Yesterday was Super Bowl Media Day, and unlike its usual overrated setup, there really wasn’t much of the hype that past games have received. Probably because everyone is pretty sure the Steelers are going to win the game, or because there is no player on either team that is worth the moderate fans’ attention, or because both cities are not really major markets. There is one story worth mentioning, Tampa still has strip clubs. Not just any ol’ skin bars, they have very little rules, and wierd names. So TotalProSports asks, “Who will be this year’s Eugene Robinson in Tampa?“
Speaking of Tampa strip clubs…You always get doozy stories like this. Now with mug shotty goodness!
Great 80s hit…turned worst Super Bowl song ever.
ELLLLLLLLLL TEEEEEEEEEE…He’s never healthy anyway…I’m no NFL owner, but I’m guessing it probably wasn’t a smart move to consult your fanbase when making a major coaching decision.
Futbol?…Looks like Beckham might be staying in Europe for £4.5m. Whatever that is in American…I’m sure it can be converted to mean Beckhamania, which never started, is likely over.
FUTBOL?… Brazilian soccer star Adriano, of Inter-Milan was suspended for not throwing a punch…
With starting SG Mickael Pietrus back, the Magic rolled…but Mo Williams certainly stole the showfor the night in the Cavs win…The rest of your over night scores.
So I guess he was the Franchise…Steve Francis waived, he was once good. I best remember Stevie Francis as the guy we traded T-Mac for. Not because our (hockey player turned) General Manager thought he was good, but because he liked the way he hit another player during a fight.
He’s not just Junior anymore…Griffey back in Seattle? Probably a bad deal for them, but they need to sell tickets too.
He’s lying! HE’S LYING!…I’m completely convinced Kirk Radomski is not telling the complete story. There’s some truth there, but nah…
Thanks to the power of an appeal, Kelvin Sampson might be available for YOUR NCAA head coaching position soon…I’m looking at you GITC. Get it? Cause Maryland lost again. I don’t mean to be an ass. Sorry. Texas beat Baylor and Purdue took down Wisconsin and their head coach, John Voight…I mean Bo Ryan.
Ever wonder what a buzzer beating tipped 3 pointer looks like? No. Well you’ll have to watch anyways.
And if you’re into that Spike has put together the 10 best Super Bowl commercials ever.
That being said, the commercials are nothing compared to…PUPPY BOWL! What is Puppy Bowl? Well Deadspin has live blogged it. It has pulled some of the best ratings on Super Bowl Sunday. My wife is a sucker for this show, and I’ll admit, the dog lover in me has me watching every once and awhile…ya that’s it.

tipped 3 link is actually the Eugene Robinson story

when are we going to get this right. It is LdT, not LT. There will only be one LT in the NFL, and that my friend was Lawrence Taylor.

LdT > LT

I disagree, when your nickname is your initials, open game.

Charlie Brown? Is he the one with two colored eyes?
Not that I looked.
(Quote)
You are correct sir.
(Quote)
You might want to check that. Charlie Brown is listed as questionable with a touch of kennel cough. Game time decision.

I love the puppy bowl. I know, it’s crazy. But, my dog was picked for the first one when she was about 4 months old. We got her from a rescue organization in December, and they called us back a month later to see if she could be in it. My dog rocks.
(Quote)
It’s not Gary. Last night the guys just started missing shots in the second half. It’s really more frustrating than a normal game as a fan. They were getting open looks and watching the ball rattle out. And Landon Milbourne decided to forget how to cover backdoor cutters.

Puppy bowl is pure genius. Watch it for 2 seconds and 8 minutes later you’re still watching. Reality television at it’s best.

my old dog, Neo, would have just looked for the first boxer and went after him. don’t know why, but he hated boxers.

Am I the only one who watched Purdue vs Wisconsin? It was a heck of a good game.
(Quote)
I watched the end of it. Wisconsin just doesn’t have a go to guy.

Neo was probably racist.
(Quote)
miz- ironically, he was. flipped out at black people.

I think all of the dogs on the show are rescue dogs. They called the director of the rescue we worked with and she recommended our dog. But our dog was the rescue poster child for a while on adoptions.
I did have a racist dog when I was a kid. It was pretty funny…. My brother and I were the only 2 white kids in our grade school. My dog hated all of my friends. It was pretty funny, actually. except, it wasn’t.

I agree with spart it’s LdT
Also I kind of disagree with the lack of a major market. While it’s true that Pittsburgh in itself isn’t a major market you can’t deny that the Steelers don’t have one of the biggest fan bases in the league
Also Fitz is worth the attention of the moderate fan
(Quote)
Anyone see if Fitz’s dad asked him any questions yesterday? I didn’t see any media day coverage.

Johnny- i don;t know about that. The people that are Steelers fans are die hard, but truth be told, I don’t know many.

Is there such a thing as a die hard Cardinals fan?…besides friends and family of the players.

Number two is funny. I’m sure Warner loves the fact that he looks exactly like the other guy…

kwsn,
extra hour on the commute this morning (1″ of snow)
watched the second half of purdue-wisc. purdue just wasn’t missing open shots, and we gave a lot of those up. a go to guy would be nice. although our freshman Taylor (#11) is looking pretty good
(Quote)
Purdue is 16-0 when giving up 63 points or less. 0-4 when giving up 64+. Good teams are supposed to make their open shots. Wisconsin isn’t playing as good on the defensive end this year for whatever reason. They miss Flowers?
(Quote)
might be Flowers, haven’t been able to put my finger on it yet.
