R.I.P. OTR

By Micah Warren | 4 Comments

Sources close to OTR have told OTR that OTR will be no more. It’s just not the same anymore and it wouldn’t fair to our loyal readers to continue to just go through the motions. We did have a great run though. We broke the Asante Samuel signing. We were the [...]

Sports blooper time!

By Micah Warren | 5 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 [...]

Tennis: A Bloody Sport

By Perry | Leave a Comment

Mikhail Youzhny is a tennis player. And when things go wrong on the court he likes to beat his head with the racket until it bleeds. Not till the racket bleeds, but his head.
This is a first for OTR. A tennis article!!! I actually had to create a new category. [...]
