It’s time for the Super Bowl and the western part of the United States couldn’t be less interested in the outcome as this remix will pit the Giants against the Patriots. Both teams should consider themselves lucky to be in the big game as they were both a couple of plays away from sitting at home and watching the game on their ridiculously expensive TVs. The Giants escaped from San Francisco thanks to a couple crucial special teams errors by a rookie. The Patriots eked out a win over the Ravens thanks to a stellar defensive play (what?) and a missed chip-shot field goal at the end of regulation. Let’s break the game down and see if we can figure out who is going to win this. Continue reading

The New York Giants and New England Patriots are squaring off in a rematch of one of the most thrilling Super Bowls in NFL history. Television ratings and fan interest thanks to the presence of two large media markets should be sky high. Continue reading
Last night, Super-ginger and NBA star, Blake Griffin, did something no one should be able to do, nor should they do. It was so sick that you actually feel badly for the guy (Kendrick Perkins) whose name will now only be associated with Griffin trying to make the basketball part of Perkins’ anatomy.

Steven Tyler keeps getting shit for singing the National Anthem.
You didn’t ask Justin Beiber to sing the National Anthem. You asked Steven Tyler, from legendary Boston band Aerosmith. Continue reading
All right Jackasses. Here’s your football post. Continue reading
There is a saying in football: Offense sells tickets but defense wins championships. In the divisional round, two predominantly defensive teams overcame some high-powered offenses. The Giants went into Lambeau and dominated the Packers. The Niners beat the Saints in a 4th quarter shootout (wait what?). The Patriots handed the Broncos their asses in a blowout and the Ravens escaped with a victory over a very game (but inexperienced) Texans team. Continue reading
When I’m at the gym or just hanging out, I’ve been asked these questions more than a few times:
“What are you taking?”
“What are you on?”
“What’s your secret?”
“Are you on steroids?”
Now of course I’m not on steroids, and some of these questions just make me go “Huh?” There is no secret! But I do take advantage of supplements as part of my fitness regimen. Continue reading
On January 5 and 6, 13 of my friends and I climbed into two 12-passenger vans and ran from Miami to Key West. This race is part of the Ragnar Relay Series.
Here’s how it works: Teams of 12 people are split up into two vans – van 1 and van 2. The 13th and 14th people are the van drivers. It’s not required to have a separate driver, but it’s nice to not have to worry about running and driving all hours of the night.
Each runner has three distances (legs) to complete. Total distances ranged from 10 miles to 22 miles. My first leg was 3 miles, my second was 8.2 and my final leg was 3 miles. Runners 1-6 are in van 1 and runners 7-12 are in van 2. After each leg, runners hand off a slap bracelet to the next runner. Continue reading
I mentioned this play during Saturday’s NFL Open Thread:
Should San Francisco 49ers quarterback Alex Smith have scored the go-ahead touchdown against the New Orleans Saints? Maybe not. Continue reading
I’ll be brief since Houston is already blowing it against Baltimore. Later tonight, the Giants will probably break my heart. Continue reading
