Yankees make offer to CC
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
iPhone blogging as OTR is out and about tonight.
The Yankees have offered CC Sabathia (a baseball pitcher) $140 million over six years.
We’re sure that they’ll increase that offer with little effort from CC’s camp.
Crazy Thursday’s at OTR

This isn’t sports, but sometimes we get so excited for Thursday football that it makes us crazy. So here is some entertainment for you as you try to speed up the rest of your work day.

No baseball tonight
By Micah Warren | 1 Comment
Bud Selig has announced that the continuation of Game 5 won’t be played until Wednesday night at 8:37pm.
With the rain scheduled to continue in Philly tonight, Selig surely doesn’t want to repeat the unmitigated debacle that occurred on Monday night.
The original game was allowed to go on far too long before being cancelled.

Burress sits again
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
Plaxico Burress didn’t start today against the Steelers and didn’t make it into the game until 18 minutes in. What a moron.
He was benched for missing a treatment sessions for his neck this week. He could be fined and suspended again. Stay tuned.
Larry Johnson is sort of sorry
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
Larry Johnson doesn’t want to get suspended for very long, so the team released a statement that we’re absolutely sure he wrote himself. We get the feeling that he’s acknowledging the fact that he really did spit in that girl’s face and threaten to kill her boyfriend:
“I want to start off by saying I [...]
Micah on the radio

For anyone that cares (and we doubt anyone does), I’ll be on SportsRadio 610 WIP in Philly tonight around 7:25 PM with G. Cobb talking Eagles, Phillies and football in general. If you aren’t in the area, you can log onto www.610wip.com and click on “Listen Live.”
I’ll also be popping briefly into Sean Landeta’s [...]
McBriar getting foot X-rayed
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
The Cowboys may have more problems than just Tony Romo getting hurt. Punter Mat McBriar will have X-rays on his right foot after the Cardinals’ Sean Morey slammed into him while blocking a punt.
Say what you want about punters not being important. That’s all well and good until you have a [...]

Sorry, OTR folks. I was out all day at Joe Namath’s celebrity golf event. I’m iPhone blogging right now, but will be posting my thoughts from the event tomorrow.
My Thoughts Eagles/Redskins
By Micah Warren | 3 Comments
I do not understand the transformations that this team goes through during the course of a game. Early on (as G. has mentioned), the scripted plays dominate and then after they run out, the offense goes in the tank. Well, what about the defense? On that first drive, the Redskins didn’t look like [...]
Not sports, but…
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
I noticed JD Roth hosting that new game show about how well you know your family. I won’t lend credence to it by mentioning the name (also because I don’t remember it and don’t feel like looking it up). But it made me think of “Fun House.” Anyone remember “Fun House?” [...]

Phils set starting rotation
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
The Phillies have announced that Cole Hamels will start Game 1 (shocker) against the Brewers. For Game 2, they are sending Brett Myers out to the mound with Jamie Moyer set for Game 3.
Myers is the real wild card in the Phillies’ playoff chances. Which Myers will show up? The guy who [...]
Newsflash!: Kansas City not thrilled with QB
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
Herm Edwards indicated that he may be leaning towards going back to Damon Huard at QB. But why? Tyler Thigpen only went 14-36 with three picks on Sunday. And they weren’t just interceptions; they were interceptions with promise.
But for whatever reason, Herm is going to do what Herm is going to do. [...]
Reggie Brown inactive
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
ESPN’s Michelle Tafoya asked someone within the Eagles what was going through their head regarding Reggie Brown and learned that he will be inactive for tonight’s Dallas game.
Brown is still fighting through a bum hamstring that he messed up in the preseason against Carolina.

Someone grabbed Pacman’s junk
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
According to Pacman Jones, after he muffed a punt and dove on the ball, Browns DB Nick Sorenson grabbed his johnson. Pacman said that if he was the old Pacman, he’d have done something dumb and gotten a 15-yard penalty.
“I told that dude, ‘Man, you’re lucky I’m trying to do better, because I would [...]

Rudi signs with Lions
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
According to MLive.com, the Lions have inked former Bengals RB Rudi Johnson.
Johnson is expected to be the #2 back behind rookie Kevin Smith. This probably isn’t a good sign for Tatum Bell.
Isringhausen done for good?
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
Jason Isringhausen is done for the year with a torn flexor muscle near his right elbow. The 36-year old reportedly told teammates that he has no interest in attempting a comeback from the injury, so Izzy could be gone for good.
If so, it would be the official end to all the high [...]

I know this has nothing to do with sports, but I think this is absolutely hilarious. This guy on YouTube takes foreign music videos and writes English subtitles based on what it sounds like they are saying. “Enter the Hymen Store” just may be the funniest line ever uttered by any human being.

Andrews to be safe from fines?
By Micah Warren | Leave a Comment
I recently wrote for GCobb.com that Shawn Andrews could be safe from fines. Why? Because if the team was well aware of his condition, he could avoid fines based on legal terms that we can’t comprehend. We talked to Andrew Abramson, an attorney who knows his stuff.

Keith Rivers signs

Bengals first-round pick Keith Rivers has finally signed.

ESPN’s Buster Olney says that the Dodgers are in talks with the Padres about acquiring the services of pitcher Greg Maddux.
At 4-8 with a 4.29 ERA this year, we can see why the Dodgers would be so hot on his trail.

Phillies trade for Blanton

The Phillies traded three minor league prospects on Thursday for A’s starting pitcher Joe Blanton. In return, the A’s get Adrian Cardenas, Josh Outman and Matt Spencer.
OTR isn’t thrilled about losing Cardenas, but he is a second baseman and not likely to start over Chase Utley any time soon. The Phils need starting [...]
Scientific American looks at all the broken bats in MLB this year
