As 2012 approaches its terminus, we are reflecting on the year that was. Here are some of our most popular posts from an eventful February.

The Giants Won The SuperBowl… Gisele Bundchen ripped her husband’s receivers for their dropped passes. Rob Gronkowski partied shirtless with LMFAO afterward. MIA gave America the middle finger during the halftime performance. Ryen Russillo and John “METCO Gorilla” Dennis had an altercation at ESPN’s Super Bowl Party. Maria Menounos lost a bet and ended up wearing a Giants bikini in Times Square.

Pitchers and Catchers…Spring Training was fun. Roy Halladay showed up in this hot rod. Lance Berkman rocked the Sgt. Slaughter look. We discovered Evan Longoria was not the only Tampa Bay Rays player dating a Playboy Playmate.

Linsanity…ESPN published an unfortunate “Chink in the Armor” headline on its mobile site. ESPN then overreacted by giving Max Bretos a month-long suspension for doing nothing wrong. Jason Whitlock had to apologize for a crude joke about Lin on Twitter.

Boston Royalty…Kevin Youkilis got engaged to Tom Brady’s sister. Bobby Valentine happened. Nine months later Kevin Youkilis is a New York Yankee.

Cartoon Arms… LaRon Landry has clearly spent some time in the gym, you guys.

Signing Day… BAMS Radio’s Alabama fax cam girl created quite a stir from the neck down.
