T.O. + Ochocinco= Diva Destruction

There is actually a ton of news out there today but the most intriguing story comes out of the NFL. Mike Brown, the owner of the Bengals, has reportedly discussed the possibility of a contract with Terrell Owens' agent Drew Rosenhaus. QB Carson Palmer has worked out with T.O. and has publicly expressed his desire to have him as a teammate.

The Bengals already have a colorful wide receiver on the team in the form of Chad Ochocinco. The player formerly known as Johnson loves him some attention and spots on Sports Center. What will head coach Marvin Lewis do with two divas barking in his ear about wanting the ball? This could be a great idea and this could also be a disaster waiting to happen. Both players already have terrible shows on VH1 and the combination of the two would be grounds for another reality series. I pray that this union happens. On to the other news:

• After an investigation into a shooting at his birthday party, the NFL has decided not to discipline avid dog lover Mike Vick. It is yet to be seen what the Eagles will do with the model citizen. There is a suspect but the victim and other witnesses have refused to work with police because snitches get stitches.



• Former Buckeye Maurice Clarrett is making his return to an Ohio State classroom. The troubled running back has just returned from a 3 year stint in the Big House (and I don't mean the University of Michigan's stadium) and is looking to finish his degree. I am rooting for the guy. He got thrown under the bus by Jim Tressell and has made some really bad decisions. Here is to hoping he gets his head straight.



• Matt Garza threw the first no hitter in Rays history last night. Good for him.



• Dallas Cowboys rookie wide receiver Dez Bryant is not giving in to the tradition of hazing during NFL training camp. He has refused to carry the pads of rival player Roy Williams. Bryant claims that he was hired to play football and not carry some other player's pads. I for one think this is awesome. Bryant came in to be the #1 receiver and is refusing to let an older guy boss him around. That takes some major stones.



• It's like Christmas here at Sportsthat! Rick Pitino is scheduled to take the stand today and I can't wait. I was not issued a press pass into the trial because of media bias and miles of red tape. We will still report on Ricky 3 Stacks' lies during his testimony. The wheels of justice are turning R3S!


• A-Rod is still stuck on 599 home runs and with any luck he will take a monumental dive and never get there. The chances of that are zero and he will eventually get it. He is an admitted cheater and doesn't deserve any accolades as far as homers are concerned.
