Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas now has something in common with Jennifer Lopez, Marc Anthony, Venus & Serena Williams,  Jimmy Buffett, Emilo and Gloria Estefan. She is about to be a part of the celebrity’s that own the Miami Dolphins.

Team owner Steve Ross has not made an agreement with the singer but the NFL has approved her when she does sign.

In a related NFL note, it does not look like Rush Limbaugh would be able to be an owner of the St. Louis Rams even though he threw his prescriptionshat into the ring. Maybe next time you call someone like Donavon McNabb just another “black” quarterback, you will actually think before speaking.

So Fergie, who sings about her humps owns an NFL team and Rush doesn’t?  All right then.-Dr.FB

Sports Boxers & Briefs

Posted in Entertainment, Sports on October 7th, 2009 by drfunkenberry

A day after the Metrodome was rocked by Favre-Mania, the Twins took it to the next level beating the Detroit Tigers in a 12 inning game to remember. Detroit was up by 7 games with a month to go but could not stop losing and the Twins couldn’t stop winning, forcing the 1 game playoff. The Twins reward? They get to play the Yankees tonight…..

The Dodgers play the Cards in round 1 of the playoffs and the Cards usually give the Dodgers problems. Can they change history?…….

Breaking NFL news….Michael Crabtree, who was the no. 1 draft pick of the San Francisco 49ers, is ready to sign with the team after holding out. Wonder if it has anything to do with them being 3-1?……

Braylon Edwards is about to be traded from the Cleveland Browns to the New York Jets. Edwards has been having on-field problems and off-field problems, reportedly getting into a fight with a friend of Lebron James at a Cleveland nightclub.  Interestingly enough, I wonder if this time next year Lebron will be in New York as well?……I’m not saying, I’m just sayin’.-Dr.FB

Football season is here…finally.  I have some thoughts and predictions to share with you and I want to know your favorite team. Mine is the Dallas Cowboys and they are going…..nowhere.  Here are some other predictions and things I am looking forward to;

SUPER BOWL HALFTIME SHOW: BON JOVI

Hear. Me. Out. You can knock Bon Jovi all you want but you know they have more hits than an adult film site. They have earned their due and if they are not the Halftime Show this year, it will be highly disappointing. The boys from Jersey baby.

THE MADDEN CURSE LIVES: Troy from the Pittsburgh Steelers is on the cover. He is out 6 weeks and it is a painful injury.

BRETT FAVRE’s CONSECUTIVE GAME STREAKS ENDS SOMETIME THIS YEAR: Favre’s record will fall as he will get hurt.

DETROIT LIONS WIN FIRST GAME IN WEEK 3: The Lions will beat the Washington Redskins week 3 and upset the Bears in week 4. Just watch.

TOM BRADY WILL BE TOM BRADY: The New England Patriots will be the team they were before Tom left. Speaking of which, when do you win 11 games and miss the playoffs? Wow.

FANTASY FOOTBALL PLAYER OF THE YEAR: Aaron Rodgers. You guys are going to laugh now but the guy is going to get you over 30 td’s and 5-7 rushing td’s. Packers are scary. Super Bowl scary.

MICHAEL VICK WILL START A GAME FOR THE EAGLES: When was the last time McNabb was healthy for 2 years in a row? Just sayin’.

AFC DIVISION WINNERS: New England Patriots, Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars, San Diego Chargers, (Wild Card: Tennessee Titans, Buffalo Bills)

NFC Division Winners: Dallas Cowboys (not really but it’s my team!), Green Bay Packers, New Orleans Saints, Seattle Seahawks, (Wild Card: Minnesota Vikings, San Francisco 49ers)

You won’t believe who I have in the Super Bowl but one of the teams will have my fantasy football player of the year on it.

WEEK 1 UPSETS: Carolina over Philly, Jacksonville over Indy, San Francisco over Arizona.

I am doing this for fun, so you guys can give me some hell over it, but a lot of what I say will happen. Peace! Bon Jovi in 2010 baby!-Dr.FB

(Good luck to everyone’s team!)

Wow. An NFL team actually signed Michael Vick. The Philadelphia Eagles signed Michael Vick to a two year contract.  Guess we know now where PETA will be protesting.

He will get $1.6 million this year and if they resign him, $5.2 million next year.

Michael Vick served 23 months in prison for the killing of dogs and dog fighting.

What do you think of this?-Dr.FB

Brett Favre To Stay Retired.  File PhotoBrett Favre has told the Minnesota Vikings that he is going to remain retired and not return to the NFL He says the decision was incredibly difficult and he will most likely never play again.

“It was the hardest decision I’ve ever made,” Favre said. “I didn’t feel like physically I could play at a level that was acceptable. I would like to thank everyone, including the Packers, Jets and Vikings — but, most importantly, the fans.”

Favre leads the league in most touchdowns thrown, but also leads in interceptions. Favre has appeared in 2 super bowls and won 1.-Dr.FB

The Emmys are moving from September 20th to September 13th, afraid of getting sacked in the ratings by an NFL doubleheader which could interfere with what time the show starts.

You know, it would be great if it actually aired live because all of us who do not live on the East Coast will know the winners before the show even goes to air via Twitter, Facebook, or even myspace for those that are still on there.

So go for the long bomb, Emmys and go live like the Golden Globes are doing in January 2010!-Dr.FB

Even The Super Bowl Is Feeling Economic Times

First, the Playboy Super Bowl party at the Playboy Mansion was cancelled.  Then the lingerie bowl was cancelled.  Now comes some very interesting news; not all the Super Bowl ads are sold!

Usually, Super Bowl ad space sell out months in advance.  Not so this year.  NBC was asking for $3 million starting for ads.  Turns out they have been selling for under the price mark.  In fact, with 4 days left, they still have 4 spaces left selling under $2.7 Million. 

This is gonna be a pretty well rated Super Bowl, but advertisers rather pass.  Even GM and others who have been putting ads on for over 10 years passed.  When the going gets tough, they sure turned into quarterbacks.-Dr.FB
