Idiot Shivers

Tom Brady and Floyd Mayweather, you are not my favorites. I think you two probably have a lot in common.

SloMo

One of my favorite parts of football is the slow motion playback function. How many times have I wished for that in real life? Oh man. Lots.


The best replays are of the kickers. They look like ballet dancers. Especially when the kick is blocked, like it was for Jon Ryan, from the Packers, this weekend. I'm really not being a jerk, it's just that you never get to see a dancer get pummelled by a 300lb guy. It's amazing to see the body's response.


The Bears won 35-7. I don't think anyone's performance in those conditions can be criticized. I wouldn't have been able to sit in the stands for that long.

Get Scrappy

Thanks, Hitman. No one could accuse you of giving a boring performance (Jim Lampley, cough cough). I could have done without the sequins on your robe, but your unrelenting aggression in the ring far outweighed any fashion faux pas.

I like you, Ricky Hatton. I can't wait to see what you do next.

Your Helmet, the Accessory

I am a fan of throwback jerseys. Kyle Orton takes it to the next level with his throwback facial hair.



Well played, Kyle. I'm digging your porn stache.





















The stache isn't for everyone, so Kyle has incorporated the full hipster beard into his look sans helmet. Clever move.
