The Dish: Misunderstood Speak Out
“I do have a problem when I don’t feel like I’m involved enough,” said Terrell Owens this week. “I know I can make a difference. That’s not me being arrogant. I just know what I bring to the table.”

“I don’t understand what the hubbub is about,” said Representative Mark Foley (R-Fla). “I find young boys to be nubile and delicious. That’s not me being perverted. I just know what I bring to the table.”
“I do believe the nation is overreacting,” said Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert. “Yes, I probably knew about problems in the congressional page program, and yes I didn’t want anyone to find out. That’s not me being fraudulent. I just know what I bring to the table. Which is preferably overcrowded with bratwurst.”
“I do think sanctions against North Korea would be unwarranted,” said North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il. “I want to own both a nuclear bomb and a Hollywood studio. That’s not me being megalomaniacal. I just know what I bring to the table. Which is located nowhere near the copies of Dr. Strangelove people keep sending me.”
“I don’t get why everyone is so concerned,” said Madonna. “I adopted a one-year-old African baby and pulled it out of its country to be primped and prodded by paparazzi its entire life, and probably indoctrinated into Kabala or Scientology or something. That’s not me being presumptuous or narcissistic. I just know what I bring to the leather-clad dildo emporium.”
“I do believe my breasts look better now,” said Tara Reid. “I had them fixed after that time when the strap of my dress fell down and everyone saw how disgusting my plastic surgery turned out. That’s not me being void and insignificant. I just know what I bring to a press release.”
And then there were two. Which team do you like more, Indianapolis or Chicago? Is that the Super Bowl matchup you expect in February?
BoDog Bookmakers, BoDog.ws: The Bears are looking phenomenal right now. Only one team has broken the seven-point barrier against the solid Chicago defense, and they would’ve had their second shutout of the season, if greasy Griese hadn’t fumbled late against Buffalo. Regardless, with their fairly comfortable schedule, we expect the Bears to run their streak a while longer. With Indianapolis struggling to beat Tennessee on Sunday, we can’t give them early credit and expect to see them in the Super Bowl; certainly the Colts can score points, but they have yet to prove they are more than just a regular-season team.
Which is the worst winless team in the NFL? Tennessee, Oakland, Detroit or Tampa Bay?
BDB, BoDog.ws: Oakland and Tennessee have to be fighting for the worst spot right now, with Oakland having a slight edge. And with Randy Moss being satisfied with 136 receiving yards in four games, we’re concerned that something other than fruit and juice are being mixed in his smoothies at his juice store in West Virginia.
Do you think a team like the Louisville Cardinals has a legit shot at the BCS title game? More legit than, say, one-loss teams like Tennessee or California?
BDB, BoDog.ws: Louisville is currently ranked #7 across the polls, and their undefeated record certainly looks good. They also have a very comfortable schedule, with the only real concern being West Virginia in Week 8. Even though one game can turn the tide in the polls, right now they’re looking better than Tennessee or California, especially since they have defeated their opponents by an 18-point margin or greater.
What was the New York Yankees’ losing like in terms of the oddsmakers? A positive or negative result? What are you opinions about the Yankees’ sixth straight failure?
BDB, BoDog.ws: We expected to see a little more support for Detroit, but the public still backed the Yankees, and a Yankees loss is generally always a good thing for books. People have to start wondering if this cash machine is getting a little too old for the game: six players on the roster born in the 1960s and only four born in the 1980s. They may look unbeatable on paper, but they are far from it. It’s time to shuffle the deck in New York, or start cheering for the Mets.
