Pro Football Hall of Fame quarterback Warren Moon was charged this week with driving under the influence, stemming from a traffic stop in late December. It's his second such charge in less than a year. I know what you're thinking...can this be true? Warren Moon never won a big game in the NFL and he's in the Hall of Fame? His career passer rating is 81.1. His blood alcohol content is approaching that same number. Moon was once arrested for assault after chasing his wife thru their neighborhood, and was known to have many affairs. So the man did prove he could dominate women and CFL defenses.

WNYW New York held a contest, soliciting submissions of photographs that show how loyal fans are to the football Giants. Joe Gannascoli, the man who played Vito Spatafore on The Sopranos, submitted a picture of he and his wife holding their dog, which they had, in support of the Giants, dyed blue. You can't make this stuff up; you have to see the pictures. At least they left his crotch white. That way, his tongue doesn't turn blue. The
Giants always find new and creative ways to lose big games. So paint
the animals blue, make a naked human sacrifice before a giant owl if
you feel so inclined, but in the end it won’t matter.

An
arbitrator has ruled for the Philadelphia Eagles in their case against
Terrell Owens, meaning the Cowboys wide receiver owes his former team
nearly $800,000 in signing bonus money, the Philadelphia Inquirer
reported. That's simply walking-around money for T.O. and nothing more.
It just means he can't go "make it rain" with Pacman Jones at the strip
club.

The
Super Bowl is coming up this Sunday, of course, and I am always a
little depressed after that game is over. It leaves an empty void in
the potato chip-stuffed stomach of a football fanatic. But this year,
it means more than most when the final tick falls off the clock. It
means the end of NBX as we know it. Definitely going to miss NBX. I think we are all in the denial stage right now. It reminds me of that TV show that ESPN produced for a season, called "Playmakers."
Anybody remember that show, and how that ended? The featured pro team
was watching a game between two other teams, with their personal spot
in the playoffs weighing in the balance. And the team they needed to
win...well, they lost at the buzzer...fade to black...and that was the
end of the episode, the season and the entire show's run. But I can't
complain too much. It's been great to use NBX as an escape from the
real world. It's been great to make new friends here. It's been great
to showcase my writing. You all can reach me at mrtruth247@yahoo.com.

But not so fast, my friends. All is not lost just yet. The powers that be at NBX are looking to continue
the site as a private, invitation only site open to a select few of our
most loyal players. Additional new accounts would be evaluated on a
case by case basis. I
am being told that there would be no prize money. This obviously would
help them reduce their expenses in a very direct way, but also save
admin costs. If anyone would like to donate prizes in exchange for the
exposure and obvious goodwill generated among a small band of players,
they would be happy to help facilitate that. So that's the tease...look
for more details to follow shortly, on behalf of Linda and the NBX
Staff. But, regardless, we need keep in touch. Sports is the great
fantasy world for the working stiffs. And that's the truth.

Good Luck and God Bless,

Mr. Truth
