Is Tim Tebow’s Autograph Worth $160 and Four Hours of Your Time?

Published on: 8th March, 2010

For the hundreds of Florida fans that lined up for the Chosen One’s signature, the answer is a resounding “YES!”  I doubt that the real Jesus Christ could have pulled this off–charging $160 to scribble his name on footballs, jerseys, pieces of paper and whatever else the rabid fans thrust in the former Gators quarterback’s [...]

Boise State’s Kyle Wilson Not One to Keep a Low Profile

Published on: 5th March, 2010

Wow!  Talk about your king of shameless self promotion.  You can see that thing coming a mile away.  Whatever you say about Kyle Wilson as a football player, the man is not lacking in confidence.
The way I figure it, Wilson’s plan to wow scouts at the NFL Scouting Combine consisted of three components…

Playgirl Makes an Offer to Mike Vick and His Junk

Published on: 22nd February, 2010

If you’re one of those people who sit around and ponder what Mike Vick’s dong looks like (you know who you are), well, you may be in luck.
But I doubt it.
Playgirl, “the primary source for hot nude men,” has confirmed they’ve offered Eagles QB Mike Vick $1 million to pose for their magazine.
The money, of [...]

Jared Allen’s Mullet May Help Him Land on the “Madden 11″ Cover

Published on: 22nd February, 2010

But the real question will be, “can Jared Allen’s mullet make him impervious to the Madden curse?”
Allen, the Vikings somewhat off-balanced DE, is one of three finalists (along with Drew Brees and Reggie Wayne) to be the face of the next installment of the Madden football franchise.  Of the three, Allen probably has the weakest [...]

Darrell Green’s Incredible Feats Will Cause You Great Shame

Published on: 16th February, 2010

Darrell Green is a freak of nature. I mean it…the man is not of this Earth.
Anybody who remembers Green playing cornerback for the Skins should remember that the guy was probably the fastest dude in the league. Forget probably–Green, during his playing days, was definitely the fastest player in the NFL.
But it’s been [...]

Oprah Winfrey and Drew Brees’ Birthmark Share a Moment

Published on: 13th February, 2010

You think Oprah Winfrey, with her gazillions of dollars, would have hired a top-notch research team.  You would think that, wouldn’t you.
You’d be wrong.
Because it seems that neither she, nor anyone on her monumental staff, thought to do a little research into Drew Brees before his appearance on Oprah’s show.  A picture of the Saints [...]

Maurice Clarett Wants to Checkout of the Crowbar Hotel a Little Early

Published on: 10th February, 2010

Hey, our favorite AK-47 carrying, NCAA suing, armed-robbing, ultimate definition of a never was, Maurice Clarett, is back in the news.  I, for one, missed Maurice and his wacky antics.  Knowing that a screw-up of Maurice Clarett’s stature is still around makes me feel better about my daily snafus.
I guess Slo-Mo is getting tired of [...]

True Saints Fans Look Like This on the Inside

Published on: 9th February, 2010

If you’re wondering–yes, that X-ray is real, and no, it is not normal to have a fleur-de-lis in your throat, no matter how big a Saints fan you are.  Unless of course you’re one of those fans who goes way too far in showing love for your team.  Then yes, this would be normal for [...]

Apparently Colts Fans Don’t Much Care For Second-Place Finishes

Published on: 9th February, 2010

After a long, arduous season, one in which you almost grabbed the brass ring but came up short, there’s nothing like landing at the airport and being greeted by throngs of supportive fans, all there to welcome you home, while at the same time congratulating you on a terrific season.

Unless of course you’re the Indianapolis [...]

Super Bowl XLIV The Most Watched Program in TV History

Published on: 8th February, 2010

CBS must be loving this.  The Nielsen ratings are out, and last night’s Super Bowl  is now the most watched program in television history, with 106.5 million viewers.  The depressingly preachy final episode of M*A*S*H, way back in 1983, held the previous record of 105.97 million viewers.
Last year’s matchup between the Steelers and Cardinals was [...]
