| Terrell Owens
|
| The Friday Fryer may have been on hiatus these past few weeks, but T.O. and his antics have not been. First, T.O. said that he was dropping ball thrown to him because Dallas Cowboys head coach Bill Parcells was not telling him how great he is. Oh yeah, and Bill did not ask how T.O. was after he overdosed on pain killers back in September.
This of course was not the end of T.O. During the game last Saturday against the Atlanta Falcons, T.O. spit into the face of Falcons cornerback DeAngelo Hall. Funny part is that T.O. first admitted to spitting, before admitting he did not spit. With T.O.’s personality, is a career in politics in the future? Well, no matter if one is or is not, Owen gets the first nomination for the Friday Fryer.

| Philadelphia Flyers and Philadelphia 76ers'
|
| The Flyers are currently on an 8 game losing streak. This is the longest losing streak in the 40-year history of the club. The previous record was a 6-game losing streak. This previous record was actually tied earlier this season. The club now sits with an 8-22-4 record. Awful does not begin describe this team’s play. And the sad part is: there are still 48 games remaining in the season.
As bad as the Flyers are, the Sixers are worse. The Sixers are currently on a 12-game losing streak! They traded away their best player, Allen Iverson, for a respectable starter, an expiring contract, and two first round draft picks in the 2007 NBA Draft. Hence, the Sixers will have three first-round draft picks in what many believe is the deepest NBA draft in years. But, with the Sixers track record in draft picks, does anyone truly believe that they will pick the right players? Raise your hands if you do. . . .
Anyone? Well, anyway, the winless winter in Philadelphia continues, and for that, both the Sixers and Flyers get the nomination for the Friday Fryer this week.

| College Bowls
|
| Lets see, we have the New Orleans Bowl on tap tonight. Tomorrow the PapaJohns.com Bowl, the New Mexico Bowl, the Armed Forces Bowl all scheduled to be played. After that, another TWENTY-FIVE bowls are scheduled to be played this holiday season. Hey folks, I thought we could not see a national playoff in Division I-A college football because of the need players to be students and study? Yet, the NCAA now permits a 12th game to be added to the annual I-A team’s schedule, plus a conference championship game, plus nearly 30 bowl games to be played in during late December and early January.
Come on now. This is becoming a real joke. The NCAA and the colleges should come clean and admit that I-A college football is nothing more than a revenue generating business. Picking a national champion is not even considered, except for revenues it creates for the big college sports players (i.e. – universities in the big conferences).
And for this sad fact, the College Bowls get nominated for the Friday Fryer this week.
