Breakfast(s) of Champions
Sports headliners who need their own breakfast cereals
Can't get enough Terrell Owens in your life? Does around-the-clock football coverage and a new reality show fail to satisfy your hunger for all things T.O.? Well, grab a spoon because now T.O. can join you at the breakfast table. Owens unveiled Terrell Owens' Honey Nut Oats on Thursday. There must be something in Buffalo's two percent milk, because Owens is the second Bill to plaster his face on a cereal box (remember Flutie Flakes?).
This Pick 6 is going to steal some of Owens' "part of a balanced breakfast" thunder by picking other sports figures and attaching their recent headline-making abilities to brand-name, a.m. staples.
Frosted Flakes: Brett Favre
On the outside, sweet and delicious. Favre, for most of his career, was regarded as a fun-lovin', gun-slingin', awe-shuckin' quarterback. But over the past two seasons, that sugar-coated exterior has given way to a guy that can't seem to let the door hit him on the way out. Yeah...not so ggggrrrrreeaaaat.
Smacks - Chad Ochocinco
Not a ton of explanation here. You can't keep the man's mouth shut. And when's he's not talking, he's twittering... or at least threatening to twitter.
Lucky Charms - David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez
These two bash brothers were certainly the foundation on which the Red Sox championship seasons were built. Too good to be true? If recent reports citing both players as users in 2003 are true, than it's safe to say yes. I suppose, "magically delicious" would be appropriate.
Boo Berry - Micahel Vick
Recent reinstatement into the NFL doesn't exactly have teams clamoring for his services. A team will take a bite. For now, teams seem a little scared of the potential public relations hit.
Golden Grahams - Michael Phelps
Forget Wheaties. Phelps should be on this box. Maybe they could make eight different cereal necklaces for him to wear around. You know, in case he gets the munchies.
Rice Krispies - Trade Deadline "Buyers"
Some teams, like the Phillies, Cardinals and Giants, are all making moves to help themselves make runs for or in the playoffs. Other teams either can't make deals happen or are content with the players they have; which could make their playoff chances go snap, crackle, pop.
