The End Of The World Will Be Announced By Pat Kiernan
About three minutes into 4:44 Last Day on Earth, an extremely indulgent and stupid movie that opens tomorrow and that you should absolutely not see, NY1 anchor Pat Kiernan stares into the camera and prepares us all to die. If the world is gonna end, if we're all gonna go out together, if that's how ...
Here Are Some Angry Letters People Sent To The FCC After M.I.A. Flipped Off The Super Bowl
Maybe this doesn't need to be said, but normal people don't complain to the FCC. It's not that they don't get offended: it's just that it takes a hell of a lot more to offend them than the sort of thing that actually makes it on television. Like M.I.A. slipping a middle finger past NBC censors. Not ...
Peyton Manning Watch: Decisions, Decisions, Decisions
Lost in all the madness of the tournament this weekend (it was lost to me, anyway) is that Peyton Manning is whittling his options down and my sources tell me he has it down to three teams: the Tennessee Titans, the Denver Broncos and the San Francisco 49ers....

New 49ers Stadium Will Now Cost $1.2 Billion Thanks To Stuff That Doesn't Exist Yet
Last season was a major step forward for the San Francisco 49ers, who advanced to the NFC Championship despite having a rookie head coach, no star wide receivers, and Alex Smith as QB1. Now they've signed Randy Moss to a one-year deal and maybe Peyton Manning will end up by the bay (though probably ...

Mitt Romney Explains Super Bowl 46 In The Stiffest Way Imaginable
Mitt appeared on our friend Paul Finebaum's show today and talked football like an average American! To wit: "This last Super Bowl was a hard one to take. A catch in the final moments, which was a spectacular catch, dashed our hopes once again." See, definitely not a robot! [NYT]...
Long Beach State Is Going Dancing
The Long Beach State 49ers played five teams in the RPI's top 25 this season in their out-of-conference schedule. They lost all of them, sure, but at least in this instance the burnishing of losses to quality teams prepared Dan Monson's squad for the tangled mayhem of Big West rivalries....
Ben Henderson Severely Messed Up Frankie Edgar's Face En Route To Winning The UFC Lightweight Belt
In one of UFC's better title fights of late, Benson Henderson claimed the lightweight belt as he won a unanimous decision over Frankie Edgar at UFC 144 in Tokyo Saturday night. His ability to seize victory came in no small part to this perfectly-placed second-round upkick that mangled Edgar's face,...

Él Es Fiesta: Sterling Moore Went To IHOP Just Two Days After Losing The Super Bowl
This soon after a heartbreaking loss, It is an insult to every long-suffering fan for a player to go to a reasonably priced national chain. Perhaps Moore should be spending a little more time thinking about what more he could have done to help his team on Super Bowl Sunday, and a little less time ea...
Boston Glee Party: Brandon Spikes Is Joking Around With Fans Just Five Days After Losing The Super Bowl
Just another example of professional athletes not knowing the proper way to act after a loss, as established by Rodney Harrison.

Sunshine Patriot: Chad Ochocinco Sure Looks Happy Just Five Days After Losing The Super Bowl

Angelina From <em>Jersey Shore</em> Says Ahmad Bradshaw "Is A Hot Black"
It's that time of the week when Super Bowl analysis starts to devolve into silliness, isn't it? Thank the stars TMZ is there to counterbalance things with some serious, well-sourced reporting:...
Vince Wilfork Straight Up Told The Refs They Blew A Call In New England's Favor
It goes without saying (and yet bears repeating) that NFL Films does an incredible job. Their weekly Sound FX packages, where selected players are mic'ed up for the game (like Tebow!), are slick and entertaining, but above all insightful....
The Stupidest Tweets Of The Super Bowl
There are people who watch the Super Bowl despite not knowing shit about football. This much is obvious. If these people are smart (which they are, inevitably, not, else they'd know something about football) they keep their mouths shut....
Toilet Use In NYC Jumped 13 Percent In The Immediate Aftermath Of The Super Bowl
It wasn't enough to overwhelm the sewage system, but according to the city's Department of Environmental Protection, the surge caused the water level at a nearby reservoir to drop by two inches. Which means a lot of fans were holding much more than just their breath....
Rodney Harrison Is An Idiot. Let Rob Gronkowski Dance!
You may have seen this video of Pats tight end Rob Gronkowski and tackle Matt Light, fresh off of losing the Super Bowl, doing what I would be probably be doing if I just lost the biggest game of my life: getting shitfaced, dancing shirtless, and trying to get laid. But of course, Rodney Harrison do...
Those Super Bowl Sniper Photos Are Real
Yesterday we posted photos of what appeared to be a sniper's nest in Lucas Oil Field, home of the Super Bowl, but were at a loss for the pictures' provenance. They're real, and they're basically an ad for the tripod....
