Enjoy! <\/p>\n
We enter the weekend with some quirky news from the NFL.<\/p>\n
NFL news: Jimmy Johnson voted off\u00a0Survivor; <\/em>Chad Ochocinco cereal typo sends callers to sex line<\/strong><\/p>\n Former Dallas Cowboys head coach Jimmy Johnson is eliminated from\u00a0Survivor. <\/em>The Super Bowl champion was eliminated on this past Wednesday\u2019s episode. Though he took on a leadership role and appeared well-liked, too many of his \u201cOlder Tribe\u201d teammates were threatened by his celebrity. After getting the boot, Johnson said being on\u00a0Survivor <\/em>was the hardest thing he\u2019s ever done.<\/p>\n Chad Ochocinco\u2019s cereal boxes have been recalled because of a rather hilarious typo. The phone number listed on the boxes is supposed to connect callers to Feed the Children, the charity that receives proceeds from Chad\u2019s cereal sales. However, the prefix is entered incorrectly on the box; instead of the charity, it takes callers to a phone sex line. The company that made the boxes, PLB Sports Inc., is working hard to correct the problem.<\/p>\n Quick injury update: of all the banged up running backs, Knowshon Moreno (hamstring) and Steven Jackson (groin) seem least likely to play whereas Ray Rice, Jahvid Best and Pierre Thomas look like they\u2019ll play through pain. All-world cornerback Darrelle Revis (hamstring) won\u2019t suit up for the Jets this week. It\u2019s not like they need him against the Bills anyway. <\/p>\n MLB news: Justin Morneau out for at least ALDS; Josh Hamilton returns to Ranger lineup<\/strong><\/p>\n For Twins fans optimistic that slugger Justin Morneau will return in time for the American League Division Series \u2013 don\u2019t be. The big fella\u2019s concussion has kept him out since July 7. He\u2019s taking batting practice now and reports that his symptoms are finally starting to improve, so he\u2019s holding out hope for an ALCS return should the Twinkies make it there. They did go 47-23 after the All-Star break without Morneau, so they just might advance past the ALDS.<\/p>\n The Texas Rangers have much better news. Josh Hamilton, out since September 4 with broken ribs, is set to return tonight and play six innings in the outfield. He\u2019ll DH on Saturday and play the outfield again on Sunday as the Rangers try to get their MVP candidate slugger ready for the postseason.<\/p>\n NBA news: Jamal Mashburn owns 71 restaurants<\/strong><\/p>\n Remember Jamal Mashburn? Sort of, right? He had a solid career, bouncing around with Dallas, Miami, Charlotte and so on, averaging over 19 points for 13 seasons and making the All-Star team in 2003.<\/p>\n But he wasn\u2019t finished making his mark on the world. According to a story by Yahoo!, Mashburn has been busy since 2006. Busy buying a million friggin\u2019 restaurants. He owns 34 Outback steakhouses, 37 Papa John\u2019s pizzerias, some Dunkin\u2019 Donuts and a pile o\u2019 car dealerships. That\u2019s at least 71 restaurants to the man\u2019s name. Nice work.<\/p>\n NHL news: Oilers waive Sheldon Souray<\/strong><\/p>\n In all likelihood, defenseman Sheldon Souray and his booming shot won\u2019t contribute to the Edmonton Oilers ever again. After exploring trade options with him all summer, the Oilers have placed him on waivers. If no one claims him and his $5.4-million salary, Edmonton can send him to the minors. They can then bring him back-up on re-entry waivers so that any claiming team only has to pay half his salary.<\/p>\n Comments are welcome below!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong> Sports water cooler headlines and sports gossip for Friday October 1st, 2010.
