Deadspin
If you've shaken that Berman video out of your system — and we have absolutely not done so — here's something fun from the media party the other night.
You know Chris Mottram's doing great stuff over at The Sporting Blog — unlike some people — when we're linking him twice in the span of about four hours. But he's got video of a particularly enthusiastic Gin Blossoms fan.
We don't recognize that guy, but we're gonna have to assume he's not an actual media member. If he were there from an accredited organization, someone would have stopped him, right? Right?

Can I link to earlier in my comment?
MC Rove, Jr.?
I call Gottlieb. He actually paid for the band with "his" Visa.
You rarely see that type of dancing in bars outside of Allison Road.
"TOP TEN SONGS OF ALL TIME:
1. HEY JEALOUSY
2.-10. NO OTHER SONG"
At least someone's enjoying Super Bowl week, right?
If you thought he was excited during the Gin Blossoms, you should have seen him during the headliner puppet show.
Pretty much the only Gin Blossoms fan as well.
"I CAN'T BELIEVE WHAT I JUST SAW"

Were the Gin Blossoms opening up for Jimmy Eat World ?
Can you really tango to the Gin Blossoms?
@shea_guevara:
2 - Hey Jealousy accoustic version
3- Hey Jealousy MC Skat Kat Remix
probably could come up with 7 more but joke isn't worth it.
"enthusiastic Gin Blossoms fan"? Is there any other kind of Gin Blossoms fan at this point?
Hey, man, when Ted Kennedy takes the stage, you gotta jam.
Darren McFadden apparently left after the dueling piano opening act.
Keep on rocking that hair from 1994, man, even if your hairline has been receding since 1995.
I liked his squeal at the end. But man, Mike Greenberg has really let himself go.
I wish to subscribe to this guys newsletter (or paper or magazine).
Man, that guy's gonna flip when he finds out that Everclear is playing the Ramada Inn down the street.
Well look what just crawled out of the Buzz Bin.
It's Connor Mottram, the forgotten Mottram brother. Stay classy, Chris.
Will- surely you could have found something intelligent to write about during Super Bowl week instead of trying-and failing-to take a swipe at the Gin Blossums. This is the most ignorant, unintelligent, irrelevant article I have ever read.
"Dude, and I totally scored tickets for the Better Than Ezra show on Thursday night! I love Super Bowl week! It should totally be in Glendale every year! Whew Hew!"
I want some of whatever that guy was drinking.
You're with me Mullet.
i saw the gin blossoms opening for an 80s cover band called the legwarmers a couple of years ago. that's right, they were OPENING for an 80s cover band.
Where are my Doc Martens and flannel.
@Tracy Ham and Eggs as played by Walter Mondale: I think his newsletter comes on a sheet of acid.
I sold weed to the Gin lossoms in 1994.
BLOSSOMS
Is that the Writer from Tenacious D?
@bigboneded: WHOA!
Glad to see that David Gergen has made it to the Super Bowl.
He changed his name to "Jealousy" so he could feel that they were singing to him... just to him....
Ah, he's just got some Collective Soul.
@StupidAngelos:
Sadly, Art Alexakis is probably doing that right now since he filed for bankruptcy in 2005.
@twoeightnine: Yeah, do a little more research before you post an idiotic article like this again!
At least he dances Better Than Ezra.
announcing the halftime show of super bowl LXIII..... the gin blossoms! with special guests, stone temple pilots!
@Phony Gwynn: I think his moves are a bit Primitive.
Radio Gods
@I Heart Poop: Hey now! Don't lump those one-hit wonders in with STP.
They were the featured band during homecoming in 1996. Much hay was made about them in the local paper. Actual attendance? Probably about 20. They were up against a bunch of inflatable sports arena games - my favorite, the inflatable boxing ring - and had no chance whatsoever.
@daver4470: He's so vain.
Should have been you, Leitch.
He's going to dance. He's going to dance. He's going to dance and have some fun.
I hope he shows up to one of Will's book readings.
If he were there from an accredited organization, someone would have stopped him, right?
See Jacobson, Dana.

"Someone get a medic and hurry! Some douchebag is having a seizure by the front of the stage!"
This is what happens to the Deadhead/Phishhead rejects.
The Gin Blossoms suck.
Tony Romo joined the Gin Blossoms on stage for the encore. They played Hey Jealousy. Again.
@Camp Tiger Claw: You're such a Superdrag.
He needs to take a timeout and sit the Silverchair.
@Camp Tiger Claw: Yeah, you're right. Don't want to hype him too much, lest he get a Big Head.
Todd and the Monsters
/stealing your bit
@I Heart Poop: No Soul Asylum?
He must have come from quite the set of Breeders.
@Phony Gwynn:
Yeah, he couldn't hold a Candlebox to this guy.
@blastitbiggs: in
@StupidAngelos: Hey now. Don't go disparaging Superdrag - you'll suck out the feeling.
