Inside the Sparty & Friends production meeting:

Sparty: Gentlemen, the NFL season is now over.  We need to come up with post ideas to get us through this difficult month on the sports calender.
GatorTrey: Well, at least we have the Winter Olympics this year.
Sparty: Can the United States win the medal count?
Patphish: Not a chance. All of our “athletes” hate the cold.
GITC: That’s for sure. I think all of our Winter guys went to Duke.
Sparty: Brain first, then speak.
Miz: When will deer huntin’ become an Olympic Sport?
Sparty: You think I want to watch some dude sit in a tree blind for 4 hours and do nothing but get drunk and stroke his barrel?
Miz: Yes?
Sparty: Mikey, what can you throw together?  Mikey?  Are you there?
Big D: Guys, I am unemployed right now, so there is no way I can write any posts.
Sparty: Wait, what? You only average one post a week as it is during the football season.
Big D: Yeah, I need to get a job.
GITC: The NBA All-Star game is coming up!
Sparty: Is it in Vegas?
GITC: No, they put it in…
Sparty: /doesn’t give a shit.
JP: I can throw up a Jay-Z Video a few times a week
Sparty: *glares*
GatorTrey: I have plenty of material I can pull out of my ass, I got it covered boss.
Sparty: Stop sucking up.  And tell your wife to get busy writing about the Westminster Dog Show.
Patphish: You spelled hunting wrong.
Sparty: When you put more than 3 words in a sentence on Sunday’s TMA, then you can speak up.
Mizerle06: Did you know that College Football was a warm weather sport?
Sparty: No, why don’t you write a post about it?
Mizerleo6: I am still compiling data.
Sparty: What gets you off more? A pie graph, or a spreadsheet?
Mizerle06: mmmmmm, pie graph.
HuskerDawg:: I can write about how the SEC recruiting went.
Sparty: You know that there are other conferences, right?
HuskerDawg: Other what?
Sparty: *shakes head* Mikey, what’s going on? Mikey? Dude? *pokes with ruler*
So basically you all suck?
GITC: Like Paul Pierce
GatorTrey: Nah, Like 2002 Maryland.
Sparty: +1.  meeting adjourned. This was worthless, like half my email requests. Someone wheel Mikey out.

You thought there was just one Manning Face?  And, yes.  That is the actual  name of that website. (Muff Slap)

SAE linked to it yesterday in the comments, but worth repeating.  Bud Selig is going to be honored with a statue at Miller Park.  (Fanhouse)

The Celtics are old, but Rajon Rondo is a stud.  I am totally down with “the Clinic” as a nickname (Red’s Army)

Drew Brees was an underdog that finally won it all.  I guess. (The Scores Report)

Only a couple real stink-fests thanks to the 2000 Giants and 2002 Raiders.  We had a pretty good decade for Super Bowls.  I mentioned to Trey that the best thing about New Orleans winning is that I didn’t have to revisit the best of the decade list. (Sportz Assassin)

Dungy coaching tree overrated? I think there are truly only two dominant ones in the NFL, and those are the Parcells tree, and the Walsh tree.   I didn’t even know that Dungy had a tree. (Midwest Sports Fans)

The Yanks are now locks for the World Series (Major League Jerk)

I promise we won’t look as pale when we all get together in Gainesville (Hef’s Twitpics).

If he takes Rich Eisen’s job, I will never watch NFL Network again.  There is no better in-studio host than Eisen, except maybe Chris Fowler. (The Big Lead)

M*A*S*H finally goes down (LA Times)

High School paper questions discrepency between athlete and other student discipline.  Paper is confiscated by administration. (QC Times)

And I just don’t know (possibly NSFW)
