A little while back you may remember a post here about T.O.’s Twitter stalker. Well Terrell is generating some more “controversy” with his Twitter page, only this time ESPN picked the story up and ran it on their front page.
Honestly, there isn’t a whole lot to this; basically T.O. wasn’t allowed to rent a place in Orchard Park because the residents didn’t want to deal with the inevitable ensuing media circus.
Late Tuesday night, the Bills receiver posted a message on his Twitter.com site that read he’s “tripping about residents” who won’t rent a home to him in Orchard Park because they “[don't] want any drama n their neighborhood!! LOL!!! Wow!!.”
How this story warrants a front page spot on one of the biggest sports web sites on the web baffles me…maybe there really is something to T.O.’s “they’re out to get me” attitude? Probably not, but still pretty weak move on the WWL’s part.
Also drawing headlines today is Jake Peavy’s performance against the Phillies last night. 1 IP, 3 H, 4 ER, 2 BB, and a supposed “upper respiratory infection” that took him out of the game. How pissed is the Padres front office at this guy right now? He nixes a trade to Chicago, continues to be a pain in the ass in terms of where he will and will not go, and then goes out and puts up a stinker against a team that may have interest in him.
Look Jake, wanting to be moved to a contender is fine, but at the very least you need to sack up and at least play well enough so that the Pads get decent value for you. As it stands now who is going to pay $15+ mil a year for a guy who can’t stay healthy, gets shown up by rookies making their first career start, and shows incredibly questionable toughness?
Finally, a big shoutout to Titans BACKUP QB Vince Young. Speaking of toughness…VY makes Jake Peavy look like Bear Grylls. Young made comments to a Baltimore TV station hinting that he may want to be traded if he can’t win the starting job from Kerry Collins, then had his agent come out today and say he actually doesn’t want to be traded.
Look Vince, it’s bad enough you can’t beat out a mediocre old fart for the starting spot, why draw anymore attention to the epic failure you have become? Unlike in the college game you actually need to be a smart, accurate passer to be an NFL QB and VY is neither of these. Good luck in your next endeavor Vince, I hear Walmart might be hiring.
Thanks to drunkathlete.com for the Peavy pic.
