A wacky look at some sports headlines...

Arizona Cardinals quarterback Matt Leinart is being shopped around as he has presumably lost his starting job to Derek Anderson.   Experts say Leinart is the biggest disappointment to come out of southern California since the Tonight Show with Conan O'Brien.


Leinart, the 10th pick in the first round by the Cardinals in 2006, never lived up to the hype he generated at USC.  Luckily for Leinart though, he can never be the most infamous player to come from USC. That is, unless he murders his ex-wife and her boyfriend.


Leinart is upset at losing his starter's role and does not feel he was given a fair shot this preseason.  Leinart says he was rushed and had no protection, ironically the same two reasons why he had a kid out of wedlock



In anticipation of the season-opener against the New England Patriots on Sept. 12 at Gillette Stadium, Ochocinco is already planning his touchdown celebration. "If I am able to score Week 1 in New England, I will be taking the Minutemen rifle and firing as they do when the Pats score," he wrote on Twitter.  This came as great news to Commissioner Roger Goodell, because if there is one image the NFL is hoping to cultivate its PLAYERS AND GUNS.



Manny Ramirez was put on waivers and claimed by the Chicago White Sox.  Ramirez said he is looking forward to playing in Chicago as he has "always been a fan of Canada."




Former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett has signed with the UFL.  And in future news, the UFL has been robbed and assaulted




I saved the best one for last...


BYU is going independent in football after all. BYU says it is leaving the Mountain West Conference and will go independent in football while joining the West Coast Conference in all other sports in the 2011-2012 school year.  Originally, the WCC did not want BYU to join, but were worn down when BYU representatives kept riding their bikes to WCC officials' houses every weekend to ask to speak with them.




Hope you enjoyed the enough to chuckle...
