It's the week before the Super Bowl, which means that our inbox is getting flooded with stupid press releases.

The Hater's Guide To Ray Lewis
It’s not exactly daring to hate Ray Lewis. Facebook data show that most people are rooting for the 49ers to win the Super Bowl, and I’m sure “FUCK RAY LEWIS” has a lot to do with that.

Ray Lewis Would Prefer You Stop Asking Questions About His Murder Case, Because "This Is God's Time"

Help! Get! This! Ravens! Cheerleader! To! The! Super! Bowl!
