Who is Terez Owens?

Apparently I still have a lot to  learn about the world of online sports writing. I was just browsing the internet for news and I came across TerezOwens.com. The site pretty much takes the route of the popular PerezHilton.com making short blog posts about various people and topics. But unlike Perez Hilton, Terez Owens focuses on mainly sports related which is good for me because I could care less about what Kim Kardashian is doing.

The site has been around for quite a while and currently has an a Alez Rank of 33,257  I don't know why I have been ignorant to this site for this long.

Anyway I will definitely be bookmarking this site and check it out regularly. Any sports fanatic or sports writer should too.

The Rock Responds to CM Punk

Earlier today, Dwayne " The Rock" Johnson tweeted a message to CM Punk regarding comments Punk made about him on Monday Night Raw


CM Punk: it's simple business - The Rock is the main event at Wrestlemania cause it draws more money in one night, then u will in lifetime.




Wow harsh. With the spoilers from the July 4th taping of Raw mentioning how in fact CM Punk will compete at WWE Money in the Bank, it is hard to tell how much of Punk's promo was planned. Now the whole " more  X in one night than you in a lifetime" has been used by The Rock several times in the past so its unknown whether he took Punk's comments personally. Maybe this will lead to a future CM Punk/Rock showdown


CM Punk comments on Raw shocked the entire wrestling community. Everyone linked to wrestling has come out of the woodwork to make their comments on it. This by far has been the biggest story in wrestling in years, even bigger than The Rock's return in February.





Tiger Woods Promotes Japanese Muscle Rub In New Commercials

Looks like Tiger Woods is getting back on his feet. Woods has signed his first endorsement deal since the fallout in November 2009 which cost him deals with Gillette, Gatorade and several others valued at over $22 Million

The endorsement is for Vantelin, a cream produced by Kowa a Japanese company, for relieving muscle pain. A television commercial is set to start running in Japan in mid-July.

Red Sox pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka, who is out due to Tommy John's surgery on his elbow is also a spokesman for Vantelin

This looks like Tiger is starting to come back and get some normalcy in his life ( well normal for him) He's beginning to get favor from the public again.It looks like no more companies will drop him. Thank goodness, because I'm not ready for EA's Rory Mcllroy PGA Tour 2013.

Is Tiger Woods Going to Play in The British Open?.



Tiger Woods had a press conference today regarding his ACL injury and whether or not he will play in the British Open in July. Woods basically said it is unknown whether he will be able to play in the British Open as there is no timetable set for his return. He did ,however, say that he expects to play some time in 2011.

Other questions Woods was asked were whether he still thinks that he can catch Jack Nicklaus's record of 18 majors and whether he has passed the torch to Rory Mcllroy. Woods responded that he still has plenty of time to catch Jack as Nicklaus won his last major at 49 and he is only 35. Woods also commented on how he was impressed with Rory Mcllroy and that Mcllroy had a better swing than him at that age.

If Woods ever comes back to championship form, it will be interesting to see how Mcllroy will handle it.

CM Punk Gets Suspended For Telling the Truth


On  WWE.com, it was announced that superstar CM Punk has been indefinitely suspended after his comments following the main event on tonight's Raw.


The main event was John Cena vs R- Truth in a tables match. CM Punk came out and interfered costing Cena the match. After the match, Punk proceeded to give a shoot promo. For those of you unfamiliar with the inside workings of wrestling, a shoot promo is essentially when a wrestler breaks character and basically talks about think that breaks the illusion of pro wrestling being real.



CM Punk pretty much went off on Cena, the McMahons and the entire WWE. He mentioned how although he is a better wrestler than Cena in terms of actually wrestling ability that he never gets pushed like other superstars get pushed which is somewhat true. Keep in mind though that CM Punk is a two time world champion in the WWE which is more than a lot of wrestlers who are in or were in the WWE can say. Punk went on to mention that he never on any merchandise or doesn't get the outside promotion like the other superstars

Pretty much everything Punk had to say was true and I do agree with him. There are many superstars who never got the push they deserved in the WWE ( Shelton Benjamin) while others have gotten pushed to the moon like Hulk Hogan and John Cena who have limited wrestling skills. Both wrestlers get carried by their opponents in almost every match they are in. (which basically means the other wrestler does most of the work during the match) As a Rock fan, I did not like Punk's comments directed to The Rock. The Rock sucked up to no one its pretty much the other way around. McMahon had to beg The Rock to come back

Anyways. It is safe to say that McMahon was pretty pissed about what CM Punk said. Its a shame that WWE will be losing such a great performer. Maybe McMahon will listen to what Punk had to say and make some changes... I doubt it.

UPDATE: Many sources say that this was scripted. I doubt that but if it was what a great scripted ending.

Will There be a Toy Story 4?

According to Tom Hanks, who voiced the character Woody in the Toy Story trilogy, Pixar is already working on Toy Story 4. Initially it was thought that Toy Story 3 would be the end of the series but after  Toy Story 3 made over $1 Billion at the box office and winning 2 Academy Awards, I can see why Disney and Pixar would consider making another one.

Hopefully if it is in fact true that they are currently working on a sequel, Pixar won't get lazy and making a mediocre sequel like Dreamworks' Shrek Forever After or a real turd like Shrek the 3.  Pixar has yet to produce a  a flop. Back when Toy Story 2 was in production they actually started over near the end of production because they did not like how the first version turned out. So it is a safe bet that if there ever is a Toy Story 4 then it will be good.

Floyd Mayweather Being Sued For Putting a Hit on a Man

Floyd Mayweather a Thug?
Boxing Superstar Floyd Mayweather is being sued by Anthony Cliff for allegedly being assaulted by Mayweather's bodyguards outside the Palms Casino Result in Las Vegas in March.

Cliff says the incident began after Cliff spotted the boxer in the casino. Cliff wanted to take a picture with Mayweather refused and  Cliff was sent away by the bodyguards. Later that night. Cliff ran into him again and asked a person in Mayweather's entourage about a possible fight against Pacquiao. That is when Cliff alledges the assault took place.

What is with all the athletes getting people to beat people up. First, Shaquille O' Neal allegedly hired goons to kidnap a guy ,and now Mayweather is accuse of having his bodyguards beat up a guy. I think Shaq is big enough and Floyd is skilled enough to fight their own battles.

Terrell Owens's Career In Jeopardy?

According to Chris Mortensen of ESPN NFL wide receiver Terrell Owens has underwent surgery to repair an ACL tear that occurred recently.

It is unknown as to what caused the injury. Some source say Owens injured the knee taping his reailty show The T.O. Show while other sources say that he injured it during a normal workout. Owens has not come out to confirm or deny how or even if the injury occurred. Drew Rosenhaus and people close to Owens have denied the injury and the surgery.

If the injury and surgery actually occurred, then this will put a serious detriment on the 37 year old Terrell Owens  from being resigned by another team even after the decent year he had with the Bengals last season. Usually a ACL tear takes about  months to heal from so he will not be ready until November. For Owens sake, he might want this lockout to go into the season a bit.

Timberwolves Draft Pick Lies About Name and Age

Wow did the Minnesota Timberwolves get duped or what. Apparently according to SB Nation and several other sources. The Timberwolves second round draft pick Targuy Ngombo a 21 year from Qatar turned out to be Tanguy Alban Harrys Ngombo a 26 year old who is ineligible for the NBA Draft.

In the world of social media where a person cannot sneeze without it being documented. How in the world does a team scouting a player not catch this. I mean really. NBA scouts prepare for months for the draft and they this happens. Someone's going to get fired for this one. Hopefully its the same person who green lighted the Ricky Rubio draft pick. It'll be like killing two birds with one stone.

Cool NFL Player Stunts


This is a video or commercial which came out a few years back for NFL Fantasy Football. I don't know whether some of these are real ( I doubt it) but the videos are cool none the less. All I know is that they better settle this whole labor thing pretty soon. I don't want to resort to the watch the UFL this fall.
