The Funniest Thing You Will Ever See (today)

Businessweek Names Peyton Manning Most Powerful Athlete In The World (except in the playoffs)

Businessweek has named Peyton Manning the most powerful athlete in the world. Umm...they obviously dont use on-field performance as criteria.

Im going to guess they took into consideration his pending contract (which is expected to be the biggest contract in the history of the NFL) and endorsement deals.  Which leaves me thinking...so friggin what.

For what its worth, a few days ago GQ magazine named Tom Brady as one of the coolest athlete of all time.

Kevin Garnett "KG1 Beat LA" Green Suede Sneakers Revealed

You might not know this but Kevin Garnett left Adidas last year and signed a deal with ANTA, a Chinese based sneaker company.

Well, today ANTA revealed the "KG 1 Beat LA” signature sneaker for Kevin Garnett.  As of right now the sneakers arent being sold to the public, but stay tuned.

There is some buzz than Garnett will wear these sneakers during the game on Sunday against the lakers.  I dont know...I really cant see Garnett wearing suede shoes during a game.

Note the tongue of the sneaker. 152-120 is a reference to the Celtics all time record against the Lakers.

Ive seen some good half time entertainment and some lame half time entertainment. This is probably the sickest half time entertainment Ive ever seen:

(it happens at the 1:30 mark)

Former Bruin Derek Sanderson Listed Among GQ's Coolest Athletes of All Time

Derek Sanderson made GQ's list of "coolest athletes of all time." Yes, THAT Derek Sanderson...of the Bruins.

I have no idea what GQ’s criteria is for choosing their “coolest athletes of all time” but Im going to guess that hair has something to do with it.

Seriously, they probably just found Derek Sanderson's hockey card and decided that because he looks kinda like Tom Brady with a mustache that he qualifies.

When's the last time you actually uttered the name Derek Sanderson anyway?  Dont get me wrong, he looks friggin awesome in his hockey card.

And he is an all time Bruin great, so as a Bruins fan we love him. But the man struggled with addiction and ended up penniless. He wasnt exactly the kinda guy who you would want in your circle of friends.

Kinda makes you wonder about the criteria for this list and what makes someone cool. I mean the list includes someone with a gambling problem (Michael Jordan), soneone with a criminal record (Allen Iverson) and a pot head (Tim Lincecum).

GQ defines itself as a “monthly men's magazine focusing on fashion, style, and culture for men.”

So lets see...Tom Brady has two kids with two different women and is married to a supermodel who keeps his balls in her purse, dresses him and makes him wear his hair long.

Derek Sanderson was an alcoholic who ended up penniless at one point in his life then turned to broadcasting to get back on track.

But they both have great hair so they make the list! WTF are those people over at GQ smoking?

Im not going to get into who should and shouldn’t have made the list. The whole point of lists like this is to get people talking and to get into lame debates. I refuse to be baited into such a lame argument.

But you have to wonder how GQ defines "cool."

Yankees GM Brian Cashman Admits Yankee Universe Is In Shambles...Says Red Sox Are Better Than Yankees

Yesterday Brian Cashman told WFAN in New York that Derek Jeter will likely play center field for the Yankees some day. He also told fans during a question and answer session with that the Red Sox are better than the Yankees.

According to WEEI:

"Cashman was asked by a local radio host who had the better squad without the Yanks adding another starter. The general manager replied, 'Red Sox. They’ve got guys they can run 1 through 6, and I’m looking for a fourth.' He later said 'The biggest problem we have right now is I need a starting pitcher. Everybody knows that. I’m going to work on trying to get that.'"

Seems as though things are really falling apart over there in Yankee Universe.

Isnt it great watching the Yankees empire crumble like a cookie (to use a Mayor Tom Menino phrase).

Video From Josh Beckett's Wedding Surfaces On Youtube

So, here is the video that everyone’s been talking about. It’s from Josh Beckett and Holly Fishers wedding.

The creepy thing is that theres a chubby guy who keeps popping up in the video who looks like a fat version of Josh Beckett. Im not sure if Josh Beckett gained about 80 pounds or if he has a fat brother.

Anyway, you don’t see Josh Beckett and Holly Fisher dancing until the 2:45 mark.

Jets' Sanchez And Edwards Popped Champagne And Partied All Night After Loss To Steelers

While Jets fans were home beating their wives and pounding cans of Budweiser to help them forget about their teams loss to the Steelers on Sunday, Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez and wide receiver Braylon Edwards were out celebrating.

The two were seen at a New York club called Juliet until about 4:30am Monday sipping champagne and buying rounds of tequila shots….after LOSING to the Steelers.

According to the NY Post, Braylon Edwards arrived at Juliet at 2:30 a.m. with six others. He took a table and immediately ordered a round of tequila shots and a $1,100 bottle of Ace of Spades Champagne.

Ummm…arent you supposed to celebrate after a WIN? The Jets know they lost right? Am I missing something here? Who the frig buys a $1,100 bottle of champagne after a loss?

Rex Ryan was probably sitting at home eating a “goddam snack” or out at Taco Bell making love to beef burrito or something. And that’s what you should do after a loss.

This is just proof that this Jets team will never win a Super Bowl. You heard it here first.

The Most Disturbing Thing You Will Ever See (today)

If Steelers Win Super Bowl, Roethlisberger Will Have As Many Super Bowl Rings As Tom Brady...But More Rape Accusations

That’s right. If the Steelers win Super Bowl XLV, Ben Roethlisberger will have three Super Bowl rings…as many Super Bowl rings as Tom Brady. Ouch.

But Roethlisberger will always have more rape accusations than Brady. As of right now, its Roethlisberger 2, Brady 0.

(VIDEO) Mark Sanchez Picks Nose And Wipes It On Teammate

Just more proof that Mark Sanchez is a douche. And if your curious, the teammate was backup quarterback Mark Brunell. Not only does that dude backup Mark Sanchez, he acts as his snot rag. What a life.

Odds To Win Super Bowl XLV

As of right now, the Green Bay Packers are the favorite to win Super Bowl XLV (by 2.5 points).

Whats strange is that before the playoffs started, the Steelers had the better odds to win the Super Bowl.

And this is why I don’t gamble on sports.

Odds to win Super Bowl XLV:

New England Patriots 13/10
Atlanta Falcons 5/1
Pittsburgh Steelers 5/1
Chicago Bears 10/1
Green Bay Packers 10/1
New Orleans Saints 12/1
Philadelphia Eagles 12/1
Baltimore Ravens 15/1
Indianapolis Colts 18/1
New York Jets 25/1
Kansas City Chiefs 40/1
Seattle Seahawks 150/1

Bruins Make Avalanche Look Like A Bunch Of Little Bitches

The Bruins made the Avalanche look like a bunch of little bitches yesterday. They showed more effort than we've seen in a while.

Brad Marchand had two goals and two assists and now has 11 goals on the season...more than "rookie phenom" Tyler Seguin.

Tim Thomas got the win and is now 23-4-6. Which begs the question--why do the Bruins seems to play hard when Tim Thomas is in net and dont show up when Tukka Rask is in net.

Idiots To Reunite In Florida: Rays Sign Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon For Combined Total Of 7.25 Million

For a total of $7.25 million, the Rays have signed both Manny Ramirez and Johnny Damon. Damon's contract is for one year, $5.25 million plus attendance bonuses worth $750,000. Ramirez also signed for one year at $2 million.

The Rays certainly arent going to fill the gap left by the departure of 1B Carlos Pena and LF Carl Crawford (among other) but they will put asses in the seats.

It seems as though this is the Rays new business approach--to sign has beens with name recognition just like they did in the early days when they signed Wade Boggs and Jose Canseco towards the end of their career.

Based on last years attendance numbers at Tropicana Filed, a winning team doesnt translate into good attendance and good tv ratings, so time will tell if signing aging has-beens will. Stay tuned.

Have The Patriots Turned Into The Colts--A Great Regular Season Team With No Playoff Heart?

For the past few days, expert and blow-hards have been trying like hell to figure out how the Jets beat the Patriots. They have broken down the game film, looked at the stats, etc, etc.

They are wasting their time.

The Jets wanted this game more. It is that simple.

The Jets played with passion, heart and determination--basically all the intangibles that don’t show up on game film. All the intangibles the Patriots used to have.

The Patriots are becoming the Colts right in front of our eyes. A great regular season team who just doesn’t show up in the playoffs.

Hence the past two years of “one n’ done.” Remind you of another team with a great regular season quarterback? A team with a quarter back who wins regular season MVPs yet is merely mortal come playoff time?

During the Patriots “dynasty” years, they used to us the “no one expects us to win” slogan as the chip on their shoulder. Then also had the “we feel disrespected” mantra. And that worked for a while.

But when the underdog wins repeatedly, the underdog becomes the favorite...and they become soft.

And the scary thing is, their opponents now have those same mantras that used to motivate the Patriots to prove the world wrong.

No one expected the Giants to beat the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. No one respected the Jets last week. Most were predicted a blow out by the Patriots.

So, will Tom Brady ever win another Super Bowl? Well, Brett Favre only won one Super Bowl ever. Same with Peyton Manning.  Tom Brady seems spoiled to have three.  What will motivate him to win a fourth?

For the next few years, we can expect to see the Patriots in the playoffs. Sure, they will get the occasional first round bye. But don’t expect to see a Super Bowl championship anytime soon. They have become soft.  As soft as the Colts.

Bruins Helping To Ease Pain Of Patriots Loss

In case you missed it due to mourning the Patriots loss, the Bruins made the Hurricanes look like a bunch of little bitches on Monday, beating them 7-0.

Zdeno Chara had a hat trick and Tim Thomas got his league leading seventh shut out.

Then on Tuesday, the Bruins beat the Hurricanes again, in a rare home-in-home series.

The Bruins have the best goalie in the league and are playing exciting hockey right now. Do yourself a favor and watch tonights game. It will ease the pain a bit. Trust me.

A Monument Honoring Paul The Psychic Octopus Goes Up In Germany

Paul The Psychic Octopus got immortalized in Germany today. The statue is at the Sea Life aquarium in Oberhausen, Germany and stands 6 1/2 feet tall. Sea Life Aquarium spokeswoman Tanja Munzig said Paul’s cremated ashes were placed in a gold-leaf-covered urn inside the ball.

No comment.

Knokkers: The Lovechild Of Bowling And Eight-Ball Pool

Just when you thought there was nothing left to invent. Someone has invented a hybrid of bowling and eight ball pool and it looks pretty friggin sweet.

Its a real game and its called Knokkers.  It puts cornhole to shame.  It is basically a huge pool table with balls the size of candle pin bowling balls.  I know bible thumpers strongly oppose neural genetic hybrids…but I must ask WHY?  This game looks friggin awesome.  I want one.
