ESPN-Our speculation from the past few days that the Niners might show some interest in in Leon Washington seems to be gaining some steam, according to the Twitter feed of ESPN 1320 Radio in Sacramento. As for any real evidence of interest, Matt Maiocco of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat indicates that he hasn’t heard anything yet from the team’s side.
Had Washington stayed healthy and productive all season, we wouldn’t be talking about him at all, since the Jets would have placed the high first and third tender on him or negotiated a long-term extension. But since Washington suffered a gruesome leg injury, no one knows what he’ll look like when he returns, ergo the move to place just a second-round tender on him.
Will another team take a flier on Washington, giving up a second-rounder with the hopes that he can be back to his old, dynamic self? It’s possible, especially from an RB-needy division rival that just so happens to have three second-rounders to play with this offseason. We also speculated on the Niners possibly making a play, and Rich Cimini of the New York Daily News confirmed on Tuesday that Washington has talked to a member of the 49ers’ coaching staff. Could’ve been about fishing, or the post-Bobby Bowden goings-on at FSU, could’ve been about playing in San Francisco. At this point anything’s possible. But Cimini also weighed some other possibilities for teams that make throw an offer at him, including the Vikings, Packers and Eagles.
As each day passes the chances of Leon Washington remaining a Jet look more and more bleak. But as we said a few days ago the Jets are not stupid, they’re not going to cut loose a guy like Leon Washington for no reason. So you have to assume that Leon’s leg is so fucked right now that the Jets trainers and coaching staff feel confident that he will never be the same player again. The sad thing about this is that everyone in NY liked Leon Washington. He was an exciting player that added another element to the Jets offense that I think we can all agree would be a tremendous asset to young QB Mark Sanchez. I’m with the Jets brass on this one though, if you can get a draft pick for him do it. It’s just a shame this kid couldn’t stay on the field for longer……..
Everything in this clip — clutch shots, fan reactions, announcers calls — from last Friday’s game between Albertus Magnus and William Paterson is tremendous.
I really didn’t think that ESPN would get a replacement for Steve Phillips, following his firing this offseason, but alas….I was wrong. Orel Hershiser will be joining Jon Miller and Joe Morgan this season for Sunday Night Baseball. Via ESPN PR….
Jon Miller, the recently announced winner of the Baseball Hall of Fame’s 2010 Ford C. Frick Award, and Hall of Famer Joe Morgan will be joined by ESPN analyst and former Major League Baseball Cy Young Award winner Orel Hershiser in the Sunday Night Baseball booth this season. Miller and Morgan are entering their 21st consecutive season on Sunday Night Baseball.
“Sunday Night Baseball distinctly offers Jon’s Hall of Fame voice and the combination of Joe’s Hall of Fame approach to hitting and Orel’s profound pitching knowledge,” said Norby Williamson, ESPN executive vice president, production. “Collectively, they will provide compelling analysis and debate during our national game of the week.”
In addition to his Sunday Night responsibilities, Hershiser will continue to serve as analyst during ESPN’s College World Series and Little League World Series coverage. He will also provide analysis for Baseball Tonight. Hershiser most recently provided analysis for Monday Night Baseball in 2009, and has contributed to Wednesday Night Baseball.
I’ve always enjoyed Orel in the booth, no pun intended, and now he’ll get a chance to showcase it with ESPN’s “A-Team”. Some find him bland, but his knowledge of game situations will help out a pair that has basically forgotten everything they’ve ever learned about the game.
YMM would like to congratulate the Dude on his Oscar victory on Sunday night. It’s been a long time coming, especially for a guy the square community doesn’t give a shit about. I’m sure he celebrated in style with a night of bowling, driving around, and the occasional acid flashback.
A new celebrity sex tape is being shopped around the porn community — and the person peddling the tape says the star is Rozlyn Papa from “The Bachelor.”
TMZ has learned the tape is being shopped to a variety of XXX companies all over all over L.A. — including LiveJasmin.com
We spoke to Kevin Blatt, a rep from the website, who tells us he saw the tape and “it’s definitely Rozlyn.”
Blatt claims the tape features Rozlyn performing “one sexual act with a well-endowed gentleman.”
A rep for Papa tells TMZ the reality star has, “no knowledge of any tape.”
Seeing as I still have my balls, I don’t watch the bachelor so I have no idea who this broad is. Having said that, if she wants to put out a sex tape I would be more than happy to give it a gander……
To all you Lil’ Wayne fans out there, Weezy has officially made his way to Rikers Island. It was only delayed over a month. With the judge giving him a month to get 8 root canals fixed. After that on the day he was sentenced to go in, there was a fire at the courthouse. After the fire he then rescheduled for Today. He is now behind bars for 8 months, so roughly he will be out before October.
So I would expect a great album coming out sometime around Christmas next year. I know that’s a long way off but what can you do…..
You should be ashamed of yourself if you needed the title to figure out who this was. After all, model asses are like fingerprints and snowflakes – no two are alike.
When I first watched this video I knew someone was going to crap their pants, but I never expected this outcome. It seemed pretty clear to me that as this video unfolded, the guy had a situation brewing. Which is why I was completely caught off guard when it was the chick who crapped herself. I suppose it’s possible that prior to filming this news report they both visited the same burrito truck for a quick lunch, because if this video lasted another minute the guy was going down too.
Is it just me or is pretty much everyone in this commercial look like their parents were brother and sister. Inbred or not though these mutants have a pretty good sense of humor. You’ve gotta love that “free parking in the rear” line, not bad, not bad at all
A Florida woman had downed almost a fifth of whiskey before she was pulled over on Monday. But that didn’t stop her from making up a witty alias when police later asked for her information. She explained that her name was ‘Alicia Butts’ right before she blew a .330 breathalyzer fail.
She identified herself as “Alicia Butt,” according to an incident report, but a deputy learned after taking her to the Bay County Jail that was not her real name.
Moments later she urinated in her pants during the field sobriety test. Only in Florida….
