Matt Millen Fired as Lions Team President
Written by Jay on September 24, 2008 – -It appears the Detroit Lions had enough with their losing ways and fired Matt Millen as their team president as well as their general manager.
It was first reported by Fox Sports that Matt Millen was leaving his position but no one was sure whether or not he was resigning or if he was being fired. Well, it seems pretty clear about the internet that he was in fact fired as of Wednesday.
I’m not going to bash Millen but it was bound to come. I mean, there was an entire movement that included fans, reporters, radio stations, and even Ford Motor Company Executive Chairman Bill Ford Jr. who is the Lions vice chairman, that wanted him fired quite sometime ago.
And who blames them?
Since Matt Millen was hired, the Lions have been the worst team in the NFL while combining a record of 31-84. That includes this year’s 0-3 start.
He was also the second-highest paid GM in the NFL and that being said, that’s definitely overpaid. Like I said the worst team-record since he was hired!
For the record, he also had some bad NFL draft picks from 2003-2007 by picking a wide receiver in the first round in each one of those years. And currently, two of those players aren’t even playing in the NFL anymore.
So, good luck to the new president of the Lions and GM whoever they are!

Travis Barker Plane Crash
Written by Jay on September 20, 2008 – -Former Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker plane crash took place last night and as of this morning, Travis Barker and DJ AM a.k.a. Adam Goldstein are in the hospital in critical condition.
It looks like the Lear jet that was carrying both Barker and Goldstein crashed shortly after take-off. It was reported that the jet went off the runway and crashed on a nearby road.
It is said that there were four total causalities which included two passengers and two flight attendants.
Barker and Goldstein was in South Carolina playing a free concert before boarding the plane. They were taken to a hospital in Augusta, Georgia, where they are treating them for severe burns.
As of right now, that’s all the information that was released. I’ll keep you updated when I find out more.

Chad Johnson “Ocho Cinco” Name Change
Written by Jay on September 5, 2008 – -
Ocho Cinco Name Change is official! Bengals wide receiver Chad Johnson managed to legally get his name changed to "Ocho Cinco" which is his nickname and his jersey number, 85.
Is it just me or Chad Johnson just took his extreme acts to the next level? I mean, he basically changed his name to Ocho Cinco so he could get that printed as the last name on the back of his jersey. Originally, he requested the NFL to change it but they denied the request because it was just his nickname. And now that he legally changed it, the NFL had no choice to approve his request this time around.
Well, Chad Ocho Cinco, your name new will be on your Cincinnati Bengals uniform on opening day against the Baltimore Ravens this Sunday.
It’d be hilarious if someone made him change his jersey number if he was to ever get traded. LOL!
Check out this hilarious video interview with him urging reporters to call him "Ocho Cinco."

LoLo Jones Has Some Nice Eyes!
Written by Jay on August 19, 2008 – -
Since we’re staying on the 2008 Olympics discussions, LoLo Jones , the USA favorite to win the hurdles, a track & field star, a woman on a mission… well, she has some nice eyes! Matter of fact, she’s pretty hot as well!
I know everyone is going to mention how LoLo Jones faltered on her last hurdles competition when she knocked down a hurdle and finished seventh. And I know she was the favorite for the gold medal and I know she lost but life isn’t perfect and we can’t win it all. I mean, shit happens, right?
Of course we all wanted her to win so we’re all pretty disappointed as well, but probably not as disappointed as her. There are always other races so you can never count LoLo Jones out.
