Let it be know that I do not know what these crazy kids are up to these days but Desean Jackson decided to pull out the dance move, "The Jerk" during a touchdown celebration in the NFL Pro Bowl.
For those of you who don't know what "The Jerk" is, I have decided to post the music video that started it all by the "New Boyz" called, "You're a Jerk."
Now, I am not going to start calling myself an MMA fan but when former NFL player Herschel Walker starts beating fools, I might have to start paying more attention.
Walker made his first MMA appearance last night where he faced off against Greg Nagy and won in three rounds. To be honest, did anyone think that Herschel Walker, would tap out?
For those of you who wanted the entire fight, here it is:
Tomorrow is the 2010 NFL Pro Bowl or what most people like to call, "a bonafide snooze-fest featuring Chad OchoCinco".
However, there is still one singular moment from Pro Bowl History and that is former Washington Redskins safety Sean Taylor provided the hit that shook Hawaii.
Way back in 2007, Taylor was selected as an alternate for the NFC safety slot and got the start when then Eagles safety Brian Dawkins chose not to play due to injury.
Early on in the game, Colts receiver Reggie Wayne decided to duck out of Sean Taylor's way when trying to go after a pass. I think that ended up being a good decision on his part.
Later in the 3rd quarter, Buffalo Bills punter Brian Moorman decided to try and get the first down on a fake punt run.
Then this happened......
Man, that was nasty. The added benefit was hearing the NHK commentators from Japan call of the play and the collective groan of pain from the CBS announcing team of Greg Gumbel, Dan Dierdorf and Phil Simms when the hit happened. It's rare to hear a collective groan and "ohhh!" from a crowd and Sean Taylor got that. Gumble's line going to break was a classic line, "Whether it was decision or not, guess what, it was a bad choice."
When most players treated the Pro Bowl like a day to soak in the sun, Sean Taylor didn't stop playing his hardest. That was honestly the last moment that most of us remember Sean Taylor for. Taylor was killed in November 2007 when he shot as his home.
For those of you who decided to watch the snoozefest that was the Duke-Georgetown affair, the one positive was that you got to see United States president Barack Obama work his play by play pipes.
CBS announcers Verne Lundquist and Clark Kellogg gave the normal "meet and greet interview" but Obama defintely made this clip memorable.
Clearly, the best part of the clip comes near the 4:00 mark when Obama tells analyst Clark Kellogg that me might take his job in "three to seven years."
Washington Capitals defensivemen Mike Green is one of those players willing to mix it up with anyone.
Well, when the Capitals took on the Florida Panthers, he decided to lay an elbow to Florida Panther Michael Frolik.
Green after the game was suspended for three games for this elbow. For those of you wanting that in a monetary value, it will cost Green up to $81,000.
BUY LOW ^ LaMarcus Aldridge: Health has been an issue, but he should be OK down the stretch and he (again this year) doesn’t have to share point or rebound production with Greg Oden. ^ Devin Harris: A friend of ours in the New York media says that he has checked out mentally with the historically awful performance of the Nets. However, that is nothing that a trade won’t fix and rumors are flying. Pay close attention to them. ^ Dwight Howard: His point production is suffering due to opportunities – such as importing noted ball hog Vince Carter. The team cannot make it far in the playoffs with a marginalized franchised player – and they know it and will look to be correcting it. ^ Al Jefferson: This year has been an unexpected setback for AlJeff, but he’s getting closer to 100% on his surgically repaired knee. That’s bad news for the rest of the league. ^ Richard Jefferson: He’s sharing the ball with some other vaunted scorers in San Antone, but (temporarily) there’s one less in the mix. As Tony Parker recovers from his ankle issue, Jefferson will get the chance he needs to recover his offensive traction. ^ Kevin Martin: See Tyreke Evans – as his inevitable regression to the mean looms, Martin will get the chance to push his scoring average closer to 25.
SELL HIGH ^ Tyreke Evans: Any rookie, no matter how great, is in danger of hitting the vaunted “wall” when they push way past the number of games they’ve ever played before. Let history be your guide. ^ Allen Iverson: Philadelphia is quite frankly certifiably insane to take developmental time away from their young players in order to simply put some meat in the seats. Betting on this immense stupidity continuing throughout the course of the year is a risky proposition. ^ Brandon Jennings: See Tyreke Evans. ^ Chris Kaman: Can he sustain this level of play over a full season? He never has before. ^ Steve Nash: The point production is a tremendous surprise, but not really in line with his career trajectory or advanced mileage. Continue to bet on it at your peril. ^ Gerald Wallace: He’s always been a very good rebounder for not being a 4, but now he’s pushing into double-digits. That level is unrealistic.
BUY LOW ^ Brad Boyes: A recent 14-game goal drought drastically suppressed the value of one of the game’s best young scorers. That’s over, not least of which due to some line shifting, and better days are ahead. ^ Nicklas Lidstrom: Great numbers for anybody else are still mediocre tallies for the greatest defenseman of our generation. As his injury-crippled team heals, so will his numbers as the skill level of his teammates increases dramatically. ^ Chris Osgood: Over the past two years, his regular season and playoff performances have diverged as greatly as anyone in the history of the game. The Wings know they will need the iceman who shockingly helped carry them last spring once they hit this year’s playoffs. Thus, his opportunities will increase down the stretch as he nears the conference quarterfinals. ^ Mike Richards: He’s getting horrible ink in Philly and his game is in the dumper. Good for you if you’re looking to acquire him, as it would probably take circumstances this dire to make him available. Swoop in, ride out the storm and then benefit when things get better, probably after the long Olympic break. ^ Bobby Ryan: The lack of a signature on a proposed contract extension has been a bit of a distraction, but he’s shown way too much talent at an early age not to have his numbers pop up soon. ^ Henrik Zetterberg: Along with Pavel Datsyuk, he will benefit enormously from getting his legions of injured teammates back and forcing defenses to play him more honestly.
SELL HIGH ^ Craig Anderson: He’s been seeing a ton of work, he just posted his fifth shutout as part of a gaudy streak and his numbers are as good as they are going to get. Take your profit now. ^ Loui Eriksson: Vast improvement can happen from one year to the next with a young player – just realize that what you’ve seen so far is about as good as it’s going to end with him at the end. ^ Jimmy Howard: See Chris Osgood – as Ozzy inevitably sees more action, Howard will have to see less. ^ Duncan Keith: He’s a leading Norris Trophy candidate and undeniably one of the reasons that Chicago has had the huge year that it has had. Just realize that he’s very unlikely to be able to continue to build on what he’s done thus far and that he is tasty trade bait. ^ Daniel and Henrik Sedin: Everyone knows how great the Sedins are – and that is not the point. But if you expect them to continue on a Crosby/Ovechkin pace on a per-game basis, you may be disappointed. You can probably really clean up for either of them.
As it was expected, Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner has retired from the National Football League.
Warner who was the NFL MVP in 1999/2001 and played for the St Louis Rams, New York Giants and led the Rams to a Super Bowl victory in 1999 where he won MVP.
Warner was plucked from obscurity playing Arena Football with the Iowa Barnstormers and was bagging groceries at a Hy-vee Grocery store in Cedar Falls, Iowa before joining the Rams.
Warner got his shot due to an injury to starting quarterback Trent Green in a preseason game against the Chargers. Warner became the first NFL quarterback in his first three NFL starts to throw three touchdowns in each.
During Warner's tenure with the Rams, he led them to two Super Bowls. After losing his job to Marc Bulger, Warner quarterbacked the New York Giants in 2004 to a 5-4 before Eli Manning took over.
Warner's appeared to be the flash in the pan until Arizona signed him to a one-year deal in 2005 and eventually signed him to a long-term deal. Warner eventually led the Cardinals to Super Bowl 43 where they fell short against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Warner ends his playing career with 32,344 yards and 208 touchdowns.
During last night's affair between the Atlanta Thrashers and the Philadelphia Flyers, Thrashers goalie Johan Hedberg made a rather interesting save in the third period.
Hedberg charged after a puck and prevented a shot from left-winger Simon Gagne but had the unfortunate instance of losing his mask and having his head stuck in his jersey.
During a match in the African Cup of Nations between Algeria and Egypt, Algeria goalkeeper Faouzi Chaouchi was irritated at a call made by the official on a penalty kick.
Chaouchi got so mad that he slightly head-butted a referee. He received the yellow card for the offense and eventually ejected for receiving a second yellow card later in the match.
Chicago Bulls point guard Derrick Rose was name to his first all-star game today and the above highlight might show one of the reasons why he was selected.
In last night's game against the Thunder, Rose pulled-out this killer crossover and circus finish.
New England Patriots cornerback Shawn Springs was on ESPN First Take to discuss Super Bowl 44.
ESPN's Reischea Canidate asked him a question regarding which team's offense that you would least like to face. Then Sean mentioned something about a hurricane coming through the day of the game to prevent it from starting.
I'm going to assume that most of my readers here at OTB probably do not watch, "The View".
Well, this was the day Tim Hasselbeck circled on his calendar as part of his much-hyped job-swap with his wife, Elisabeth. Elisabeth did an episode of NFL Live last week and this week, Tim got to do what every man in televison wants to do, co-host "The View".
In the following clips, you will get to see Tim talk about football injuries, the State of the Union address, and the exit interview conducted with him and his wife.
By judging the exit interview, he will probably never come back, so enjoy these clips.
Tennis player Andy Murray is pretty good at the game of tennis and the above might prove that theory to be correct.
During his semi-final match versus Marin cilic, Murray hit an insanse shot that somehow went between the umpires chair and the stanchion of the net for a winning point.
There are many things you probably should not do in the NHL and I pretty sure what is number one on the list is taking a slap-shot of Alexander Ovechkin to the face.
Well, Jack Hillen of the New York Islanders got in the crosshairs of one and we now know that all should steer clear of an Alexander Ovechkin slap-shot from now on.
Let's be honest, I'm pretty sure that ESPN personality Michael Wilbon is a pretty cool dude but I think even he didn't expect to be mentioned in a rap ballad.
Rapper Joe Budden recently released the track called, "40/40" and mentioned the Pardon the Interruption host in this lyric.
"I'm interrupting with no pardon, I ain't Mike Wilbon"
Congrats Mr. Wilbon, now someone has to mention Tony Reali in their next joint.
President Barack Obama wlecomed the Los Angeles Lakers at the White House on Monday and congratulates them om winning their 15th championship last season. He also gets in a quick jab at Magic Johnson.
One thing that you have to say about working a live sporting event is that you can have the ocassional slip of the tongue at any moment.
This blunder happened to Andy Brickly of Versus when he was trying to explain the "success" that Detroit Red Wings forwards Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg have against the Phoenix Coyotes.
However for Brinkley, it didn't come out correctly.
I'm pretty sure that most of you out there in interweb land assume that the only way to score a goal on a header, only applies to soccer.
Well, Keith Tkachuk of the St Louis Blues in this highlight against the Chicago Blackhawks proved that even NHL players can score a goal using their head.
After meeting with Washington Wizards teammates Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton, NBA Commissioner David Stern has finally handed out their punishment.
Stern suspended both players for the remainder of the season without pay today for their role in an incident involving guns in the team locker room. Arenas was already serving an indefinite suspension issued by the league.
Both players have admitted to bringing guns into the locker room last month, a violation of the collective bargaining agreement. The incident stems from an argument the two players had while on a Dec. 19 flight from Phoenix.
"The issue here is not about the legal ownership and possession of guns, either in one's home or elsewhere," Stern said in a statement. "It is about possession of guns in the NBA workplace, which will not be tolerated."
Arenas has pleaded guilty to felony gun charge and Crittenton plans to plea guilty to one of two misdemeanor gun charges he is facing. Arenas, who is in the second year of a six-year, $111-million contract, is scheduled to be sentenced March 26.
At this point, NBA Comissioner David Stern had little choice to suspend both of them for the season.
It will be interesting in the coming weeks and months based on the decision made by the courts, whether or not if Arenas and 111 million dollar contract could be voided by the Wizards.
At least now, the Wizards can get back to playing basketball instead of worrying about Gilbert Arenas and Javaris Crittenton.
During the post-game press conference of the Syracuse-Georgetown affair, Syracuse Head Coach Jim Boeheim decided to turn into a stand-up comedian.
This all started when one of the reporters asked him regarding a cardboard cut-out of his face that the students were using to distract Georgetown players at the free throw line.
There are many things that we probably already knew about Cincinatti Bengals wide receiver, Chad OchoCinco.
One thing that I did not know was that he was a talented singer. In this clip, he performs his new hit song, "Dat Ain't My Baby" of his alleged new album called, "Child Please".
Yep, now the Grammy people will now have to deal with Chad as well.
This clip is from the Georgetown-Syracuse affair on Tuesday, ESPN's College Hoops announcers Jay Bilas, Sean McDonough, and Bill Raftery got a little lucky by landing on the Carrier Dome's, "Kiss Cam".
Great line from Raftery here directed at Sean McDonough, "It took him 25 years, he finally got kissed by a cheerleader."
There were probably many NFL fans who were screaming at the television when Brett Favre decided to throw that interception to Saints cornerback Tracy Porter in the NFC Championship game.
However, these were two that were caught on tape to be used for the glory for YouTube and to spread to the interweb.
It's been about 1,400 posts here on Outside the Boxscore, this is the first time that a clip from the Disney Channel has appeared.
The kid's show, "The Suite Life with Zack and Cody: On Deck" had a recent football related episode that somehow triggered a cameo appearance by Arizona Cardinals quarterback Kurt Warner which starts at about the 4:30 mark.
Kentucky Men's Basketball Coach John Calipari recently did an interview with SportsCenter's John Buccigrass and things got a little heated regarding a comment that Buccigrass made about Calipari's past teams.
It got to the point where he called him, "A Jagoff". (laughs quietly to self)
Of course, this was a ruse and Buccigrass and Calipari are friends but it's still pretty hilarious to John Buccigrass trying to hold back the laughter.
This might be the first time that a prank actually went for the prankee. The above video comes from Olanthe Northwest High School in Kansas City where science teacher Joel Branstrom was drawn from the audience to hit a blind-folded half-court shot.
Wait, I think this one was done already. (College Humor Did It) Anyway, the prank reward was that if Mr. Branstrom hit the shot blindfolded from half-court, he would win tickets to the Final Four this year.
Of course, this was a prank and there were no actual tickets. However, Branstrom hit the shot and I guess he will getting those tickets as a gift from the school or at least something instead of his Christmas bonus.
Update: Branstrom played for Kentucky back in 1994-1997 and is currently the girls basketball coach. However, the video appears to be legit.
Just when you thought that the Minnesota Vikings were on their way to Super Bowl 44, Brett Favre decided to pull a Brett Favre.
The interception by Tracy Porter (who actually grew in up in Port Allen, Louisiana. Great central casting, huh?) made the big play and sent the game into overtime as the Saints will be heading to Miami for the Super Bowl 44.
Huh, this seems familiar doesn't it? I think this happened before.
If you don't know who General Larry Platt is, then you must either not watch American Idol/CNN/MTV/ or you were just defrosted from a time capsule.
Platt performed "Pants on the Ground" for American Idol and the song has continued to become a cult hit. Last week, Brett Favre sang "Pants on the Ground" after the Vikings win against Dallas.
Well, General Larry Platt was invited by the Vikings to perform his trademark song during a team meeting. The grainy video is provided by Vikings left tackle Bryant McKinnie.
This might be one of the strangest delays that I have ever seen happen in any professional sporting event.
A unnamed Detroit Red Wings fan decided to scale the catwalk to watch the Los Angeles Kings-Detroit Red Wings affair.
Here is more information on it from the Associated Press:
An unidentified man was taken down from a conduit above a catwalk during a Detroit Red Wings game on Saturday night.
Almost an entire section of stands in the lower bowl was cleared out when the man was noticed during the second period of the Red Wings' 3-2 loss to the Los Angeles Kings at Joe Louis Arena.
After he was removed from the area, fans were allowed to return to their seats."We didn't know what was going on until somebody pointed it out," Red Wings captain Nicklas Lidstrom said.
Photographers have remote cameras stationed on the catwalk, but no one is usually there during games.
"He got in through one of the storage cages and came out through one of the cable traps used for show cables," arena audio engineer Ricky Gopigian said.
The players were certainly surprised.
"I don't know what the guy was trying to do or anything," Los Angeles forward Anze Kopitar said. "It's the first time I've seen that."
It's tough to provide a humorous response since we don't know the full story.
Oh well, at least I don't have to come up with one.
During the Denver Nuggets-New Orleans Hornets affair on Saturday night, Nuggets forward Kenyon Martin decided to lay the boom on Hornets forward Emeka Okafor.
In real life, you'd have to pay someone to do something like that.
QB: As KFFL Senior Editor Cory Bonini predicted on our airwaves, Matt Schaub took a giant leap forward this year and is a legit starting fantasy QB at this point. While Ben Roethlisberger is unlikely to be benefiting statistically from such an unbalanced offense again next year, he will be likely to reside at least at the level of borderline #1 fantasy QB, as should fellow Class of ’04 member Eli Manning. If he gets the help he needs at WR, Jay Cutler could crash the ranks of the top tier, with the same variable being the case for Joe Flacco. Matt Ryan is another likely candidate to break out in what will be his third year in the league. Of the players generally considered #1 QBs this year, the only one even borderline likely to drop out might be Donovan McNabb.
RB: Chris Johnson will be considered the top overall fantasy player in many leagues next year, but the workload he toted with a scatback’s physique should make you very wary. Despite an excellent ’09, Thomas Jones is giving way rapidly to Shonn Greene in New York. You should feel free to believe in Ray Rice, already Baltimore’s top offensive weapon. Running back splits may really devalue all players involved in Dallas and Carolina. Jamaal Charles should be at least a borderline #1 RB. The big rookies of ’09, Beanie Wells and Knowshon Moreno, may approach that point as well. Jerome Harrison is a huge question mark based on Cleveland’s historic unwillingness to play him before his breakout stretch, as well as his unsettled contract situation. LeSean McCoy should be worthy of at least a #2 RB selection as the transition to the future is on full-force in Philly.
WR: Sidney Rice and Miles Austin are crashing the top-tier party, while Calvin Johnson finds himself relegated to #2 despite being one of the five most physically gifted players in the league due to his primitive offense. Greg Jennings did not perform quite to the level that some expected, but with the overall explosiveness of the Packer offense intact and Donald Driver not getting any younger, there is really no reason to worry about him. As great as he was for parts of ’09, Brandon Marshall could well break out even bigger in ’10 if he ends up in the right situation. Considering the shape of Matt Ryan’s growth curve, Roddy White may still only be scratching the surface of his capabilities in the A-T-L.
TE: The exclusivity at the top tier of this position crumbled like the Berlin Wall in ’09, with one of the most radical transformations in the history of fantasy football. The Big Four is now joined on the top tier by a great many others: Brent Celek, Vernon Davis, Jermichael Finley, Heath Miller, Greg Olsen and Visanthe Shiancoe, to name a few. With others lurking in the same region of productivity (Chris Cooley, Owen Daniels, Zach Miller and Kellen Winslow II), for the first time ever there is absolutely no reason to select a TE before your starting RBs, WRs and QBs.
Previously on Outside the Boxscore, we has a couple of clips of ESPN college hoops analyst and former Notre Dame head coach Digger Phelps cutting a rug or two.
Well, he's back and this time, he gets down with a Clemson cheerleader.
Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the YouTube water, here is another Minnesota Vikings parody song based on the Black Eyed Peas hit, "I Gotta Feeling".
This is what happens when unemployment is at about 10%. Also to note, NFL fans have no shame, so I can at least say that I respect that.
Inspired by Nino Niederreiter's Creative Shootout Goal at CHL Top Prospects Skills Competition a couple of days ago, SportsCentre counts down the Top 10 best new ways to beat a goaltender in hockey.
Check out this exchange between Rangers coach John Tortorella and New York Post writer Larry Brooks after the Rangers fell to the Flyers 2-0 on Thursday, January 21, 2010.
Dwayne Johnson and Jonathan Coachman did a backstage promo for his new movie The Tooth Fairy that was included on Sportscenter. The Rock also gave us his Super Bowl picks. Johnson picked the Indianapolis Colts and the Minnesota Vikings.
Players of the two Russian youth ice hockey teams, the Penguins and the Northern Star, are trying to keep up with professionals in terms of fighting. A regular season game between the teams turned into a massive brawl on ice.
There are many ways to describe both of the fan produced YouTube music videos below but I think it's better to pass your own judgement.
The NFC Championship will pit the Minnesota Vikings vs. New Orleans Saints and these fans decided to show their loyalty by producing bad music videos.
Very sadly, one of these "Super-Fans" will have to deal with the agony of defeat while the other one will be pumped up and replaying this on loop in their house until the Super Bowl.
To be brutally honest, we stunk the joint up last week. When you go, 0-4 for the Divisional Round, it's pretty tough to ignore that.
The Great Sports Name Hall of Fame has already clinched the playoff prediction pick em' title as well. So many of you out there might say, "What do I have to play for?"
Three Words: Live to Win!
Here are my predictions for the Championship Games:
AFC Championship Game: Jets vs. Colts
Let's be honest, not even the most optimistic Jets fan thought that they would make it to this point. Rex Ryan and Darelle Revis "Island" have pretty much shut-down two of the most high-power offenses in the league.
However, Peyton Manning and the Indianapolis Colts are s completely different entity and let's be honest, if they didn't pull their starters, they probably would have cruised to a win against New York in week 16.
The Jets appear to be the hottest team left in the playoffs and it would seem to most fans that they might be able to pull of one more upset. However, conventional misdom would say take the Colts due to Manning & Company.
As much as it pains me to go against Peyton Manning, Sexy Rexy will be getting the Gatorade dump this Sunday.
Prediction: Jets over Colts
NFC Championship: Saints vs. Vikings
The Saints are hosting their first Conference Championship game in team history and it's nice to see a team that was on the verge of being moved to Los Angeles fight for that city.
That guy Brett Favre and the Minnesota Vikings come into with the demons of Minnesota past but if one player can get them past it, it's Brett Favre.
The Saints have an incredible offense with a spectualar running attack but the Vikings have a great run defense with the Williams brothers leading the crew. The Vikings pass rush will probably hassle, "Mr. Brees" and we all know the last time that Brees had to deal with a great pass rushing team, The Cowboys in week 15. Guess how that turned out?
One thing to watch for in this game is the turnover margin, the team that wins it will probably be booking a trip to the Super Bowl.
This prediction is tough but how can I go against, Guy who sung "Pants on the Ground"
During last night's Los Angeles Lakers-Cleveland Cavaliers affair, nearing the end of the fourht quarter, someone in the Quicken Loans decided to play Drake's new hit, "Forever" featuring Kanye West/Eminem/Lil Wayne.
Well, that caught the attention of one Lebron James who decided to lip-sync most of the Eminem part.
UPDATE: Regarding the audio, it might be enhanced to clearly see what Lebron is saying.
For those you that don't know, Conan O'Brien is on his last legs on the Tonight Show and on his second to last episode, he decided to cost NBC some more money before he leaves.
For the last episode it was the "Bugatti Veyron Mouse". For this episode, Conan decided to get the 2009 Kentucky Derby Winner, "Mine That Bird" in a mink Snuggie watching restricted NFL highlights.
Long Live, CoCo!
UPDATE: Allegedly, there are rumors around the interweb that the horse is not "Mine That Bird" but an imposter.
Also with a keen eye, those are probably not NFL highlights. However, they look alot like USFL highlights.
UPDATE Part 2: AOL Fanhouse has confirmed that the video being shown is USFL highlights of the 1984 Championship game between the Tampa Bay Bandits and the Houston Gamblers.
Well, yesterday's episode called, "Long Balls" had a golf-themed murder with special apperances by PGA pros: Rocco Mediate, Duffy Waldorff, and the always lovely Natalie Gulbis. There was also appearances from CBS golf announcers Gary McCord and David Feherty.
Here are some of the best clips from last night's show:
To put this video in perspective, it takes alot of balls to grab another man's balls especially if your a female co-host.
For the Italian show called Le Irene, co-host Elena Di Cioccio's decided to find out whether David Beckham's "strong leg and personal soccer balls" were up to size by groping him during a press interview outside of Milan.
Most of the video is in Italian but the press interview is in English and the reaction as well. I think I finally know how restraining orders start.
Most of you probably now that I was born in the Great White North of Canada and I have somewhat of a partiality to Canadian teams.
This clip from "Woody's World" flashes us back to the year of 1969 when the expansion Montreal Expos were getting their first taste of Major League Baseball.
Everyone has been piling on NBC of late regarding the whole Conan O'Brien/Jay Leno fiasco but should be more outraged by this instance during the Red Wings-Blackhawks affair over the weekend.
Side Ice Reporter Pierre McGuire was gushing over the goal-tending of Chicago Blackhawks goaltender Antii Nemi. Then while showing a highlight package, NBC was late to the gun to see Nemi get beat for a goal by Patrick Eaves off of a face-off.
It's been awhile since I've done a Michelle Beadle post, so I figure that post #1,400 was good milestone to add another one.
One of SportsNation's favorite games to play is "Walk the Plank" where cartoon character version of Colin Cowherd or Michelle Beadle either survives or falls into a gruesome death.
Usually, Colin is the pirate but Michelle has finally got into the pirate spirit in this clip.
Vincent Jackson of the San Diego Chargers gets called for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty during a crucial fourth quarter drive of their loss to the New York Jets. After catching a bomb from Phillip Rivers, he kicks the challenge flag thrown by Rex Ryan as the Jets called for a challenge.
If Jackson didn't commit that penalty, would the Chargers have kicked it deep and possibly given them another chance to get the ball back?
I know that alot of USC fans are a little pissed-off at Pete Carroll for leaving beautiful Southern California for the rainy Seattle but this video from Funny or Die might take "USC love" to a whole new level.
Rob Riggle plays the obsessed USC fan and well, Pete Carroll plays himself.
"You complete me coach.....That's not even the right movie."
