By now, you all should have seen the movie Anchorman. And if you haven’t, if you go do so now, no one will get hurt.

But if you’re all familiar with the scene where someone plays with the teleprompter telling Ron to tell San Diego, to well, go do “something” to themselves, all hades breaks loose in the newsroom.

Well, Ernie Johnson of TNT sports did a similar thing to Hall Famer Charles Barkley on their TNT show. During a promo for T-Mobile, he got Charles to fall for the “I’m gonna write something on the teleprompter and make you read it” joke. Sucker. Check out the funny clip.

“You stay classy San Diego.”

We’ve seen some great Sportscenter highlights throughout our time that showcase buzzer beaters, but this one is truly in a class of its own. Everything seemed to fall into place perfectly for number 21. Whoever didn’t box that guy out should be benched for the rest of the season!  That’s right tall dude in yellow, I’m talking to you! Way to just stand there and be a spectator. “Team player.”

Marvin Harrison has been getting questioned recently for a shooting that occurred just outside his car wash and garage in Philadelphia. I didn’t really say much about this because for one: it was all over the news anyways. And two: the police said the questioning was just routine since it was his car wash and he wasn’t a suspect. They were interviewing a lot of people. And seeing how it’s Marvin Harrison, I didn’t think that he could be involved in such a ridiculous crime.

Well, it looks like the scenario may have changed slightly.

The police are now saying that six of the bullet casings found at the scene of the April 29th shooting belong to Harrison. The bullets were apparently fired from a gun owned by Harrison.

Harrison’s representative have said that he was not present during the shooting and that his gun was not involved, while his attorney has chosen not to release a comment.

I really hope that Harrison played no part in this shooting. For a player of his caliber and the way he has held himself on and off the field up until this incident has always been positive. I expect something like this from Pacman Jones. But Harrison? Never in a million years.

If you’ve been watching the NBA playoffs, then you are sure to have seen the split screen commercials that feature two superstars in the NBA playoffs. But this nicely done commercial features the Manning brothers, Peyton and Eli, speaking out on trying to figure out how to gain the love of their father Archie.

Someone’s got daddy issues.

• Roger Clemens Linked to John Daly’s Ex, Paulette Dean Daly
  

And the hits just keep on coming for Roger Clemens.

No he hasn’t resurrected his now questionable baseball career, but reports have now surfaced that the Rocket had a romantic relationship with the ex-wife of pro golfer John Daly, Paulette Dean Daly. This report comes just days after Clemens was tied to a romantic relationship with country singer Mindy McCready.

According to the New York Daily News, Clemens arranged trips for Daly to Anaheim Stadium to watch him pitch against the Angels while he was playing for the New York Yankees. In addition to the Anaheim trips, he was also to have spent some time with Daly in Palm Springs, California.

When asked to comment about whether her relationship with Clemens was romantic, Daly is quoted saying, “You know what, I’m really uncomfortable talking about this. I’m just going to have to say, ‘No comment.”

For a guy who stayed relatively quiet and away from controversy his entire career, Clemens’ reputation as both a player, husband and friend have now all been thrown under the bus. First the steroid allegations and now his romantic links to McCready and Daly. What’s next? He clubbed a baby seal while dumping motor oil into the Chesapeake Bay while he played for the Red Sox?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen this side to Peyton Manning before. The quarterback apparently had some miscommunication with his lineman about who should be calling the plays in the huddle. And you gotta give the man a little respect for getting up in his teammates’ faces like a quarterback should.

But at the same time, it’s a little hard to take him seriously when he’s his voice his squeaking like a 14-year-old boy during puberty.

That’s what the Philadelphia Eagles have been screaming to Terrell Owens and now they have taken the matter to the U.S. District Court.

Owens lost in arbitration earlier this year, where he was ordered to repay $1.7 million in bonus money the team paid him during the 2004 and 2005 seasons. Apparently Owens still has about $770,000 to repay or to be exact, $769,117.

Remember a while back Owens trademarked the phrase, “I Love Me Some Me”? Well, the Eagles want some of you too Owens. All $770,000 of you. I don’t see what the hold up is. You should have some money left over from the 3-year, $25 million contract you signed with the Dallas Cowboys.
