Tim Tebow's Gal Pal Janell Wheeler, Eliminated from American Idol
Way back in April of 2009, the above picture surfaced of Tim Tebow and some unnamed girl made the blogosphere go buzz as people speculated that she might be Tebow's girlfriend. (My Florida sources tell me however that they were just good friends)
Well, the girl in the picture, Janell Wheeler has made name for herself as she made the top 24 on this season's American Idol.
Here is one of her earlier performances of Estelle's American Boy during Hollywood Week:
However, Janell received the dire news as she was the first eliminated contestant this season.
Oh well, Cheer Up Janell!
At least you got your name out there in the music business and you got a post on Outside the Boxscore without doing anything negative.In the end, that's more important than the title of American Idol.

To be honest, I wouldn't blame Alexander Ovechkin for being a little pissed off at the moment.
Ovechkin's Russian hockey team lost to Team Canada which prevented Russia from even medaling in men's hockey at the Vancouver Winter Olympics.
Ovechkin saw some fan filming him and decided to get that camera out of his face.

Royals Sued by Fan Hit by Badly-Thrown Hot Dog
There are certain stories in the world of sports that are heart-warming and send a chill down your preverbial spine.
Sadly, this is not one of them. Plantiff John Coomer is suing the Kansas City Royals based on the actions of mascot, Slugger the Lion. Commer claims that Slugger hit him with a hot dog which caused him to lose sight in his left eye.
We get more from TMZ:
It's all in a lawsuit filed in Jackson County, Missouri in which John Coomer claims he was just chillin' at a game on September 8, 2009 -- when Slugger "climbed atop the third base dugout and started shooting hotdogs into the stands from an air gun."This story might be a black-eye for the Kansas City Royals organization but there might be some good that comes from this story.
Coomer claims Slugger eventually put the air gun down -- and started firing off the wieners by hand ... when, according to the suit, things went horribly wrong.
In the docs, Coomer claims "Slugger lost control of his throw or was reckless with his throw, and threw the hotdog directly into the Plaintiff."
Coomer claims the dog hit him right in his left eye -- leaving him with a detached retina and the development of cataracts.
Coomer is now suing the Royals for more than $25k for negligence and battery -- claiming they "failed to adequately train its agents ... in the proper method in which to throw hotdogs into the stands at Kauffman Stadium."
At least they found, the 4th man in their starting rotation.

Awkward Moments with a Kent State Sideline Reporter
The above video features Kent State sideline reporter Jon Jankowski covering the Kent State-Buffalo college basketball affair.
Jon is a little bit nervous and judging by the video, it could probably be from one of two reasons.
1) This is his first time on live television
or
2) That Hottie in 223 accepted his date for Saturday to the Spring Formal
For whatever reason, I think Jon should stay away from the interweb for the next couple of days.

The Miracle on Ice: 30 Years Later
There are few moments in sports that can stand the test of time, The Miracle on Ice happened over thirty years ago but for most people it must feel like yesterday.
The story itself seems a little over-the-top to begin with, a bunch of collegiate players from the United States who were blown out in an exhibition match by the same dominant-Russian team only months prior, come back to beat them for a chance at the gold medal.
United States was under the grip of the Cold War and had to deal with the Iran hostage crisis. The nation needed someone to come through for them but they probably weren't thinking of a hockey team to bring them hope.
The Russians at the time were the most dominant force in hockey and appeared to be in cruise-control to get to the gold medal round. However, USA coach Herb Brooks decided to work his team to the brink of exhaustion in practice but maybe that might have been the catalyst to the USA winning.
The young sportscaster in charge of calling the said matchup for ABC was Al Michaels was given the coverage of the Men's Hockey.
The game itself was a back and forth affair going into the third period as the Russians held a 3-2 lead. A goal by Mark Johnson tied the score at 3-3 at about the 8:39 mark and appeared to give the USA hope in possibly taking the victory.
Nearing the ten minute mark of the final period, USA Mark Pavelich found an open Mike Eruzione who skated past Russian defenders to score the eventual game-winning gold.
As the crowd counted down, the famous call of Al Michaels, "Do You Believe in Miracles?" helped cement the legacy of this game.
Most tend to forget that this was not the game for the gold medal which the United States won with a 4-2 win over Finland. However, that victory somehow gave the downtrotten United States hope that things would change for the better. Victories in sports rarely have this widespread of an affect but this one might have. Some have even said that the game helped start the chant of "USA! USA! USA!"
Although, it's been 30 years since that day in Lake Placid, New York, the memories are still fresh from arguably the greatest upset in sports history. The story itself of a group of plucky kids who beat the Russians resonates with most people, the ultimate underdog story come to light.
"The Miracle on Ice", a story-book ending that was written on the ice.

I'm not 100% percent sure if I should be impressed with dedication to Brett Favre or a little peeved that Dan Marino doesn't have a song.
Wait, my bad. Hootie and the Blowfish, already did it.

Dallas Cowboys Fan claims Philly TSA "Jersey Profiled"
Recently in the news, some people were up in arms regarding racial profiling when certain individuals would enter TSA security checkpoints in airports.
Well, we might finally have a security screening based on a jersey. Not any jersey, a Dallas Cowboys jersey.
Cowboys fan Alyson Glenn claimed that Philadelphia TSA screeners pulled her out of the security line because she was wearing a Jason Witten jersey.
We get more in video form from CBS 4 in Philadelphia:
Glenn is asking for an explanation and apology from the TSA and to be honest, she will most likely receive it.
The real question now is, "What if she was wearing a Tony Romo jersey?"

Tiger Woods Friday Statement: Much Ado About Nothing
The major news from Wednesday was Tiger Woods will issue a statement this Friday at 11am est at the PGA Tour Headquarters in Ponte Vedre Beach, Florida.
The statement is expected to include Tiger's future plans for golf, discuss his much-checkered past, and apologize to his fans.
On the outset, this would appear to be what many people wanted out of Tiger about five months ago but I'm not going to jump on Tiger's back regarding the time he decides to make a statement or who he decides to allow in the room.
My real issue at this time is how big the sports media and the blogosphere is going to jump on this story. The Tiger Woods scandal has been one of the most remarkable stories in the past couple years and I expect that many people will take sides regarding whatever statement Tiger decides to make.
Woods personal life has pretty much become fodder for the likes of celebrity magazines, entertainment television, and pretty much anyone with Twitter account or blog. I can understand why it took him so long to respond; when your dealing with your own personal problems with your wife regarding trust, that should be your first priority.
There was no "perfect time" for Tiger to make his statement, if he made early it would make him appear guilty of something or open more questions to what happened. If he decides to do it when the 10th mistress comes out, he appears to be just trying to quash the next one from coming out. Every scenario has it's problems, there was no perfect time for Tiger.
For the statement itself, I'm not expecting it to blow anyone out of the water and it will be pedestrian at best. However, if there is anything even remotely memorable about it, certain people in the media will eat it up with a silver spoon. Think what the blogosphere and media might do if Tiger sheds a tear. The important thing that we have to remember, everyone is human and that the test of a man is how he carries himself after this scandal.
In the end, I feel good for Tiger. He finally gets to speak his mind regarding this scandal since pretty much everyone else has already had their say about it. This statement should not define Tiger Woods, the rest of his life should.

U.S. Skier asks Taylor Swift, "Will You Be My Valentine?"
If I am being brutally honest, I had no clue who U.S. skier Will Branderberg was before I saw this video. To steal a line from Charles Barkley, "He could walk in with a sign that said, "I'm Will Brandenberg" and you still wouldn't know who he is."
Well, Brandenberg was being interviewed by MTV's Sway when fellow U.S. skier Ted Ligety decided to spill the beans that he was a Taylor Swift fan.
Brandenberg decided to send out a little video message asking Swift to be his Valentine for a possible dinner and movie date.
No word from Taylor Swift's camp yet but stranger things have happened and I wouldn't put it past Brandenberg to get that date if he wins Olympic Gold.

New York Rangers Fan Marriage Proposal Gone Wrong
During yesterday's Tampa Bay Lighting-New York Rangers affair, a New York Rangers fan decided to propose to his girlfriend on Valentine's Day.
(Collective, AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW)
Well as you can tell by the title, it did not go well from the Rangers fan.
We here at Outside the Boxscore are still unsure if this is real or just a prank from the New York Rangers, so take the above video with a grain of salt.
UPDATE- We are being told that this actually was a prank pulled by the fans themselves. The New York Rangers had no prior knowledge that this marriage proposal was a prank.
UPDATE PART 2- With Leather has just posted that they were hired actors from an agency to be designed for game entertainment.
Essentially, that means the New York Rangers were in on it.

NOTE: Ichiro does not make the cut on this list, indicating that again this year we differ with the conventional wisdom in the fantasy baseball industry. Inasmuch as we greatly value balance across different categories, the hit that you take in home runs and RBIs is not worth the advantage you pick up in batting average, stolen bases and runs when it comes to investing a high draft pick or auction price in him.
Winner of the Week: NBDL Slam Dunk Contest
Most of you probably had the same expression that I had after watching the 2010 NBA Slam Dunk Contest, "What the H%LL was that crap?"
Well, at least our friends over in the NBA Developmental League showed off some impressive stuff with their dunk contest.
The eventual winner was Los Angeles Defenders guard Dar Tucker whose final dunk culminated in him jumping over 7 footer "Wisconsin's Own", Brian Butch.
Congrats to Nate Robinson for his third Slam Dunk title but Dar Tucker would have creamed him if competed in the NBA one.
Just Missed the Cut: Steve Nash being Steve Nash, Dallas Mavericks-Washington Wizards be tradin', and Danica Patrick Crashin'
Oprah tries to rub off Drew Brees's Birth Mark

2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics Torch Lighting FAIL
For those of you who decided to miss the end of the opening of the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada; here is the classic video of the indoor torch lighting ceremony that didn't go according to plan.
The original plan was to have the four Canadian sports legends (Wayne Gretzky, Steve Nash, Nancy Greene, and Catriona LeMay Doan) each light a specific section of the "torch structure" in unision which would then light the middle cauldron.
The only problem was that one of the sections that was supposed to rise from the ground, didn't rise at all.
Then everything got akward for a few minutes....
If picture are worth a thousand words, Steve Nash and Wayne Gretzky reactions could write novels.

Jimmy Kimmel gets even with Pete Townshend

The joke had Kimmel placing a $200 dollar prop bet that Townshend would smash his guitar where if he did, Kimmel could possibly win $250 dollars.
Oh well, at least at the end of this clip, Kimmel got his revenge and some of his money back.
