Houdini act? Will he be escaping from a set of chains?

Despite the fact that Jenna’s husband would break me in two, that was the most self-serving, ridiculous, ego-driven retirement speech I have ever heard. Any hope she pulls a Seau?

No, just vanishing

Time Union baby! Albany represent!

Lebron was coming back from the airport. He wasn’t drunk or anything, thank god.
However, 101 MPH puts him in reckless op. territory in the state of Ohio. He plans to plead not guilty, according to morning news.

Terrell Owens is crazy. I’m 100% serious. He’s going to absolutely lose it one day and attempt suicide. Oh, wait…I guess he already did. I’m not sure why this is hardly even discussed anymore. He needs help.

Nick P- m-4, max is 30 days. He will likely get a $250 fine.
And yes, atlanta, I do believe Terrel Owens is off the reservation. He looked like Kanye West on steriods at his press conference.

Tony Romo does not like black people.

Houdini was an escapist.

The Big Lebowski: “Strong men also cry. Strong men also cry.”
The Dude: “Fuckin’ A man, Fuckin’ A.”

Tell that to the elephant he made disappear.

@The Maj – True, but also never had a 1000 yard rushing season.

i expected jimmy dugan to come out and yell at T.O. during that press conference…

Jenna will be back. She’s the Michael Jordan of porn.
January 14th, 2008 at 10:06 AM
Jenna is at the same point in her career that Steve Carlton was in his ~ 1986.
Hard to believe that her career-making moment in “Private Parts” was over ten years ago (or maybe it’s not). Where did the time go?

At least Lefty didn’t get banged out by 1,000 dudes.
January 14th, 2008 at 10:35 AM
Let me know when Houdini disappears.
January 14th, 2008 at 10:36 AM
We will, Maj. Now let it go, buddy…let it go.
January 14th, 2008 at 11:59 AM
Lebron needs to be locked up.
January 14th, 2008 at 12:23 PM
BTW…Shakira is smoking hot. But, she’s really not showing much skin in TBL’s picture. You could put a burqa on her and she’d fit right in on aljazeera.com’s Extra Mustard page.

No way a trade with Nene happens, the guy just got a tumor or something removed…maybe Isiah will trade him straight up for Crawford.
