Failed Joe Buck Super Bowl Promo is Spot On

Joe Buck's Failed Super Bowl Promo from Funny Or Die      

You gotta give credit where credit is due: at least Joe Buck can laugh at himself.  Nothing is worse than some pompous a-hole who can't take a joke.

Katie Nolan Slams Rick Reilly for being Rick Reilly

Bravo to Fox Sports 1 Katie Nolan for sticking up for colleague Regis Philbin.  ESPN's Rick Reilly despite enormous odds has somehow managed to make himself look like an even bigger douche bag by slamming TV icon Philbin for his work on Fox Sports 1.  Why would he do such a thing?  I have no fucking clue but what I do know is Nolan is moving up quickly on the "SportsCaster" ladder.  Combining good looks with smarts and a voice that is neither annoying or whiny while clearly presentable is going to do wonders for Nolan.  In other words we are huge fans of her.

Sorry Erin Andrews.  Mariana Gonzalez just threw down the gauntlet with this white see-through dress.  Game.  Set.  Match.

By the way if you look closely you can see Jay Glazer jacking it to Mariana in the background.  True story.  Oh wait that's just me.  Carry on.

This Brings Back Some Memories: Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover GIF

Before the internet was around there were two things for adolescent boys to look forward to getting in the mail: Victoria Secret's catalog and the SI Swimsuit Edition.  They both had the hottest super models in there.  From SpankBank material with Elle MacPherson, Stephanie Seymour, and Kathy Ireland among others just showing off enough skin to let a young boy's mind race to what could be.  These days kids have it so easy.  Anyways this Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Cover GIF is basically a jerkoff time machine.  So many memories.

The NFL Bad Lip Reading is Back and it's Hilarious

I know I sound like a school girl but these NFL Bad Lip Reading videos make me giggle.  They probably didn't have enough time but it would have great if they had Richard Sherman's meltdown on there.  Nevertheless it's a great job.

Richard Sherman Mic'd Up Did Say "Hell of a Game" To Michael Crabtree

Cool now maybe the media can stop with the incessant Richard Sherman articles.  I mean who really gives a shit anyways?  Sherman is just a defensive back.  He can talk all the trash he wants as long as he can back it up with his All-Pro play.  It's not like he is the quarterback or a kicker who can single handily win or lose a game with his play.  Hell Sherman didn't even make the interception.  His teammate did.  So please stop with the Sherman storyline.  I get it.  He's from Compton.  He went to Stanford.  He was a 5th round draft pick.  He's the best corner in the game right now. He trash talks all fucking game.  Blah blah.  Until he intercepts a ball and returns it for a pick 6 Deion Sanders style then I don't really see what the big deal about Sherman is.  He's just a defensive back who has the tendency to blow up on camera while being interviewed by Erin Andrews.

Oh and by the way he is not a "thug."  "He is the Man" according to this new Beats by Dre commercial...

Minnesota Gophers Hot Fans Take Selfies in Stands

I'm so out of the loop these days but I think these three Minnesota Gophers students are taking selfies and/or Vines at the Minnesota/Wisconsin game last night.  Well it's our duty to rank them in...um...order.  Girl on the far left despite the TV graphic trying to block our view is clearly #1.  She just has the "it" factor.  She carries this crew 24/7.  Now the tough part.  Who is #2 and who is relegated to the dreaded #3 spot which isn't necessarily bad with this trio.  Despite the bedazzled phone I got to go with the blonde for #2.  It's the smile in the end.  The cute little smirk just clinches it.  Now we need to find out who these girls are.  There must be Instagram pictures out there.   By the way Minnesota won the game, upsetting #9 Wisconsin 81-68.  They were clearly inspired by these gorgeous Gophers.

Yankees Sign Masahiro Tanaka for $175 Million

Just when I was starting to feel bad for the New York Yankees and those awful contracts they handed out to aging stars Alex Rodriguez, Derek Jeter, CC Sabathia, Mark Teixeira, Brian McCann, Jacoby Ellsbury, and Carlos Beltran they go out and totally redeem themselves by signing Japanese pitcher Masahiro Tanaka for seven-years, $155 million (plus $20 million posting fee).  This signing will work out great for the Yankees.  Tanaka has never pitched in the majors but fuck it, what does that matter?  He put up great numbers in Japan so "let's pay him Clayton Kershaw money" is a great way to build a franchise.  Brilliant in fact.  Absolutely no way this signing blows up in their faces.  Tanaka will perform great in the low pressure, laid back style that only New York can provide.  Plus he isn't making quite as much as A-Rod so he won't have a bulls eye on his back.  We all know Yankees fans are caring, loving individuals who no matter how much their stars struggle are only there to support them with admiration.  Good luck in NY Tanaka!

Baltimore Ravens Jacoby Jones Gives Grade A Drunk Interview At Pelicans Game

I have no fucking clue what Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Jacoby Jones said here at a clearly sold out New Orleans Pelicans game last night.  After decades of studying, practicing, and perfecting the art of drunk I still can't translate Jacoby's slurs.  Jacoby is so smashed he's wearing a LiveStrong bracelet.  Bro those were in style 10 years ago.  Yes ma'aaaamm!

Auburn Band Reacts to 2013 Iron Bowl Win

Unless you are an inbred Bama fan you have to get the chills watching this video of the Auburn band reacting to Chris Davis' epic missed field goal return for the winning score in the 2013 Iron Bowl.  I honestly don't see how these kids are even performing after watching this live in person.  I would have been going ape shit.  Fuck this fiddle I'm going down to the field to celebrate!

Jameis Winston Has A Country Song Called "He's Jameis"

I can definitely see Jameis and his friends rocking out to this slow country song with his friends while drinking moonshine in Southern Alabama.  Peas in a pod my friends.  Peas in a pod.

Hipster NFL Logos

The awesome folks over at KissingSuzyKolber produced some top notch Hipster NFL Logos.  These are just a few of my favorites.

We all know Hipsters love their "craft beer."  Hey buddy can I get a Pompous Asshole Pale Ale?

James Franklin Bought an Ad in The Tennessean to Thank Vanderbilt

I gotta admit this was a classy move by new Penn State head coach James Franklin.  Franklin took out a near full page ad in The Tennessean to thank Vanderbilt for everything they gave him.  Now you can get a small glimpse of why people like Franklin are so successful.

I've been arguing with some friends about Franklin.  For some wacko reason they think he will be a massive failure in Happy Valley.  I can't even grasp that bullshit.  The guy won at Vanderbilt!  Before he got to Nashville the Commodores had been to one, yes, one bowl game in the last 28 years.  During his 3 years they went to 3 bowl games.  I would say that is pretty damn good.  Also they beat up on Tennessee, Georgia and Florida who are all SEC East blueblood programs.

If the Big Ten is ever going to get back to dominant conference play (have they ever?) they need to poach coaches from the SEC.  Last year they did it with Urban Meyer going to Ohio State.  This year it is Franklin.  He will kill it for State Penn.  College football needs Franklin to succeed at Penn State.  It's so much more entertaining when at least a few teams from up north are competing for National Titles.  We need to revive the Civil War of College Football.  Yee Haw!

Instagram Heat: Emma Frain

I've had an Instagram account for over 2 years now and I have honestly been on there maybe 4 times.  I never really understood the attraction of the photo sharing website.  Of course I was the same way with Twitter at first but then you realize why so many people are getting on there: porn.  No I'm kidding of course. Most people go on there for all the great information right?

Back to Instagram.  Check out Emma Frain's page.  It's full of goodies at http://instagram.com/thefrainbow

Here are some highlights:

Blaze the Husky Says No to the Kennel

Hey what can you say other than this dog gets it.  No one wants to be in a kennel.  Especially not Blaze.  You can try all you want master but you are not getting me in that fucking box a-hole.

I didn't realize people still put their dogs in cages.  Seems cruel to be honest.  How would you like to sit in a box barely bigger than your body for 8 hours a day?  Sounds awesome right?  Sign me up.

Lane Kiffin To Bama Deserves a New The Beverly Hillbillies Song

What in the fuck was Nick Saban thinking?

Lane Kiffin?

Seriously?

People don't intentionally try to get AIDS or Cancer but here we are in 2014 and Saban has just infected his program with Kiffin.  It's the most deadly disease known to football.

Those poor inbred cousins down in Tuscaloosa have no fucking clue what they are getting into with Kiffin.  And don't even start with the "well he was a great coordinator with USC" bullshit.  The Trojan's roster was full of Heisman winners and All-Americans.  Gene Chizik and Larry Coker could have one done wonders with those players too.

In all honesty I have to thank Saban for hiring Kiffin.  It's going to be pure entertainment down in Tuscaloosa.  Saban is letting his ego get the best of him thinking he can turn anything into gold and shit maybe he does shine the shit off of Kiffin's turd of a coaching career but I seriously doubt it.

CSN Introduces The New Chicago Cubs Mascot Clark Who Apparently Is Packing Heat

You might want to put some pants on that Cub.  100 plus years of losing baseball and still Clark the Cub is packing some serious heat.  Good for him.  Bad for the kids.

Deadspin did a great job with Clark.  You might as well make him anatomically correct if he's not gonna have any pants on.
