The Super Bowl is a mere three days away, which brings us to that painful part of the promotion week where every single person who has even a remote involvement in The Big Game is granted a formulaic press conference. (Sample questions: "Excited about The Big Game?" "Who are you rooting for in The Big Game?" "Is this Big Game bigger than last year's Big Game?")
This QB has been shacking up with a Twilight star even though his wife is pregnant. This recently-divorced star is keeping her new boyfriend secret, and this celeb is helping a dancer with body image issues. That's downright noble.
Sure, Joe Thiesmann accidentally saying "Danny Woodcock" in reference to New England Patriots player Danny Woodhead is funny. But it's not as funny as Deion Sanders' laugh-cry-roll extravaganza would have you believe.
Watch Marshawn Lynch's touchdown, Super Mario style. The only way this could get better is if he did it while riding Yoshi into a castle.
For those who missed this Late Night gem, here's "The Pro Bowl Shuffle." In it, comedians rap Chicago Bears-style dressed as some NFL favorites (like Will Arnett as Brett Favre and Horatio Sans as Troy Palomalu.) Amusing lyrics included!
Anyone who watched last night's Pats-Packers game knows there was one clear-cut play of the game. Watch as Patriots' Dan Connolly wraps his mitts around this squib kick, and barrels down the field, 71 yards, for a miraculous near touchdown.
During a punt return yesterday, Jets conditioning coach Sal Alosi tripped Dolphins Cornerback Nolan Carroll as he was running along the sideline. Carroll walked off the field but returned in the fourth quarter. Alosi apologized later at the press conference.
This guy! The Jets' gregarious and extroverted head coach has a twin brother, for real. Rob Ryan is the Cleveland Browns' defensive coordinator, and they're playing each other this week. Rex decided to impersonate him at a press conference.
During practice, an errant throw had the Iron Man keeled over in pain. Call it karma, or just the wrong guy not paying attention. It might be his worst case of blue balls for the week! But that's just speculation.
Remember Carlton's sweet dance moves on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air? Detroit Lions cornerback Alphonso Smith does too. After scoring a touchdown Sunday against the Rams, he broke out into Carlton-like dance.
NFL Quarterbacks have to be accurate with their passes, but this is incredible: Sports Science tests Drew Bree's accuracy throwing a football verses an Olympic archer's ability with a bow and arrow. See how Drew does, in the video.
