Season Premier of Oprah, Olympic Athletes, Commercial
NESW Sports, Sports Videos — ... Season Premier of Oprah, Olympic Athletes, Commercial. Finally I can get my wife to watch sports. Oprah is so smart. She looks at all the money the Olympics brought in and the ratings, so she “lets” 100 of those athletes come on her show. That is why she is the best. The Premier is September 8th. As J.E. Skeets from Ball Don’t Lie says ,”Set your Tivos”. ...

Oprah Fans Mass on Chicago for Peek at Phelps — SPORTSbyBROOKS
Oprah’s army doesn’t get many opportunities to see their goddess in pant suits in the flesh. The only tickets harder to get for TV performances in Chicago history have been filmings of “The Bozo Show” and the Dirty Hippie section of Chicago Stadium for the 1968 Democratic Convention.

Tatum Bell, Former NFLer, Has New Gig As Porter — SPORTSbyBROOKS

I always knew he was popular there, but I had no idea that he was basically on par with Yao Ming. Hell, Bryant's jersey sells even better than Yao's does over there. As Carmelo Anthony said about Kobe, "He should move here." Well, apparently Kobe already has on some ...
