Report: Owens fires publicist Etheredge

Under normal circumstances, a professional athlete firing his publicist would not warrant publicizing.

But when the athlete is Terrell Owens, and the publicist is Kim Etheredge, well, it's certainly noteworthy.

The well-publicized Dallas Cowboys receiver, who apparently distanced himself from Etheredge following his September hospitalization for an accidental overdose from prescription painkillers, has fired her, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Tuesday.

2007 Goals and Resolutions

They say that when you set your goals it's important to write them down...at least Rachel always says that and I believe what she tells me to believe. So, that leads me to share with all of our loyal Bullpen readers, my 2007 goals and resolutions.

1. Work out 4 days a week
2. Take lunch to work to save money
3. Resod the lawn and re-landscape
4. Make my work revenue goal
5. Paint and decorate the office, kitchen, guest bathroom and guest bedroom.
6. Redesign the kitchen

Now that I wrote it down and the millions of readers out there know my goals, then I expect you all to hold me accountable. Let's hear from you all...what are your 2007 goals?

The Birth of a Living Legend

Joining Byrne’s new venture were some key staffers from the slo-pitch league. Byrne’s right-hand man was David S. Almstead, a business major from Ohio Wesleyan who sold insurance to help put himself through college. Byrne met Almstead when the young man tried out for a kicker position with the Fire. Driving away from the field, Byrne saw one of the hopefuls walking along the road and offered a lift back to the hotel. No, thanks, Almstead declined pleasantly, he’d like to walk. “It was five miles!” Byrne exclaims. He liked Almstead’s gumption, and when Byrne needed help with a professional softball league, he gave Almstead the job. Byrne now tapped Almstead again to help run his new basketball league.

We Are Marshall

I went to watch "We Are Marshall" this weekend. Overall, great movie even though it came in number 3 at the Box Office opening weekend. From what I've heard of Jack Lengyel and only meeting him a few times, I think Matthew McConaughey did a great job of portraying him. It definitely had me wiping my face throughout the whole movie (but probably not for some of you in that bullpen).

I'd rate it 3 out of 5 stars. Two enthusiastic Borat thumbs up!
