If you like
Terrell Owens because he's Terrell Owens, not because any of your favorite teams were the 49ers, Eagles or Cowboys, he wants you to join his fan club. That's right, the T.O. Fan Club! For $59.00 you'll get a Terrell Owens hat, some T.O. cups, a free download of his song 'I'm Back' (which you can get for free
here ) and a chance to win two roundtrip tickets to Dallas to watch a game and meet T.O. afterwards.
I guess it isn’t to bad considering that a portion of your $59 will go to the Terrell Owens Foundation and other Alzheimer research. Still though, some of the other things for sale on the website, like $3.99 to download that cheesy T.O. song, is kind of extreme.

Serena Gets Down With Bernie MacIt’s a basic assumption that
Serena Williams will do something in Hollywood when she pulls out of a tournament. Yup, Serena pulled out of the Nasdaq-100 Open last month citing an injury to her knee and ankle. So once again, while she was recuperating, Williams found time to make a guest appearance in this week’s episode of
Bernie Mac.Williams plays an expert on sibling rivalry and advises Bernie on a certain situation taking place in his household. Williams has appeared previously on “ER”, “My Wife & Kids”, “Street Time”, “Law & Order: SVU”, “Hair Show”, and “The Division”. Somehow, some of those appearances have come when she opted out of a tournament. Do we smell a career change coming? She hasn’t played since January ya’ll and is currently ranked 58th.
Tiki Barber Is For The Kids, Not PrisonersLast week New York Giants running back
Tiki Barber stopped in at PS 59 in the Bronx to hang out with some kids and tell them to drink milk. Barber teamed with the American Dairy Association to promote nutrition education and obesity awareness for school age children.
“I'm really just here to bring the word about nutritional education,” Barber told hotsaucesports.com’s Alicia Marie. “And to help to tell the kids that it's fun to care about nutrition and exercise and to do the things that keep you healthy so that down the line you are not plagued by the problems of obesity and being overweight and the health complications that come with that.”
Barber has been getting around lately. He’s been a guest host on FOX’s morning show Fox & Friends commenting on illegal immigration and Abu Ghraib detainees. Last month he went to a fundraiser and encouraged kids to believe themselves and a few days later Barber was at The College of New Jersey and spoke out against sexual violence. Sounds like someone is on a campaign trail. Is he thinking about another career as well?
Hines Ward Does Korea ProudThis week, Steelers wide receiver and Super Bowl MVP
Hines Ward went to the place of his birth – South Korea. When he arrived in Seoul with his mother hundreds of reporters and photographers greeted them as they stepped off the plane at Inchon Airport.
Apparently South Koreans had no idea who Hines Ward was before February 5. But after the Steelers won the championship and Ward was named MVP, his image was splashed across all of Korea along with the story about his move from the country to the U.S., to his father leaving his mother and his mother’s struggle to raise him. Their story made them Korean heroes.
Hines, his mother and their entourage got three loaner limos from a local automaker; a hotel hooked them up with their most luxurious suites and a fashion spot showered them with some new gear. Did Pittsburgh even try to hook up Ward and moms like that?
