Sports blooper time!

By Micah Warren | 4 Comments

I’m waiting to get picked up to go to lunch, so I thought I’d post some sports bloopers. We can’t understand a single lyric of the song, but we imagine it has “sports bloopers” or “whoopsy daisy” in the chorus. Because then it would be relevant. Eat lunch at your desk and [...]

Second-round draft pick Fred Davis missed the Redskins’ Sunday morning practice because he overslept.
�Everybody was scouring,� Zorn said. �Nobody heard from him, so there was one of two scenarios. Either there was some real trouble and we needed to find him, or he screwed up. I haven�t even got to talk to him yet. I [...]

Thanks, FIA president!

By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment

OTR would like to thank Max Mosley, president of the FIA (Federation Internationale de L’Automobile) for taking part in an orgy with five hookers. Why? Because it’s great content for us. We don’t have to be funny, we just have to type.
Mosley said that he spoke in German during a sado-masochistic orgy [...]

With 50 laps to go at Atlanta Motor Speedway, last week’s winner Carl Edwards left the track with a broken transmission and Kyle Busch took the lead and never looked back. Topping speeds of over 190 miles per hour, Busch continued to stretch his lead with every lap. The only way any other driver had [...]

‘If you ain’t first, you’re last?’ Words to think about this upcoming weekend as NASCAR kicks their 2008 season off at Daytona International Speedway.
