Terrell Owens/Celebrity Plane Crash

Just a week after Terrell Owens earned heavy praise for a team-first performance at Green Bay, he's resorted to being, well, himself.

He threw some blocks, sprinted downfield to throw a key block during a teammate's long touchdown run and also hustled across the field to make the tackle on an interception return. That was in a key road win on primetime television at fellow NFC power Green Bay. Great for him.

But in Sunday's loss to Washington, Owens caught seven balls, then complained after the game that that wasn't enough. Seven catches for 71 yards projects to 112 catches and 1,136 yards over a season. Those are Pro-Bowl numbers, especially if your name is Terrell Owens and you wear a blue star on your silver helmet. How do you complain about that?

Too, TO also got two carries on weak gadget plays. In his 13th season, perhaps he would have been better served to block on those plays for speedy teammate Miles Austin, who clearly has better wheels.

And Pro-Bowl quarterback Tony Romo threw to Owens on nearly a dozen other occasions. Romo certainly made a couple of poor throws, but on other occasions, Owens didn't get open, ran a loose route and definitely alligator-armed a quick slant that fell incomplete in the second half because a defender was poised to re-arrange Owens' rib cage.

If you want to earn those big dollars, experience the privelege of being a superstar on the NFL's most storied franchise and be able to run your mouth as freely as you do, don't short-arm makeable catches.

Whatever points he earned in Green Bay last week he gave back in the home team's clubhouse moments after Sunday's loss. And for that he needs to be on the Celebrity Plane Crash.

Which celebrity would you add?

Celebrity Plane Crash

I'm sorry to do this, but can we please add Jennifer Aniston to the Celebrity Plane Crash? I know she seems sweet and funny and likable, but I'm so tired of hearing about her failed relationships.

Who would you add?

It's been forever since I last updated the Celebrity Plane Crash, but I just saw Richard Simmons on local television.

+ Janice Dickinson
+ Chris Berman

Also Booked:

+ Gilbert Gottfried (from everybody with ears)
+ Mace Windu (from brokedickdog)

OK, it's been a while. Nominations are now being accepted.

Chris Berman Is An A-Hole

Thanks to wall and leegero, who sent this in within an hour of each other Friday morning.

This looks like it's old video, but if two of my senior correspondents who are also considered media insiders just saw it this morning, it must have just been released.

Anyway, please raise your hand if you also dislike Chris Berman. And please keep track of how many times he says, "GEEEEEE men" in Super Bowl previews this weekend. And also be aware of his bad ties and tiresome Classic Rock music references, and other weak gags. All around he sucks, and has sucked for a long time, and yet he's the face of ESPN's NFL coverage and probably will be for the next 20 years. He can board the Celebrity Death Plane (with colleague Stuart Scott) any time he likes. Here's the video:

UPDATE: Celebrity Plane Crash

I don't have a whole lot for you today other than an exciting addition to the list:

It's been nearly a month since I last updated the Celebrity Plane Crash passenger list, but two more have secured reservations:

1. Paris Hilton
   
2. Kirstie Alley
   
3. Terrell Owens
   
4. Denise Richards
   
5. Janice Dickinson
   
6. Chris Berman
   
7. Carmen Electra
   
8. Britney (but she can survive)
   
9. Keanu Reeves
   
10. Alec Baldwin (from brokedickdog)
    
11. Gilbert Gottfried (from everybody with ears)
    
12. Mace Windu (from brokedickdog)
    

I’ve resisted a handful of e-mailed suggestions to add Tom Cruise, but I’ve signed up for Scientology, and I don’t think that would be appropriate. Actually, that’s not true, but I’m not as anti-Cruise as everyone else seems to be.

However, I’m quite tired of news stories about that new baby of his, Suri. Which leads me to today’s discussion topic, keeping in mind that nominating a defenseless infant for a first-class seat on the CPC would be inappropriate so I’ll amend it some: Which baby would you most likely to see turn out to be a loser? Suri Cruise? Or Brangelina’s baby?

Celebrity Plane Crash

Here's an updated Celebrity Plane Crash, thanks in large part to Janice Dickinson's appearance on a local news station this morning:

5. Keanu Reeves
