special for Eagles fans as the Burger King looks like Howard Eskin, also known as the biggest ass clown sports radio host in the world. (Via The 700 Level)

Otis! My Man!
Well, US Weekly has made it official: Andy Roddick and Maria Sharapova are dating. This has been speculated since January so it’s not really news. However, we point you to this photo of them on some red carpet thing. Have you seen two celebrities with more awkward smiles? They look like Boon and Otter when they stepped into the Dexter Lake Club and realize they’re the only white people there.

Terrell Owens has been named in a civil court motion as a witness to a bar fight in East Dallas. According to court records, an ex-Eagles cheerleader named Tara Smith attacked a woman named Christi Proctor at the Candle Room, punching her in the mouth and pushing her down. Owens has been named in the motion because he knew her and might have invited Tara Smith to the bar.
Tara Smith was an Eagles cheerleader when Owens was in Philly and all of the sudden she’s in Dallas? Maybe the only thing TO was missing from Philly was his very own cheerleader.

The Luckiest Unlucky Cowboy
Perhaps God is just messing with Keith Davis, a Dallas Cowboys free safety. Early Sunday morning, Davis was shot in the head and the leg during a drive-by shooting but he’s in stable condition after surgery and is doing fine. Police think the shooting was an attempted carjacking because of Davis’ pimped out Chevy Impala.
This isn’t the first time he’s been shot. A couple of years ago, he was shot three times outside of a strip club. He was an innocent bystander but was released anyway because Bill Parcells has an anti-strip club policy. Talk about insult to injury.
In any case, I wouldn’t want to be going up against Keith Davis on the field. After being shot in the head and surviving, he must feel like he’s invinceable — there’s no question what he could do on the field. Hell, we’re predicting a Terrell Owens – Keith Davis lockerroom fight right now.
Oh and may we suggest that Davis start driving a minivan or a Plymouth Reliant. “Who’s gonna carjack your fuckin’ K-Car?”

TO misquoted in his own book
Hero
Remember when Charles Barkley claimed he was misquoted in autobiography and then blamed himself? (“That was my fault. I should have read it before it came out.”) Ahhhh Sir Charles, with a wit as large as his behind. T.O. will never be Charles Barkley — though he’s trying his best.
TO said that the line in his book about his return from a broken leg to play in the Super Bowl, “If you’ll forgive me for saying so … nothing short of heroic”, was something thought up by his co-writer, Jason Rosenhaus and that he never used the term heroic.
Of course, those familiar with the saga of TO will remember that it was Chris Berman who first used the term in his Al-Jazeera interview with TO in the midst of the whole suspension fiasco last year. It was such a fluff interview that it seemd like Drew Rosenhaus wrote the questions for Berman.
And now back to the Century 21 presents baseball’s Verizon call of the day on ESPN with special guest announcer Mickey Mouse.

Details on T.O.’s new book
The official release date of the new T.O. book is July 29th but the Philly media already has some advance copies of it for review. (We’re still waiting for ours…) Here are some details from the book. Most of it apparently deals with his relationship with McNabb.
- Owens says that McNabb is a hyprocite and a weak leader.
- Owens wronged by McNabb, arbitrator Richard Bloch, and Andy Reid.
- Owens says McNabb was jealous of his popularity in Philadelphia. “I was getting so much of the Philadelphia glory that used to be his,” Owens said.
- T.O. felt his comeback from suspension was derailed by McNabb. “Then Donovan added salt to the wound,” Owens writes, “by coming out and saying the Eagles would be better off without me. Donovan’s statement created a public ultimatum for Coach Reid. Left with no choice, Coach Reid suspended me for the season.”
- His change of heart about this contract was because Randy Moss was going to get $18M in guaranteed money while he was getting only $2.3M.
There should be plenty of fireworks on October 8th when the Cowboys play the Eagles in Philadelphia. The investment that ESPN made in letting TO run rampant on their network last year isn’t paying off. The game will be on Fox.
