With all the whining and crying about Tim Tebow’s Super Bowl ad, you’d think he was promoting the bombing of abortion clinics. But it turns out, of course, that the ad was completely harmless. In fact, if you hadn’t read about this ad for the past couple of weeks, would you have even known what the hell it was for? Other than making Tebow look like a humongous dork, there is absolutely nothing to remember about this ad. Was he fucking serious jumping up like that behind his mom? Now that I’m thinking about it, the whole thing is kind of creeping me out.
Call me crazy but I would way rather see this dude be the hitting coach for the Cards than juicy Mac. Not to mention he could be the team heckler. Baseball needs a dude like this.
If there’s one thing I like to see, it’s people falling down and hurting themselves. If that person happens to be in a big, ridiculous mascot costume, even better. There’s a little padding on those things, so I feel fine laughing no matter how hard the fall. The weekend is just a few hours away, so hopefully this will put you in an even better mood. Enjoy videos of mascots falling and failing all over the place.
If you think that Tomlinson’s best days are behind him, you certainly aren’t alone.
SAN DIEGO (AP)—LaDainian Tomlinson says he believes he has played his last game with the San Diego Chargers.
The running back told The San Diego Union-Tribune on Thursday that he has thought for a while he would be let go by the Chargers.
The NFL’s most valuable player in 2006 has two years remaining on his contract. He is due a $2 million roster bonus March 5 and would be paid $5 million in total salary in 2010.
You didn’t need to watch the Jets beat the Chargers in the playoffs to know that Tomlinson is finished; you could have gleamed that simply by watching him run the ball this season. LT wound up with a 3.3 yard-per-carry average this year, which anyone will tell you is pretty atrocious. He’s set to make a lot of money next season, so it makes sense for the Chargers to let him go and draft a running back (sorry, Sproles isn’t an every-down back).
It’s nice to see some self-awareness on the part of Tomlinson. Sure, he has been known to sulk from time to time, but he really comes off as a pretty classy guy – no off-field problems, ever – and has given the Chargers years of incredible production. He’s one of the best ever at his position, but nobody can run away from age and bodily wear and tear.
My prediction: part of the Patriots’ backfield committee.
What the hell is this? Just from looking at the picture, it looks like this vet lost a lot more than his eye. It’s not just his eyeball that’s been replaced, but the entire fleshy area around the eye and maybe part of his orbital, too. Pretty gnarly.
Nobody can question his team allegiance, and I guess he’s lucky he’s a Dodger fan – the blue from the logo actually looks halfway decent. If he were a Pirates fan, he’d be shit out of luck. I mean, he ‘d look like a total freak with a black and gold eye. Blue Dodger eye, though? Classy.
Anyway, the first thing I thought of when I saw this was, “Tommy Lasorda uses Twitter?”
You may or may not have heard that the Big Red team of Cornell Basketball has gotten their first top 25 ranking in over 59 years. It’s definitely an achievement for the 18-3 squad. It was also the first time in over ten years that an ivy league school made the poll (Princeton did it in 1997-98).
So clearly this school has a lot to cheer about as they’ll most definitely be representing in the NCAA Tourney. Who else benefits? Obviously the cheerleaders do. The nation will now have a chance to see the smart women of Cornell doing their cheering thing on the sidelines.
And for an ivy league school that would seem to house the no so pretty type of female, the ladies of this cheering team are not bad, not bad at all.
P.S. They are very flexible. Pics after the jump
As promised, here is the Bob Knight highlight reel. The guy is an absolute spaz and also highly entertaining. I can’t imagine the fear that some of these reporters felt when he went after them. The best part is the beginning when Steve Alford is just sitting there during the rant. Even he looks petrified!
