Deadspin
All right. We are finally (almost) there. The Super Bowl week of emptiness and discussions of ankle sprains, goat testicles and Wes Welker is at last winding down. Congrats, fans: You've just about made it to the actual game.
We're not sure what much more we can say about the Super Bowl on Sunday, which is funny, because we haven't said much throughout the week either. More proof that the Super Bowl sucks the life out of anything fun in football: The Patriots have a chance to pull off the biggest story in the NFL in 25 years, and we honestly have a difficult finding anybody around Phoenix talking about the game. In fact, they're mostly just talking about how no one's talking about the game.
We really should have shut the TV off right after Tynes' field goal. Oh well: Let's trudge through two more days.

"Dude, here's the video of me ripping off those lambs' balls with my teeth. Hilarious."
Wes Welker is white AND fast!

Hell of an update.
Discussions of goat testicles you say, man that Deadspin party must have ROCKED!!
"Check it out, Berman goes CRAZY!"
The Patriots have a chance to pull off the biggest story in the NFL in 25 years
What happened in 1983? The Redskins actually won a Super Bowl?
In other news, the sky is still blue. Stay tuned for further updates.
It's going to be a post about nothing. It's gold Jerry, gold!
Too many people in that photo to be from last night's Deadspin Party. Also total lack of acne in the photo. Maybe some back acne though.
"And Salisbury keeps sending me all these photos. Look, here's another one."
I'll be sure to cry for you later.
Table 8 looks like that one loser table from every wedding.
Seriously can we get a fucking update about the pants party?
"So, everyone's going to wear their jersey to the event, right? I don't want to be the only one and look stupid."
"It's a cell phone. It also sends text messages."
Bitching about Super Bowl week? You really ARE a journalist!
/arranges for you to have drinks with Pasquarelli
@Christmas Ape: Maybe it was all the stud QBs entering the league in that year's draft.
ah the billy ripken "fuck face" card. still a riot after all these years
@Brazil Thrill:
"So why am I reading it?"
"Because its on the internet"
@POPULARCOPY: Couldn't have been too much of a party if Will is up and posting at 9:00. Or is it 8:00? I never remember. Stupid Arizona and their no-daylight-savings.
@the intrepid spaceman spiff: I thought it was a Magic conference.
After those 53 hours, what the fuck are we supposed to do the rest of February?
And we both have two dogs, and we both live on Long Island, so me & Eli have all these different things in common.
@katni:
Probably as good a party as the ESPN no-booze christmas party.
@EddieRebel:
Well, there's always porn.
@Big Daddy Drew: Make sure the bar has enough unpasturized buttermilk for Len.
So did Daulerio get punched by Scott Van Pelt? Was he able to sneak into the Maxim Party?
I want answers! I want the truth!
"Seriously, this thing can fit in between Strahan's front teeth."
"Yeah, Salisbury keeps sending me this picture..."
@EddieRebel: I keep hearing something about "pitchers and catchers" around here but I don't understand how gay sex is supposed to sustain us until the madness of March.
Filip Bondy of the New York Daily News predicted a 41-7 Patriots victory in this morning's edition. What a douche!
@katni: It doesn't take that long to get over a night of Yoohoo! induced sugar highs.
@Brazil Thrill: You want the truth? You can't handle the truth that Will was back at his hotel room by 7:30 to watch Maid In Manhattan.
needs more gonzo and less journalism.
Maybe, there is the possibility the after-party is still going on and Will's live blogging from it.
I thought so. Whom am I kidding?
@alumnigonzo: Then he and AJ just got waaaaasted off some Seagram's Wild Berry Coolers and crashed the pool. It was craaazy, man.
/every high school party I ever went to
"Yeah, that's a good picture, but it's still not as good as that Etch-A-Sketch of Osi shatting on that broad."
"Check out this video of Chris Berman fuckin' spazzing OUT."
Why don't you talk about the movie "Meteor Man"?

@katni: Judging by the post, he could have written this one two weeks ago and woken up just enough to hit the "send" button.
Slight threadjack:
That sound you hear is the clatter of Easterbook's jism hitting his computer screen as he reads about Arlen Specter's grandstanding:

@UkraineNotWeak: If that's the case they must have skipped the Uno and gone straight for a grueling game of Monopoly.
Who's got boardwalk, Will?
@alumnigonzo: Colonel Leitch, did you order the Mountain Dew: Code Red from room service? Did you order the Code Red?!?
@daver4470:
The author of the "Magic Bullet" theory talking about conspiracies and the suppression of evidence. That's rich.
@BruschisBrewsky: It was all because someone lost Will's twenty-sided die. It kind of ruined the whole night.
sooo...when do pitchers and catchers report?
The squirel is on water skis!
@matt_t: Locking himself in the rental car trunk with a typewriter may not be an option this trip.
Will had them up all night telling slightly ribald tales of the Mattoon Green Wave.
NFL rule change in 1983: "A player may not use a helmet, that is no longer worn by anyone, as a weapon to strike or hit an opponent." Talk about sucking the life out of anything fun.
@daver4470: Arlen Specter is a waste. He's only doing this because he wasn't involved in the Mitchell Report.
@UkraineNotWeak: Now, that's a good infomercial.
@daver4470: Well, I'm convinced. Arlen Specter is nuts.
A-Rod buys the KC Royals and ruins media week in 5...4...3...2...
25 years?
Not 35 years?
It was my understanding there would be no math.
Just 53 Hours Until This Can All End
You should't take that much Cialis at once, Will!
