The biggest proponent of obesity is the Internet. We just don’t want to admit it.

The forces in cyberspace have formed galactic alliance to keep our fat asses glued to our seats, and our eyes to our computer screens, so we won’t have to move calf muscles to buy what stuff we want and book services that we need.

Three months ago Ebay signed a deal with Yahoo to expand its reach among US online users. The two Internet giants was to work together in areas of search and graphical advertising, online payments, a co-branded toolbar, and the opportunity to explore “click-to-call” functionality.

Today, Ebay signed another deal with Yahoo’s prime competitor, Google.

Basically the same banana but this time targetting non-US users. The new partners announced an advertising partnership Monday that aims to put buyers in touch with a wider variety of sellers, such as the neighborhood exterminator, math tutor or roofer. Under the arrangement, Google would provide search results whenever an eBay member typed in a search term that failed to find any matches on eBay’s vast auction site.

Of course, Ebay risk the chance of its users going out of the site into…

After reading about how the Dallas Cowboys slapped a $9,500 fine on Terrell Owens, apparently, the guy has an excuse.

Terrell Owens claims that he overslept. That’s about it.

C’mon Mr. Owens, who ya’ kidding? That’s just about one of the lamest excuse ever blurted by an employee who just doesn’t feel like coming to work that day.

I know I used the exactly same lame excuse when the Pistons played the Cavaliers during the last NBA Playoffs but in Terrell Owens case, he’s been using lame excuses time and time again that he should have waaay better ones than this shit.

Oh yeah, T.O. got a little defensive as well, saying that he’s not sending a message to his bosses, test his boundaries or anything else his critics and detractors might, and probably are thinking.

Oh yeah, in spite of the $9,500 fine, Terrell Owens says the incident has the possibility of happening again. Jeez… What did the Dallas Cowboys got themselves into now huh?

‘’I think everybody has overslept, you know, once or twice in their life,'’ Terrell Owens said. T.O. looked more amused than angry that a fuss is being made over something that’s happened to him before, though…

The growth of race track casinos, or racinos, is inevitable. But not a welcomed one for many.

Horse racing and casino gaming, though both in the category of gambling, are strange bedfellows. Take for example the issue of the pending Anti-Online Gambling Bill. Our highly intellectual lawmakers insists that online casino gambling is illegal, not to metion immoral depending the level of your faith to the morals of society.

But betting on horse racing online is not included in the provisions. Main reason put forward is that horse racing is a sort of tradition with historical roots.

Plus we see our politicians waving their hats during horse races while they enter special entrances when going into casinos. Not that we’ve seen them do that, we’re just not stupid.

Now, many race tracks are complaining that they’re losing money because state officials would not allow them to install slot machines, which are…

For the sake of Michael Schumacher and the rest of Ferrari, let’s hope it won’t go down the drain.

After a golden opportunity wasted in Hungary, where Michael Schumacher had the guaranteed championship points with Fernando Alonso of Renault already retired only to retire himself with just a couple of laps to go, it was an entirely different story at the 2006 Turkish Grand Prix.

Yup, with Ferrari driver no.2 Felipe Massa ending up at the podium’s top spot and last year’s inaugural Turkish GP winner Kimi Raikkonen having an early retirement, it was an ENTIRELY different story alright.

But none compares to what Schumi found out.

After wasting an already guaranteed valuable championship points in Hungary, Michael Schumacher found out that Fernando Alonso and Renault are back to form and are ready to fend off the streaking German from overtaking the Spaniard in this season’s race for the F1 drivers championship.

The result? Fernando Alonso finished with a strong second place to Felipe Massa’s…

Yep, apparently, the fag… er… ‘’sexually confu…'’ er… ‘’homosexual'’ is bored.

And boy, if a homo like Elton John is bored then you must know better and get the hell outta’ his sights. Especially your tight little butt hole. He he…

Yep, Elton John is bored. And now, he has announced that he is planning to record… get this, a hip-hop album. Jeez… It’s like hearing Pamela Anderson say she’ll be keeping her top on. Possible but highly unlikely.

Mr. Broadway, Sir Elton John himself, hopes to do a hip-hop album and collaborate with the top stars of the rap industry today. Guys like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kanye West and of course, his favorite, which happens to be a self-confessed homophobic, well, in his songs at least, Eminem.

Well, his FIRST and ONLY experience with rap is his unforgettable performance with Eminem when they sang ‘’Stan'’ at the 2001 Grammy Awards. Since then, he just can’t stop talking about Mr. Slim Shady.

‘’From the start, I’ve always admired Eminem’s thinking,'’ Elton John said.

‘’That’s the reason I wanted to appear on the Grammys with him when I was…'’

September is here and that means NFL Football is ready to go crazy once again.

So far, some NFL Football teams are enjoying fast starts, well, as far as the NFL preseason is concerned, with their offseason acquisitions. Others remain tough even without the opportunity of using some of the biggest names the free agency market laid out.

As of this writing, the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants, the Carolina Panthers and the Oakland Raiders are perfect, with the latter, (a personal favorite of mine) doing one better with an unblemished 4-0 undefeated streak.

With that said, can these teams do the same once the NFL Football regular season kicks off? Who among these teams will have the early 1-2-3 win streak that saw some of football’s worse teams last season, like the Cincinnati Bengals, claw their way from obscurity to what may have been one of the best seasons the franchise has ever had?

Well, the Dallas Cowboys are doing surprisingly well even without this jackass…

He he… Yep, what else is new?

When the Dallas Cowboys acquired Terrell Owens to go side by side with veteran quarterback Drew Bledsoe, many thought T.O. would make the most out of this new ‘’lease in life'’ so to speak.

Yep, even Owens himself, in a sick and twisted kind of way, thought he would be able to start anew with a new quarterback by his side and a new football family accepting him despite everything he has done in Philadelphia.

I guess being a dumb sonuvabitch is just too sweet for Mr. Owens to turn away from eh?

A $9,500 fine from the Dallas Cowboys was slapped at Terrell Owens for missing a team meeting, (we’re talking about T.O. here, whaddaya’ guys expect?) missing a rehabilitation session and being late to an offensive meeting.

He he… Classic Terrell Owens.

Yup, it was suppose to be the final preparation day for the Dallas Cowboys before they dance with the…

For decades, the world’s no. 1 beer-brewing city was not in Germany or Belgium but in Wisconsin.

That city was Milwaukee, which now ranks #1 in the 2006 Forbes list of America’s Drunkest Cities. To come up with this list, Forbes did a survey on the 35 largest US cities in terms of state laws, drinkers, heavy drinkers, binge drinkers, and alcoholism.

As if you didn’t know, the United States has an undeniable drinking culture. We drink at spring break, over baseball matches, in poker when it’s best to stay sober. Somebody mentions tips on NFL football and we think they mean tipping the bartender during a game. We glug on when our team wins, or loses, or isn’t even playing.

Forbes’ Top 10 America’s Drunkest Cities

#1 Milwaukee *ranked no. 1 in both drinkers and binge drinkers
#2 Minneapolis – St. Paul *no. 3 in binge drinkers
#3 Columbus *no. 2 in heavy drinkers
#4 Boston *no. 1 in state laws
#5 Austin *no. 3 in state laws
#6 Chicago *no. 5 in both state laws and binge drinkers
#7 Cleveland *no. 2 in alcoholism
#8 Pittsburgh *no. 2 in binge drinkers
#9 Philadelphia *no. 4 in both state laws and heavy drinkers
#10 Providence *no. 2 in state laws

Milwaukee, christened as The Brew City and ‘the nation’s watering hole‘, has…

The Iowa Hawkeyes doesn’t need this coming to the brand new NCAA College Football season.

Iowa Hawkeyes defensive end Kenny Iwebema and wide receiver Herb Grigsby were suspended for their NCAA College Football season opener against Montana on September 2.

Kenny Iwebema already missed the first week of practice because of ‘’personal issues.'’ Well, that is according to the Iowa Hawkeyes head coach Kirk Ferentz anyway. Coach Kirk Ferentz issued a statement and it made no further comment on the suspensions sanctioned to its players.

Kenny Iwebema, a 6-foot-4, 270-pound junior, is considered one of the nation’s top defensive linemen. He is on the preseason watch list for the Ted Hendricks Defensive End of the Year Award after having seven sacks in 2005.

Herb Grigsby, also a junior, is expected to play a major role in Iowa’s offense this season. He caught 25 passes last season for 335 yards and three touchdowns in a backup role.

STILL, enthusiasm for Iowa football continues at a high level. It was announced…

Um… Didn’t he retired already?

He he… Yep, the saga surrounding Jerry Rice finally took a ‘’respectable ending'’ when he signed a one-day contract with the San Francisco 49ers only to retire where it all began.

San Francisco.

Jerry Rice spent his favorite days as a professional NFL Football player on the green practice fields next to the railroad tracks that run behind the San Francisco 49ers’ training complex. Here, one Jerry Rice honed his uncanny skill of catching a football in midair, in almost improbable situations. Yep, it is here where one Jerry Rice became a legend. Or started becoming one.

‘’I would like to put the uniform on and run on that football field, but I think it’s time to move on,'’ Jerry Rice said as he pointed to the football field where the current San Francisco 49ers were practicing.

‘’I feel welcome here. I feel like this is my home, and this is something I’ll never forget,'’ he added.

Jerry Rice already announced his retirement as a part of the Denver Broncos, a team that probably didn’t recognize the worth a Jerry Rice is to NFL Football. And to think he left the Silver and Black…
