The Ultimate Super Bowl Dip Playoffs
The Super Bowl is about three things, in no particular order because that's not the riot we're here to start today: 1. The Football 2. The Commercials 3. The Food. Maybe The Halftime Show too, but that mostly depends on whether or not we get to see some nipple action....
Kevin Durant Is Inevitable
The Thunder played a basketball game last night, and that means that Kevin Durant did something amazing.

Brandon Jacobs Nonchalantly Calls Jim Harbaugh A "Bitch"
Via Bob's Blitz, former 49ers and Giants RB Brandon Jacobs called into Boomer & Carton this morning, and Jacobs has no love lost for his old coach in San Francisco. I love how he just slips it in toward the end of his hit. "I got two rings, and Harbaugh, he's a bitch, so it doesn't matter."...
