About that whole 2012 thing...
- Prince Fielder struck a bow for fat guys everywhere, as he’s set to sign a 9 year $214 Million deal with the Detroit Tigers.
- Wyoming’s Larry Nance, Jr. does his best Jordan impression with a “jumpman” dunk of his own.
- The Tampa Bay Lightning have fired their Thunderbug mascot for spraying a fan with silly string. I’m assuming the fan developed an incurable case of vaginitis from the ordeal.
- The Pennsylvania governor is using Joe Paterno’s funeral to distract from his own inaction. Surely not…
- Terrell Owens is broke and stuck playing for the Indoor Football League. He must be on the Antoine Walker retirement plan.
- Solar flares have resulted in the most spectacular Northern Lights displays in a long time.
- This Valentine’s Day, give the gift of cockroaches. Ew.
- It’s the Roast of Weed… heh… roast…

RIP, Joe. (AP Photo/Carolyn Kaster)
- Joe Paterno passed away over the weekend. I can’t think of a more tragic end to an otherwise glorious sports career than this one. Friend of the blog, Mark Buerger gives his take on the situation.
- Super Bowl XLVI is set and it features a familiar pairing. With all the Harbaugh versus Harbaugh talk, I guess it makes sense that neither brother would make it.
- Terry Bradshaw is an (old) lady’s man. Ew.
- Is Chip Kelly leaving the Ducks for the Bucs? It sure looks like it.
- Jay Cutler and Kristin Cavallari are expecting a baby. That whole “reconciliation” thing makes more sense now.
- College Basketball warns people not to get too excited yet. Too late.
- 5 historic sex scandals that put Bill Clinton to shame. That’s assuming Bubba can still feel shame.
- There are parenting fails… and then there’s this.

I’m pretty sure this is a parody acting as a real commercial, and thus inadvertently parodying itself.

So much for that...
- The AFC and NFC title games are set, as the Pats, Ravens, Giants, and Niners all survived the weekend.
- One of the Bernie Fine accusers has admitted to lying about his alleged abuse. Considering his particular allegations were already past the statute of limitations, this was, legally, a non-issue anyway.
- Now we know what’s wrong with Ole Miss basketball…
- Did the lock-out cost Louisville it’s best shot at an NBA team? I didn’t think NBA players were allowed to play in Louisville anyway.
- I’m guessing that this Sumo Referee may be re-thinking his professional choices.
- Philip Morris introduces their new Sinus PM cigarettes.
- 5 secrets of reality TV that they don’t want you to know. If these secrets result in Hulk Hogan/monkey team-ups, maybe we should leave well enough alone.
- 1996 + Bon Jovi + very little talent = Epic win.
