The Buzz: A Day in the Life

Posted to: Sports

TERRELL OWENS now says he was only kidding, but his rant this week that Jessica Simpson was a distraction for Tony Romo made her seem like the Yoko Ono of the Cowboys (and when it comes to distractions, T.O. is an expert).

The Buzz thinks Simpson should let it be. But he hears she's in the studio laying down tracks for a new single - "The Ballad of Jess and Romo." Here's sneak preview:

 

We made a lightning trip home for Thanksgiving

Then the 'Boys lost a big game

The newspapers said

"She's gone to his head

"Our QB looked pretty lame"

 

You know it ain't easy

You know how hard it can be

The way things are going

They're gonna crucify me

Cy-onara?

Curt Schilling wrote on his blog this week that Roger Clemens should give up the four Cy Young Awards he has won since 1997 if he can't clear his name of allegations of using performance-enhancing drugs.

Of course, that would still leave Clemens with three Cy Youngs. Which - to put it curtly - is exactly three more than Schilling has won.

 

 

 

Just perfect

The wrestlers at Brandon High School in Tampa, Fla., will be the subject of an ESPN documentary next year. After all, they haven't lost a match in 34 years. That's 451 in a row.

Kinda makes the Patriots' quest to go 19-0 seem pretty unimpressive, doesn't it?

 

 

 

Comic relief

Pete Rose, of all people, says players who use steroids and other performance-enhancing drugs are "making a mockery" of baseball.

Rose made his comments in an interview with Dennis Miller. Which is appropriate, since they're both clowns.

 

 

 

Squeaky wheel gets the grease?

We couldn't help noticing that Isle of Wight Academy's Rusty Brake made the all-state football team for private schools on offense and defense.

It's no wonder. With a name like that, he must have been hard to stop.

 

 

 

Mute math

Alex Rodriguez and Scott Boras aren't on speaking terms, the slugger said in an interview on "60 Minutes" that aired Sunday. However, if talks resume, Boras wants 15 percent of the words exchanged. A-Rod, acting as his own agent, managed to negotiate a $275 million contract with the Yankees, so maybe silence is golden.
