Dallas Cowboys used to be “America’s Team” in the 90’s.Sunday’s were filled with Troy Aikman and Emmitt Smith.The early 2000’s were filled with many disappointment and mistakes, from the infamous Tony Uh-Oh moments to that popcorn tossing maniac Terrell Owens.But in 2009 it seems like the Dallas Cowboy’s have again started to become America’s team.But it certainly does seem like they’re buying our affection.Spending 650 million on a brand new stadium that’s hosts to the largest 1080p HDTV T.V.Only three electricians were electrocuted during installation, but Jerry approves!Over the past couple years the only news from the Cowboys came from their players social lives.You had Tony Uh-Oh dating Jessica Simpson to Pac Man Jones’ late night fun.The team was even showcased on HBO’s Hard Knocks.The Cowboys to me feel like a lot like the Yankees, but without the trophies.Yeah they’re ahead at halftime but their smiles will be short lived.Within weeks the stadium will be empty and the only ones still trying will be the Texas residents, paying for it to sit idly.
ESPN announced today that the network will be broadcasting major sporting events in 3D. World Cup fans have the privilege of getting to watch the first broadcast when South Africa takes on Mexico in the June 11th opener. In addition to the opener there will be up to 25 other World Cup games broadcast on the new ESPN 3D network. It doesn’t stop with soccer. The X games, 2011 BCS National Championship Game, and many more games to be added to the lineup in the near future.
That’s right, The Kid is coming back for another year with the M’s in a deal to be announced shortly, according to espn.com.
The deal will be very similar to his 2009 contract of $2m guaranteed and included incentives that saw Griffey earn $3.15m total. The deal is supposed to be announced before the GMs meeting wraps up in Chicago Wednesday. Stay tuned…
FacePalmed News for 11/03/09
This edition is a special double edition of FacePalm News.
If every pass a quarterback attempts falls to the ground incomplete, his QB rating is 39.6. TMR reports Derek Anderson’s quarterback rating is currently 36.2. How bad is Brady Quinn that he cannot crack the starting lineup? Is he worse than the complete ineptness that is Derek Anderson? Derek Anderson…………consider yourself FacePalmed
The New Orleans Saints have returned five interceptions for touchdowns. The Browns have three passing touchdowns, the Lions have passed for four, and the Raiders have passed for two touchdowns. The Browns, Lions, and Raiders have had eight different players attempt a pass. Combined these eight guys have only been able to thrown four more touchdowns than Saints defensive players have intercepted and ran back for touchdowns. The ruhtards throwing passes for the Browns, Lions, and Raiders……..consider yourself FacePalmed.
Today’s lesson, kids, is all about fundamentals. When playing defense and making an open field tackle, you have to stay low, square up, put your facemask in the ball carrier’s chest, and drive the ball carrier into the ground. This is the fundamentals of tackling. Oh, and it helps if the guy you are trying to tackle is not named Adrian Peterson. Because if he is, and your name is William Gay, then you just got featured in a punk out article on the front of OneSeasonNation.com
Brett Favre and the Vikings will defend their home turf next Monday night in Minnesota as the Packers come to town. This will be one you definitely don’t want to miss, and the media build up to this during the upcoming week will be nauseating, you can count on that. How do you think this game turns out? It’s hard not to root for the 3-0 Vikings! Unless you live in Wisconsin. (Sorry Meno, Slubs, Beeps, Chjopl, and Huckackle!)

You are about to be bombarded with stories, images, and media coverage of this buxom beauty. She is an 18 year old golf goddess who’s cup size is equally as big as her game. She is currently going to Wake Forest, and wil be playing in LPGA events. Uncle Tiger went to Stanford. Remember where yous saw her first. We’ll get her entered into the new OSN babes contest that is starting up in the forums.
Well, at first, Shaq had Penny. Then he had Kobe. Then he had D. Wade. Then he had Steve Nash. Now…he’s got Lebron. It’s being reported tonight that Shaq has been traded to Cleveland for Ben Wallace, some other scrubs, and some cash. Now Cleveland has a presence in the middle to at least stand in front of Dwight Howard in the playoffs next year. What are your thoughts? You think this puts Cleveland over the hump?
Whether you like the Red Sox or not, you gotta admit, they got kick ass fans. OSN will be out in full force for the 4th of July in Boston. Hitting the bars Friday night, watching the Mariners/Red Sox at Fenway Saturday Night (haha DJ), and nursing hangovers Sunday. We will have quite a mob gathered for the festivities! Rumors are that Jewcer and/or SurfingOneFour may make an appearance in Beantown as well. We’d love to see all of you who are close to the area! Come have a beer w/ the OSN party!
Derrick Rose’s luck continues to run out. First, months back, he is shat on by The Brett. Then Sdog removes Rose as is avatar in the OSN forums, and OSN Arcade. And now this.
The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that Derrick Rose had his high school transcript altered to change a D to a C before it was sent to college. This news comes after it was reported that Rose had a stand-in take his SAT test.
Here is an excerpt of the article.
Someone with access to Derrick Rose’s academic records at Simeon High School changed a D to a C, boosting the future Bulls Rookie of the Year’s transcript for college, sources told the Chicago Sun-Times today.
Who altered the records in the grade-changing scandal remains a mystery that the Chicago Public Schools has been unable to solve.
Another not so shocking revelation in the NBA world. Expect Rose to take a big hit in the public’s eye and be scrutinized heavily. Derrick Rose has a Market Cap of $5470 on OneSeason with 924 outstanding shares. Expect his SOI to not have as quick of a rise as his peers during the next swing up, due to the black eye his reputation has now.
I am sad to bring this up, but the underaged female tennis star that we have all come to love is getting her biggest assets reduced according to SPORTSbyBROOKS.com. They provided a quote from my once favorite female athlete and she clearly needs to reorganize her priorities in life. “Inconvenience me, it’s very hard with them.It’s a weight in addition to confound me speed response. I can not go on very well.”
Tennis isn’t going to get this girl anywhere in life, but those things on her chest could have carried her at least through her late 20’s. Here’s to what could have been.
Josh Hamilton Shows his support for the"OneSeason" concept. (You can't see but he's also wearing skates and baggy shorts in this photo)
The comeback, feelgood story of recent times in MLB is set to be released into the trading community on Friday. The tattooed wonder kid Josh Hamiltion was IPO’d Thursday evening at approximately 5:22PM PST. If you haven’t read the story on this guy. I highly recommend it. His market cap will be EXTREMELY low. Possibly one of the lowest we’ve seen in awhile. He will be a good SOI for someone to pounce on, and buy a huge stake in, for a cheap price. If Hamilton can put together a string of years like he did last year, he’ll belong up there w/ the names Wright, AROD, and Pujols.
For the third time in their History (Danny Manning ‘88, Michael Olowokandi ‘98) The LA Clippers have landed the number 1 pick in the NBA Draft. They had a 17.7% chance of landing the number 1 pick. They will take Blake Griffin. Here is how the rest of the lottery shook out. How do you feel about where YOUR team landed? Sacramento had the best odds (25%) of getting the number 1 pick, but they fell to 4th.
Memphis Grizzlies #2
Oklahoma City Thunder (gag, GFYS Thunder Owners) #3
Zimmerman went 0-3 today with 2 walks and 1 run scored. His team won. One of the walks was intentional. OSN tracked this hit streak from the beginning. Thanks Durshar! It was a great ride for this great player who just recently signed a huge contract extension with the Nationals. Durshar also let OSN know that ZImmerman is only the 42nd player ever to hit in 30 straight games in the same season. Any up for sending Zimmerman up the IPO request list? Here is the button to vote if you choose!
