Mario Balotelli is one of the most coveted stars available this transfer market. And although the nineteen year old striker is still a little bit rough around the edges many of the world's biggest teams have begun to bid for the supposedly irreplaceable, young African forward.

And Manchester City is the favored club to win the battle for Balotelli this summer, but Jose Mourinho, the star's former manager at Inter Milan, decided to give potential buyers a forewarning of what to expect if they land the star:

The guy has incredible qualities, but sometimes does not know how to use his brain.

We called out Stevie Johnson for making fun of Plaxico Burress shooting himself in his thigh. On Monday, Stevie Johnson apologized for his touchdown celebration. You can see the Stevie Johnson celebration video here.

Plaxico Burress said he got a call and a text message from Stevie Johnson after the game.

Terrell Owens may finally find a home for the 2010 NFL season. According to reports, T.O. has been working out with Carson Palmer in California. Supposedly, Palmer is so impressed with what he's seen from Owens in workouts that he has told the Cincinnati Bengals that they need to sign the vivacious wide receiver.

Terrell Owens remains a free agent. It's obvious that NFL teams are worried about his explosive personality ruining chemistry. On top of that, Owens' career is nearing its end.

Brad Smith had huge night on Thanksgiving, propelling the New York Jets to a 26-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Smith had three carries for 55 yards (including a 53-year touchdown run), a catch for 23 yards and an 89-yard kickoff return, during which he lost a shoe. He ran the last 50 yard with just one cleat.

When it comes to natural wide receivers in the NFL, Antonio Bryant is near the top of the list. He's big, fast, athletic and has good hands.

This offseason, the Cincinnati Bengals looked past Bryant's red flags and signed him to a $28 million contract.

Terrell Owens has responded to the story that he tried to kill himself by denying it. The October 6th incident in question involved a 911 call in which his assistant said he thought T.O. was trying to commit suicide. However, that same assistant now has a new story.

Said a rep for T.O. about the assistant: "The facts are that she arrived at his home that evening after he had already taken a sleeping aid to fall asleep.

Did Terrell Owens try to kill himself again? That's what it sounds like. Listen to the audio of a 911 call placed on October 6th. During the call, Terrell Owens' assistant said that she believed T.O. was suffering from a pill overdose after a suicide attempt.

This isn't the first time this happened.

Terrell Owens held a public workout to drum up interest for his attempted return to the NFL. One problem: Not a single NFL team showed up to watch the workout.
