Ocho & TO
It doesn’t become any more official until you see them both standing together in the locker room.
As Chad states on his Facebook:
Whether you like it not, it’s going down, all db’s can kiss da baby! Be ready!
Yeah. This Bengals season is going to be on like donkey kong. Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson & Terrel “TO” Owens, two of the biggest drama queens, on the same team. I love it.
Governator declares “fiscal emergency”
Well, if you must insist…
While I’m not suggesting we all go out and get smashing drunk until we’re too old to care, there are more benefits!
Rheumatoid arthritis patients who drink alcohol tend to have less severe symptoms than those who don’t, a new study finds. Earlier research has shown that compared to teetotalers, alcohol drinkers are less likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis, a progressive and often disabling inflammatory disease that attacks the joints.
But the study is the first to suggest drinking alcohol can lessen the severity of symptoms in people who already have the disease. Patients in the study who drank at least 10 alcoholic beverages a month had 20% to 30% less pain and inflammation than patients who didn’t drink alcohol, rheumatologist and study co-author James Maxwell of England’s University of Sheffield tells WebMD.
While he acknowledges more study is needed to confirm the association, Maxwell says the evidence is mounting that moderate alcohol consumption reduces both the risk and severity of rheumatoid arthritis. “Generally speaking, it appears that drinking alcohol in moderation may benefit patients with rheumatoid arthritis.”
Two divas, one team
Yeah, it’s official. Terrell Ochouno has joined the Cincy Bengals right next to Chad. As I predicted some time ago. =)
The Cincinnati Bengals and the controversial wide receiver agreed to a one-year contract today, according to multiple reports. The deal is worth $4 million ($2 million in base salary, $2 million in incentives), according to Profootballtalk.com.
Fellow Bengals wide receiver Chad Ochocinco confirmed the news on his Twitter account with:
“My homeboy is a Bengal all our games have been moved to pay-per-view.”
The Bengals report for training camp Wednesday in Georgetown, Ky. Owens is expected to arrive for the first day of workouts Thursday. The 36-year-old Owens is playing for his sixth NFL team. He played for the 49ers from 1996-2003, the Eagles from 2004-2005, the Cowboys from 2006-2008 and the Bills in 2009.
The Bengals signed free-agent WR Antonio Bryant to a four-year, $29 million deal back in March and were seemingly looking good at the receiver position. Bryant was signed to start opposite Ochocinco, but Bryant dealt with knee problems most of last season.
Oh Football season…
This is what happens when I try experimenting with mock fantasy football drafts. =)
StarCraft II: It’s about time
Twelve years later, and over a decade in the making, it is finally here. StarCraft II (Wings of Liberty) releases tonight. I was excited about this game coming out 2-3 years ago, but that slowly faded as I “found other things to do”, and now I sadly cannot fathom purchasing this game and not having time to play it at home.
I remember racing home from school, running into my room, loading up the infamous Dial-Up internet, and connecting to the Battle.Net servers to play some StarCraft online with friends. I had a massive account, thousands of wins, and was a member of one of the top StarCraft websites (Shafe.com – now extinct) at the time. As such, this franchise holds a special place in my heart.
I had a chance to play the beta for awhile when visiting my sister and her boyfriend a few months back; it was fun, not as complicated as I figured it would have been, but I still had the Real-Time Strategy (RTS) skill, for sure! View the cinematic trailer here:
United States court legalizes iPhone ‘jailbreaking’ among others
Owners of the iPhone will be able to break electronic locks on their devices in order to download applications that have not been approved by Apple. The government is making that legal under new rules announced today.
The decision to allow the practice commonly known as “jailbreaking” is one of a handful of new exemptions from a federal law that prohibits the circumvention of technical measures that control access to copyrighted works. Another exemption will allow owners of used cell phones to break access controls on their phones in order to switch wireless carriers.
In addition to jailbreaking, other exemptions announced Monday would:
- allow owners of used cell phones to break access controls on their phones in order to switch wireless carriers
- allow people to break technical protections on video games to investigate or correct security flaws
- allow college professors, film students and documentary filmmakers to break copy-protection measures on DVDs so they can embed clips for educational purposes, criticism, commentary and noncommercial videos
- allow computer owners to bypass the need for external security devices called dongles if the dongle no longer works and cannot be replaced
Terrell Ochouno?
Wait. What? The Bengals earlier this year stated there was no chance Terrell Owens would be headed to Cincinnati. And now? I just don’t know who to believe.
His career is washed up though, for sure. Both his NFL career and his “acting” career before it’s even really started. Either way, sources are stating that T.O. is “very close” to signing a contract with the AFC North division winners of last year.
Lindsay Lohan gets more jail time, but this time by Hustler?
If she sued over the E*Trade commercial where a baby named “Lindsay” was portrayed as a “milk-a-holic”, I surely anticipate she will sue over this one. Except she will likely win. Silly Hustler, not getting approval..
It was only a matter of time and Hustler beat everyone to the punch with “Lindsay Goes to Jail”, a Lohan-themed adult film starring LiLo look-alike Scarlett Fay.
It reporteldy features Lindsay sexily flirting with a male judge, getting freaky in prison, and finally befriending a hot female corrections officer.
I wonder how much Lindsay will get paid through the courts from Hustler for this one.
Silver/Chrome Xbox 360 Slim!
While I can’t say that I am *ducks behind his desk* crazy about *keeps hiding* Halo games, I am all of the sudden intrigued. As I have mentioned before, the new Xbox 360 slim is damn sexy.
And now comes, instead of the sleek black look, a shiny silver version! Limited edition consoles are sold in the Halo Reach bundle for $400, including the game and two controllers and a headset.It’s actually not too bad of a deal, $100 additional for a $60 game, a $40-ish controller, and a $10-20 headset, plus the sweet look of a redesigned new Xbox 360, still the 250gb size.
One of the most popular video games on any console is the Halo franchise. More people play Halo alone on the Xbox Live network than those that play all other games combined online on the PS3. With the massive number of fans and players for Halo titles, a new launch in the franchise is huge for Microsoft and the publisher of the game Bungie.
The console will have custom Halo: Reach wireless controllers. The console will be silver and have a Halo design theme. The bundle also included a standard edition copy of Halo: Reach, a token for the limited edition Halo: Reach Limited Edition Elite armor set, and a wires Halo: Reach headset.
There is another very cool feature to the Xbox 360 console included in the bundle other than the color and theme. The console will feature sound effects from the Halo universe. Inside the console are a 250GB HDD, 802.lln Wi-Fi, and all the features of the newly unveiled Xbox 360. The price for the bundle is $399.
