Emily Ratajkowski, a polish model/actress who has been in a Super Bowl commercial … what was this teacher thinking?… the life of a Super Bowl ticket broker … victory for Bubba the Love Sponge … truly excellent breakdown of NFL salaries by team and position … owner dumps dog because he thinks it is gay … look for this Ravens’ cheerleader during the Super Bowl … where Roger Goodell can’t eat or drink in New Orleans … a student at Yale Law School is angry … Baltimore vs. San Francisco, a tale of two cities … Jennie Finch is coming to the Pac-12 network … graffiti artist caught in the act …

OKC was the better team in November. That hasn’t changed. With Rudy in the lineup, it may have been even worse. Still love the deal. I also love conjecture…
I’m a fan of his, but dang this doesn’t look good at all.

February 1st, 2013 at 8:48 AM
Right after college a group of us backpacked around Europe. In Switzerland we rented scooters. Group in front of us got started by one kid flooring it and running straight into the building across the street and hurting himself. He then promptly walked his scooter back to return it immediately. We still rented them and it was fun but there were very scary moments like monster trucks passing you.
In summary, yes, never a good idea.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:48 AM
Hoping for a post on SB prop bets sometime today. Been perusing the cross-sports props this morning. So many crazy ones. (ex. Sergio’s final round score (-2.5) v. Torrey Smith rec. yards)

C’mon now. How often do you see a highlight and not make a conclusion that either the highlight is the best or the subject is the best…etc.
February 1st, 2013 at 8:53 AM
my cousin does (well used to do) a ton a graffiti here in cleveland, akron, detroit, etc…some of the art he did was really fucking awesome, but whooboy he had some stories about some sketchy shit. dodging cops, secruity, homeless, dogs, etc.

Just about every broken aspect of society is stagnant wages which is both a failure of unions and the need for more unions which makes things even more fucking confusing. Renting your wage you fucking cunts.

Do you mean avoid hard jail time, since he is still doing the work release thing. On a similar note, I had 2 friends that both got extreme DUIs in Phoenix. One had a high priced lawyer and was given work release jail time from Sunday to Sunday. The other guy lied about his income, got a public defendant lawyer and served a weekend.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:08 AM
This is an awesome prop. I’d take Torrey Smith without a doubt. He should be good for 80-ish yards in garbage time.

im not questioning the wonderment of her tush…it is a fine tush. legendary even.
i know im a wacko…i just can’t endorse someone, even with an ass like that, who’s real only skill is moving their body around in a way that looks kinda interesting(?) since obviously she’s not singing anymore.
and considering her voice is pretty blah and even after a fucking decade of professional singing she still is about as subtle with her vibrato as a jackhammer, that’s probably not a bad thing. i should stop complaining.

February 1st, 2013 at 9:16 AM
and considering her voice is pretty blah and even after a fucking decade of professional singing she still is about as subtle with her vibrato as a jackhammer,
I watched and listened to that deal yesterday where she sang the National Anthem and everybody is like, “looky there. Told you she can sing.” It wasn’t that great a rendition. I’ve got 70 year old ladies in church that can outsing her. They don’t have dat ass though.

My favorite prop bet is Under 18.5 yards for Randy Moss’ longest catch of the game
February 1st, 2013 at 9:25 AM
Apparently some of his friends that have already signed (or will sign this year with UGA) are recruiting him hard. If Liner comes to UGA then Foster will follow, That would probably get them Adams, too. I don’t think it will happen to be honest, but if it does UGA could sign four 5-star, top-30 players on signing day.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:26 AM

February 1st, 2013 at 9:30 AM
The Beyonce thing was a non-story. Oh, she lip synched to her own voice, the same as Whitney Houston did in the Super Bowl. She could sing, as she could always sing. She did a good job yesterday answering that question by showing instead of telling. The fact that she had to prove her self by singing that overrated, idiotic song is something else all together.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:30 AM

But Gus is really, really horrible.

The wording was a little strong but I don’t think simply as a song it’s anything special
/Team Soviet National Anthem
February 1st, 2013 at 9:33 AM
It’s a fair point. Why isn’t America the Beautiful the National Anthem? It’s 99999 times better and I’m not sure anyone would argue that.

February 1st, 2013 at 9:35 AM
I don’t know, he seemed pretty baffled when I said he was the worst broadcaster in sports, called me a clueless fan, then his cadre of twitter radicals called me racist and a faggot. So hopefully he works that into the questions.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:35 AM
Agree, but it’s way more than a song. I don’t consider myself overly patriotic, but I get goosebumps every time I hear the anthem live. No matter who sings it (non-Carl Lewis category).
February 1st, 2013 at 9:35 AM
Those things remain static, if anything they’d just shift the payout lines (or whatever the technical term is)…also like Frank Gore over 1.5 receptions, just two measley checkdowns and we have a winner
February 1st, 2013 at 9:36 AM
Favourite prop bet was the Christina Aguilera holding the note in the national anthem bet. Over because her boyfriend was an obvious fiend, there is no way they do not hear about the bet and with her ego it would be an obvious over and it was.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:36 AM

February 1st, 2013 at 9:41 AM
America The Beautiful should absolutely be our national anthem seeing as the sheet music for it is actually from an older song called “O Mother Dear, Jerusalem.” Would really drive home our bullshit support of Israel.

This is just awesome. For those who like to laugh at preseason CFB polls, this one’s for you.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:42 AM
I laughed.
I laughed even harder.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:42 AM
I hope you’re joking.

La Marseillaise is a great anthem. Dąbrowski’s Mazurka (Poland’s) is also great, right up there with the Soviet.
Though again, Algeria’s is the only anthem to mention machine guns, so it wins in a waltz.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:44 AM
Not at all. It’s no worse than the dopey British drinking song that Francis Scott Key commandeered.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:44 AM
I don’t know, he seemed pretty baffled when I said he was the worst broadcaster in sports, called me a clueless fan, then his cadre of twitter radicals called me racist and a faggot. Mole
Wow. He has minions doing his work for him? I am glad I don’t like the Twitter format and stay away from it most of the time.

I would also submit Woody Guthrie’s “This Land is your Land”.
I hope you’re joking.
Not at all. It’s no worse than the dopey British drinking song that Francis Scott Key commandeered.
I don’t like that song as a song. The lyrics are fine. That song was completely ruined for me when I saw Tom Morello (as the Nightwatchman!) sign it at a Wakarusa. Love me some Rage, but he is such a self-serving asshat.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:46 AM
I mean seriously read those lyrics, they take shots at the French in their fucking anthem, how great is that.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:46 AM
Algeria’s anthem reads like a Manowar song
February 1st, 2013 at 9:46 AM
Regardless of what the anthem is I think we can all agree that MLB needs to drop the God Bless America bunk during the 7th inning stretch

spencer, spencer, spencer, son, how do you not link this for the Soviet anthem instead?
February 1st, 2013 at 9:50 AM
Probably did, I beat the Algerian anthem drum pretty heavily. Would imagine this came up during the Olympics.

I don’t like it, but I also view it as a reminder that beer vendors are about to close up shop and to go get one (or two) more for the last two innings.
February 1st, 2013 at 9:51 AM
Absofuckinglutly
February 1st, 2013 at 9:51 AM
Especially considering the 7th inning is the last of beer sales at most parks

“Francis Scott OFF-Key”…not being able to control himself even after that terrible joke just added to the greatness of the moment
February 1st, 2013 at 9:54 AM
Probably the funniest moment in ESPN history right?
February 1st, 2013 at 9:55 AM
the Italian anthem cracks me up. goes from reverent, classical music to basically a bunch of people wildly shouting and hollerin’ at the end*
*no, I don’t understand Italian, why do you ask?

February 1st, 2013 at 9:58 AM
Absolutely. Best part is most of the actors in that scene were people who had fled Germany and Occupied France, so the scene was pretty damn genuine.

Sterling running him out of the Yankee radio booth to be replaced with Suzyn Waldman is one of the great tragedies of our time.

I am just as tired of the next guy, but I saw a promo for Dr. Phil’s interview with Ron Tuiasasopo… Wow he is fat! I think me and Mullet might have to retract our opinions that Manti was trading bj’s with this dude. Now I think Te’o was really catfished. This dude kinda even looks like a bloated catfish.
February 1st, 2013 at 10:04 AM
Wow it’s like reading the template they use here. My god.

I despise Berman, but there’s a great highlight of him doing a live shot at Candlestick right at the conclusion of the The Catch game. Some fan trys to interrupt and Berman just gives him a great forearm shiver and screams at him. He had some old brown ESPN blazer. Fantastic.

Also, the best national anthem is the Cajun national anthem, “Jolie Blon” (here performed by the greatest Cajun musician of all time, Nathan Abshire).
February 1st, 2013 at 10:18 AM
Haven’t been to a park that didn’t end sales after the 7th. Best park beer experience was a ChiSox/Tribe game with multiple rain delays which led to beer being sold for an additional hour or two. worst stadium beer experience was sales being cut off after halftime in Cleveland Browns stadium. Didn’t see it coming.
