Now we know why Terrell Owens was dressed as Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver and sometimes instigator Terrell Owens was sporting a red nose and giving holiday cheer this week during interviews.

Owens has worn some, um, interesting outfits before. This one threw a few people, though it really wasn't as outlandish as some.

On First Take Friday, Skip Bayless, author and ESPN sports analyst, gave his theory on why Owens dressed like Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer: He is sending a message of "poor me, QB Tony Romo and tight end Jason Witten are drawing up secret plays and won't let me play in their reindeer games."

I guess it makes as much sense as any theory about why TO does the things he does.

Newsyawn: Politician tried to sell office to highest bidder

Yes, Rod Blagojevich sounds like a politician. The stereotypical Chicago politician. He reportedly tried to sell the U.S. Senate seat formerly held by Obama to the highest bidder, the person who would do the most favors for him.

That's unethical, but......why are so many people shocked? That's politics. It happens everywhere, from the smallest town council to the highest office.

Most are merely not so open and honest about being unethical as Blagojevich. Give him some credit for that, at least, while you are throwing him under the bus.
