LSU Tramples Own Mascot Before Taking On Alabama
Pssst. Mike the Tiger. Look out! Poor Mike the Tiger, not that mascots are particularly deserving of respect—especially when the same school has a live, actual tiger for which you're just an avatar— but that's a rough start for somebody heading into the BIGGEST GAME EVAR....

Low-Budget Pitbull Imitator Produces Nauseating "Do The Mark Sanchez" Video
There aren't too many lyrics here, other than "do the Mark Sanchez," and "heart of a champion," so it's hard to dispute their words with statistical evidence.
