NFL News:
- The NFL has chosen Gene “Index Card” Steratore to be the Super Bowl referee.
- So expect at least 25 penalties, so he can get plenty of screen time.
- And at least one replay involving the legitimacy of a catch.
- NBC should hire Dez Bryant & Megatron for the afternoon.
Lane Johnson of the Eagles, he of the post-game dog mask, has turned the idea into a fundraising t-shirt, and has raised more than $55,000 for the Phildelphia school district.
- In addition, Amazon has sold out of the masks.
- Which the stadium authority has said people will be able to wear into and around the stadium on Sunday.
- Because the idea of masked, drunken Eagles fans doesn’t scare anyone, especially police horses.

- In addition, Amazon has sold out of the masks.
- By sheer coincidence, Minnesota travel agencies are warning people that being a Vikings fan in Philly will be taking your life into your own hands.
- “If the Vikings win, yes, I would take off any sort of, like, colors. I know it sounds ridiculous like we’re almost talking about gangs here, but it’s no joke down in Philly. It really isn’t.”
- Todd Haley’s replacement as Pittsburgh’s OC will be QB coach Randy Fichtner.
- Mike Munchak will stay as offensive line coach.
- And it all started with Bills fans…
- Because of reasons, Vikings fans have donated over $100,000 to Saints punter Thomas Morstead’s children’s charity, What You Give Will Grow, since Sunday’s game.

Finally, your long-read of the day is from Peter King’s word pit, and is about the 35-year friendship between Nick Saban and Bill Belichick.
- It dates back to 1982, when Nick Saban worked for Steve Belichick at Navy.
- They met when the coach invited the new assistant over for dinner, and Bill was visiting from the Giants.
- It then recounts the times the two of them have gotten together over the years to talk football.
- Because they both think the same way.
- Really, having read this fawning tripe top-to-bottom, you can choose to interpret their “friendship” any number of ways.
- Rather than taking the usual “same demons; different cauldron” tack, I’m going coming-of-age movie.
- Their unrequited love of football, and each other, can’t keep them apart despite the distance of geography and time.
- Rather than taking the usual “same demons; different cauldron” tack, I’m going coming-of-age movie.

Seamus has you tomorrow night for teh sexy, and Saturday night while I’m off at an indie wrestling event. I’ll see you Sunday during the games, and we can all commiserate on Monday about the upcoming Patriopocalypse that will be Super Bowl 52. DAMMIT!
Drove a Chevy Bolt for the first time tonight. Honestly, other than the width being tight inside, it was fucking awesome.
Great. Thanks to Obamacare my tax refund will be practically zero. It’s also a nice reminder of how obscenely expensive my health insurance is, but it’s not like I have a real choice in the matter.
Well, thanks to Trumpcare, your tax refund should be enough to cover it.
Ron Howard: It wasn’t.
Oh, yeah. I can’t wait to eat shit when that comes around.
Am I the only one that thinks Anna Kendrick is amazingly hot?
Odds are you’re not alone
I just did a search. The results may surprise you!
Anna Kendrick is a reincarnated Ancient Egyptian goddess. I’ll fight anyone who says otherwise.
The short answer is “no”.
The long answer will have to wait while I wank it to this photo.
Ice… Rams? I don’t know what to refer to LA’s hawkey teams these days, just took a five-minute major for boarding and a game misconduct. Ice Stillers up 2-1 in the third, with a lot of power play time.
Right as I get up. smgdh
Kings = Rams
Ducks = Chargers.
Although, you could make a case for the Kings being the Ice Chargers since they share a building with the Lakers & Clippers.
Still cornfused.
So, in between dealing with dueling babies trying to out-cry each other tonight, I managed to catch bits and pieces of White House Down. Pointless, mindless, and complete Die Hard rip-off, but, actually a lot of fun. It’s a Good Movie That Sucks. It was also quite enjoyable to see Liam McPoyle (pictured) as a hacker/terrorist who doesn’t understand how explosives work.
Are you going to teach your babies how to play banjo so they can duel that way?
Bass guitar, like their old man. The standard, of course, is Geddy Lee and/or John Entwistle. If they each that level by age 17, they’re paying for college on their own.
Turkish Airlines is currently running a promo of 15% off the fare if you book through their app. So I decided I’ll be going to Athens over Thanksgiving this year, woo!
Don’t spend too much time in Athens. It’s kind of a shit hole. The rest of Greece is quite lovely.
Gentlemen, I just played racquetball for the first time in, oh, 5-7 years.
My back is going to be fucked tomorrow.
I l love racquetball. I wish my knees would allow me to play it these days.
I was a little more worried about my heart and lungs.
At least you survived. The last time I played I thought my heart was going to explode.
But it didn’t.
True. Very true.
I’m going to start going to a boxing gym as soon as I get my finances in order.
Kids are finally asleep. Why did I do this again?
Children: the worst sexually-transmitted disease.
Slow night
Did everyone overreact to Tom Brady not practicing today already?
I hope I didn’t drink so much I made an ass of myself. Also, that this job opening thing pans out.
Good luck with job stuff!
Thanks.
Here’s a good idea: challenge the most-senior officer or other person to a Wild Turkey 101 drinking challenge. If you win, you’ll be a shoe-in for the jorb!
How many fucking lawyers do we got around here!?!?
Who was the 16th president? Who shitcanned McClellen? Who freed the slaves?
MISTER ABRAHAM LINCOLN !
More like Baberaham Lincoln, amirite?
NFL Network is rerunning the Vikings-Saints game. There’s 1:29 left in the 4th in case you forgot what happened at the end of the game.
I’d forgotten how bad Keenum was at the end of the game. He must have had a horseshoe up his ass on that last drive.
Smoothie time!
What was up with that whistle in Columbus? Delayed penalty, team never touched but they blew it dead. No Dallas player nearby to force the touch, could have killed 10 seconds easy.
3-2 Ice GIants! W000!
New Jersey player is named Miles Wood. That’s just cruel, how can you expect him to live up to that. Also Taylor Hall is pretty good, the type of player you can only get from drafting and will never be available in a trade. Oh wait…
Ice Cowboys tie it at 1’s with 2:05 left in regulation time in the Ice Buckeyes barn. WOOOO!
Overtime tree on tree hawkee!
Choot-out, downcha’know!
Ice Cowboys shoot-out loss … FUCK!
Oh what a hearty chuckle I would have if the Senators traded Matt Duchene at the deadline, to Nashville.
Ice Pats are beating the Ice Jets pretty hard. It’s 4-1, but play is 70% Bruins.
The Islanders should play on Atlantis, because they are sinking to the bottom of the Atlantic.
(Yes, I know they’re in the Metropolitan division, but there’s no Atlantis joke for that)
The Ice Giants should be up by more than 1 on the Ice Bills.
Well fuck.
I prefer ALL THE SCORZING in my iceball games but this Ice Cowboys at the Ice Buckeyes barn is just 1 – 0 home suqad but it is still really good! Much fun times good!
Saban+Belichick shippers got this covered.
Scotchnaut Story Time:
Many, many years ago my daddio engaged in some business practices that exploited a grey area of the law. That said, I was driving a 5-ton truck without a proper licence with 30k in cash packed inside an empty case of Molson Canadian. I missed an off ramp and began backing up. I hit a vehicle behind me that was so small that I couldn’t see it from from my side-view mirrors.
Scared shitless, I got out of the truck and looked at the damage with the driver of the vehicle that was behind me. This was in the early days of cell phones and I happened to have one. I told the guy that I would call the police and went back to the front of the truck. I’m completely fucked-30k in cash in the truck and an invalid driver’s licence?
I grabbed $2,000 dollars in cash (I did’nt call the police) and wandered back to the scene. I asked the guy, “How much do you figure this will cost you to get it fixed? $150?” He said, “It’ll be at least $400”. I said, “If I gave you $400 we’ll be square?” He nodded, ‘yes’. I pulled out that wad of cash and gave him the $400. He saw how much money I had and said, “Wait a second!” I ran back to my truck after yelling, “A DEAL’S A DEAL!”
/I took off
//I lived happily ever after
Artist’s Conception of scotchy running back to truck…
I WAS IN SHAPE BACK THEN!!!!
/also, there is no shit stain on Patrick’s underwear
ON AN OPEN ROAD, NED!
If I’d known I was making it such that you could go to wrestling, I’d have said “no”.
😛
Somebody might need to card the girl on the bottom right.
That’s why I’m going.
Would you like to take a seat over there?
The Tackling Violent Crime Act raises the legal age of sexual consent in Canada to 16 from 14, the first time it has been raised since 1892.
Luckily, I’m just going for the wrestling.
He was fired for having an affair with a staffer 20 years younger than him.
In case you thought it was because To Catch A Predator was “useless for law enforcement purposes” and “exposed NBC to millions of dollars worth of liability” and “was counterproductive to the efforts of both law enforcement and more professional anti-pedophile vigilantes.”
Take that, Hogan! You steroid-abusing, anti-union scab, SLAPP-happy, disgusting piece of runny diarrhea shit fleck.
I saw Frank Black at the Commodore Ballroom. Lotta pot smoke.
I didn’t realize Rom Jeremy was wrestling these days.
I like how we are being distracted from the investigation into whether our President conspired with Russia to sabotage the election by the fact that our President raw-dogged a porn star and then paid her hush money (siphoned off from his charitable foundation, I’m expecting to find out).
Hello bitches!
Andrew McCutchen is Frisco-bound, and my word, does the Castro have a new token wank!
What about four? In like, three weeks? While you prepare to battle Cal for the rights to share last in the conference with WSU?
#TBT
Kevin Sumlin is a great catch at a weird time.
I have no clue what that will bring. If he can turn Tate into a darker and more grounded Manziel, I’ll take it. But what do I know? I wanted Todd Graham.

I know there’s a lot of talk today about Brady’s hand and how the Jaguars should target it and try to knock him out of the game, but I think that’s crap. They need to stay focused and keep their eyes on the real prize: his ACL.
Kill the head and the body will diiiiiiiiieeeee!
