Today was a fun day to be a sports writer

First off, T.O. missed his flight to Cincinnati so that he could start at Bengals' training camp.  But the fun didn't end there.  We also learned that T.O. attended a movie last night (via Twitter) and that he can't spell 'Cincinnati' yet.  I personally wonder if he mastered 'Buffalo' last season.

Then, Miguel Batista, a pitcher for the Washington Nationals, insulted Miss Iowa.  Hilarity ensued.  I especially like the comments on this story, but not nearly as much as I like the Photoshopped picture (above) that accompanied it.

T.O. cut by Bills

The Bills have announced their intentions of releasing T.O. on March 5 (which is Official Release Day, aka, Don't Let The Door Hit You On The Way Out, Adalius Day). Isn't that amazing? Here we have one of the great wide receivers of his generation who has languished because he never found the right environment to give him the support that he needed.

Change that scenario around slightly, and that could be Randy Moss. He still has 2-3 years before he reaches T.O.'s age, but it is amazing to consider how these extremely talented players have experienced these ups and downs. While I may not like him all that much, I do feel for T.O., to some extent, on this one. Get your popcorn.

We've got another corner!

The Patriots signed Leigh Bodden, meaning that my label of 'We Need Corners' is clearly being taken seriously by the team's management. Good to know. Although now (one can only hope!) we will not need corners any longer!

Also, we replaced our long snapper (he went to the Broncos) with another one who is apparently also very reliable. Larry Izzo of special teams signed with the Jets.

The Pats will now have to play against T.O. twice a year (he signed with Buffalo last weekend), but I feel that we can survive that experience.

There are still lots of rumors floating around that Jason Taylor will be signing with the Pats. I remain somewhat unconvinced.

T.O. cut by Cowboys

T.O. has been reportedly cut by the Cowboys. It's entirely possible he does not know this yet because apparently he is traveling and may have missed the news.

This article notes that who knows where he may wind up....there don't seem to be a lot of teams left for him to go to (not to mention that he would take up a lot of salary cap).
